Madden NFL 19, Dead Cells, Overcooked 2, more coming to PS Store this week
Are you ready for some football?
EA Sports intercepts another PlayStation Store update with this week’s launch of Madden NFL 19 for the PS4. This time around, the football simulation will feature an expanded Story Mode and a new animation engine known as Real Player Motion. Also available to download this week for the PS4 is Dead Cells, a MetroidVania that also includes the “constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath.”
Equally nerve-wracking is the kitchens found in Overcooked 2, a multiplayer cooking simulation for the PS4 from Ghost Town Games. And after you cook up some grub, you can settle in for a game of “basketbrawl” from Bread Machine Games and try to impress the Giant Blue Man of Slam Land.
Finally this week, Compulsion Games will bring their wild tale of an alternate 1960s England to the PS4 in We Happy Few. Players will explore a retrofuturistic city in three intertwined storylines as they try to survive among the drugged-out populace.

New Retail Releases: Madden NFL 19, Overcooked 2, We Happy Few
A trio of new games will be available on retail shelves this week, and each one will provide a unique experience for players looking for something different.
If you’re looking for a new entry in a tried-and-true franchise, you can never go wrong with John Madden Football. EA Sports’s annual football simulation is back this week with the release of Madden NFL 19, and Pittsburgh’s Antonio Brown is on the cover. Set to launch for the PS4 and Xbox One, the development team is touting a new animation system known as Real Player Motion this time around, as well as a continuation of last year’s “Longshot” Story Mode
Also available this week is Overcooked! 2, Ghost Town’s multiplayer cooking simulation sequel for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Though we use the word “simulation” pretty loosely, as players will have to deal with “teleporters, moving platforms, dynamic kitchens that shift and evolve, and magic.”
Finally this week, Compulsion Games is ready to release We Happy Few, their whacked-out tale of drug-fueled denial in a “retrofuturistic” alternate take on 1960s England. Featuring three interwoven storylines, We Happy Few will be available for the PS4 and Xbox One.
All three games will also be available to download for the PC in the coming days.
And speaking of digital downloads, we’ll be back later this week with a complete rundown of this week’s new additions to the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, and Nintendo eShop.

Xbox Store Today: We Happy Few, Hyper Light Drifter, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1+2, more
Xbox One Game Preview fans will definitely want to pay attention to today’s Xbox Games Store update, which includes the official early release of Compulsion’s We Happy Few, a drug-fuelled trip through the 1960s in a retrofuturistic city in England.
Speaking of “retro,” Heart Machine unleashed their overhead action RPG Hyper Light Drifter on the Xbox One. The “Zeldalike” features a unique graphical style, along with “enemies [that] are vicious and numerous” and “hazards [that] will easily crush your frail body.” Slightly less retro is Activision’s Xbox One re-release of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, a pair of action RPGs that were originally released for the Xbox 360. Both games are available separately or in a two-game bundle.
Finally this week, Telltale continues Minecraft: Story Mode with the seventh episode, Access Denied. It’s available to download for both the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
You can find more information on all of these (and a few other new releases) after the break. (more…)
