Take a walk in the shoes of Alex Chen in Life is Strange: True Colors when it launches later this year. The latest in the graphic adventure series is being developed by Deck Nine and will see Chen reunited with her brother after eight years of separation, foster homes, and traumatic experiences.

Deathloop

Developer: Arkane Lyon
Publisher: Bethesda
Release date: September 14, 2021

We got our first proper look at Deathloop gameplay during Sony's Future of Gaming show, and it looks like it's shaping up to deliver some assassinating action with Ground Hog Day vibes. From the developer behind the Dishonored series, Deathloop sees two rival assassins locked in a time loop, with eight targets to eliminate. Colt, one of the assassins, is hellbent on taking out the targets, while Juliana appears to want to protect them from harm. It's one of the upcoming PS5 games that's a timed exclusive, and will eventually launch on PC too.
