Presumably still riding high from the successful launch of its Silent Hill 2 remake, which sold over one million copies in its first week, Bloober Team has announced a new sci-fi survival horror game. Cronos: The New Dawn is an all-new horror experience from a studio with a great grasp of the genre. (Its past titles speak for themselves —…
Dance could be considered an underrated form of artistic expression, so it is great to see it featured in video games. Dance has the power to heal. Mentari was announced today; it is an action-adventure game with a dance-based combat system. In its world, dancers are seen as second-class citizens.…

Major shoutout for Ubisoft for its accessibility efforts for this Ubisoft Forward!

It’s the second highlight article of the day, this time focusing on what came immediately after the Guerrilla Collective Showcase – its Publisher Spotlights.
