Saints Row reboot announced
Saints Row action is coming soon! Developer Volition has announced a reboot for Saints Row, which is set to be playable on 25 February 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. While the franchise is extremely popular, the new trailer has been met with a lot of disapproval from fans so far. The main reason seems to be that the game is very different from its predecessors, especially in terms of character design.

Halo Infinite with free multiplayer
There are few video game series as prestigious as Halo. The latest part now has a release date: From 8 December, it’s on to the world of the Master Chief on the Xbox. Microsoft decided to make the multiplayer mode free. However, the single-player campaign must be paid for. In addition, a version of the Xbox Series X and two gamepads in the Halo design were shown.
Call of Duty: Vanguard gives insight into campaign
The newest CoD part is currently one of the hottest topics in the scene. At gamescom there was a first glimpse of the campaign of the shooter. The gameplay presentation lasts just under ten minutes, in which the soldier Polina Petrova fights her way through a Nazi-occupied Stalingrad. As the battle comes to a climax, the presentation jumps back in time an hour. There was still a peaceful atmosphere in the city until the Nazis launched their devastating attack. Most striking are the many climbing elements and other small gameplay scenes.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns revealed
Fans of the superhero genre can look forward to a new Marvel game. The role-playing game Midnight Suns brings together characters such as the Midnight Sons, X-Men and Avengers. Players can create their own superhero called The Hunter and fight against Lilith, the mother of all demons. The title is scheduled for release in March 2022 for all major platforms.
