Telltale’s very own Walking Dead is already down in the dumpster now, and Starbreeze’s latest Walking Dead isn’t really a fun game to play on the PC.

This time, Overkill, creators of Payday, decides to put our zombie-survival fantasies in Overkill’s The Walking Dead. Based on the critically-acclaimed source material, players will be left to survive in a doomed Washington DC. The game’s focus on co-op is a game-changer compared to previous Walking Dead games.

There will be role-playing elements present throughout the game and also stealth mechanics. Not to mention VR is supported! Currently out on Steam way back November 6, it didn’t get good feedback. The game suffers from a myriad of issues including unsatisfying combat, repetitive gameplay and technical issues. Although it’s not the end for the game yet, we’re hoping they manage to resolve most of their issues once they release it on the PS4 and Xbox One this February 6, 2019.

Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One

Hold up, this is not your usual Wolfenstein game. For the first time in the series, kill Nazis in Virtual Reality. Yes, you heard that right. This first person shooter is set 20 years after the events of The New Colossus and players assume the role of a Hacker working for the French. But instead of the good ol’ Nazi shooting, you spend most of your time hacking Nazi robots and turning them against their creators.

Aside from that, the best thing about this VR shooter is it avoids the rail-free experience. Players are not bound by camera restrictions and super scripted scenarios like the Rambo videogame.

The Outer Worlds for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One

This is a welcome surprise during the 2018 Game Awards. It’s a bit of a stretch to call this the real successor of Fallout. But with the disappointing release of Fallout 76, it might as well be. Directed by the creators of Fallout and currently being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the team that brought us Fallout New Vegas and South Park: Stick of Truth.

You play as a colonist who just woke up from a long hibernation on a colony at the edge of the galaxy… a colony that’s on a verge of destruction caused by corporate greed. There are little info on the actual gameplay, the loadouts available, how big the world is, the factions, and other minute details. We’ll have to wait for more details leading to the launch.

Keep in mind that there might be delays. The Outer Worlds is expected to release on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One sometime this 2019.

Blood Remastered Edition

Nightdive Studios, a studio whose mission is to bring lost and forgotten gaming treasures back, are going to hit us with another nostalgic hit with the remake of the classic PC FPS by Monolith Productions from 1997. The Original was said to be one of the most underrated shooters of the decade.

If you can’t guess from the title, it’s a horrific shooter with cult-ish themes. This remaster will borrow its retro-futuristic looks from the original, only with updates that will make it more compatible with the current gen systems -- AND THAT’S IT! The developers said that they want to preserve what made the original so special and then make the experience better for contemporary audiences.

For now, all we know is that it may be out on the PC sometime in 2019.

Scavengers

Another game announced at the recent Game Awards. This one puts us in the shoes of space-faring soldiers who must band together so they can survive the dangers that lurk in this alien planet.

After the planet’s natural dangers are conquered, that’s when the real fun starts -- a winner-take-all battle! If Midwinter Entertainment could develop a game that could perfectly balance survival, cooperation AND competition, ALL OF US WOULD WIN. That would just be extremely cool. Make it happen. No pressure.

For now, we don’t know much about the game including how many players could play per match nor when the actual game will get released.

So, go right ahead and reserve yourself a slot to beta playtest the game while we all collectively hope that Scavengers will be released sometime in 2019.
