Deathloop
Deathloop is a twisted take on the idea presented in Groundhog day. The game follows 2 assassins that are closed in a time loop, cursed to kill each other for eternity. Your only chance of breaking this cycle is by eliminating 8 targets in a single day. To do this, you will have to learn from your mistakes, gathering valuable info, new weapons, and abilities. Deathloop is played through Colt's eyes, but you can always jump into multiplayer mode, where you can control another assassin and invade other players. We are hoping for a mind-bending experience and hope developers will deliver.

Aragami 2
Aragami 2 is an upcoming stealth adventure in which you take the role of elite assassins who can control the shadows. It's your job to help other Aragmi locked by invaders and protect your village from an incoming attack. There are 2 ways to do this: strike from the shadows or engage in challenging direct combat that looks pretty stylish. Aragmi 2 can be experienced solo or in co-op with 2 friends, and we can't wait to try it.

Sable
Here we have a promising puzzle adventure with a very distinct visual style. In it, you will guide a Nomad named Sable through her rite of passage known as Gliding.

Judging by the trailer, we can expect a mesmerizing and meditative experience with a lot of secrets to uncover.

Far Cry 6
The new installment of this cult open-world FPS is set in the tropical Yara, which is a fictional Caribbean island. You will play as Dani Rojas, a guerilla fighter whose goal is to bring down Anton Castillo and his ruthless dictatorship. Far Cry 6 doesn't seem to have changed its formula, so we can expect a hectic and fast-paced action through the beautiful war-torn country.

Release Date: October 7th
Metroid Dread
It's been nearly 20 years since the last 2D Metroid game, but the wait is finally over. Metroid Dread will tie into the story that started back in the mid-80s. The game will once again follow Samus Aran, as she travels to a planet called ZDR to investigate a weird transmission. Turns out, the whole planet is infested with deadly robots E.M.M.I – and they don't like you one bit. To survive, you will have to run and use newfound abilities to evade these sophisticated enemies. It seems that Metroid Dread also took some inspiration from titles like Alien: Isolation, and we are wondering how this will pan out.
Platforms: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: October 8th
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes
House of Ashes is the 3rd installment of a cinematic choice-driven horror game. Set in Iraq during the invasion, your mission is to explore an underground weapon facility.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
In the sea of superhero movies that have overflown the market, Guardians of the Galaxy holds a special place in my heart. Now, Marvel has decided to bring this experience to all popular platforms. We will take the role of a Star-Lord as he leads the unlikely cast of Guardians through the series of chaotic battles.
