Cult hits Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami are both coming to PC, as Sega revealed just now exclusively at the PC Gaming Show. Yakuza 0 is coming to PC on August 1st, and Kiwami is coming later in the year. It’s the first time Yakuza has come to PC in any form, and hopefully bodes well for the many other entries in the series. Yakuza 0 is coming first (it’s already up on Steam), and is available to pre-order from today. Look for loads more words on Yakuza in the coming weeks—particularly from PC Gamer

First announced at Tennocon 2017, The Sacrifice is the next major chapter in Warframe’s surprisingly awesome story, and it promises some major revelations to boot. It’s also believed that The Sacrifice will tie into powerful new Umbra variants of Warframes, which are expected to be similar to the already existing (and often far more powerful) Prime variants. We don’t know what else The Sacrifice will hold beyond that, but at least the wait is nearly over. Digital Extremes’ fan convention, Tennoc

Third-person action detective game The Sinking City made an appearance at The PC Gaming Show today with an ultra-creepy new cinematic trailer—watch that above. The Sinking City is a Lovecraft-inspired adventure set in ’20s America. It’s got an open world, but the devs are most excited for their open investigation system, which’ll see us hunting down clues without checklists or quest markers. The Sinking City doesn’t yet have a release date. We’ll have the full segment from the PC Gaming Show pos

Hunt: Showdown, our favorite game of E3 2017 , is getting a nice package of new items, including an awful new monster. Just announced at the PC Gaming Show, here’s everything the impending update includes:The vintage crossbow: It’s a crossbow! Nothing too surprising, but skilled, stealthy players will appreciate that it doesn’t alert every monster and enemy player to your position. The hand crossbow: A small version of the vintage crossbow, but categorized as a pistol. The Water Devil: Hunt is g

Stardock, the studio responsible for Sins of a Solar Empire and Ashes of the Singularity, announced its Star Control reboot way back in 2013. Three years later, Star Control: Origins was officially revealed and, two years after that, new in-game footage was teased at the PC Gaming Show at E3 2018. Observe:Equipped with both hyperspace and solar system travel, Star Control: Origins is a space-flung, open-universe ARPG that bucks Stardock’s typical real-time strategy leanings. And, like any space

One of the most popular Skyrim mods ever, The Forgotten City, is being released as its own game—also called The Forgotten City. The game was announced at the PC Gaming Show today. “Deep underground in an ancient Roman city, a fragmented community lays dead because someone broke a mysterious law,” reads the press release. The original Forgotten City mod was downloaded by over 1.6 million people, and the new Forgotten City will “retain all the elements which made the original beloved,” says develo

PC Gamer: What does gameplay look like minute to minute in Neo Cab? In Neo Cab you’re one of the proletariat who are just riding the line of capitalism. Firewatch works because you go really really deep on these two characters’ lives. In the world of Neo Cab, Lina relies on her Feelgrid and many of her [passengers] wear them, too. Neo Cab doesn’t have a release date yet, but you can follow along with development on the official site.

In March, Coffee Stain Studios revealed Satisfactory—the Goat Simulator and Sanctum developer’s next game, whose brief teaser trailer combined wildlife and workmen. As showcased at today’s PC Gaming Show, we now know Satisfactory is a first-person, single and multiplayer factory-builder that echoes everything from Ark: Survival Evolved to Subnautica, No Man’s Sky and Factorio. Billed as Coffee Stain’s most ambitious project yet, players fill the shoes of an inquisitive engineer sent into space t

At a pre-E3 meeting about The Division 2 I spoke with Ubisoft’s associate creative director Chadi El Zibaoui. Battle Royale?” “Battle royale? But that doesn’t include battle royale.” In an industry increasingly dominated by battle royale, and with new battle royale modes and games being announced nearly every week, it’s honestly a bit refreshing to get confirmation that The Division 2 simply isn’t going there.

At E3, Ubisoft announced that the starter edition of its multiplayer action game For Honor is free to try from now until June 18. More than that, if you download before the 18th you can go ahead and keep it forever. It’s not just a trial, it’s yours. In addition, all other editions of For Honor are discounted by 75% until June 18. So if you’ve never played it, it’s a good time to try.

Dialogue choices and consequences are well-worn territory for RPGs, but it’s new to Assassin’s Creed, and it’s a great fit based on my several hours with the game’s E3 demo. It’s an exciting wrinkle that makes me more engaged with the goings on in an Assassin’s Creed cutscene than I usually am. You’re the descendant of the Spartan king Leonidas, and you carry his spear as a secondary weapon in Odyssey. “When we look at the game, there’s short term, medium term and long term goals,” creative dire

During Ubisoft’s press conference at E3 2018, For Honor creative director Roman Campos-Oriola announced a brand new expansion called Marching Fire. Supposedly its “biggest addition so far,” this update adds four new heroes from the new Chinese-inspired Wulin faction, new story content, and an exciting 4v4 castle siege called Breach. Coming October 16, 2018, Marching Fire’s four new heroes appear to use various Chinese arms like a dao sword and a bo staff. The new 4v4 castle siege mode appears to

We learned last week that The Crew 2’s Year 1 will include three free expansions and 22 new vehicles. It’s open beta you lets you test drive the incoming racer early, and sets off on June 21. As showcased during Ubisoft’s E3 2018 conference, here’s a glimpse of how you’ll start your own story on the open road, the open water and the open sky. The Crew 2 is due on June 29.

Transference, the “mind-bending psycho-thriller” announced at the start of 2016 by Ubisoft and Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision, will be out this fall, Ubi announced during today’s E3 press event. And it won’t just be a VR game, as it was originally announced: Wood and game director Benoit Richer said during the show that it’s also coming to traditional platforms. The game is a first-person exploration adventure about a family struggling with some serious issues, set inside a corrupted simulation cre

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has finally been revealed by Ubisoft at E3. As rumoured for a few weeks, it was confirmed that the game’s set in Ancient Greece. It’s Assassin’s Creed alright. Here’s a gameplay walkthrough:Here’s how the game is summarised: “Write your own epic odyssey and become a legendary Spartan hero. Influence how history unfolds in an ever-changing world shaped by your choices.”

A year on from Beyond Good & Evil 2’s unlikely trailer debut, Ubisoft showed us more of the elusive action role-player during its E3 2018 conference. A full-on cinematic featured the original game’s Jade, while a short helping of new in-game footage teased life in Ganesha—the game’s sprawling metropolis setting. Here’s a closer look at the city’s bustling marketplace, cavernous temples and wide open skies. Naturally, the latter is best punctuated by dogfights and explosions:I posted this in our

Piracy is dead in the Caribbean, but in Skull & Bones, the pirate game from Ubisoft Singapore, it’s alive and thriving in the Indian Ocean. A cinematic trailer for the game at Ubisoft’s E3 press conference sets the tone, but the real meat is in the gameplay video above. The gameplay video shows off a variety of ship customizations, from different cannons and weapons to cosmetics like the figurehead of your ship. There’s definitely ship boarding, though the video skips past whether there’s any th

We got our first look at The Division 2 during Microsoft’s E3 presser, but we finally learned exactly what’s changing at Ubisoft’s. A new cinematic trailer debuted, showing the poor state of affairs in D.C. including a deer rotting in flooded sewage. But, for those concerned with how The Division 2 will play, Creative Director Julian Gerighty filled us in on some new details. Washington DC is 20% bigger than Manhattan from The Division 1, and features much more variety than the narrow streets of
