Tom Clancy’s The Division is Ubisoft’s highly anticipated third person open-world multiplayer RPG shooter set in the streets of New York, in a world that’s turned to a chaotic post-apocalypric landscape after the release of a deadly weaponized virus.

It’s a fantastic looking game, capable of jaw dropping levels of fidelity thanks to the SnowDrop engine that it’s utilising. Tom Clancy’s The Division has suffered a few delays in it’s development, but after the buggy mess that was Assassins Creed Unity, Ubisoft will be keen not to let this one out the gate until it’s truly ready.

The Tom Clancy’s The Division Beta starts in December and the beta sign-up page is now live for PC, PS4 and XB1, so players will finally be able to experience this great looking social shooter.

Titan Souls is one of the indie games in development that were unveiled during Sonys E3 conference, now known to be coming to PS4, Vita, PC and Mac. It’s a very tough, pixel art action adventure game that tasks you with taking down a variety of large Shadow Of the Colossus-style titans, armed only with a single arrow.

Needless to say it’s a very tough game, you’ll need to learn the titans attack patterns and use perfect timing to make your arrow hit the mark. The pixel art graphical style is excellent, with the game playing like a super hard, one-hit-kill 2D Shadow of the Colossus. Combat is a pretty tense affair, leaving you extremely vulnerable during the time it takes firing and retrieving your arrow.

The new gameplay footage revealed at E3 looks excellent, promising lots more Titans and building on the original Prototype that was created for Ludlum Dare #28, with the combat retaining it’s simple yet extremely tough nature (with a major change being that you can fire in more than 4 directions). The Prototype is well worth checking out, it can be completed in under 20 minutes, but due to the amount of times you’ll die it’s likely to take much longer!

The Witcher Adventure Game isn’t actually an adventure game, more of a board game really, a video game of a board game based on a video game based on a series of books to be precise.

The Witcher Adventure Game takes players on a journey across the world of The Witcher as they assume the roles of four beloved characters from the books and computer games: Geralt of Rivia, monster slayer; Dandelion, roguish bard; Triss Merigold, cunning sorceress; and Yarpen Zigrin, dwarven warrior.

You’ll be able to take part in a variety of quests, invite players to hunt monsters, earn gold on dangerous missions, and interact with the characters they meet in a web of alliances and treachery.

It will offer a single-player mode, but the beta will be multiplayer only. Anyone can sign up, but if you pre-order The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt through GOG you’ll also receive 2 keys granting access to the Beta. It’s a good looking game, allowing you to return to the world of The Witcher, and explore it in a very different way than we’ve been accustomed to.

Fable Legends is a 5 player asymmetric multiplayer game coming to Xbox One, similar to Evolve, where 4 players work together to defeat one all powerful villain.

Based on the Fable series, and in production by Lionhead Studios, you’ll return once again to the land of Albion. You can play the whole game in single player if you wish, with three computer controlled allies, or co-operatively with 3 friends, with the ability to switch easily between single player and multiplayer whenever you decide. During a quest, you can elect to battle a human villain or an AI villain.

Fable has always presented opportunities for mischief and villainy, and in Fable Legends you’re able to play the bad guy as never before. The Villain player takes control of the many creatures, minions, traps, and environmental hazards that Heroes must overcome. When those Heroes enter an area, you’ll choose which minions are sent into battle and where to place these creatures to maximize their effectiveness. Once the fight begins, you issue the orders for your creatures to execute: telling them where to go, which Hero to attack, and what abilities to use to ensure your evil plans come to fruition.

If the trailer is anything to go by it’s going to be a very good looking game, with fun combat and a nice selection of creatures to beat up/command. The 5 player multiplayer is particularly exciting, playing the hero looks like fun, but playing as a villainous dungeon master sounds wicked.
