Sega and Platinum Games announce Anarchy Reigns

By Ryan Fleming January 28, 2011

Platinum Games is on something of a roll at the moment. While their last two games, Bayonetta and Vanquish were only moderate hits in terms of sales, both were well received by critics and fans, both won a handful of Game of the Year awards, and as a result the developer has something of a swagger going on. It hopes to build on that with its next title, Anarchy Reigns.

Published by Sega, the new title will be a fresh take on the brawler genre, combined with a heavy emphasis on the multiplayer aspect. The game promises several multiplayer modes with game types ranging from tag team battles, battle royals, and free-for-alls.

The trailer below is more style than details, but expect to hear more about this game in the coming months.

Macs have always been hit-or-miss when it comes to gaming. Until just a few years ago, it was always a gamble as to whether a game would come to this operating system, and most of the time, thingsdidn't pay off. However, at WWDC 2022, Apple committed to starting "a new day" for Mac gaming, with a focus on on two new features to make the platform better. These features are MetalFX, an upscaling program, and the Fast Resource Loading API, which will decrease game loading times.

With these new advancements, more and more games will be coming to Mac, bringing with them a new group of gamers looking for something to play. It doesn't matter what kind of Mac gamer you are -- there's something for you. That includes AAA blockbusters like Shadow of the Tomb Raider, methodical shooters like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and indie darlings like Stardew Valley. Apple fans may not have access to every Windows game and Steam game, but you'll still find many of the best PC games below.
