The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Nintendo hasn’t launched a brand-new Zelda game since 2017, so with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom right around the corner, many fans are eager for its release.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will release on the Nintendo Switch on May 12th this year, giving gamers another chance to play as Link. 

In this action-adventure game, you’ll work your way through the sprawling landscapes of Hyrule and the mysterious islands floating in the skies above to fight the evil forces that threaten the kingdom.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

From the developers of the Friday the 13th game comes The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and fans of the cult-classic movie will be eager to play as the infamous Leatherface. 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is set to release on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One|X|S and PC on August 8th and is said to be an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game based on the 1974 film. One team will play as the victims trying to escape to freedom, while the other group will play as the murderous Slaughter family trying to hunt them down, making this a 4v3 style game.

While the victims have an advantage with one extra player, it’s the Slaughter family that comes equipped with chainsaws. Will you have what it takes to survive?
