This time, we return to the island as someone looking for a missing billionaire. The first go around, a downed commercial jet left players scrambling to find their son on a peninsula full of mutant cannibals.

Sons of the Forest | February 23rd, 2023 Sons of the Forestĭeveloper: Endnight Games Ltd Publisher: Newnight Platform: PC Whether it’s an undead head or that of the player all depends on one’s aptitude for zombie slaying. If one thing is for certain, it’s that heads will quite literally roll. Like its predecessor, Dead Island 2 emphasizes melee combat and provides players with brutal weaponry enhanced to cause maximum damage. With improved gameplay and the return of welcome mechanics like crafting, Dead Island 2 will suck players into the sea of the undead at the height of a new outbreak. Set in an overrun California, players will go toe-to-toe with the undead, using whatever weapons and tools are at their disposal to split heads. All those years stuck in the creative process seems to have bred a game that’s not only visually stunning but one that promises to expand upon the successes of its predecessor. Hopefully, it is as good as it sounds so we can pull for a Dead Space 2 remake.ĭead Island 2 | February 3rd, 2023 Dead Island 2ĭeveloper: Dambuster Studios Publisher: Deep Silver Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & SĪfter nearly becoming a casualty of development hell, Dead Island 2 is finally coming, and it’s looking to be one of the most exciting, biggest new horror games of 2023. Seeing as how well-executed Dead Space was in 2008, we can only suspect that the remake will be one of the biggest new horror games of 2023. Motive has been releasing developer vlogs showcasing the many improvements made to the original concept, and save for similar character design and the same core story, the remake is looking and sounding like an entirely new experience. All-new sound design, improved visuals, and even an extended story promise to grip players from the opening credits to the final crawl. Motive Studio rebuilt the original Dead Space from the ground up, using modern tech and the Frostbite engine to leave players hesitant to press forward. The Dead Space remake is proving to be the engineer’s deadliest outing yet, despite being a recreation of his introduction to the USG Ishimura. All he wants to do is his job, but pesky necromorphs keep getting in the way.
