The publishing house Nacon, which focuses mainly on the creation of medium-sized titles, organized its own presentation. They showed us some news that they have in store for the coming months and years.
GreedFall II: The Dying World
Studio Spiders was the first to introduce the sequel to its fantasy RPG. In addition to the trailer, in which a bunch of the main protagonists escape from captivity, we learned that the second GreedFall it will first be released in early access on Steam during the summer. It's quite a non-standard procedure for single-player RPGs, but something like Baldur's Gate 3 certainly can't complain about early access. In any case, the full version is expected on PS5 and XSX in addition to PC.
As the subtitle of the game suggests, we will look into a dying world, which is being spread by a kind of infection called Malichor. The story takes place 3 years before the events of the first volume, and the world looked very different at that time. This time, members of the Teer Fradee nation, who were abducted from their home island by the colonists to the continent of Gacane, take the main role.
While in number one the mystery drew us to that island, now we will get to know a larger world. There are four characters in the main role, and the developers are said to have made sure that while playing you do not feel that one of them is the main one and the others are just henchmen. The story will then develop depending on which faction we get together with and how we make decisions.
Welcome to Paradise
If you're not fed up with zombie games, here's another one. Welcome to Paradise was released today. It is a cooperative isometric action that you can engage in with up to four players. In this world, the undead aren't just your enemies. Humans have developed a device that allows them to control the undead. And so you have an auxiliary power to yourself even when playing solo. A zombie can serve as a comrade or even as a means of transport if you put a saddle on it.
Sports shoes
Nacon presented several sports games in a row in one summary video. It's the only one that got its own trailer, and we'll take a look at it first. Studio KT Racing showed a novelty Endurance Motorsport Series. Apart from the nondescript trailer and the slogan “ride like a racer, win as a team” we know little about it. We have to start endurance races until next yearso there's still plenty of time to reveal the details.
From the description of the game, we can read that in addition to the pilot, we will also play the role of team manager in the pits and we will oversee the smooth running of the race from this position as well. It is said that the authors have prepared a system for us, in which it is necessary to have the right strategy prepared for every situation. This includes, for example, weather changes or accidents. We will be able to sit in cars of various classes, including LMP2 and GT.
Other sports titles have already taken it pretty quickly. Cycling fans won't miss out on an officially licensed game this year either Tour de France 24, which comes out on June 6. It is not missing either For Cycling Manager 2024, in which you take on the role of a trainer instead of a competitor and manage the entire stable. You will also be able to start playing from June 6.
The tennis player flashed for a moment Tiebreaker, which has been available in early access on Steam since January. The creators intend to combine everything that worked in their previous games from this sport. But they still have no idea when the full version could be released. But they should be able to do it this year.
Rugby 24 also got its place in the summary video of sportswear, but apart from the short preview, we have to settle for the nondescript Coming Soon. Likewise, we do not yet have more information about motocross MX GP. And we only have skates left for the set Sessionwhich has been out for a long time and has now grown with the Schoolyard DLC.
Crown Wars: The Black Prince
This medieval tactical RPG is out now 14th March. In a world where you can find a little bit of fantasy, knights and bandits go head to head. While two are fighting, a third laughs at them from the shadows. Who is it? You will find out very soon, but first you should prepare for it.
You will become the king of your own domain. You can gradually upgrade your kingdom, greatly increasing the chances of success in future battles. You send your soldiers into turn-based battles, where you have to use both their abilities and the environment in order to have as few losses as possible.
Simulators
Similar to sports, several simulators have also received their own editing, allowing you to try several diverse jobs and activities. He was the first to arrive on the scene Chef Life, which came out already last year. Now every owner of the basic version can activate DLC for free, which will expand your options in the kitchen.
We will try the taxi service in a few days. It comes out on March 7 Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator, in which the task is simple. You need to get your customer to their destination without any problems and make their journey as pleasant as possible. In the next simulator, you can also arrange a car, but it will not be an ordinary car. A release is planned for September Ambulance Lifea paramedic simulator.
Last but not least, we have a completely relaxing affair Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator. You take care of the flowers, water them and plant new ones. You have to take good care of them while they are growing, otherwise all the effort will be in vain. You've been able to play the gardener simulator since last week, but if you want to play on Switch, you'll have to wait until March 14th.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown
In addition to endurance racing, KT Racing has been preparing a continuation of the Test Drive Unlimited series for many years, which was previously very popular as an accessible combination of arcade and simulator in a more open world. Solar Crown was supposed to be released last year, but after a very disappointing gameplay trailer was released, another delay came. And we still don't know when Nacon plans to release it.
In the new trailer, you can at least see footage of driving through the landscape of Hong Kong Island. Several car models were presented and they don't look bad. This time there was no pre-rendered video, everything in the video runs directly in the game engine.
Dragonkin: The Banished
The new product from the Eko Software studio looks very pleasant. Dragonkin: The Banished will show us a world ruined by dragons, in which we will fight enemies alone or in a group of up to four players. Each has a different game class. There are absolute classics – barbarian, witch, knight and archer. In addition to online co-op, Dragonkin will also support local two player play.
In addition to the destruction of the world, the dragons are also responsible for the arrival of evil monsters that do not mate with anyone. But at the same time, they are the source of the heroes' strength. Thanks to drinking dragon blood, we can use powerful abilities that we will develop during the game.
As you complete missions and explore the world, your home town will grow. You can determine which parts will expand first. Through upgrading you will then get to more powerful weapons and equipment. But we'll wait until next Februarybefore we can touch this system.
Terminator Survivors
The announced survival game from the Terminator universe will be released October 24th in Early Access on Steam. So once again, Nacon prefers to rely on cooperation with the community rather than directly releasing a work in progress. We come to a destroyed world four years after doomsday, when we are not even aware that there is any Skynet or terminators. Gradually, as we get to know the world and thanks to other survivors, we will also reveal the story and be able to launch a counterattack.
In Survivors, the player will have a base from which he sets out to explore the open landscape, where he must collect everything useful. You can then use the collected resources to further improve the base. From time to time you will come across other survivors that you can recruit into your resistance. But there can already be more of you in the foundation. It will be possible to play solo or with three other friends.
During the game you will meet characters known from the film. This chapter of the story has never been told yet, so fans of the Terminator world might find Survivors enticing. According to the published materials, it is difficult to estimate what this news could be. However, Nacon has been doing well with FPS games in recent years, so hopefully that will be the case here as well.
