"Intergalactic: The heretic project"

The creators of "The last of us", Naughty Dog, are working on their first new game series in a decade. In "Intergalactic: The heretic project", it's space that matters, and the studio has already worked on the project for four years, which was showcased in a

. The player takes control of a bounty hunter who lands on a mysterious planet that no one has left in 600 years. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (Nine inch nails) are responsible for the music, and Kumail Nanjiani ("Silicon valley", "Eternals") also appears in the trailer.

"The witcher 4"

"The witcher 4" was officially unveiled for the first time in a meaty trailer. Instead of Geralt, it's Ciri who takes on the role of protagonist. Behind the popular fantasy series, which also exists as a TV series, is Polish CD Projekt Red, which last made "Cyberpunk 2077". When that game was released, it contained numerous bugs and shortcomings, something the studio promises not to repeat this time, according to IGN.

"Elden ring: Nightreign"

The highly acclaimed action-adventure "Elden ring" and its add-on "Shadow of the erdtree" will be joined next year. In "Nightreign", a standalone title, players will once again face massive monsters in a richly detailed fantasy world. This time, however, it will only be multiplayer mode – both with and against other players – on locations that, judging by the trailer, seem to come from both "Elden ring" and "Dark souls".

"Split fiction"

Swedish Hazelight, led by Josef Fares,

"Split fiction", which, like the company's previous success "It takes two", is a cooperative game for two players. "It takes two" was awarded Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2021, so "Split fiction" has a lot to live up to. Players take on the roles of two authors who get stuck in each other's stories. The release date is March 6.

Sequel to "Okami"

After nearly 20 years, the very Japanese adventure is getting a proper sequel. "Okami" was released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and was praised by critics, primarily for its graphical style, which imitated traditional brush painting. Hideki Kamiya, the creative lead back then, is also making the sequel, which has not yet received an official title.
