The final one for this part is for Deck13, and no it’s not “The Surge 2” or Surge related. It comes out into Stream Early Access in ‘Q2/Q3’ this year so will get to have a taste soon enough. I am very intrigued and having another ironman mode game on the lists is something I’m looking for. “Othercide” (or how I think it should be typed “OthHERcide” as that what the logo goes for,) is a black and while turn based game where you command three ‘daughters’ to fight demons from another dimension to… well the plot is a mystery but as the title alludes to as does the beautiful gothic stylings, and as the website states “ …you decide to sacrifice your Daughter!”. Now, another new developer partner and another small one, Lightbulb Crew. Not a great image to represent it with if it is with all the red but the white mud is pretty representative… I think… Least it seems so, as Mudrunner was announced late last year and they said “ the game will be further unveiled next year, beginning with the What’s Next de Focus press event in Q1 2019.” So tentatively I pin this as “Mudrunner 2”. It just doesn’t gel fully but that’s their next coming game after “World War Z” that just came out. My first guess for what the game is was “Mudrunner 2” but the more I look at the picture I’m not so sure. Next is for a returning partner, Saber Interactive. There’s not much to go on but it being ‘fantasy’ and ‘co-op’ are a given. But mostly dev-me-downs, like “ Dead Island 2” after the previous developer Yager was dropped and “ Crackdown 3” and it’s numerous delays. Since they started in 2001, they have mostly done ports and mobile games but they have had a few big budget games of late. The next panel is for another developer that you may not of head of, Sumo Digital, but they’ve been around for a while. I feel my soul cry out for this one so please be good. There’s still a ways with this one but please be good. The classical sci-fi music is fantastic, going for visceral power over ripping up an organ. Let me say up front, this game looks amazing! Just the first frames put me in the mind of “ Another World” which still looks fantastic and that came out in 1991 so there is high hopes for this one lasting. It’s a beat-em-up with dialogue choices and and a ‘death/sanity system’ as your two personalties fight for control. “ Aeon Must Die” is described as a space opera and a ‘ an existential sci-fi massacre‘ on their website. And one you might not of heard off as this one flew so far under I didn’t (or haven’t as of yet) received any press regarding their game. Next is a new partner for Focus, Limestone Games. Add to that their quick mentioning that ‘Vampyr’ (DONTNOD’s most previous game with Focus and the first of their Focus Home partnership) sold over a million copies, I feel like it safe to guess that the image represents a Vampyr 2 or some other kind of connected sequel. The one detail to get form the image is the words, mainly ‘Expiate’ which mean ‘to make amends through guilt’. The first splash it for their continued relationship with DONTNOD. I’ll do it in parts as I know this will get long: So now on to the new titles, and thankfully Focus made a handy dandy splash image showing something for all of them. On top of those already announced titles, there where presentations but no hands on for “ GreedFall” (Spiders, Releasing 2019)
