Although not due out until next year, the newest game in the Deus Ex franchise has been gaining a lot of attention thanks to its visual look and graphic appeal. The gameplay combines futuristic weaponry with mechanical augmentations that give the augmented superhuman powers. The new trailer released highlights some of the possibilities.

Developer Eidos has released the first example of that gameplay style that combines those elements. The story takes place in 2027, 25 years before the events of the original Deus Ex. You play as Adam Jensen, a private security officer working for a company that specializes in mechanical augmentations. An attack leaves him wounded and in need of augmentation.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is due out on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in February 2011.

Hollow Knight: Silksong: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

Hollow Knight Silksong

The original Hollow Knight was first released in 2017 and was immediately recognized as one of the most impressive entries in the Metroidvania genre, indie or not. The immaculate hand-drawn art style made even the dank, drab world full of bugs known as Hollownest a truly endearing place to explore. Combined with the tight platforming controls, light Soulslike elements, satisfying upgrades, and cryptic story, Hollow Knight soared to the top of many critics' and players' favorite games lists.

Team Cherry, the three-person team behind Hollow Knight, didn't stop there. The team continued working on the game for the following year with four pieces of DLC that expanded the game's world and added new enemies, bosses, quests, and game modes. Initially planned as yet another piece of DLC, Hollow Knight: Silksong, originally called Hornet, became so large that Team Cherry decided to make it a full sequel. The development of this new entry has been as mysterious as the world it is set in, with many important questions still shrouded in darkness. As we wait for our next dive into the world of bugs, here's everything we know about Hollow Knight: Silksong.

2XKO: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

Two characters pose in 2XKO key art.

After spending years under the working title of Project L, Riot Games' expansion into the fighting game genre has officially been dubbed 2XKO. Hailing from the makers of the massively popular League of Legends, this fighter will feature a cast pulled right from that MOBA, but now using far different mechanics. This genre was once notorious for how hard it was for newcomers to get into, but recent examples like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 have proven that it is possible to make the genre accessible to more players. Considering the popularity of the source material here, and the fact that it will be free to play, we expect a lot of players who normally don't touch fighters to at least be curious. Whoever you are, let's start at round one and go over everything we know so far about 2XKO.
Release date window

Along with the reveal of the title's full name, we also learned that 2XKO is set to arrive sometime in 2025. That leaves a lot of room, so odds are the team is giving itself plenty of time to iron out any issues.
