13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, Vanillaware’s gorgeous 2D side-scrolling mech adventure, is finally coming to North American PS4 on September 8. The adventure/strategy game will launch with Japanese voiceover, with English voices coming in a free post-launch update. It’s so damn pretty.
Your PC must be this powerful to play Death Stranding. Kojima’s Norman Reedus doing stuff simulator comes to PC on July 14, with modest system requirements as befitting a port of a late-life PlayStation 4 game. You’ll need beefier hardware for 4K but for 1080p previous-generation graphics hardware will do just fine.
It’s Thursday—we can do this! Welcome back to our daily open thread.

There’s a new Transformers game coming later this year called Transformers: Battlegrounds. Headed to Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC on October 23, the developer, Coatsink, is calling it a “tactical warfare” game where you customize your autobot squad and fight battles from “Central City to Cybertron.”
A limited preview of Session, the upcoming skateboarding simulator from creā-ture Studios, is now available on Xbox One. The two-hour trial is meant to act as an appetizer leading up to the Xbox Game Preview release on June 17. Session has been in early access on Steam since September 2019.
I thought it was Thursday for several hours of today, but it’s only Wednesday, and the day’s just begun! Welcome…
