The Mafia series is taking us back - way back - to 1900s Sicily. 2K Games and Hangar 13 presented Mafia: The Old Country, focusing on the mafia’s origins from Enzo’s point of view, a character navigating the dangerous rise of organized crime.

It will be a prequel that dives into the intrigue, drama, and classic Mafia atmosphere. For Hangar 13, this is also a second chance to win fans back after the divisive Mafia 3. And what better way than by taking players to Southern Italy, the birthplace of the Mafia?

After years and years, Capcom finally answered fans’ prayers by announcing Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The beloved dark fantasy series returns, blending intense sword-based combat, parry mechanics (the iconic Issen), and a narrative inspired by Edo-period folklore.

A Long-Awaited Masterpiece Returns

After 18 years, Okami is back. Hideki Kamiya, known for directing Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, and Okami, returns as a game director under Capcom to deliver this surprising sequel. Okami (2006), despite critical acclaim, struggled commercially, leading to the closure of Clover Studio, the Capcom team behind it. This downfall pushed Kamiya, Shinji Mikami, and other members to leave the company and form PlatinumGames.

Now, seeing Kamiya’s return to direct Okami 2 under Capcom feels almost poetic - a revival of a masterpiece that once marked the end of an era. No release date yet, but after waiting nearly two decades, we can hold a little longer.

A screenshot from Elden Ring: Nightreign showing three players fighting against a massive enemy.

FromSoftware fans weren’t left empty-handed, even thoughElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree didn’t snag any awards. The software house behind Dark Souls announced Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone co-op spin-off allowing up to three players to team up.

After all, unity is strength (and misery loves company). Promising epic battles with friends by your side, the game is set to be released in 2025. It’s another reason to return to the Lands Between - this time with your squad.

Jordan A. Mun in Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

Many were expecting a sequel to The Last of Us, but Naughty Dog surprised us with an entirely new sci-fi IP in development since 2020: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Directed by Neil Druckmann, the game takes us to the mysterious planet of Sempiria.

Bounty hunter Jordan, played by Tati Gabrielle (who will also be Nora inThe Last of Us Season 2), gets stranded here, where communications with the outside universe ceased hundreds of years ago. With a soundtrack by Oscar winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross and stylistic nods to Akira and Cowboy Bebop, this title already looks like something very interesting.

A screenshot from The Witcher 4, featuring Ciri standing in the middle of a crowd.

CD Projekt Red kicked off the event with a bang, unveiling The Witcher 4. The trailer? Basically a short movie, showcasing Unreal Engine’s cutting-edge technology. The twist? Ciri takes center stage, stepping into Geralt’s boots - though he makes his presence felt at the end of the trailer, with Doug Cockle delivering the line: “Time for a new saga. See you on the path”.

Naturally, fan opinions are divided overCiri’s updated design- because when isn’t there drama? But one thing all gamers can agree on: we hope CD Projekt Red does not repeat Cyberpunk 2077’s launch mistakes.
