The doughy and wonderfully unpleasant horrors of Little Nightmares will return next year in a sequel, Bandai Namco announced today. Little Nightmares II will send us out into the wider world as another spooky wee kid, this time a lad with a paper bag on our head, and our yellow-coated pal from the first game is coming along. She’ll be an AI-controlled friend keeping us company on our puzzle-platforming adventure, sadly not a chum for cooperative multiplayer. Though I’m not sure my usual co-op pals would be much use when we’re shouting “WHAT IS THIS AWFUL DOUGH-CHEESE-MEAT-MELT PERSON?” anyway. Anyway! Meet some of the new horrors in the announcement trailer. I do like our kid, Mono, twatting a doll with a ladle in there (he will “be able to wield a range of items picked up from the environment,” Bamco say, adding “an extra layer of challenge to the game’s puzzles and encounters with enemies”).

The Witcher 3 Switch release date wasn’t the only thing that CD Projekt Red decided to reveal during Gamescom 2019’s Opening Night Live. Albeit in a more secretive manner, a new The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt Switch gameplay video was shown to the masses.

You get to see how we want our missions to start, where the Fire Team is being brought in on the helicopter to the jungle. Did anyone recognize the song? That is a nod to ‘87 for sure! … [Read more...] about Predator: Hunting Grounds is a co-op nostalgia flashback
