As there seem to be many threads about news on particular games, but not many people comment on them, let's gather all future bits of information in one place!

 

Have you seen a breathtaking trailer, heard about your favourite game getting sequel after 10 years, know about some spicy love triangle in the industry? Post all the info you can in this thread!

 

 

Boring rules:

• use [spoiler][/spoiler] tags for big images and trailers
• write the title of your news using bigger font size (like 24 or 36; 48 might be a bit too much for long titles; bolding is fine too) - makes it easier to notice what your post is about.
• you can comment on posted news, but if something calls for a bigger discussion, feel free to make a separate thread for it

Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension to be out on August 31
You are a God! You are master and ruler of a loyal nation. You have unimaginable powers at your disposal. You have claimed this world as yours. But there are others who stand in your way. You must defeat and destroy these pretenders. Only then can you ascend to godhood and become the new Pantokrator.

When you start the game you decide what kind of god you are and how your DOMINION affects your lands and followers. It is an expression of your divine might and the faith of your followers. If your dominion dies, so do you. Your dominion also inspires your sacred warriors and gives them powers derived from your dominion.

In order to win and become the one true god you have to defeat your enemies one of three different ways: conquer their lands, extinguish their dominion or claim the Thrones of Ascension.

Dominions is a turn based strategy game with a unique setting that draws inspiration from historical nations, cultures and myths rather than traditional fantasy clichés.

This horror game will be released soon (dec 2015) for the pc. It is still on development, and can be found here too.

 

What attracts me aside of a promising premise (lol) and that our monster looks very very awesome, aside of other aspects I would like to mention, but, Michiru Yamane is coming back making soundtracks!! She is gonna make the soundtracks for this game!!!

If you do not know her, she is the one and only that has made the Castlevania series (the last one she made though was for all the DS titles) and part of Skullgirls!
