Consider the newly released Wii U GamePad , which features a built-in touchscreen that can serve as a supplement to games. In first-person shooter games, a second screen lets you access the map or your inventory seamlessly without leaving the game field.
What you can do with a secondary screen is not limited to that, it adds to the gaming experience which is demonstrated wonderfully in this ZombiU gameplay trailer out for an inside view Warning: the video contains gore and violence. Even Microsoft is catching up with the competition with the advent of Xbox SmartGlass. However, unlike the Wii U, SmartGlass is an app that acts as an additional tool for gamers to interact with.

Sony has taken its first step to integrate their Playstation 3 console with their handheld device, PS Vita via the Cross-Play feature , allowing the gamer to stop playing on one device and resume on another device.

Rats will still be a huge problem, but there is more here than just a literal sea of rats to be worried about. Ubisoft and Nintendo's brilliant tactical crossover is back for a second installment. They've got more help this time around, with new faces like Rabbid Rosalina and the titular Sparks hybrids of Super Mario Galaxy's Luma and the Rabbids to assist. The game is also offering players more freedom, both in exploration by opening up the overworld to offer more secrets, free traversal, and more, and in combat by doing away with the grid system in favor of free control within areas of attack.
Fans of survival horror may want to have The Callisto Protocol on their internal motion sensor. Debuting from new studio Striking Distance, the next-gen survival horror game takes place within a maximum security prison on Jupiter's moon, and promises plenty of gruesome alien nightmare fuel.
See, now you're interested. While not a direct adaptation of the Harry Potter books, Hogwarts Legacy is taking all of its inspo straight from the lore. You'll be playing as a student attending Hogwarts during the s, some hundreds of years before Harry and co were born, but no doubt will get up to plenty of wizardy mischief.
It's an open world RPG, so expect plenty to explore too. The dinosaur hunting PC hit is back with a bigger, ballsier sequel that features none other than Vin Diesel both in front and behind of the digital camera.
Goodness knows what that means for the final product… perhaps the dinosaurs were part of our family all along? The long-awaited Avatar game - now officially called Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora - finally got revealed at E3 , and it's in development at Massive Entertainment in collaboration with Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney.

This is a first-person, action-adventure title, with a living and reactive world that's fighting against the formidable RDA forces. Set to arrive sometime in , Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League sees you playing as our squad of chaotic semi-heroes. Squad up as Harley Quinn, King Shark, Deadshot, or Captain Boomerang, with bots or other players taking the role of the other four as you play. Set in the Batman: Arkham universe, Rocksteady has already said this is a continuation of the previous games, so prepare to see some existing threads and storylines come to fruition.
Insomniac is cooking up more Spider-Man goodness, and this time Peter Parker and Mile Morales will join forces to fight someone that sounds suspiciously like Kraven the Hunter in Spider-Man 2. We also got a glimpse of Venom - teased in the last game - in the trailer, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be more of a friend or a foe. The trailer gave us everything you want from a new Spider-Man game, acrobatic combat, webslinging and spandex suits, but now it's double the fun.
During The Game Awards , Remedy officially revealed our very first glimpse of the much-hoped-for sequel, Alan Wake 2. While we didn't get to see all that much of Wake's return other than a very gruesome crime scene and flashes of the protagonist standing in changing environments, Creative director Sam Lake did confirm it will be Remedy's first-ever survival horror game.
We're due to see more of the game in summer Developed by Bokeh Game Studio, trailer opens by saying that Toyama has returned for a "new challenge in horror", From what we've seen, with insect-like creatures and swords made of blood, it certainly looks like we're certainly in for a creepy experience. So far, we've only seen a very brief teaser trailer during The Game Awards , which shows off brief glimpses of the hero's iconic armor before we first see Wonder Woman appear on screen, it is said that "she will fight to unite the warriors of two worlds.
We do know that it served up an absolutely kick-ass teaser trailer for its reveal, featuring our favorite clawed grump sat at a bar in the aftermath of a brawl, trying to enjoy a whisky. He's rudely interrupted, and that's when those famous talons make their appearance. We don't even get to see his face in the short snippet, but we're excited anyway.
If you missed it the first time around, the game is set over 4, years before the Skywalker saga. It's a time when the Jedi and the Sith are at war. Your job is to help stop Darth Malak as he and his Sith armada threaten the Galactic Republic, finding companions and exploring planets like Dantooine, Tatooine, and Kashyyyk along the way.
From sunset skies to the grassy fields, what we've seen of Season so far in the official trailer looks absolutely gorgeous. Following a young woman who leaves a secluded community to explore the world for the first time, you go on a road trip on your bicycle, drawing, photographing, documenting, and recording the life around you. Set to immersive you in a variety of different societies in its "surreal version of the mid-twentieth century, where thousands of years have passed without any progress," Season's atmospheric setting and focus on exploration adds to its appeal.
Revealed with a cheeky piss-take out of most game trailers, The Outer Worlds 2 is coming. While info on the game is scarce for now, developer Obsidian says the title will deliver a "new solar system, new crew, same outer worlds".
Forza developer Playground Games is making a hard pivot into RPG territory with the next iteration of Xbox's Fable series, which hasn't seen a mainline entry since 's Fable 3. Developed exclusively for Xbox Series X and S, Fable 4 will utilise the enhanced power of the next-generation hardware for a more magical escape into the fantasy of Albion.
Just… don't expect to be speeding around its medieval towns in a Bugatti The next major project from BioWare after the disastrous Anthem, Dragon Age 4 will continue the story left off by 's Dragon Age: Inquisition, positioning former companion Solas as the upcoming RPG's central antagonist.
We know little else about the game beyond this, but you can expect plenty of tactical combat, NPC chatter, and - yes - dragon hunting. In addition to Dragon Age 4, BioWare has also confirmed its returning to the final frontier with a new entry in its long-running Mass Effect series. A brief teaser trailer released at the end of was all that was needed to get us excited, showing the return of a fan favourite character in Liara, who appears older and wiser than the last time we saw her, and is seemingly on the hunt for Commander Shephard's ship, the Normandy.
What could it all mean? BioWare's staying quiet for now, but we're already preparing for launch. We've long wondered what Microsoft's newly established first-party The Initiative has been up to for the last few years - turns out the answer was more exciting than any of us could have expected. Resurrecting Rare's cult classic franchise for the next-generation, Perfect Dark could be the next killer exclusive for Microsoft's Xbox family, though we're yet to see anything beyond the intriguing cinematic which debuted in Here's hoping the studio doesn't remain in the dark for much longer.
Sidebar is back with another RPG about sports Just like Golf Story, Sports Story lets you get up to a variety of different shenanigans as well as a healthy dose of sports.
You can explore dungeons, go fishing, and much more besides. Instead of just playing golf though, you can play all sorts of different sports such as tennis, hockey, football, and baseball. With lots of fun sporty antics and adventuring to be had, Sports Story looks like another entertaining pixelated delight. Sea of Thieves isn't the only open-world pirate game out there - Ubisoft's Skull and Bones is also setting sail, with a much more realistic take on pirate battles on the high seas.
But the real focus looks to be player-versus-player ship skirmishes online, where each player controls their very own warship in team-based fleet battles.
There will also be supernatural elements amidst all the cannon-fire, like the colossal tentacles of a terrifying kraken lurking in the deep. Everwild is a new IP from Rare exclusively for Xbox One that has already caught our attention thanks to its wonderful art style and enchanting world. We really don't know much about this new adventure yet, but the mystery surrounding it just makes it all the more tantalising. Set in a "natural and magical world," Everwild promises to take us on an unforgettable experience.
From the trailer that debuted at X, it's certainly shaping up to be one to keep an eye on. We can hardly wait to find out more about Everwild's world and the many creatures that appear to inhabit it.
This is an RPG with survival elements involved, and quite the little sense of humour. It's set in a Victorian-esque era, where you're tasked with discovering - and fighting - a range of bizarre monsters. It looks like quite the romp. Team Cherry is bringing us another Hollow Knight adventure with Silksong. This time we follow the journey of Princess Hornet - protector of the Hollownest - who's been captured and taken to a strange and distant world.
With over new foes and new moves to master, you'll get to explore new towns, complete quests, and try out new tools in this unfamiliar kingdom. The interconnected world Team Cherry has brought to life in its beautiful hand-crafted 2D style is filled with a variety of different vistas that all look absolutely gorgeous, and with so many new features and foes to encounter, Silksong is one jam-packed sequel to watch out for.
From the clues hidden in the trailer, it looks like we're looking at an Indy story set in , with our whip-touting hero exploring the standing stones and stone circles of Italy. From the hints, it may even be that we're looking at the story involving a lost race of giant cyclops too. Now, apart from that, details are quite scarce - beyond that it'll run on Massive's own Snowdrop engine.
We imagine it'll take plenty of DNA from Massive's The Division titles, so expect a game focused on photorealism with an action-adventure focus and added RPG elements when it does arrive.
It's clearly in very stages of development though, so don't hold your breath for more info on this one any time soon. Contraband is a brand new co-op game coming from Avalanche Studios - the team behind Just Cause.
It's set in the fictional world of s Bayan, and will be quite the smuggler's paradise. Not much is known about the game yet, but the studio says it is "pushing the boundaries with the next generation of [its] Apex Engine" for the title.
