A VARIED AND ANTICIPATED LINE-UP

THREE GAMES PLAYABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Once again this year, Bigben Week gave visitors the chance to try out the preview versions of several games.
Among these were the eagerly-awaited RoboCop: Rogue City, presented for the first time by Teyon’s developers, and Gangs of Sherwood, the cooperative action game revisiting the legend of Robin Hood.
Introducing a wackier game world, ruled by zombies, Eko Software showcased its creation ParadiZe Project, a game straddling the hack’n slash and survival genres and out for release at the end of this year on consoles and PC.

FOUR NEWLY ANNOUNCED GAMES:

• Asterix & Obelix: Heroes is an RP-based collectable cards game, featuring the world of the indomitable Gauls. Developed by Jumpgate AB, the game will be available on all platforms in September 2023.
• Off-road racing will come to the fore this year, with Overpass 2. The racing and route-plotting simulator developed by Neopica is set to return to consoles and PC on October 19, 2023.
• Both developed by the Tivola studio, Wildshade: Unicorn Champions and Animal Hospital are games that appeal to kids and families. The first is a unicorn-mounted racing game set in a make-believe world, while in the second players take on the role of a vet for both real and fantasy pets. Both games are due for release on consoles and PC in Fall 2023.
  
  

A NEW VERSION PLAYABLE FOR 6 OTHER TITLES IN THE CATALOG

Though both are set during World War One, that is the only point they have in common. Ad Infinitum, the psychological horror game by the Hekate studio, and the strategy and survival game War Hospital, are each presenting a new playable version. They are out for release on September 14 and August 31 respectively, on PC and consoles.
More sports-inclined gamers need not feel left out, with the chance to try out the freshly announced new DLC for Session: Skate Sim, and the new cycling games versions Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023, which offer more strategic gameplay, updated routes, and all of this year’s teams and riders.
Finally, on the eve of its official release, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum^TM is another game to feature heavily, where players take control of Gollum’s quest for the Precious. Daedalic’s teams have made the trip to showcase the game in its final version.
