As a place where fans and developers can come together to play the hottest and most exciting games, PAX has traditionally been a fun event for those who want to see what sort of games the year has to offer. It’s also a great opportunity for newcomers and die-hard fans alike to check out what’s new and hang out with other like-minded folks who want to celebrate their favorite hobby. During PAX East 2018 in Boston, U.S., GameSpot got to check out some of the most interesting games on display–most of which are coming out much sooner than you think.
We’ve pulled together some of the most noteworthy games we saw during our time exploring the show floor of PAX East. Featuring titles from Annapurna Interactive, Surprise Attack Games, Nintendo, and some other noteworthy titles from the Indie Mega Booth, these upcoming releases left a big impression on us during the hustle and bustle of the East Coast’s biggest gaming convention. Here are 19 games coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch that are expected to release this year or in early 2019.
For more games to keep an eye out for, be sure to check out our gallery of noteworthy games from GDC 2018, which includes some notable picks like Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, Mothergunship, and the extremely weird Untitled Goose Game.
SEGA is bringing the first Valkyria Chronicles game to Nintendo Switch.
The company shared the news during its annual SEGA FES event in Japan, and relayed the information in a post on Twitter. The game will be released for Switch in Japan this fall on the eShop. The Switch version will include all of the DLC, just like the remastered version for PS4, Gematsu reports.
There’s currently no word on when/if the first Valkyria Chronicles will be released for Switch outside of Japan.
We’re coming up on the halfway point of the month, which means two of April’s free Games with Gold will be going back to their regular price. Time’s running out to grab them for free, so make sure to hit that download button before the sun sets on April 15.
On Xbox One, the holdover from March’s Games With Gold is Superhot, the inventive shooter in which time only moves when your character moves. It’s still available for free through April 15. Over on Xbox 360, Cars 2 will go back to its regular price the same day. As a reminder, you can play all Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One, thanks to the magic of backwards compatibility.
Though it’s a bummer to see those two games go, we can look forward to downloading two new free games starting April 16. And they’re particularly great games, too. On Xbox One, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate joins Games with Gold; it will be free until May 15. The Xbox 360 game going free on April 16 is the fantastic horror shooter Dead Space 2. It will be free through April 30, and will also be playable on Xbox One. Also, The Witness is free throughout all of April.
You can find the full list of April’s free Games with Gold below. And if you’re looking to save money on other games, check out the Xbox One games that are currently on sale, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Halo 5: Guardians.
