The new game Deathloop from the Dishonored makers revolves around two rival assassins trapped on an island in an eternal duel. After each death, they wake up again and the fight starts all over.

F.I.S.T.
F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow Torch – The game with the battle bunny has a release
F.I.S.T. is a 2.5D platformer in which you play a rabbit. That sounds lame at first, but since the long-eared rabbit can slip into various mech exoskeletons, some good action is guaranteed. In the new trailer, the Chinese developers not only showed new gameplay, but also revealed the release date: Fist will be released on 7 September 2021.

In this co-op survival action role-playing game, you have to save the world from the impending Ragnarok together with up to nine other players. Not only do you have to kill heaps of Norse mythical creatures such as ice giants, but crafting, base building and collecting materials also play a major role.
Hunter’s Arena: Legends
Hunter’s Arena: Legends – Battle Royale Modes Trailer
Hunter’s Arena: Legends is a Battle Royale in the ancient Far East setting. The focus here is clearly on close combat with swords, spears and clubs. As the trailer shows, the numerous cosmetic options can also turn the weapons into rubber ducks and disco balls. The game will be released on Steam on 15 July and is 50 percent off until 23 July. PlayStation Plus subscribers get the title for free – so thanks to crossplay, there should always be enough opponents available.

Jett: The Far Shore
In Jett: The Far Shore, you play an interstellar pioneer in search of a new home for her new civilisation.
