Here is an overview of the game, via Funcom:

About

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a tactical adventure game combining the turn-based combat of XCOM with story, exploration, stealth, and strategy. Take control of a team of Mutants navigating a post-human Earth. Created by a team including former Hitman leads and the designer of Payday.

Key Features

• Tactical Combat: Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is the ultimate fix for your tactical strategy addiction. Dive into a deep, turn-based, tactical combat system inspired by the XCOM games.

• Explore a Post-Human Earth: Journey through a post-human world of abandoned cities, crumbling highways, and overgrown countryside. Check back at the Ark, a neon-bathed oasis of ill repute and questionable characters, to restock your supplies and plan out your next adventure.

• Control a Team of Mutants: A duck with an attitude problem and a boar with anger issues; these aren’t your typical heroes. Get to know Dux, Bormin, Selma, and many other characters each with their own unique personality and deranged perspective on the world and their situation.

• Master the Stealthy Approach: Sneak through shadows to avoid conflict or to catch enemies unaware. Real-time stealth allows you full control of approach: sneak into an enemy camp, position the team of Mutants to your advantage, and gain the element of surprise.

• Unlock Mutations: Unlock new mutations and abilities for your Mutants, such as Selma’s Stoneskin, Bormin’s Charge, and Dux‘ uncanny ability to sneak into a camp full of enemies unnoticed, despite being a 4-foot tall walking, talking duck with a crossbow.

• Dynamic Environments: Use the environment to your advantage. Stay out of floodlights, hide from line of sight, or just blast down fully destructible walls and buildings and wreak utter havoc.

• Loot, Loot Everywhere: From makeshift slingshots to high-powered rifles and top hats to police vests, make sure you equip your Mutants for the dangers ahead. Nothing says post-human quite like a mutated boar in spiked metal armor charging at you with a blunderbuss in his hands.

The Sinking City Gamescom 2018 commented gameplay demo
克苏鲁游戏《沉没之城》12分钟演示 畸形怪物轮番登场

　　今日，YouTube频道Rob Cram为我们带来了一段12分钟的克苏鲁游戏《沉没之城》的12分钟演示视频，各种畸形的恐怖怪物轮番登场。

　　从演示中展现的场景来看，主人公所在的整个小镇都被雾气笼罩，街道破败不堪，十分萧瑟。女NPC的嘴被诡异地缝住，室内各种沾血的物件和不知含义的符号，还有时不时在脑海中响起的声音，恐怖的异形怪物，让人SAN值狂掉。

　　《沉没之城》将于2019年5月21日登陆PC、PS4和Xbox One平台,敬请期待。

   

Publisher Bigben Interactive and developer Frogwares have released a new, 12-minute commented gameplay demo of The Sinking City.

Here is an overview of the video, via Bigben Interactive:

The 12-minute narrated gameplay demo dives head first into the gracefully rotting world of Oakmont, looking at a few of the investigative tools at your disposal, and a bitter taste of the warped, nefarious stories to come. In this investigation, we’re trying to help a rather hesitant witness. Someone, or something, has promised to keep this poor souls mouth sewn shut, figuratively and literally.

The quest, titled “Silence is Golden,” helps to showcase a core design principle of no hand-holding / mini-map marker loaded exploring and quest solving. Instead, players need to use the clues and info they have to figure out what are their next steps

It also highlights the current design of the investigation and concentration systems, the insanity mechanic and how the clue research system works.

The Sinking City is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 21, 2019.

Edge of Eternity will launch for PC via Steam Early Access on November 29, publisher Playdius Games and developer Midgar Studio announced. The full release is planned for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Here is a message from Midgar Studio explaining why the game will launch in Early Access:

Since its Kickstarter, Edge of Eternity underwent through a lot of changes. As the scope of the project widened, also did our needs. As a result, we have hired a few more talented hands to help us deliver the project we envisioned. Edge of Eternity became even grander.

One notorious example of this is the voice acting: it wasn’t our intention to dub the game at first, but as the storyline unfolded, we began eyeing each others like “wouldn’t this scene be far more epic if it was voiced?” – “Yes, it would.” So we began expanding on that field, for outstanding results we can’t wait to share with you.

As we conduct the remaining of our development within the boundaries we’ve set, we are still tempted to expand some additional features that would greatly overhaul the whole experience. Opening the game now to Early Access would help us unlock enough budget to add an additional layer of polish into the game, and insure it will be the best game we can possibly deliver.

Also having players giving us actual feedback about the game would help us immensely in nudging the game in the right direction. There is a certain amount of fine-tuning that heavily depends on individual feedback, and we feel that inviting the players into it is a desirable direction. The other reason why we are looking forward to collaborate with our community is the modding. We intend to make Edge of Eternity fully customizable and allow the players to plunge their hands right into it and experiment their own things. For that matter we intend to release a Modkit for Edge of Eternity in the next months for players to tinker with it.

This Modkit will need – just like the rest of the game – feedback from you. We have several guys on our team who were modders themselves and who deeply value modding as a practice and feel it has a real added value to a game.

In short, we need as much feedback as we can gather, and we think actual players are the best persons to know what they like or not.

For all of those reasons, we felt that Early Access is a sound choice, especially considering our actual state of the development.

Here is an overview of the game’s features:

• An Enthralling JRPG Adventure – A unique, riveting story with numerous plot twists and heart-wrenching moments, supported by an epic soundtrack featuring industry legend Yasunori Mitsuda.

• A Gorgeous World – Discover an alien world and its unique environments, unearth the most ancient secrets of the world of Heryon. Solve quests in multiple ways,make your own choices and face their consequences

• A Deep & Strategic Combat System – Outwit your enemies in epic tactical combats, use the environment to lure your enemies into devious traps, outsmart and outflank them to inflict massive damage! Craft your gear and inset it with powerful crystal to unlock unique combinations of skills and power-ups.

• A Cast of Charismatic Characters – Meet a cast of larger-than-life companions, each with their own set of attributes, watch them grow and evolve throughout the story, as you live through it yourself. Discover their dreams, their flaws, their hopes and their torments as you share many special moments with them.
