The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan – ‘The Anthology Begins’ trailer
Ahead of the release of the first game, Man of Medan, on the 30th of August, check out the newly released trailer teasing at the urban legends behind each game in the Dark Pictures Anthology.
The first urban legend, the story that the Man of Medan is based upon, is of the SS Urang Medan, a Dutch Freighter disappearing in 1947, with all crew reported dead. Man of Medan makes its own interpretation of those events that players can unveil throughout the game.
Saitama enters the battle in new gameplay trailer for One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows
The latest trailer shown off at Gamescom displays One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows’ Free Battle Mode where players will fight in teams of up to 3 characters. The goal will be to defeat each enemy combatant, whilst selecting the right character at the right time to stand as the victor.
In order to harness Saitama’s insane strength, the game will also introduce a unique concept in this mode – The Hero Arrival System.
Players will have to meet a number of criteria if they want to play as the strongest hero. In order to make Saitama selectable, they will need to choose two fighters first. When the fight begins Saitama’s team will have to survive until his arrival despite the numerical disadvantage. Combos or perfect guards will remove time on the counter. When the Caped Baldy finally enters battle, one punch should be enough to pacify any situation!
Three additional characters have also been confirmed to be part of the final roster, respectively 2nd, 3rd and 4th of the S-class ranking:
· Terrible Tornado: An Esper wielding psychic powers capable of crushing displays of power.
· Silverfang: Beneath his old man appearance lies a seasoned martial art expert.
· Atomic Samurai: He is regarded as Earth’s best swordmaster and one of the strongest heroes, even within the S-rank class.

Also released is the latest trailer for SWORD ART ONLINE Alicization Lycoris featuring the original heroine created specifically for the game – Medina Orthinanos.
TOKYO GHOUL:re CALL to EXIST confirmed to launch on the 15th of November for PlayStation 4 and PC
Based off the popular horror manga, TOKYO GHOUL: re CALL to EXIST is the first video game of the franchise to come to the west, uniting the characters from TOKYO GHOUL, TOKYO GHOUL √A, and TOKYO GHOUL:re.
Looking at all this is fairly overwhelming. If you’re a fan of anime you would have to be very excited. Seeing a Tokyo Ghoul game make its way to the West is exciting but even though Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot seems to be garnering a lot of excitement I am one of the fans who was hoping for something different. Bandai Namco Entertainment definitely wanted to show off their products at Gamescom, and in my opinion, though I don’t find many of these titles particularly engaging, they brought something for their fans.
