ICYMI: Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Gets An Early Access Release Date

<p>The first <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/little-nightmares/">Little Nightmares</a> game was a success. It evoked a feeling of uneasiness, even for veterans of the horror-genre. As a little girl trapped in a hellish dimension, she must escape to survive the monsters.</p> 

<p>In <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/little-nightmares-ii/">Little Nightmares 2</a>, the girl in a yellow raincoat returns, but players will not be taking control of her. Instead, they will control Mono. A young boy trapped in a dimension distorted by a distant signal tower. Together with Six, they must work together to set out and discover the sinister secrets of the world, all while running away from the evil clutches of the unknown.</p> 

<p>This sequel also adds a brand new feature which incorporates AI to Six, where she will act as Mono’s companion and solve puzzles together. The relationship between these two will flesh out the lore between the mysterious Maw and its demonic entities.</p> 

<p>Also new to the game is the emphasis on grabbing objects in the environment to unlock certain points. It will add a whole new layer of complexity to the game. Stealth, on the other hand, is still a required feature and it is as important as ever. Time-pressure by means of monster types are still present and quick thinking is necessary.</p> 

<p>Lastly, among its biggest addition is the freedom for players to explore the outside of The Maw. Which opens a new door for exploration, that means there will be new enemies to encounter and places to be.</p> 

<p>Little Nightmares II will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Digital) and Nintendo Switch this 2020.</p>

But hey, that’s not a bad thing, especially when you’re the iconic hero with the legendary gunblade battling through time.</p> 

<p>FF8, considered as one of the greatest Final Fantasy titles, is finally making its way to the Switch with improved visuals, sound and voice acting this time around. If you’re familiar with this mind-bending journey, this is your chance to relive these character’s stories. For new players, you are always welcome to experience this underrated classic. 
It’s not Final Fantasy 7, but it’s a league of its own. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, no solid details about the game’s release date, but it’s coming sometime this year. </p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/trials-of-mana/" title="Trials Of Mana Nintendo Switch">Trials Of Mana</a></h2>

<p>The Seiken Densetsu games are making a comeback this year and among them comes a full-fledged remake of its 1995 classic. </p>

<p>Obviously a step forward compared to last year’s Secret of Mana, where the controls are abysmal at most and not to mention its lack of Quality of Life changes. Square Enix learned a lot from it. Trials of Mana, now rebuilt from the ground-up, feels like a brand new entry. Especially with its polished visuals and an overhauled gameplay. </p>

<p>The story remains unchanged. You as a chosen hero of Mana save its fallen world from a dark threat. It’s pretty much your typical JRPG plot, and believe me, it was amazing back then. Fans of this SNES gem will be delighted that this title is a step in the right direction, considering the Mana series had a very rough time over the last couple of decades. Coming this Early 2020.</p>


<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/shin-megami-tensei-v/" title="Shin Megami Tensei Nintendo Switch">Shin Megami Tensei V</a></h2>

<p>It’s been a while since we’ve seen another SMT title. Unlike its spin-off, Persona, this one is a true role-playing game from start to finish. </p>

<p>That means you don’t spend most of your day going to school, picking up waifus or enjoy that slice of life. SMT is ATLUS at its most mature. Still set in modern-day Tokyo, you assume control of a protagonist with the ability to control and interact with demons. It’s your primary source of powers, just like Pokemon. </p>

<p>With these demons at your disposal, use them as weapons to fight and save Tokyo from impending doom.  However, details are still pretty scarce. The dudes at ATLUS are still pretty busy from milking other Persona games. No release date yet. </p>


<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-outer-worlds/" title="The Outer Worlds Nintendo Switch">The Outer Worlds</a></h2>

<p>Thank god for Obsidian. Fallout did suffer… a fallout recently, but that doesn’t mean the New Vegas creators are gonna follow their footsteps. </p>
<p>
The Outer Worlds is somehow the answer to the lack of great first person RPG’s lately. Taking place outside of our crazy Solar System, embark on an even crazier adventure as you make tough choices in its outrageous planetary mayhem.</p>

<p>It’s still an Obsidian game. Create your own character and immerse yourself in its deep narrative. You could even choose to play as the bad guy or the good guy. The possibilities are literally endless. But unfortunately, no release date yet. </p>

Top 10 Upcoming Nintendo Switch Roleplaying Games of 2019, 2020 & Beyond

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/annapurna-interactive/">Annapurna Interactive</a>, a known publisher responsible for successful Indie games such as What Remains of Edith Finch, Florence, and Gone Home shows its support to the Nintendo Switch by releasing limited edition physical copies of two of their latest award-winning games: <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/gorogoa/">Gorogoa</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/donut-county/">Donut County</a>.</p> 
<p>Gorogoa, considered as one of the best-looking games of 2017, is a true work of art. Players can bask with the games’ meticulously crafted illustrations and puzzles. It tells a beautiful story with painstaking detail layered around its emotional backdrop. Its physical edition comes with a “Traditions of the Scattered Path” booklet which includes all of the games’ original art.</p> 

<p>Donut County, however, is the complete opposite of Gorogoa. To commemorate the Switch’s success, this silly, yet adorable puzzle game is also coming its way to Nintendo’s hybrid console. Players follow the mischievous adventures of the residents in Donut County after being threatened by a mysterious sentient hole. The bonus content for this limited release includes a sweet Trashopedia Sticker Collection.</p> 

<p>Both games racked up a number of awards, so it goes without saying that they are not mere indie titles. Orders are expected to ship this early 2020. For more information, check out <a href="https://www.iam8bit.com/">iam8bit.com</a>.</p>

Two of Annapurna Interactive’s vibrant titles makes its way to the Nintendo Switch. 

Donut County and Gorogoa gets a Limited Edition Physical Release for the Nintendo Switch 

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/hello-games/">Hello Games</a>’ procedurally generated sci-fi playground sure had a rocky start, but NMS creator Sean Murray and his small team of passionate developers completely shifts the backlash after releasing numerous free major updates that turned <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/no-mans-sky/">No Man’s Sky</a> into what it’s supposed to be.</p> 

<p>After their recent ‘variety update’ called Visions way back November 2018, the team has been working very hard for their ‘biggest’ content drop ever, Beyond. It consists of three major pillars that are much-needed in the game.</p> 

<p>BEYOND’s first pillar focuses on improving the game’s growing community by introducing an overhauled Online Multiplayer. Players are no longer limited to 4-player adventures, BEYOND is rumored to have 14-16 players into one server, making every Galactic adventure worthwhile and lively. To bring these players together, they introduced the Nexus, an online-hub where players can gather into one place beyond space and time and travel to their universes.</p> 

<p>One of the game’s biggest changes is the second pillar which its Virtual Reality support. It’s a radical new feature that can change the way players experience No Man’s Sky with just a touch of a button. Simply don that VR gear, PSVR or not, and bask in the brilliance of an infinite universe.</p> 

<p>But Hello Games aren’t stopping there, yet. BEYOND’s third and final pillar enhances the single-player experience. Players can now tame and mount procedurally generated faunas, ship scaling is more balanced (players are actually tiny now), and other unannounced changes.</p>

<p>BEYOND’s Patch Notes are coming and it will go into detail about the game’s ‘big and small’ changes. </p>

<p>No Man’s Sky: Beyond releases on August 14, 2019 on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.</p>
