The very good Zelda-like Tunicalready available on Xbox Game Pass, will land on PS4 and PS5 on September 27, 2022.

Still among independent productions, we note RollerDrome, a little surprise that makes you want to. With its tunes of Jet Set Radio mixed with John Wick Hex, the title will offer players to put on rollerblades and do acrobatic tricks while knocking out anything that moves with his pair of guns. Promising, to check August 16, 2022.

In effect, the excellent Marvel Spider-man From Insomniac Games will finally land on PC in its remastered version! We suspect that as for the PC version of God of War, the title will offer many graphic options to satisfy all configurations. The release date is set for August 12, 2022.

Regarding AAA games, Sony created a surprise with The Callisto Protocola brand new horror action game that seems to draw its inspiration from dead space.

Imagine a Dating Sim, a dating simulator, mixed with an action game? This is the unexpected formula of EterNights, a JRPG expected for 2023.

The other big announcement, we owe it to Capcom with the highly anticipated Street Fighter 6! Ryu, Chun-Li and the other fighters come back to happily put on the face in a rather impressive CGI trailer. The game will also use the editor’s in-house graphics enginethe RE Engine, which players have seen in action on RE Village and Devil May Cry 5.

New for the franchise, the game will feature a full single-player story mode which will allow you to fulfill your own destiny in the Street Fighter universe. As to Battle Hubit is like a gigantic multiplayer hub where players can come together to fight online, but also chat or train. SF 6 is expected in 2023.
