If Back 4 Blood didn’t satisfy that co-op itch, worry not – The Anacrusis is out on Xbox One, Xbox Series and Steam this week, offering similar four-player horde culling thrills.
Here, we’re up against aliens and armed with sci-fi weapons, including stasis grenades and energy shields. Intelligent AI controls waves and item placement, promising unique situations each time. The kind you’ll want to tell your friends about, apparently.
Shadow Man: Remastered is down for a 13th Jan release on PS4, while the Switch version is due 17th Jan – next Monday. When we can expect the Xbox One version is hard to say, as there’s no official press release to confirm dates.
This remaster is a deluxe version of sorts, restoring lost content and adding new areas. The Steam version, released last year, went down well with fans of the original.
The Xbox One plays catch-up, gaining the excellent Spelunky 2, cyberpunk thriller Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story and the colourful 3D platformer Super Sami Roll.
Then on both PS4 and Xbox One there’s the competitive RTS Mushroom Wars 2, visual novel Kansei: The Second Turn HD, tactical RPG Battle Brothers, Far Cry 6’s Pagan: Control DLC, and the spiritual avian adventure Aery – Dreamscape. Nothing in common with ‘90s raves, sadly.
Kansei: The Second Turn HD and Aery – Dreamscape are coming to Switch too, along with bealted releases of Nova-111 and Astroneer. Look out for a round-up on Thursday.
