This game was originally revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live last August and marks the first time a title in the popular Gujian series will be available in Western markets.
Everyone already knew Star Wars: Zero Company would be at Summer Game Fest on Friday to show off a new gameplay trailer. However, a leak from Dealabs user Billbil-Kun revealed some key details about the game’s release date online.
Edward Kenway acknowledges the risks of privateering, stating that any worthwhile endeavor would naturally be dangerous. He relies on the daring spirit of his crew and commits to a perilous undertaking. Despite the excitement of naval battles and revelry, a feeling of inescapable doom hangs over them all.
The trailer largely focuses on the darker side of the racing world, with numerous antagonists warning the main character to back down. These warnings are mixed with exciting gameplay clips showcasing the high-speed action, particularly several scenes of pod racing.
The story unfolds in a fresh city, attracting fighters from all walks of life eager to compete. One fighter is caught up in trouble with the Chinese mafia and is forced to fight for his life, even ending up in battles within restaurants. Luckily, he’s rescued by a seasoned Pai Chan fighter, a familiar face from past games.
The world in this game is dark and desperate, with humanity struggling against terrifying alien creatures. Humans rely on powerful mech suits for defense, but even those are challenged by these monsters. You play as The Pilot, a legendary fighter whose skills are immediately apparent – the trailer quickly showcases their incredible abilities, and you’re stepping into a role with a lot to live up to.
The trailer immediately highlighted the popular mount system from Guild Wars 2. It seems Guild Wars 3 will also emphasize collecting mounts, offering players a variety of unique creatures to ride. Beyond showing mounts and a character running up a mountain, the trailer didn’t reveal much about how the game will actually play.
At the very least, this game is a stunning example of Remedy Entertainment’s talent for creating immersive environments. You’ll explore the stark, brutalist hallways of the Oldest House, which open up into bizarre and unbelievable cityscapes. Expect to find many bodies – likely victims of the mysterious Hiss – and be prepared to face aggressive new enemies who won’t hesitate to attack.
The upcoming story is likely inspired by the comic book series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, which came out between 2020 and 2022. The comics take place in a bleak future where the Foot Clan has conquered New York City. Only one Turtle remains – the Last Ronin – and he’s on a mission to avenge his brothers by defeating Shredder’s grandson.
Paramount Games Studio is a new company formed by combining Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. They’re continuing work on games already in development, including Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and a Star Wars title. Today, Paramount Games Studio also announced they will be publishing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a game many thought had been cancelled. Fortunately, it’s still happening, developed by Platinum Games and published by the new studio.
