<p>The last entry of the Sakura Wars game franchise came out back in 2005 with <strong>Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love</strong>. Now, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sega/">Sega</a> is set to release the latest iteration for the PS4 this year, and we have a new trailer for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sakura-wars-daemon-conflict/">Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<p>Here’s the official description for the game:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>As the Imperial Combat Revue prepares to compete in the Combat Revue World Games, their challenge is far bigger than just themselves. As with every combat revue in the world, their true purpose is to protect their city from demons-hostile, grotesque creatures born from the anger and malice of human beings.</p>

<p>Beyond their revenue-raising theater productions, the team has been training and getting their Type-3 Kobu Spiricle Armor and Mugen-class Spiricle Strikers combat-ready in order to bring the Flower Division back to its rightful role as Tokyo's venerable defense force.</p>
</div>

<p>The game had actually come out to the Japanese market last year, but only now is it finding itself being brought to Western audiences. Sakura Wars actually mixes several game elements together; besides your standard action <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/best/rpg/" title="PlayStation 4 RPG ranking">RPG</a>, you also have character interactions akin to that of SIM dates.</p>

<p>What’s interesting is that the character designs from this game come from Tite Kubo, who is best known for his work on the hit anime/manga Bleach.  I have to say, Kubo’s art gives a new feel to the world that was created by Oji Hiroi, and I love this new generation of Kobu pilots.</p>

<p>Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict is set to come to the PS4 on <strong>April 28</strong>. For more games coming soon, you can check out the complete and updated list of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/upcoming">Upcoming PS4 Games</a>.</p>

Sega will be releasing Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict this year and we have a new trailer to check out

Sakura Wars: Demon Conflict Gets New Western Release Trailer

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/destructive-creations/">Destructive Creations</a>' twin stick murder simulator, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/hatred/">Hatred</a>, is a controversial game in itself, but its <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming">upcoming Switch</a> release is also stirring things up.</p>

<p>This move to the Switch was announced on their <a href="https://twitter.com/DestCreat_Team/status/1248932616973189120">official twitter account</a> last April 11.</p>

<img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/content/Hatred.JPG" alt="Tweet from developer reveals Hatred Switch release"></img>

<p>Hatred is a shoot 'em up first released on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hatred/">PC</a> in 2015 with a trailer inviting players into a "genocide crusade," playing the villain which kills civilians and law enforcement in violent ways. </p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ytdEYapPXdY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>It was removed from the Steam Greenlight service for a while before it was reinstated <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2014/12/16/7406713/hatred-returns-to-steam-greenlight-valve">with a personal apology from Valve co-founder Gabe Newell</a>.</p>

<p>Hatred is awarded with an Adults Only (AO) rating. With Nintendo's history with AO-rated videogames like Manhunt 2, it remains to be seen whether the devs or the console manufacturer will make adjustments to accommodate it.</p>

<p>Right now, its score on the PC isn't too impressive. But, while its criticscore is an abysmal 4.86, it did better with gamers where it scored a 7.73. So while it might be a controversial game to get on the console, its gory violence may be an acquired taste.</p>

<p>Hatred for the Switch currently has no firm release date. In the meantime, you can find more by visiting our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming">Upcoming Switch Games</a> list.</p>

Destructive Creation recently confirms that their "genocide crusade" is headed for the Switch soon.

Adults Only Shooter, Hatred, is Coming to the Switch

<p>Echo has been introduced to the world of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/overwatch/">Overwatch</a> way back in 2018, but two years have passed and she hasn’t been a playable hero. With her <a href="https://whatoplay.com/news/watch-origin-and-gameplay-for-overwatch-next-hero-echo/">announcement last month,</a> Blizzard has now revealed when Echo will officially become accessible to all players.</p>

<p>According to the <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1248291394118008833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1248291394118008833&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fepicstream.com%2Fnews%2FBayaniMiguelAcebedo%2FEcho-Officially-Comes-to-Overwatch-Next-Week">official post</a>, Echo will arrive to Overwatch <strong>tomorrow, April 14</strong>.</p>

<p>Echo has been classified as a damage hero and has the unique ability to mimic enemy heroes. Her ultimate will give her the choice to pick a hero from the enemy team and duplicate them—including their ultimates (which charge up 6 times faster for Echo). It’s worth noting that Echo cannot die when she’s mimicking an enemy hero, and what’s more, the hero on the enemy team being duplicated cannot change characters.</p>

<p>Characters usually come to Overwatch a month after the announcement, but with COVID-19 effectively delaying everything, everyone was guessing that Echo would arrive a little later than planned. What’s great is, it looks like she’s going to come right on time, and is sure to keep players interested while they try to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/news/free-games-for-gamers-in-quarantine-watch-dogs-stanley-parable-giveaway-ends-soon/">self-isolate</a>.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Join the fight for the future in the Game Awards’ winner of “Best Ongoing Game.” Take your place in the world of Overwatch and choose your hero from a diverse cast of soldiers, scientists, adventurers, and oddities. Bend time, defy physics, and unleash a dizzying array of extraordinary powers and weapons. Engage your enemies in iconic locations from around the globe in the ultimate team-based shooter.</div>

<p>Echo arrives April 14. Overwatch is currently playable for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/overwatch/">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/overwatch/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/overwatchr-legendary-edition/">Nintendo Switch</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/overwatch/">PC</a>.</p>

<p>Operation: Scarlet Spear may have arrived at PC early, but now <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/digital-extremes/">Digital Extremes</a> is proud to announce that the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/warframe/">Warframe</a> event is now live on all platforms from the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/warframe/">Xbox One</a> to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/warframe/">Nintendo Switch</a>. What’s more, the event on the consoles promises to bring something new to its platforms compared to PC.</p>

<p>The console version of Scarlet Spear promises to have an ‘all-new five-week Operation’ that will be specific to console players. Scoring changes have also been added to Ground Assault and Murex Raid. Little Duck’s store, on the other hand, will have more Rare and Legendary Arcanes available.</p>

<p>The update also promises to give players access to new items like Nova’s second Deluxe Collection. You’ll also be able to get a powerful new weapon class to earn, among other items like variants of Novas armor and skins of signature gear.</p>

<p>In the scramble to counter the Sentients’ first offensive wave of the New War, players can now form plans together in the new Operation Room before launching expanded cooperative land and space battles. Only with the newly implemented Operation Link (formerly ‘Squad Link’), will Tenno have a fighting chance to stave off Sentient incursions in this five-week event</p>

<p>We know that the wild west is a genre that goes hand in hand with video games, but one-man-army studio Smash the Code is aiming to bring us to the ‘weird west’ with this new game called <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/western-sigil/">Western Sigil</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AcszjR7U320" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Western Sigil is a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tower-defense/">tower defense</a> & resource management game with a dose of strategy, where you control units of unlikely allies. Shoot your way through the hordes of orcs, goblins, and other evil creatures to find the ancient sigils and save the strange world of Weird West from the spreading plague!</p>

<p>As you can see, it’s a nice mashing of genres that takes the cowboys and bandits of the wild west and has them clash with fantasy monsters like orcs, spiders, and goblins. What’s more, the game promises to add a fresh twist to the Tower Defense mechanic, and will force players to strategize and utilize appropriate units to take out specific enemies.</p>

<p>I also think that the game has some pretty interesting aesthetics. Though the look is simple, I think the minimalist approach really gives this game a signature feel, and it’s a cute look for a game set in the ‘weird west’. Impressive coming from a one-man-team of Michal Soczynski.
Hopefully we get a look at more of the game soon.</p>

<p>Western Sigil is set to come out for PC sometime in 2021. Add it to your Steam Wishlist here. Check out our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/upcoming">Upcoming PC Games</a> list for more PC games coming soon.</p>

<p>We’ve had multiple films about shrunk people from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to Ant-Man, and now Glob Games Studio is bringing that experience to games with their new trailer for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/microman/">MicroMan</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ASuX027tWzw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>MicroMan is a new game combining adventure, action and survival that will allow you to look at the human world from a completely new perspective.</p>

<p>The game basically has the main character shrunk to the size of an ant, and they’ll have to traverse the game, trying to find a way to get back to normal size. In place of enemies, gamers will have to go up against small animals like frogs, hedgehogs, and ants, and they’ll also find different ways of travelling like with butterflies or falling leaves.</p>

<p>Glob Games VP Karol Marcinkowski also had this to say about MicroMan:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">
<p>“Our new game will allow you to look at the human world from a completely fresh perspective. MicroMan will have to face adversities that the average person would not even think of. We will provide the players with a surprising, dynamic and – at the same time – very multifaceted adventure. </p>

<p>We will be fighting rats, running away from a hedgehog, looking for a way to get on the bus or trying to avoid getting crushed by human feet. And these are just some of the things MicroMan will offer. All this will be wrapped in stylish audio and visuals and sprinkled with a good dose of good humour”</p>
</div>

<p>I don’t know about you, but I think they should have found a way to pitch this game to Marvel as an Ant-Man video game. But then again, maybe that was the plan, and they ended up just making MicroMan because the game couldn’t get picked up.</p>

<p>It’s just a theory.</p>

<p>MicroMan is set to debut on Steam in the latter half of 2021, but we should also expect it to release for Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X.</p>

We’ve had multiple films about shrunk people and now Glob Games Studio is bringing that experience to games with their new trailer for MicroMan.

<p>The kickstarter campaign for an orchestral CD of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stardew-valley/">Stardew Valley</a>'s music has hit a new milestone today. With 200 backers and over $7000, this means we'll be seeing a complete album of recordings of the music from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/concernedape/">ConcernedApe</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/chucklefish-games/">Chucklefish</a>'s indie sensation.</p>

<p>The campaign was backed by VGM Classics, an American record label who has been at the forefront of recording orchestral music for videogames. </p>

<p>Stardew Valley has been a universally loved title since its debut on the PC in 2016, and it's definitely a fitting choice for the project. Its music completes its already charming retro pixel atmosphere, and enjoying them as orchestral pieces would be a treat for any fan of them.</p> 

<p>For a sneak peek of what the album will offer, here's a video the team playing the Stardew Valley Overture:</p>

<p>Last year Movie Games had announced the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/drug-dealer-simulator/">Drug Dealer Simulator</a> and the game is set to come out to Steam next week. What’s great is, you can actually try out a free demo now to know what’s in store for the game.</p>

<p>Here’s the description for Drug Dealer Simulator: Free Sample:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Drug Dealer Simulator: Free Sample is an introduction to the dark alleys of the ghetto. An extended already available demo version, where you can get through up to 8 levels of dope business transactions, play much longer and get to know about more key mechanics. It's also updated and upgraded build, so it reflects almost exactly the final form of the game experience.</div>

<p>To also get you hyped up for the game, Movie Games has released the soundtrack for DDS which you can check out here.</p>

<p>The game looks pretty fun, and will try to give you an authentic ‘dealer’ experience. Besides going around slinging marijuana or cocaine to not so reputable folks, the game will also have you figuring out ways to hide your product and finding places to spend the money that you make. You should be careful though, because if you don’t watch your back, the DEA will come knocking at your door.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Drug Dealer Simulator is a first-person game where you must deal with suppliers of goods, learn to prepare and set portions, manage growing production and distribution, customer relations, as well as a cartel and gangs. It's up to you whether to become an honorary "entrepreneur" enjoying the maximum benefits of clever operation on the black market, or an ordinary thug who unscrupulously uses everything and everyone on their way to the drug summit.</div>

<p>Drug Dealer Simulator: Free Sample is available now, and the full game comes out on Steam this coming April 16.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/wired-productions/">Wired Productions</a> released <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/deliver-us-the-moon/">Deliver Us the Moon</a> on PC last year, and the game received generally great reviews when it came out. Now, this sci-fi thriller is coming to console, and they've released a video about The 5 Things You Need to Know about Deliver Us the Moon.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QbnW5w12GlI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Probably the game’s strongest point is the storyline, which is pretty solid and straightforward. There has also been a lot of great things said about the graphics, with a lot of praise going toward the feel of a lone astronaut stranded in a space station. If anything, it kind of looks like they took last year’s Ad Astra and turned it into a game.</p>

<p>When it comes to the weaker side of things, gameplay is said to be a tad repetitive, and there’s now option to adjust what some consider wonky camera movement. Either way, it’s a solid experience, and I can’t wait to see what Wired Productions has next up their sleeve.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">What begins as a casual conversation between two crew members onboard the orbiting Pearson Space Station, rapidly descends into a frantic exchange as one of the engineers experiences a series of strange readings from the lunar surface below...</div>

</div>

<p>Deliver Us the Moon comes to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/deliver-us-the-moon/">PS4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/deliver-us-the-moon/">Xbox One</a> on April 24. The game is also available now for PC.</p>
