The closed beta was announced to be starting now for Humankind, the historical turn-based strategy game from Amplitude Studios. You can get your hands on it if you pre-order the game on Steam or Epic Games Store. The game officially launches on 17 August 2021.

Trailer with emphasis on Frankie Ward's avatar (the host of the PC Gaming Show):



They Always Run, a side-scrolling cyberpunk space western, lets you play as an alien bounty hunter across the galaxy looking for work. And... you have 3 gun-toting arms which you can use for various things in combat like throwing enemes! The game comes to Steam later this year.

I watched the video and the comments were saying it makes you feel nostalgic - does it? For what exactly? Let me know! 😄



I've seen you guys talk about Orcs Must Die 3 here on the community! It's been a Stadia exclusive for almost a year, and they now announced that it's coming to PC (Steam) and console (PlayStation and Xbox) 23rd July. 😊 It features both solo and co-op play, and the campaign is set 25 years after you defeated (or did you?) the orcs in Orcs Must Die 2.

Vampires: The Masquerade is an upcoming RPG by Big Bad Wolf Studio, launching later this year for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Switch and PC. The game was announced earlier already but they shared some further information during Sunday's event with a new Swansong trailer, focusing on the character Leisha:



Brawling with giant fuzzy monsters while being a giant fuzzy monster! A new trailer debuted at E3 on Sunday. GigaBash is a four-player kaiju 3D arcade-like brawler that looks like a lot of fun! No release date was announced yet so we remain waiting.



Lemnis Gate is a timeloop FPS that just got a release date: 3rd August 2021. The open beta is coming in July! The director explains the timeloop element: "For example, I may run down a hallway and throw a grenade, killing one of your operatives. But then on the next turn, you may intercept my operative before he threw the grenade."



Next Space Rebels - a game that lets you build your own rocket and trying to get it into orbit and win a space race. On a budget. It's releasing this fall for PC but you can add it to your Steam wishlist already.

We were shown a trailer for a gritty mercenary strategy game WarTales, which incorporates exploration, survival, turn-based battles and management of your mercenary company crewmates. The game director said that when they were coming up with the game concept, they wanted to find a blend between classical strategy, a very tactical strategic game as well as RPG where player choice is emphasised. It takes place in a Medieval world. Launching on Steam Early Access later this year.



An upcoming space survival strategy game called Ixion was revealed at E3, made by the guys behind titles such as Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. In the game, the humankind is trying to escape a dying Earth while exploring solar systems and trying to survive. It incorporates city building, survival and exploration elements. Launching 2022 for PC.



FAR: Changing Tides was officially revealed at E3. It will expand on the gorgeous FAR: Lone Sails universe with a completely new story! In the game, you play as a lost character called Toe who has survived in an abandoned ship while searching for answers to what has happened to their home after something horrible happened to make the world nearly inhospitable. The game arrives later this year for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Switch.

The trailer looks amazing!!



Killing Floor 2: Interstellar Insanity looks insane, chaotic and fun! This extra event for Killing Floor 2 is coming 22nd June and brings you to a distant lunar research base to investigate why it's suddenly gone dark.



Lakeburg Legacies is a settlement building game where you work on infrastructure and rules to keep your citizens happy and the population growing in a medieval village. Unlike other city management games, this one adds a layer of love - you help your citizens find each other and get together based on various likes, dislikes and personality traits. I'm a big fan of the old Sim City so will definitely be checking this out when it arrives sometime next year.

We saw a developer interview about MechWarrior 5 and learned that crossplay is now available between Xbox, Steam and GOG through an update after about a year of waiting!
