The twilight of May and introduction of June sees an interesting variety of games this week, including the return of a legendary fighter, the emergence of a new intergalactic VR experience, and a heart-wrenching tale of survival.
Here’s what you can expect to arrive this week, 29 May – 2 June 2017:
Tekken 7
Release date: 2 June 2017 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
Tekken 7 is the next iteration of Bandai Namco’s famed 3D fighting series, bringing back veterans from the King of Iron Fist tournament alongside some spiffy-looking newcomers – including Kazumi Mishima, Kazuya’s mother who can perform literal tiger uppercuts with her beast companion. Expect plenty of heavy-hitting animations, devastating ground bounce combos, and bizarre backdrops. Yip, Tekken is back.
Developed specifically for VR, Star Trek: Bridge Crew will immerse you in the Star Trek universe, allowing players to explore a largely uncharted sector of space known as The Trench with your friends on board of the USS Aegis. In co-op, you can form a crew of four players to serve in the roles of Captain, Helm, Tactical or Engineer in the Star Trek universe.
The Walking Dead: A Telltale Series – A New Frontier – Episode 5
Release date: 30 May 2017 (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Mobile)
Telltale’s current season for The Walking Dead, A New Frontier, wraps up this week with the release of the fifth episode. Telltale said previously that the fifth episode, titled From the Gallows, is “the most tailored episode to date,” referring to the fact that it’ll build upon all of your choices from the previous four episodes.
