Outriders
A brand new shooter IP from People Can Fly, and published by Square Enix, is Outriders.
You play as a member of humanity who has had to flee Earth, and has landed on a planet called Enoch.
But, an immense storm called The Anomaly forces them back into cryostasis.
And yet, when they awake, they all find themselves imbued with ridiculous powers. It’s Mass Effect meets Doom and we are so in.

Halo Infinite
Bearing a curious new sub-header and running on a brand new game engine known as Slipspace, the first Halo Infinite trailer almost seems to suggest that Master Chief’s next adventure will have MMO qualities to it, or at least be more open-ended and sandbox-like in flavour.
That instantly familiar shot of his armour also teases a potential technological downgrade for everyone’s favourite Spartan, though plot details remain threadbare for now.
MMO or otherwise, Halo: Infinite could just be the Halo comeback we’ve all been waiting for.

Ghostwire: Tokyo
As people start evaporating from the neon-lit streets of Toyko, it’s clear that something’s not quite right.
In Ghostwire: Tokyo strange shadowy figures begin patrolling the streets, and terrifying monsters based on Japanese lore and legends.
It’s being made by the same studio that brought you survival horror The Evil Within, which is promising.
Especially as it sounds like it’s filled with paranormal entities, supernatural events, conspiracies, and the occult.
Platform(s): PS5 (timed exclusive), PC
