Paradise Killer is a stylish murder mystery headed to PC this summer. You play as detective Lady Love Dies responsible for interrogating witnesses on an edenic island and finding out which of them is responsible for doing some murders. It looks very weird and cool.

Six years later Dungeon of the Endless is still getting ported. The excellent tower defense roguelike will finally come to PS4 and Switch on May 15, only five years after it came to iPad and Xbox One. Better late than never though, especially for a strategy game as good as this one.

Neon Abyss is another cool looking roguelike platformer due out on consoles and PC later this year. Are there already plenty of pixel-animated bullet hell side-scrollers out there? Yes. Does it hurt to have a few more? Absolutely not. Now pump the neon directly into my veins.

There’s a new trailer for Destiny 2's Season of the Worthy which starts March 10. It looks like it’s based around teaming back up with Rasputin to defend the Last City by powering up Seraph Towers through public events and clearing out bunkers with wanted enemies in them.

Japan is getting a new Monster Hunter game for phones next winter. It’s called Monster Hunter: Riders, and there’s not much to glean from the trailer, but the graphics look good and cooking elaborate meals is also present. It’s free-to-play, though, so hopefully it’s not mired in gacha-style microtransactions.

Disintegration, the new game from V1 Interactive, the studio headed by Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto, just got its first trailer. There’s only a bit of gameplay, but it looks fun—and will reportedly come with both a story campaign and multiplayer.

The Last Spell had me at Final Fantasy Tactics meets Dynasty Warriors. Whether it eventually delivers on that combination when it comes out next year on PC, the trailer has me pining for more tactical beat’em ups against giant They Are Billions-looking hordes.
