From Iron Man VR to the Destroy All Humans remake, there are a number of significant Anime game strategy releases coming in July 2020. August 2020 has far less, but there are still some games launching then that could turn out to be pretty great. Of course, most of the focus is on later in 2020 and the launch of the next-generation PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles , which will be delivering some brand new gaming experiences to the mas
When Kojima first expressed interest in making a sequel to Death Stranding , he stated that a new title would need to “start from zero.” This makes sense considering Kojima's history with franchises, most notably the Metal Gear Solid games. With each Metal Gear Solid title, Kojima consistently added in new gameplay elements, features, and ideas. This is necessary with the bold and ambitious games Kojima likes to create, so it makes sense tha t Death Stranding 2 would build upon things players saw in Death Stranding . Kojima will likely take the theme of connection he established in Death Stranding and create an entirely new storyline with new characters and locations for a sequel. So although it would be a sequel, it would also be a separate entity in the franch

In the latter, players find themselves in an expansive version of ancient Japan, and instead of putting waypoints to direct players where their next objective will be, Ghost of Tsushima allowed players to utilize the environmental elements to get a sense of where they need to head to n
In the end, given that Fable is still in its early stages of development , there is no sure way of knowing where Playground Games plans to take the franchise with its new game. However, given the hype surrounding Fable shortly after its release, it is certain that more information, preferably through trailers and gameplay footage, will be released in the coming months. Nonetheless, it appears that Microsoft is really stepping up its game, especially in the realm of first-party single-player RPGs with the development of Fable and Obsidian Entertainment's Avow
One thing that Playground Games should retain in the upcoming Fable game is the humor that made the franchise stand out in the first place. In previous installments, every element of the game's world is infused with humor such as item descriptions and quests that are filled with little jo
As Death Stranding players deliver packages in its giant open world, they will discover that it's not quite as empty as it seems on the surface. The world is littered with ghost-like creatures called BTs (Beached Things) that can summon a black tar substance to attack Sam. The first few encounters with BTs are pretty intense, as they're invisible unless Sam is standing completely still, and he has to hold his breath just to sneak past them. However, these BT encounters quickly go from intense to being minor nuisances when it becomes apparent that sneaking past them is actually very easy. Later in the game players even get a tool that lets them kill BTs, which makes them even less threatening. They will easily catch players if they try to speed through the BT-infested areas, though, so really their main function is to force players to slow down and make the long walks even longer. Getting caught by BTs will make Sam drop his cargo and can easily result in a game over, which can be terribly frustrating when it happens during a particularly long walk. For these reasons, we found ourselves greeting each BT encounter with an eye roll before too l
As such, a Fable reboot from Playground Games shapes up to be a nice change of pace for RPG enthusiasts. However, with a decade past Fable 3 , just what can this reboot offer? Moreover, how would it be different from its predecessor? Are fans going to see a return to a more playful visual direction? Or is Fable going to make a darker t
Arguably the biggest new video game release of July 2020 is Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima . Serving as the last major PlayStation 4 exclusive release before the launch of the PS5, Ghost of Tsushima marks Sucker Punch's first game release in about six years. Boasting cutting-edge visuals and authentic samurai combat, Ghost of Tsushima has a significant amount of hype behind it, and many are expecting it to be one of Sucker Punch's best games to date. As the PS4's swan song, here's hoping Ghost of Tsushima meets and exceeds expectations come lau
When the BB in Death Stranding gets upset, it starts crying through the DualShock 4 microphone, which can be annoying. It's reminiscent of Mario crying in the Yoshi's Island games, and while using motion controls to calm it is kind of neat the first few times, it gets old quick, not unlike the encounters with the
Death Stranding 's Social Strand System allows players to work cooperatively with one another by collaborating on building projects and leaving behind helpful items like ladders and climbing ropes. Players can express their gratitude by dishing out “likes” to structures that they found particularly helpful, which in turn helps the players that built them level up. This encourages cooperation, and gets across Death Stranding 's main theme in a big way: we're all in this together, and only by working together can we really make the world a better pl
