We present to your attention the most significant of them, according to the editors of the virtual reality portal.
Mortal Kombat 11
NetherRealm announced Mortal Kombat 11 and showed the world their first trailer for the legendary fighting game, or rather, its eleventh part.
The video shows a bloody massacre between the thunder god Raiden and the yellow ninja Scorpion. The video is cinematic, without showing real gameplay, accompanied by a track by a popular rapper. But we have a release date - April 23, 2019.
RANGE 2
Bethesda Softworks showed the open post-apocalyptic world of the action movie RAGE 2. The action will impress gamers with vast expanses, a bunch of different locations and risky races in the spirit of Mad Max. The FPS will go on sale on May 14, 2019. The novelty will be released on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Dragon Age
Like us and We wrote earlier, continuation of the fantasy series Dragon Age BE! True, the developers gave a minimum of information.
At the end, a voice-over is heard: “So you finally found me. I guess you have questions". DA fans have already put forward the theory that it belongs to Solas - the ex-party member of the Inquisitor, one mention of which is a fat spoiler. The veracity of the guess is confirmed by the hashtag that flashed at the end.
Anthem
EA and BioWare have released new details about the role-playing MMO shooter Anthem. For example, the game will have a story and colorful characters - contrary to the fears of gamers. In the video, the authors told a little about the world, history, and even showed one of the antagonists. And you don’t need more: we already know almost everything about the fantastic action movie. It is being developed on Frostbite, the company's main engine, still published by EA, and the release date for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is still February 22, 2019.
Far Cry: New Dawn
Teaser Far Cry: New Dawn Ubisoft declassified a few hours before TGA. And it caused a lot of excitement. The scene is the state of Montana, which suffered from a nuclear disaster in the finale of the fifth part. The scenery is classic post-apocalyptic. The antagonists are colorful twin sisters with sadistic tendencies. Decline in morals, armored buggy races, dwellings made of rot and sticks, country music and a faithful dog - everything we love. New Dawn will release on PC, PlayStation and Xbox One on February 15, 2019.
Journey to the Savage Planet
Not so long ago, former employees of Ubisoft founded the Typhoon Games studio, taking ex-employees of WB Games and Eidos into it. The team has already debuted with Journey to the Savage Planet. Little is known about the work, the authors got off with only a small teaser and hinted that they are not gluing a "royal battle" and not just another survival simulator. The adventure will unfold on a wild, deserted planet. The protagonist is a member of an expedition that went to a new world, which seems to have crashed. That's all. Gameplay is promised soon.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
And a couple of words about the former Ubisoft game designers. While the company is fulfilling the plan for additions to the Greek Assassin's Creed, the "father" of the series, Patrice Desile, is hard at work on his Odyssey. At TGA, the developer presented a new trailer for Ancestors, a non-trivial action game about the earliest human ancestors. The player will control a great ape who is trying to survive and save his cub from inevitable death. An Ancestors release date has yet to be announced. However, it will definitely be an Xbox exclusive.
The Outer Worlds
Distinguished at TGA 2018 and the creators of the original Fallout. Meet The Outer Worlds, a space RPG for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the debut trailer, the developers immediately talked about the plot and the world of new items. We will play for a person who has been in suspended animation for a long time. The hero woke up in a certain colony far from the Earth - consider it "space frontier". The authors assure that we are in for an adventure in the spirit of an old-school RPG: a large open world, several factions, many tasks and difficult decisions with consequences. The Outer Worlds is slated for release in 2019.
