Microsoft's Xbox Partner Preview showcase might have an exceptionally rubbish name, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's not worth a watch! Tonight's latest instalment was a pretty decent offering all round that, while not exciting as such, did at least have some interesting reveals. There was first footage of Konami's Metal Gear Sold 3, a new game from PowerWash Simulator developer FuturLab, and more. And if you're looking for a summary of it all that won't take up 30 minutes of your time, then read on.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be continuing the series' tradition of extravagant side activities when it releases on 9th November with an absolutely bonkers looking new addition that'll see players managing an entire tropical island resort in pure Animal Crossing fashion. There's fishing, bug catching, crafting and a whole lot more as detailed in the trailer below.
PowerWash simulator developer FuturLab unveiled its new game Ikaro: Will Not Die, a spiritual successor to the studio's acclaimed Velocity series that promises «satisfying flow-state» rogue-lite action that you can read more about elsewhere.
In the first of several gameplay reveals, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture developer The Chinese Room offered a first proper look at its intriguing narrative-driven first-person horror Still Wakes the Deep. If its spooky North Sea oil rig action you're after then you've come to the right place.
Developer Teyon's RoboCop: Rogue City is, somewhat surprisingly, shaping up to be a pretty good time, as Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell found out recently. And with its 2nd November release almost upon us, we've now been given a fresh look at gameplay, including a face-off against the powerful ED-209.
Another one that caught Chris Tapsell's eye, developer Microbird's Dungeons of Hinterberg — in which players socialise and dungeon-dive in the once-sleepy Austrian mountain resort that gives the game its name — is due out next year, with a day-one Game Pass launch included. Its latest Xbox showcase appearance offered a closer look at the social aspects driving the game, because success in Dungeons of Hinterberg requires more than just a pointy sword.
Spirit of the North 2 was mostly a surprise because I've never heard of Spirit of the North 1, but I am now wiser and admittedly intrigued to learn more about the series' foxy, visually striking adventures. This time around, players take control of a new fox who's partner with a flying companion. There's no release date for Spirit of the North 2, but it's «coming soon».
