<p>Skullbot Games had brought us fun titles like Wildstar and City of Heroes, and now they’ve unveiled their next action beat-em-up, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/gone-viral">Gone Viral</a>.</p>

<p>Check out the trailer:</p>

</div>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Gone Viral explores a mutant post-apocalypse society that so glorifies violence and social media that the ultimate hybrid of the two has become the cornerstone of their entertainment – the most brutal game show ever devised. Gone Viral puts the player in the shoes of a “contestant” on that gameshow who has been captured and is forced to fight for their life – and for likes.
</div>

<p>In Gone Viral, you have the chance to become a “Social Murdia Star” and amass a following in the game as well as IRL; apparently you can hook up the game to Twitch (via the Blood Stream), and it lets you invite viewers and they can participate while you play to either help or make things harder for you.</p>

<p>It’s very interesting that the marketing should use the word “mutants” since this game looks to be inspired by the X-Men arc concerning the Mojoverse where members of the X-Men are transported into an alternate dimension where they’re forced to fight for the death for ratings. You’ll even notice that the character has something resembling Wolverine claws at some point in the trailer.
</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/gone-viral">Gone Viral</a> will be available for Steam Early Access on Sept. 24 for $19.99. Find more games in our list of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/upcoming">Upcoming PC Games.</a></p>

<p>GamesCom 2020 had just come out with some big reveals, and during IGN’s presentation of Awesome Indies, we got a look at Clover Bite’s upcoming soulslike sidescroller <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/grime">GRIME</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="1045" height="597" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l5ag6jVnqtI" 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>Destroy... Absorb... Grow... GRIME is a fast and unforgiving Action-Adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate form and function, and then consume their remains with a black hole to strengthen your vessel as you break apart a world of anatomical horror and intrigue.</p>

<p>An unusual material collapses in on itself, the world shudders and contracts, and suddenly you are squeezed into existence. What awaits you is a world unknown, alien in its own familiarity, and you must survive what terrors you face. Explore your surreal surroundings, absorb the many enemies you encounter, and use their own traits against them as you let yourself become far more than you once were.</p>
</div>

<p>Soulslike games are usually reserved for 3D platformers but old-school gamers will know the real challenge that you could get with these sidescrolling action games—hence the metroidvania subgenre (named after Metroid and Castlevania).</p> 

<p>The aesthetics of GRIMEseem influenced by Dark Souls: the larger than life bosses and crazy power ups harken back to the more classic Metroid games. Just like those titles, you also get to power up and improve your hero based on your play-style.
</p>

<p>While this is admittedly just a short look at GRIME, hopefully we get to see more of Clover Bite’s highly anticipated title before the year ends. We also hope we don’t have to wait too long into next year before we can get our hands on the game.</p>

<p>An official release date has not been announced for GRIME, but it is set to be available sometime in 2021.</p>

New Trailer for Grime Reveals a Dark Souls-Like Sidescroller

<p>Back when Lucasfilm was promoting the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it looked like the movie was going to release alongside the much-awaited reboot for LEGO Star Wars. We haven’t gotten any significant updates since then, but now we have a fill trailer giving us a great look at the game.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">

<div class="direct-quote">Play through all nine Star Wars™ saga films in a brand-new LEGO video game unlike any other. Experience fun-filled adventures, whimsical humor, and the freedom to fully immerse yourself in the LEGO Star Wars universe like never before.</div>

<p>While the game does look fantastic, it also comes with the announcement that it has been delayed to the spring of 2021. We don’t know the reason for the delay, but it’s possible that the devs want to take time to polish the title up for next gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.</p>

<p>Though LEGO games are kind of dime-a-dozen nowadays, the Star Wars titles remain to be one of the most beloved among fans. These came out back in the early 2000s for the PS2 and Xbox, and they were pretty fun, including a lot of material from the films as well as some neat Easter Eggs. With TROS completing the story of the Skywalkers, it’s the perfect opportunity for LEGO to update the game for a new generation of fans.</p>

<p>LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga becomes available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga">PS4</a>, PS5, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga">Xbox One</a>, Xbox Series X, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga">Switch</<a> in the spring of 2021.</p>

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Gets New Trailer; Delayed to 2021

<p>While <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cd-projekt-red">CD Projekt Red</a> is busy polishing up the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/cyberpunk-2077">Cybperunk 2077</a>, branch developer Spokko is bringing us back to the world of The Witcher with their new mobile game.
Check out the announce trailer for The Witcher: Monster Slayer</p>

<p>Slayer:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TJONQYsru1c" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>


<div class="direct-quote">The Witcher: Monster Slayer is a location-based augmented-reality RPG that challenges you to become a professional monster hunter. Venture out into the world around you and use your mobile device to track witcher-world monsters that roam close-by. Track these monsters and prepare for combat using time of day, weather conditions, and your witcher knowledge to gain an advantage on your quest to becoming an elite monster slayer.</div>

<p>While we don’t get any specifics on gameplay, it actually looks just like Pokemon GO, but rather than capture monsters, you have to slay them. What’s more, they aren’t cute and cuddly, but rather horrific and monstrous.</p>

<p>A lot of countries are still in quarantine thanks to COVID-19 and some fans are unsure about a game that’s going to encourage you to go outside. Hopefully by the time this game launches, we’ll be a lot closer to how things were before the pandemic.</p>

<p>Besides monster hunting, some fans are wondering if Monster Slayer has some elements brought in from the actual Witcher game—particularly the option to challenge other players for a round of Gwent.</p> 

<p>We don’t know exactly what’s in store yet, but Spokko needs to add some more gimmicks so as not to make this game more than just ‘Scary Pokemon GO’</p>

<p>No release date has been set for The Witcher: Monster Slayer, but it will be available for iOS and Android.</p>

Spokko is bringing us back to the world of The Witcher with their new mobile game.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer Announced for Mobile

<p>NetherRealm Studios has successfully updated the Mortal Kombat franchise with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/mortal-kombat-11">Mortal Kombat 11</a> (MK 11), and are now gearing up for three new cosmetic packs.</p>

<p>After the announcement of the Summer Heat Skin Pack with skins for Baraka, Kitana, and Erron Black, we now have the Klassic Femme Fatale Skin Pack which gives us new appearances (or rather classic) appearances for Kitana, Jade, and Skarlet.</p>

<p>Check them out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="895" height="503" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FYMdzWNjWAI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>While you could say that only Jade and Kitana are the real “klassic” characters in the pack, the intention with Skarlet always seemed like she was supposed to be the red variation of the Kitana character model. It’s actually pretty impressive how much they were able to make her stand out when it came to MK 11; you would think that she was a completely new face that came to the game.</p>

<p>For now, the Femme Fetale Skin Pack is the second of three upcoming packs. The next skin pack is the All Hallows’ Eve Skin Pack which is set to come out later on Oct. 8—just in time for Halloween. We don’t know which characters are getting new appearances, but hopefully we get the reveal sometime next month.</p>

<p>As it stands, the three upcoming skin packs will be exclusively free for Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath owners. If you’re not too keen on getting the DLC though, there are multiple other skins which you can purchase independently in their own bundles.</p>

<p>Mortal Kombat 11 is now playable for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/mortal-kombat-11">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/mortal-kombat-11">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/mortal-kombat-11">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/mortal-kombat-11">Nintendo Switch</a>.</p>

We now have the Klassic Femme Fatale Skin Pack which gives us new "Klassic" appearances for Kitana, Jade, and Skarlet.

<p>News had come out months ago that Daedalic Entertainment was working on a Lord of the Rings game, but rather than controlling rangers or heroes of Middle-Earth, you’ll be playing as the fantasy world equivalent of a meth addict, Gollum. Just in, we have the first teaser for the game, and it gives us a new take on JRR Tolkien’s fantasy epic, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">Lord of the Rings: Gollum</a>.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
	<iframe width="895" height="503" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tFYCR1G2n9k" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>Talking to <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/gollum-lord-of-the-rings-game-prince-of-persia-stealth-branching-narrative-exclusive-trailer">IGN</a>, lead game designer Martin Wilkes confirmed that this will be an action-platformer. He says:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">“If you want a reference you might think of it as similar to Prince Of Persia. It is mostly a non-combat game, but Gollum will be able to stealthily take out enemies. However, this will not be easy and always come with big risks. We want players to carefully weigh these encounters. After all, Gollum’s strengths lie in cunning not combat.”</div>

<p>Since you won’t be able to use weapons, the game allows players the option to meddle with the environment and distract enemies with throwables and other special abilities.</p>

<p>What’s more, players will actually be able to switch between the personas of Smeagol and Gollum and this will affect the gameplay and how the story progresses.</p>

<img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/content/pasted-image-0-(7).jpg" alt="Still from Lord of the Rings: Gollum">

<p>There is also a promise of meeting some familiar faces from Lord of the Rings, but I would be fine if they didn’t rely too much on the fanservice. I just want to see this new take on Tolkien’s world and see how they can make this fantasy villain somewhat like a hero.</p>

<p>No release date has been set for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, but it is expected to come out in 2021 for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">PC</a>, PS4, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">PS5</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">Xbox Series X</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum">Switch</a>.</p>

<p>Rocksteady may not be working on an Arkham title anymore, but the upcoming <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/gotham-knights">Gotham Knights</a> of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/wb-games-montreal">WB Games Montreal</a> may just be the next best thing. Thanks to DC FanDome, we have a full trailer plus some gameplay footage of one of the most teased games of the year.</p>

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Batman is dead. It is now up to the Batman Family - Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood and Robin - to protect Gotham City, bring hope to its citizens, discipline to its cops, and fear to its criminals. You must evolve into the new Dark Knight and save Gotham from chaos.</div>

<p>Here’s gameplay:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">

</div>

<p>It looks like the Gotham Knights is going to play out like the Arkham games, only this time, you won’t be controlling Batman but his group of capable protégées.</p> 

<p>It’s interesting how they’ve managed to split Batman’s abilities among four characters, and at the same time give each hero—Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood—some unique abilities of their own. For some reason, I keep getting reminded of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though.</p>

<p>Besides that, we get a teaser for the game’s much awaited villains, the Court of Owls. Granted we’re still getting some other Bat-baddies, like Mr. Freeze, but a lot of hype has been building up for the Court ever since this game was speculated on years ago.
</p>

<p>After their release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/call-of-duty-black-ops-4/">Call of Duty: Black Ops 4</a> back in 2018, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/treyarch/">Treyarch</a> is teaming up with Raven Software to bring us this year’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">Call of Duty  Black Ops: Cold War</a>. Just in, we have a new reveal trailer and though it has no gameplay, it does set the tone for this era in history that the game will explore.</p>

<p>Check it out:</p>

<div class="video-reponsive">

</div>

<p>all of Duty  Black Ops: Cold War is actually based on real historical events and it focuses on this spy who has been codenamed “Perseus.” In actual history, Perseus was said to be a KGB spy who had infiltrated the Manhattan Project during World War II and it was believed that Perseus had stolen nuclear secrets for the Soviets.</p>

<p>We don’t know if you’re going to be playing the part of Perseus or Perseus is the main villain; but it’s likely we’ll have all these questions answered when we get the official reveal later in the month.</p>

<p>With Black Ops 4 leaving out the single player to focus more on multiplayer, I think Cold War is going to get back to its roots and give us a solid history-based shooter. Then again, I wouldn’t put it past the devs to add another wacky zombie mode to the game.</p>

<p>No release date has been announced for Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War, but seeing the pattern with previous titles, it’s likely it could come out this November on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/call-of-duty-2020/">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">Xbox Series X</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">PS5</a>.</p>

<p>While people still enjoy single player games, there have been efforts to bring multiplayer to titles like The Last of Us and Uncharted. Co-op has finally come to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ghost-of-tsushima/">Ghost of Tsushima</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sucker-punch-productions/"> and Sucker Punch just announced it with a new trailer.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Introducing Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a new cooperative multiplayer* experience inspired by Japanese folk tales and mythology. Choose from one of four classes -- Samurai, Hunter, Ronin, or Assassin – and play with friends or via online matchmaking in a series of two-player story missions or four-player wave-based survival missions.</div>

<p>This mode will be available free for anyone who already owns the game. With the main game mostly focused on a more realistic story, it looks like Legends is going to be embracing the myths and folklore from Feudal Japan. The visuals from the trailer also promise a more surreal world.</p>

<p>If anything, I don’t think this game mode will have any impact on the main campaign with Jin Sakai. While I’m not expecting a whole campaign, I think Legends will be telling its own story, albeit something a lot shorter and easier to digest with a group of friends you’re playing with.</p>

<p>Ghost of Tsushima: Legends will be free for GoT owners this fall. The core game Ghost of Tsushima is now available for PlayStation 4.</p>

<p>While zombie games are almost always shooters, 2009’s Zombie Driver gave players a unique way of taking out the dead with weaponized murder cars.</p> 

<p>Now, Zombie Driver Immortal Edition has arrived, a remaster which will be available across three generations of PlayStation.</p>

<p>Check it out:<

<div class="video-responsive">

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Insane mix of cars, speed, explosions, blood, and zombies! Fight through an epic narrative campaign or test yourself in the Slaughter and Blood Race modes. Engage huge bosses, save survivors, drive crazy vehicles such as a bulldozer, fire truck or even a tank and smash everything in your way. Take part in the Blood Race tournament - chase other cars and take them down without mercy on brutal racing tracks. Jump into the Slaughter mode and survive as long as possible on specially crafted arenas.</div>

<p>If you’ve already purchased Zombie Driver HD for the PS3 through PlayStation Plus, you can actually get this Immortal Edition for free. What’s more, if you buy it now for the PS4, you’ll still be able to access it for the PS5; pretty great counting that it’s only one purchase.</p>

<p>With the zombie genre usually reserved for shooters and platformers, Zombie Driver manages to bring something new (yet familiar) to the table. The gameplay looks closer to those classic retro shooters that you can find in arcades, only this time, you go up against zombies rather than enemy planes or aliens.</p>

<p>Zombie Driver Immortal Edition is now available for the PS4.</p>

Zombie Driver Immortal Edition is a remaster that's now available across three generations of PlayStation.
