Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally moseying up to its release date, so game publishers are rushing to launch their latest projects ahead of the Wild West prequel. And that means several big releases will make their way onto store shelves this week, including new games from Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, WB Games, and 2K Games.
Ubisoft will attempt to revive the toys-to-life genre with Starlink: Battle For Atlas for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Players can customize the space shooter by purchasing additional Starship Packs and Weapon Packs, and Switch owners will even be able to pilot an Arwing from Star Fox right out of the box.
Several other long-running franchises will also receive new entries this week, including Bandai Namco’s one-on-one fighter Soul Calibur VI (PS4, Xbox One, and download-only on the PC) and WB Games’s family-friendly action title Lego DC Super-Villains (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and download-only on the PC). Saber Interactive is also charging the hoop for their second arcade-style basketball game, teaming up with 2K Games for NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 (PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and download-only on the PC).
Finally this week, Dark Souls Remastered will finally make its way to the Switch, and Bandai Namco will also bundle together all three games in the Dark Souls Trilogy for the PS4 and Xbox One. For Honor: Marching Fire Edition from Ubisoft will also bundle together the original game and a big batch of new content for the PS4 and Xbox One.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s new releases after the break.
