Fire up Star-Lord’s jet boots for a wild ride across the cosmos. With the unpredictable Guardians at your side, blast your way from one explosive situation to another, with original and iconic Marvel characters caught in a struggle for the fate of the universe.

A PC and PlayStation exclusive, this title from “NieR: Automata” developers PlatinumGames Inc. boasts fluid co-op-combat, powerful weapons and a unique art style. Expect spectral swords and high-flying action in the title which hasn’t set a date yet.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
Tetsuya Nomura and Kazushige Nojima (“Final Fantasy VII Remake”) and Team NINJA of Koei Tecmo Games are teaming for “Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin”.
Jack and his allies, Ash and Jed, burn with resolve to defeat Chaos as they throw open the gates to the Chaos Shrine. Yet doubts remain – are they truly the Warriors of Light the prophecy foretold?
