Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising (Cloud, Console, and PC) – May 10
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is an action RPG set in the same world as Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that features town-upgrading mechanics, fast-paced combat.
Drawn by lenses and other treasure in the nearby Runebarrows, our heroes learn that the town is struggling to rebuild after an earthquake and decide to help. Along the way, they’ll resolve disputes between eager adventurers and wary locals who don’t think the Barrows should be disturbed. And they’ll learn more about each other’s reasons for seeking treasure, deepening their bonds in the process.
This War of Mine: Final Cut (Cloud, Console, and PC) – May 10
In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.
This War of Mine: Final Cut is the conclusive, remastered edition of the game that contains all the updates and free expansions released so far and introduces not only a new scenario but also expands all scenarios with the locations known from Stories DLCs – even if you don’t own those. In short words – that means you can now experience lots of never-seen-before playthroughs and struggle with new challenges.
NHL 22 (Console) EA Play – May 12
For the first time ever, the legendary Frostbite engine comes to EA SPORTS NHL 22, bringing massive visual upgrades to both current and next generation console games alike. From overhauled player likenesses to all new eye animations that track and react to the action around them, the superstars of the NHL have never felt more alive. Everywhere you look, players can expect upgrades to game physics for new physically-true stick interactions, all new augmented reality game stats that are projected directly onto environmental surfaces, the game changing Superstar X-Factor system, and more.
Superstar X-Factors allow you to unleash unique player abilities that make stars feel like stars where their time on the ice is more influential than ever. Reserved for only the more elite players in the league, Superstar X-Factor abilities separate the best from the rest, and make superstars feel like their real life counterparts.
