This Week In New Releases (May Week 2) | TheGamer – TheGamer

Sci-fi and space are the themes for this week, with many new releases offering a chance to travel to corrupt futuristic worlds.

This week is seeing the release of a number of indie titles with a few professional published games, one of which taps into '90s FPS nostalgia.

Ion Fury was developed by Voidpoint and 3D Realms, the minds behind titles like Duke Nukem 3D, Prey (2006), and Max Payne. The game is an FPS utilizing the classic Build Engine that was used in Duke Nukem 3D and sends the player on a mission to fight cybernetically enhanced super soldiers operating with a transhumanist cult. The game was released last year, but is now getting ported to the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

VirtuaVerse is a point and click adventure game set in a dystopian cyberpunk world. The player will step into the shoes of a smuggler living off the AI-based grid as he investigates where his missing girlfriend went. It will be released exclusively for the PC.

Deep Rock Galactic is finally leaving Early Access and fully releasing for the PC and Xbox One. Up to four players can join together to explore caves to gather precious metals, clear out nests of aliens, collect eggs, and more. The game features procedurally generated caves that are fully destructible. It looks to have done very well in Early Access and fans seem excited this indie title is finally getting a full release.

Oddworld: Munchs Oddysee is getting ported to the Nintendo Switch. This classic platformer was originally released for the Xbox in 2001. Featuring bizarre characters and the iconic Abe, players embark on a quirky quest to protect various races from being experimented on.
