
<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/capcom/">Capcom</a> has recently found success with the remakes of classic entries in the Resident Evil franchise. With <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/resident-evil-4/">Resident Evil 4</a> next in line for a remake, franchise creator Shinji Mikami comments on that possibility.</p>

<p>Talking to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/resident-evil-creator-talks-zombies-in-2020-and-how-his-games-will-change-post-pandemic"
>IGN</a>, Mikami comments, <em>"I saw a video of the Resident Evil 2 Remake and I thought it was very good. I think they're going to continue to remake these games since they're selling well." </em></p>

<p>When it comes to the inevitable remake of RE4, Mikami says, <em>“As long as it turns out good, I have no issues with it.”</em>
</p>

<p>Resident Evil 4 released in 2005, and it’s one of the only two RE games which Mikami directed. In the game you take control of former Racoon City officer Leon as he’s sent on a mission to rescue the US president’s daughter who was kidnapped by a mysterious cult.</p>

<p>Resident Evil 4 would be the last RE game due for a remake, as <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/resident-evil-5/">Resident Evil 5</a> was released for the current generation of consoles. Of course, they can also remake Resident Evil: Deadly Silence and The Umbrella Chronicles, but it may be best if the franchise just moved forward.</p>

<p>A remake of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/resident-evil-4/">Resident Evil 4</a> has not been officially announced, but with the success of the last two remakes, it’s very possible Capcom would say something before the year ends.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/soft-paw-studio/">Soft Paw Studios</a> has released a trailer for their new game on Steam, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/memory">Memory</a>.</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="1903" height="719" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tVZsOy8koUQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>Memory challenges your protagonist to spend summer in the quaint little town of Woodland Park, a beautiful cozy retreat far away from the stress of modern life. Your adventure begins as you settle at your Grandmother’s house and set out to explore your surroundings. </p>

<p>Little by little you realize that history long forgotten comes to surface and the inhabitants you meet carry tales of lost forgotten secrets from a buried past that will not stay hidden. You discover that a single terrible event forever changed Woodland Park and your task is to unveil the truth.</p>
</div>

<p>While the tagline teases a horror story, Memory looks like a stress free romp that will have you going around town, solving puzzles and mysteries. There will be several kinds of goals to pursue, from collecting radio transmissions to retrieving memories—all in the setting of the mysterious Woodland Park.</p>

<p>I think the vibe of the game is kind of ominous and creepy, but  that’s what the game is going for. After all, mystery and suspense are genres that go hand-in-hand.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/memory">Memory</a> is now available on Steam. You can find more games in our updated lest of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/new?sort-by=play_score">New PC Games</a>.</p>


Soft Paw Studios has released a trailer for their new game on Steam, Memory

Go Back to the Past with Soft Paw Studio’s Memory

<p>June was expected to be a big month for games, and though E3 2020 has been cancelled, Sony was planning a big reveal event for the highly-anticipated PlayStation 5. Due to the Black Lives Matter protests, Sony has opted to cancel their big reveal set for the end of the week.</p>

<p>Sony posted in their <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1267525525825900549">official announcement</a>:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>We have decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event scheduled on June 4.</p>

<p>While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.</p>
</div>

<p>Admittedly, this seems like a good move on Sony’s part. With the Black Lives Matter protests prompting attention from countries outside of the US, it wouldn’t be smart for Sony to try and have a big ‘celebration’ of their new console in the midst of the growing outrage.</p>

<p>On the other hand, there are also those fans who are downright angry that Sony has decided to make a delay, and some comments are being posted about how Sony is being unprofessional and taking away their ‘means of escapism.’</p>

<p>We don’t know when the PS5 reveal will be, but Sony will likely come up with a new date soon.</p>

Sony Delays PlayStation 5 Due To Black Lives Matter Protests


<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/valorant/">Valorant</a> is finally playable for everyone who missed the closed beta. Gone are the days of camping streams for keys, Valorant is here for everyone and hopefully here to stay.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/riot-games/">Riot Games</a> has said that this is a global release but some regions won’t have access to a dedicated server. In an official statement, <em style="color: rgb(176, 190, 197); font-weight: 400; font-style: italic">“You’re probably aware of this, but it’s worth reminding. There are still some regions that we can’t get to just yet, like Vietnam, India, the Middle East, and a few others, but everyone is welcome.”</em></p>

<p>Riot has addressed this issue by temporarily routing these regions to the closest server available, namely Asia and EU. The ping and latency might be a little higher, Valorant will still definitely be an enjoyable experience. </p>
										
<p>The tactical <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/first-person-shooter/">FPS</a> has received massive media coverage due to the unique way beta keys were distributed. There have even been multiple tournaments while the game was still in closed beta. Its launch comes with the release of the new agent Reyna, new map, and a new game mode.</p>

<p>Feudal Japan is a very colorful setting for a lot of games including Sekiro and the highly anticipated Ghost of Tsushima. Now independent game studio Endflame is bringing the horror genre to Feudal Japan with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ikai/">Ikai</a>.</p>

<p>Check out the first trailer:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="940" height="538" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/S1UM7mFwhjo" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote"><p>Ikai is a first-person psychological horror game set in a feudal Japan steeped in poverty. The story revolves around the spirits of the past and the present of Naoko, the priestess of a shrine. </p>

<p>She woke up within the unholy walls of the formerly sacred place, almost dead, almost alive. Countless yokais were wandering around, too close to humans, too close to Gods. The thin limit between the world and the underworld had broken.</p>
</div>

<p>While we only get to see one monster in the game, it looks like we should expect even more yokai to make an appearance in Ikai. Japanese folklore is very rich in all different kinds of superstitious beings, and there’s a lot to choose from when it comes to this game.</p>

<p>The main setting is a medieval shrine in which players will have to go through different types of minigames to try and ward off evil; from writing down protective seals or twiddling with magical artifacts. There will also be stealth elements to the game as players will be prompted to ‘be silent, do not disturb the evil.’</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ikai/">Ikai</a> is set for a release on Steam sometime in 2021.You can find more games in our updated list of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/upcoming">Upcoming PC Games</a>.</p>

Dive into feudal Japan for a serving of first-person horrors in this game from Endflame Studio.

<p>We’re almost halfway through the year, so we’re presenting you with all the releases you can look forward to next month. For more of these titles, you can check out our page for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/">all upcoming games</a> to keep updated.</p> 



<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/trackmania-nations-remake/">Trackmania Nations Remake</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ubisoft/">Ubisoft</a> has big things planned for their Trackmania Nations remake. More than a decade after its first release, this remake hopes to undo the mistakes of the first game--mainly the fact that it was overrun by ads, and that nobody cared for anything other than their campaign.</p> 

<p>In this new Trackmania Nations, the first change will be converting it into a live service, which offers daily track selections, frequent updates, and an enhanced track creator. Assuming there won't be any more ads, this will more than makeup for their past shortcomings, allowing players to keep coming back for more content, even after their amazing campaign experience.</p>

<p>Adding a new layer to a game already known for its expansive content, this just might be the change that the title needed and it’s coming out on the PC on July 1st.</p>


<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/marvels-iron-man-vr/">Marvel’s Iron Man VR</a></h2>

<p>We get to see Tony Stark alive in a different way with the coming of this <A href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/exclusive/">PS4 exclusive</A> VR title. Put on the famous Iron Man suit and fly through the skies in battles with drones, and a "ghost" from Tony's past. With so many VR games giving people a literally dizzying experience, it makes Marvel's Iron Man feel ambitious thanks to the unpredictable rolls and flicks of sky-high combat.</p> 

<p>We'll see how it actually plays when it comes out on July 3rd.</p>


<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/skater-xl/">Skater XL on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/skater-xl/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/skater-xl/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/skater-xl/">Switch</a></h2>

<p>Indie developers <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/easy-day-studios-pty-ltd/">Easy Day Studios</a> is doing its part to keep the skating genre alive and well. While it might not be the Skate 4 game that we've been looking forward to, Skater XL holds the fort well.</p> 

<p>With its focus on physics and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/simulation/">skateboard simulation</a>, it makes it perfect for skaters and skater enthusiasts that want to recreate real-life tricks in a digital environment.</p> 

<p>At first glance, its graphics aren't exactly impressive, and the fact that they're skating in empty streets makes it feel like a COVID scenario. But, its realistic tricks and smooth physics would make any skating enthusiast curious.</p> 

<p>Featuring Downtown Los Angeles, rush down Broadway, or grind down the rails of their historic sites, all along with their roster of true blue skaters. It might have some competition with the Tony Hawk remakes, but this is definitely still worth checking out.</p> 

<p>It’s releasing on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on July 7th.</p>


<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/nascar-heat-5/">NASCAR Heat 5 on PC</a>, <a href="">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>And we have another release that comes with a new season of NASCAR racing. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nascar-heat-4/">NASCAR Heat 4</a> has received some great reviews from players last time, and now we'll see how this latest installment will hold up series' expectations. Compared to Heat 4, it doesn't really bring as much to the table. Aside from the 34 tracks, Heat 5 will also have two brand new modes in the competitive challenge and a testing mode that will make perfecting your setups that much easier.</p> 

<p>Hopefully it delivers when it comes out on PC, PS4, and Xbox One this July 10th.</p>


<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sword-art-online-alicization-lycoris/">Sword Art Online: Alicization Lycoris on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sword-art-online-alicization-lycoris/">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/sword-art-online-alicization-lycoris/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>The Sword Art Online fanbase has plenty to celebrate, what with the coming of this adaptation of the anime's original storyline. This will be the first time players will get to experience Kirito's adventures in the mysterious virtual world of the Underworld in a brand new light. This may not be the first Sword Art Online Game, this will be the first with an all-out experience for anime fans, packed with intense battles, stunning <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/jrpg/">JRPG</a> visuals, and an expansive world to roam around in. But, on top of all that, it'll also have a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/upcoming/multiplayer/">multiplayer mode</a> that lets you play around with up to three different friends.</p> 

<p>A treat for old fans and new, it's coming out on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on July 10th.</p>


<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/f1-2020/">F1 2020 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/f1-2020/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/f1-2020/">Stadia</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/f1-2020/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>The new formula one season has made its start so <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/codemasters/">Codemasters</a> follows suit with a spanking new entry for their flagship F1 series. For this year's installment, we'll be taking a look at a handful of new features.</p> 

<p>The biggest news of all should be the My Team mode, something completely separate from their career-mode, and which will take players into the role of drivers slash managers. In My Team, you're expected to be the expert of both being behind the wheel as well as the behind the scenes details of F1 racing management.</p> 

<p>F1 2020 will also take new leaps forward in terms of handling, offer fixes to some of the connectivity issues of the last entry, and welcome the return of split-screen <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/racing/">racing</a>.</p> 

<p>While we’ll witness all these awesome new features on the latest-gen consoles too, PC and current console owners should be happy to take it for a spin on July 10th.</p>


<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/deadly-premonition-2-a-blessing-in-disguise/">Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise</a></h2>

<p>The second installment of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/deadly-premonition/">Deadly Premonition</a> is almost here and if its trailer is something to go by, it's about to bring its brand of weirdness into a whole new kind of environment.</p> 

<p>If Deadly Premonition felt like a Twin Peaks meets Resident Evil, then this latest entry will blow our minds with its True Detective-like vibe.</p> 

<p>The trailers don't give us too much information, but according to a Nintendo Direct, this sequel will connect the series's past and present through the story of FBI agent Francis York Morgan. Deal with inter-dimensional elements in a non-linear narrative and meet some of the characters from the old game.</p> 

<p>With the first game getting a lot of flak from critics for its awful mechanics, this upcoming installment will hopefully offer a better overall experience.</p> 

<p>It's coming exclusively to the Switch on July 10th</p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/story-of-seasons-friends-of-mineral-town/">Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town</a></h2>

<p>Having made the original Harvest Moon series, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/marvelous-aql/">Marvelous</a> jumps at the chance of recreating one of the most beloved titles in Story of Seasons. Improving on the original Gameboy Advance title in almost every way, rediscover the joys of the simple life in Mineral Town. Bring your grandfather's farm back to life and meet some of the original townsfolk--this time with a 3D graphical overhaul and over 20 crop varieties.</p> 

<p>A new and improved version, set to release on the Switch this July 14th.</p>


<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/death-stranding/">Death Stranding</a></h2>

<p>After its most awaited debut on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/death-stranding/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/kojima-productions/">Kojima</a>'s latest masterpiece is now headed to the PC, to show off the beauty of its shattered world on a new platform. Clearly, beauty is what it's going for on the PC, since with its entrance to the PC, comes higher frame rates, ultra-widescreen support, and a new photo mode that seems made for everyone with a three monitor setup.</p> 

<p>It's set to release on July 14th</p>


<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/paper-mario-the-origami-king/">Paper Mario: The Origami King</a></h2>

<p>Another Mario classic series is making its entrance to the Switch this year. This Mario RPG has been popular since the N64 days, and this latest game is determined to switch up the formula with a new take on its iconic style. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/intelligent-systems/">Intelligent System</a>'s Origami King shows off a more diorama-like approach, with famous Mario characters given the folded paper makeover.</p> 

<p>On top of the intriguing new storyline, we're definitely looking forward to seeing it this July 17th</p>


<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ghost-of-tsushima/">Ghost of Tsushima</a></h2>

<p>Perhaps one of the most anticipated games coming this July. This upcoming title from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sucker-punch-productions/">Sucker Punch</a> has grabbed our attention since its first announcement at E3. Through the years, we've slowly gotten to know it better, from its cinematic announcement trailer to its gameplay debut, and eventually, its story trailer captured from the PlayStation 4 Pro.</p> 

<p>But, just recently, Sucker Punch gave us a lengthy overview with 18 minutes of gameplay footage, showing off its <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/open-world/">open-world exploration</a>, combat, customization, and just more of their breathtaking environment and beautiful Japanese flute soundtrack is enough to have us excited to get our hands on it.</p>

<p>Ghost of Tsushima exudes respect for Japan's rich history, it almost feels like a cultural field trip that will be packed with exciting sword fighting and hopefully a compelling storyline through Jin Sakai.</p> 

<p>We’ll see how it all unfolds as it releases exclusively on the PlayStation 4 this July 17th</p>


<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/rock-of-ages-3-make-break/">Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/rock-of-ages-3-make-break/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/rock-of-ages-3-make-break/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/rock-of-ages-3-make-break/">Switch</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/rock-of-ages/">Rock of Ages</a>' third installment is a giant boulder of an entry. Known for their crazy downhill destruction, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ace-team/">ACE Team</a>'s Make & Break adds a ton of new features to the mix to make destroying their wacky medieval settings even more satisfying. The biggest change should be their new level editor that allows your imagination to run wild, creating, and customizing stages to your heart's content. To add to that is the new multiplayer mode. Unleash your inner Terry Gilliam, and watch the chaos unfold with up to three different rivals.</p> 

<p>It's set to release on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on July 21st.</p>


<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/grounded/">Grounded on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/grounded/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>One of the games from last year's Xbox One showcase, Grounded takes a page out of Honey I Shrunk The Kids as it tells the story of four kids shrunken down to ant size in the name of science. Aside from giving us a view of our own world in a new perspective, the fact that it's a game from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/obsidian/">Obsidian</a> should also suggest that we'll get a pretty good narrative experience despite its outlandish premise.</p> 

<p>Discover an ecosystem of monstrosities in your own backyard, and survive the land with new bases and an arsenal of unique weapons. It's coming out to the PC and Xbox One on July 28th</p>


<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ary-and-the-secret-of-seasons/">Ary and the Secret of Seasons on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ary-and-the-secret-of-seasons/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/ary-and-the-secret-of-seasons/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/ary-and-the-secret-of-seasons/">Switch</a></h2> 

<p>Before this game has even officially come out, it's been winning awards left and right. It's an <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/adventure/">adventure game</a> that's full of heart, telling the story of the young Aryelle who has the power to  control the seasons.</p> 

<p>When we first had a look at the game, it felt like it had the charm of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nintendo/">Nintendo</a>'s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/">Breath of the Wild</a>, carrying that same kind of wondrous environment that's packed with creatures to battle and puzzles to solve. With their latest gameplay overview, we got to see a lot of how Ary's world worked.</p> 

<p>Set in the world of Valdi, we'll get to explore a world separated into four regions, each representing one of the four seasons. But with the world out of balance, it's up to Ary to discover the reason behind the mystery.</p> 

<p>Seeing just how magical-looking the world of Valdi is, there's no doubt we'll have a lot of fun discovering each of its unique corners and it's coming out on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on July 28th.</p>


<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/destroy-all-humans/">Destroy All Humans! on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/destroy-all-humans-2020/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/destroy-all-humans/">Stadia</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/destroy-all-humans-2020/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<p>There's not much that makes Destroy All Humans brand new, but as one of the many memorable cult classics, this remake is a great way of introducing a much-loved title to a brand new generation.</p> 

<p>A game from the early 2000s but set in much earlier in the 1950s, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/black-forest-games/">Black Forest Games</a>' remake includes all of the hilarious, satirical antics of the original game. Play as every day alien who comes to earth to terrorize the poor humans on Earth using special alien technology.</p> 

<p>At its core, it's always been a funny as hell parody, making fun of "fun" themes like genocide and the Cold War.</p> 

<p>This remake will offer not just a graphical makeover but also a polishing of its old mechanics and features. A lot of remakes have come in with the same antiquated controls and mechanics, but hopefully, Destroy All Humans will keep up with the pace as it releases on PC and consoles this July 28th.</p>

Just in, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/naughty-dog/">Naughty Dog</a> has dropped a new ‘State of Play’ video, and it gives us an in-depth look at the game mechanics as well as 8 minutes of gameplay.</p>

Over the course of this nearly 25 minute episode, Neil Druckmann, Director of The Last of Us Part II, will provide an extensive look at the gameplay, threats, and world of the game ahead of its release on 19th June on PS4. To cap it all off, he’ll introduce a never-before-seen extended gameplay sequence to close out the show.

</div>

<p>In general, the game looks pretty much like the first, what with Ellie sneaking around and taking out enemies with a variety of weapons. The big difference is that there will be a more extensive customization option for gear, and we also get a variety of both human and infected baddies, each with their own unique way of harassing the player.</p>

<p>I also forgot to mention they’ve added dogs to the game, which makes it harder to sneak around because they can track your scent.</p>

<p>For now, fans are carefully navigating the internet because of the leaks of the story, but with June almost here, they won’t have to be careful for too long. Good thing Naughty Dog is also trying their best to keep spoilers down to a minimum.</p>

<p>Catch <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-2/">The Last of Us Part II</a> when it becomes available on June 19. You can find more games in our list of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/upcoming">Upcoming Games of PS4</a>.</p>

<p>After the Infamous games, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sucker-punch-productions/">Sucker Punch</a> is set to bring something entirely new to players with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ghost-of-tsushima/">Ghost of Tsushima</a>. With a games set in medieval Japan being synonymous with ‘difficult’, the devs tease a challenging that is sure to keep everyone on the edge of their toes.</p>

<p>Talking to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/ghost-of-tsushima-devs-discuss-challenging-combat-incredibly-difficult-samurai-fights">IGN Nordic</a>, creative director Nate Fox explains:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
"We are trying to make a grounded game in that sense, so a couple blows from the enemy will kill you. The game is very challenging. We have three words to describe the combat: Mud, blood and steel. We absolutely honor the lethality of the sword. We watched samurai movies and people go down with one or two strikes, and that is embedded inside of the combat.”
</div>

<p>Art director Jason Connell also teases that players will have to be more creative when it comes to their playstyle. While players have gotten used to taking out horde after horde of goons in other games, Ghost of Tsushima force you to be smart about taking on a handful of enemy samurai when you run into them.</p>

<p>Admittedly it would be tough for Tsushima to come out a month after the release of the highly anticipated <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-2/">The Last of Us Part II</a>, but I’m sure there are some fans who prefer hacking their way through feudal Japan rather than braving the zombie apocalypse.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">In 1274, the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the Japanese island of Tsushima and slaughters its legendary samurai defenders. Jin Sakai is one of the last survivors of a noble samurai clan. To combat his overwhelming foes, he must pioneer deadly new fighting techniques--the way of The Ghost--and wage an unconventional war for the people of Japan.</div>
