It’s the calm before next week’s new release storm. As alluded to a few weeks ago, November is quieter than usual, and this week is evidence of that. Xbox Wire seems to believe Terminator 2D: No Fate is due this week, but they’re just behind the times – it has had a revised mid-December release date for a while now.
Anyway, it isn’t as if there’s nothing imminent. Rolling back to last week, Total Chaos made a surprise debut, being an evolution of a first-person horror tracible to a classic DOOM WAD. Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake also crept out of the fog and onto the Xbox Store, with a deep launch discount to boot. An altogether horror experience is CloverPit, based around a sinister slot machine. The PC version was an overnight hit.
Then from Giants, publishers of the Farming Simulator series, comes the realistic pro motorsport racer Project Motor Racing, featuring real-life lap times to beat, 70 vehicles, and online play with no paywall. If you prefer racers far less serious, there’s Street Racer Collection from QUByte, which features the SNES, MD, PC and Game Boy entries. Long time fans are already lamenting the lack of the PS1 and Saturn versions, with the latter allegedly being the best.
After releasing on PC some time ago, KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 comes to consoles, offering four player support and a Humans vs Spiders PvP mode. The promising A.I.L.A meanwhile is a first-person adventure set in the near future, in which you play as a game tester faced with rogue AI.
We can also expect Arc System Works’ treasure collecting Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons, an expanded re-release of 2020’s Bee Simulator subtitled The Hive, the PSVR2 crowd pleasing Shadowgate VR: The Mines of Mythrok, eastasiasoft’s latest shooter Schildmaid MX – which is coming to retail on Switch – and Kemco’s dungeon crawler Dragon Ruins II.
Lastly, five new Evercade carts are due, including Rare, NeoGeo, Llamasoft, and Activision collections. It’s like a certain seasonal holiday has come early.
