THE EXPANSE: A TELLTALE SERIES


PIKMIN 4 Nintendo’s much-anticipated next game in the Pikmin franchise is finally here, as the Rescue Corps (that’s you and your custom create-a-character) head down on to an unexplored world to rescue the series’ original protagonist Captain Olimar. There are several new missions, quality of life improvements, and new Pikmin thrown into the survival- strategy-puzzle mix alongside the story in the new game, but people mostly just seem to be excited about the new canine companion Oatchi. Which is fair. If he dies, we’re uninstalling.

EPISODE 1 The first episode of Telltale Games and Deck Nine’s dramatic adventure game prequel to the hit television series The Expanse heads out at the end of the month, with subsequent episodes set to come out every two weeks after that. The Expanse: A Telltale Series has Cara Gee reprise her role as Camina Drummer from the popular sci-fi show based on the books of the same name, and the game’s brand-new story will follow her as she scavenges wrecked ships, fights space pirates, and of course, makes those difficult Telltale-style life-or-death choices.

IMMORTALS OF AVEUM The latest release from the Electronic Arts Originals publishing programme (that brought us indie hits like A Way Out and It Takes Two), has its next release this month in Immortals of Aveum, a game from former Dead Space creative director Bret Robbins and Ascendant Studios that looks a bit like a Doctor Strange first-person shooter.


Set in a brand-new fantasy universe, the game follows Jak (not the one of ‘and Daxter’ fame, sadly) and his order of battlemages as they work to prevent the destruction of their planet by throwing lots of gunshot-like spells around.
