The Rogue Prince of Persia

Platform: PC

While we still have the good taste that Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown left in our mouths, Ubisoft returns to the fray with a new adventure in this iconic franchise. With The Rogue Prince of Persia, the French multinational wants to experiment, and not only because the game adopts the structure of the very fashionable roguelites, but also because it will be the first title that Ubisoft will launch in early access format. For now only for PC.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II

Platforms: PC and Xbox Series

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II was announced in the now distant 2019 and since then this wild action adventure has been one of the big bets of Microsoft’s video game division. The first part, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, was published in 2017 and surprised with its premise, the story of a young Celtic woman who suffers from schizophrenia at a time when there was great ignorance about this mental illness.

Pampas & Selene – The Maze of Demons

Platform: PC

It is not the game that will make the most noise, but it is one of the most special. Pampas & Selene is the new project of creator Francisco Téllez de Meneses, author of titles such as Unepic, Ghost 1.0 or UnMetal. Although his new project was published last year for the MSX 8-bit computer – yes, a new game for MSX today – this May it will finally be released for PC. This action and platform adventure with a gaming feel from the 80s is inspired by one of the great classics of that system, the remembered Maze of Galious from the Japanese company Konami.

Paper Mario: The ancient door

Platform: nintendo switch

This update of the game originally published in 2004 will update the visual aspect of the game, but will maintain the essence of this GameCube classic. Paper Mario is a sub-saga of the Nintendo character that replaces the usual action of its adventures with slower development, turn-based combat and a great sense of humor.

World of Goo 2

Platforms: PC and Nintendo Switch

One of the big surprises of the last edition of The Game Awards was this sequel to one of the titles that started the indie gaming boom in 2008. This sequel will once again challenge players to use liquid creatures full of life to Build bridges, grow towers, terraform terrain and power flying machines. Although as already happened in the original title, there will surely be something more than what meets the eye.
