Become a revenant

Bandai Namco will soon be delivering a post-apocalyptic Japanese role-playing game where players take control of vampiric creatures called “revenants.” Get ready for some bloody action this September.

Contra: Rogue Ops

Everyone knows that Contra is a legendary shoot ’em franchise from Konami. While the company may be more interested in pachinko machines at the moment, it hasn’t stopped it from working on the next step for the franchise. Instead of the regular 2D levels, Contra: Rogue Corps is a top-down 3D shooter. While that may not sound that appealing, early previews say that it’s a lot of fun.

Contra: Rogue Ops should launch on September 24, starting at $40. The game runs at 4K resolution on Xbox One X.

Another installment releases

The EA Sports FIFA series is back for 2020, and this year it brings street soccer to the table alongside the usual professional mode.

The Surge 2 is an upcoming third-person action game along the lines of Dark Souls. However, instead of a fantasy setting, it takes place in industrial corridors and ruined cities. It seems like the story takes place sometime after The Surge because there are nano-cultists and other bizarre characters running amok in Jericho City. All the while, Athena, a woman with whom you have a special connection, leads you through the streets to a destination unknown.

The Surge 2 should launch on September 24, priced at $60. The game features Xbox One X enhancements.
