Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is set five years after the original, following Cal on his continued quest for survival as one of the last Jedi in the galaxy being hunted down by the Empire. We can expect new force powers, better combat, and a darker story when this sci-fi adventure finally arrives.
The newest game from Arkane Austin is a brand new and very exciting concept. Set in an open world called Redfall, this will be a co-op-focused shooter where players are let loose on an island infested with vampires. The sun has been blocked out, making you, a human, constantly in danger in a sort of 30 Days of Night-style scenario. Using a suite of guns, magic, and anti-vampire tech, you and your squad need to survive against the bloodthirsty hunters.
