Playstation 4’s retail release of Metal Wolf Chaos XD, the remaster of a cult classic action game, is now able to be pre-ordered at Gamestop. This is exclusive to Gamestop and will go live on August 20th, 2019. FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively in Japan.

The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan with most fans experience of the game through Let’s Play videos and the occasional screenshot. Devolver Digital and FromSoftware have partnered together with developer General Arcade to modernize Metal Wolf Chaos with updates to the game including upgraded visual fidelity, refined controls and gameplay, a new save system, and 4K + 16:9 support for modern displays.

Metal Wolf Chaos XD features:

  • New and Improved Experience: This 2004 original gets a complete rehaul with improvements to resolution, select textures, and visual effects brought to life in a new widescreen format with 1080p and 4K support, where applicable. Players will also enjoy enhanced gameplay, a new save system, and overall optimization.
  • Over-the-top Combat: Players protect the country unleashing the full power of the legendary Metal Wolf battle mech to fight, defend and destroy everything that gets in the way of victory.
  • Upgradeable Weapons: Develop and upgrade your weapons to carry an arsenal of over 100 different combinations while swapping them out on the fly for a tactical advantage in battle.

Killsquad Now Available in Steam’s Early Access Program

Killsquad is a new co-op action RPG from Novarama, and it’s now available on Steam in Early Access for 19.99. This top-down co-op title is set in a futuristic universe of bounty hunters, known as “Killsquads”, who take on contracts for loot and glory. It will offer session-based gameplay, so the action is fast and intense, so players overcome obstacles quickly, for a big payday. Killsquad introduces a live contract system which players can undertake in real time with other hunters. These contracts allow other players in the Killsquad community to drop in and ride shotgun, enjoying the same experience and grabbing a share of the mission’s rewards.

“Killsquad is a culmination of various ideas we wanted to see in a video game, but also one that delivered the necessary pace of a high octane action game with a combination of progression and customization that players would expect from an action RPG,” said Game Director Dani Sanchez-Crespo. “We’re looking forward to getting players’ feedback and expanding the Killsquad universe with the introduction of more content later this year. See you in The Outer Reach, bounty hunters!”

A new pet designed exclusively for Torchlight II on the Nintendo Switch will be revealed later this summer.
