This game has been long awaited and now, it finally feels like it is actually coming soon. With a release date of the 5th October, Assassin’s Creed fans don’t have too much longer to wait – just a month and a bit to get through.

The game itself is going to look dramatically different. Developers Ubisoft have made the decision to change the location, shifting the world from Ancient Egypt into Ancient Greece. There will also be plenty of new features to explore. You will have the choice of playing as Alexios or Kassandra, moving into a Spartan hero throughout the game’s progression. The world itself is beautiful and you won’t be short of things to explore within it; it might take you on some unexpected turns as well.

So which platforms will you be able to play the game on? It’s going to be available for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, so the choice is yours.

Detroit: Become Human features the stories of androids who feature in the story. It was released for PS4 earlier this year, and the signs are looking positive so far – it has sold more than one million copies since launch, which makes it Quantic Dreams’s most successful game to date. It is based on a technology demonstration from 2012 by the developers.

The plot can mainly be characterised as an adventure game, with characters having to collect clues and gather information. Collecting information gives you more power and you will be able to replay events. There are three main characters in the story. Connor is an android police investigator that looks for deviant androids not doing their job. Kara and Markus are housekeepers and they gain consciousness, which leads them to help others. There are various characters you can play as, meaning the story is never over – if your character dies, you can carry on as another one.

How much can a video game ever really be like a sport? There are always going to be very fundamental differences, as well as quirks of gameplay that just cannot be related to the real thing. Tennis World Tour, though, is making a good go of being true to life when it comes to professional tennis.

Tennis World Tour is a much more mature version of tennis video gaming than its predecessors. Much more attention has been paid to timing the shot just right, and this will massively affect the difficult of scoring points. You will also be expected to think strategically, rather like a professional tennis player. You won’t be able to play in every tournament, and will have to decide on certain ones, focusing on the types of court you like playing on.

Tennis World Tour was released earlier this month and you can buy it on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Windows and Nintendo Switch.

Scavengers is the newly announced game from new studio Midwinter Entertainment, the team behind new Halo games. It is a survival game set in an ice age, where players must decide whether to work together or attack each other in an each man for his own scenario.

The game is interesting because of its blend of player vs player and player vs environment content. It’s along the same lines as Halo 5, and it makes use of artificial intelligence to adapt the world to the playing scenario. This opens up lots of new possibilities and creates a game that feels like it is without limits.

Whilst the game is developed by Midwinter Entertainment, it will run on the SpatialOS platform from Improbable. The teams have talked about working together on the game, and have described it is a creative meeting of minds. They soon realised the solutions held in SpatialOS were perfect for the game and would really benefit players.

The fantasy CRPG game Divinity: Original Sin 2 is the follow up to Original Sin, released in 2014 by Larian Studios. It is a role playing game set in a fantasy world called Rivellon, fighting against evil forces known as The Void. The aim of the game is for the player to become undead by fighting against The Void and winning back the kingdom. The first mission is to escape from Fort Joy, where the Sourcerers have been captured and sent to be ‘cured’.

The game is all about relationships and using them to benefit gameplay. The player selects a team – up to 3 people to help on the mission. Each person has an individual story that matters to the game and the outcome.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 was released in September for Microsoft Windows. It is a beautifully designed, highly playable game that will keep you entertained with its many twists and turns.
