Metal Gear Survive
Metal Gear Survive: A month ago we told you about Metal Gear Survive, a new entry in the saga that takes place in a parallel universe after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. As can be seen in the video, it is a cooperative multiplayer game with zombies as the main enemies. In the video, you can see a team of human soldiers who must use stealth to infiltrate and defend a position against the hordes of the undead. They have various devices and weapons to use to their advantage, whether to distract or eliminate enemies. Metal Gear Survive is being developed by Konami and will be available on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game does not have a concrete release date but it is expected to arrive sometime in 2017.
NieR:Automata
NieR:Automata: After the disappointing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, PlatinumGames returns with the sequel to NieR. NieR:Automata is an action role-playing game, being a spin-off of the Drakengard series. The story takes place in the midst of a power war between the machines created by invaders from another world and the human resistance on Earth that takes refuge on the Moon. The protagonist is 2B and her partner 9S, two androids from the resistance side who must fight against the forces of the invading machines. NieR:Automata is being developed by PlatinumGames and will be available on Windows and PlayStation 4 starting February 23, 2017 in Japan.
Nioh
Nioh: Team Ninja was inspired by the Dark Souls series when developing Nioh. The game follows the story of William Adams, a samurai who begins his crusade against demons during Japan's Edo period in 1600. Combat takes place in real time and features various types of weapons, such as katanas, spears, axes, bows, and the Tanegashima, an ancient firearm that is a predecessor of the musket. The difficulty will be on par with the Souls series mainly due to its semi-realistic combat, where you can die very quickly if you are not careful. Nioh is being developed by Team Ninja and will be available exclusively on PlayStation 4 starting February 9, 2017.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard: The second “tape” of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard revealed a bit more about what the main character is experiencing in the horrifying Baker house. The story takes place after the events of Resident Evil 6 and features a new protagonist named Ethan. This character is searching for his missing wife, which leads him to enter a mansion: the home of the Baker family. The adventure unfolds from a first-person perspective where Ethan will have access to various weapons when fighting, as well as having to solve different puzzles throughout the game. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is being developed by Capcom and will be available on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One starting January 24, 2017.
Tekken 7
Tekken 7: The King of Iron Fist is challenged by a well-known fighter from the Street Fighter world. Thus begins this trailer of Tekken 7, where Heihachi Mishima and Akuma face off in a spectacular battle. But what is Akuma's role? Apparently, this character is in debt to Kazumi Mishima under unknown circumstances, who promised him that he would kill Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima. Tekken 7 is being developed by Bandai Namco Studios and will be available on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game does not have a concrete release date but is expected to arrive in early 2017.
