Upcoming PC Games

Dead Island 2 - launching Feb 2023
Los Angeles is in quarantine, and the military has retreated. Only you, and the handful of others who happen to be resistant to the pathogen, hold the future of the city (and humanity) in the balance. You can fully customize the abilities of each of the Slayers, with the skill system allowing you to re-spec instantly. Combat delivers the most intense, visceral and gory first-person experience possible, with plenty of weapons and tactical (and brutal) options to chew your way through the zombie horde. 

Pre-purchase Dead Island 2 now on the Epic Games Store. 
 

The Callisto Protocol - Dec 2, 2022
Clarification: We originally suggested a February 12, 2023 release date for The Callisto Protocol. It was an error, and we're happy to clarify that the game is currently scheduled for a December 2, 2022 release.
Body horror meets survival horror in one of the most hostile, isolated environments in the universe: Black Iron Prison on the moon of Callisto. In the midst of a mysterious outbreak that’s turning the inmates into vicious, mangled creatures, players will fight hand-to-hand against the grotesque opponents. It’s a brutal place where having limbs hacked off will only slow them down, and the environments can help or hurt the player in horrendous fashion. 

Wishlist The Callisto Protocol now on the Epic Games Store. 

Gotham Knights  - Oct 21, 2022It wouldn’t be Halloween without costumes, and the heroes of Gotham Knights play dress-up every night of the week. With Batman dead, it’s left to his family of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin to protect Gotham. The open-world, action RPG is full of crimes to solve, criminals to punch, and iconic Batman villains to battle with. They include Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, The Penguin, and more costumed evil-doers.
