00:00Hey guys, Paul Rea, Family Family Gaming, and with me is Team Gamer, and we're going
00:16to do a reacts to multiple events, PC Gaming Show first, PC Gaming Show 2023 preview.
00:25So let's go.
00:55PC Gaming Show 2023 Preview, powered by Intel.
01:23Hello, welcome to the PC Gaming Show 2023 Preview.
01:27I am Frankie Ward, and while I resemble a 30-something mom from the south of London,
01:31I'm actually a gaming oracle here to reveal your gaming future.
01:36You are welcome. Please leave a five-star review.
01:40While much of the games industry is currently picking Game of the Year winners for 2022,
01:45we have got our eyes set firmly forward, bringing you trailers, previews, and exclusive looks
01:51at the upcoming games we'll be playing on PC next year in 2023.
01:55Then, last but by no means least, we will highlight our eagerly awaited A-listers,
02:00closing the show with a countdown of our six most wanted games of 2023.
02:05But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
02:07We've got a full slate of game previews to show first.
02:10And what better way to start than with a world premiere?
02:14Let's kick things off with a first look at the new Space Colony sim from our mellow developer, League of Leagues.
02:20This is Twilight Odyssey.
02:50Find their way home.
02:52Now a great darkness has found us.
03:00The war-mongering Zootopans sought to extinguish our light.
03:07In a desperate bid to defend our beloved home, we committed everything we had.
03:21Oh.
03:25Yeah, run away, because when your spaceship blows up, you don't get to survive.
03:37Hey, Kevin, how you doing? How you doing? How you doing?
03:39Ozzy, Ozzy, dude. Ozzy, Ozzy.
03:41Stay, uh, warm over there, Kevin. Or if it's warm over there.
03:46You missed the ship. She hit the planet.
03:48I knew what I had to do.
03:51Where our only hope lies.
03:57Ramming speed.
04:00I, Princess Euphora, last remaining regent of our people, will lead us to the forever star.
04:12Jump Light Odyssey.
04:15Those of us who survived that day lost everything.
04:19But this is not our end. We will survive.
04:23Because together, we will keep hope alive.
04:38Hunt them down. No survivors.
04:44Hunt them down.
04:47Huh.
04:50Jump Light Odyssey will warp onto our PCs in 2022.
04:52I'm doing it, Kevin. How about you?
04:54Next, fans of trench coats and Blade Runner should keep an eye on our next game.
04:58Shadows of Doubt is a sandbox stealth game where you're a private eye in a fully simulated sci-fi city of beautiful, chunky pixels.
05:06Kevin.
05:07Let's take a look.
05:08Another world premiere? Oh, no. Oh, no.
05:13Rain Simulator 2023.
05:16Nah, you're definitely wrong about that one.
05:18Wait.
05:20Fully simulated city overflown with light.
05:22This looks like a horror game.
05:24Oh, it's a crime.
05:25Oh, crime.
05:26Well, they just said it was the population was 986 and it was 985.
05:31Yeah, this is one of those games you play on a PC.
05:35Wow, they pixelated that.
05:38Yeah, it's terrible.
05:39Ugh.
05:40Follow leads and unravel secrets.
05:42Game over for the grill.
05:47Anyone got a coat to go to the bathroom?
05:53This one is just hideous.
05:57But it's got pistachios in it, so maybe that's something.
06:06Oh, hey.
06:08What was that?
06:12Uh, I don't know.
06:13Sounded like someone was shooting.
06:15Semi-automatic.
06:16Yeah, I hate this game, yeah.
06:24Oh, that's horrible combat.
06:33What kind of detective would he be?
06:35I want to be like Bullock.
06:37No.
06:38I'm calling Batman.
06:39Oh.
06:40Population 984, 893.
06:42Shadows of the Dead.
06:44Shadows of Doubt.
06:46That's funny.
06:47I probably won't play that one.
06:48Well, you don't need to be a detective to see how good that looked.
06:51Shadows of Doubt is coming to PC in Q1 2023 and you can play the beta from December 1st.
06:57Be sure to visit the PC Gaming Show 2023 preview page on Steam and sign up.
07:02Now, one of the strengths of PC gaming is its breadth of variety,
07:05with room for everything from cooperative ghost hunting to score-based trombone simulation.
07:11And to showcase the expanse of experiences on offer,
07:14here's PC Gamer's Imogen Mellon.
07:16Hey, thanks for looking there, Lori.
07:17From very different genres, all coming in 2023.
07:23Thank you, Frankie.
07:24First in our sample platter is City of Murals.
07:27In this colorful roguelite, you'll be gliding and grappling across the vibrant frontiers of an alien world.
07:33Make strange new friends or fight to outlast the competition.
07:36Don't sweat the setbacks.
07:37In this cosmic fight for survival, your deaths only make you stronger.
07:45Speaking of fighting, Capcom's famed fighter is back with more bids and new ways to play.
07:50In Street Fighter VI, keep your fists flying to use new drive gauge mechanics
07:54while in-game commentators narrate the action.
07:57Wow, that took off a chunk!
08:00And a new modern control type means even rookies can throw fireballs with ease.
08:09In the mind-bending narrative adventure A Thousand Times Resist,
08:12you're a clone in the far future.
08:14As you relive the memories of humanity's last survivor,
08:17you'll uncover a conspiracy that stretches across time
08:21and uncover the truth behind a rewritten history.
08:24Thankfully over quickly.
08:26In Vengeful Guardian Moon Rider,
08:28a totalitarian state learns a hard lesson about activating cyborg super ninjas.
08:32It's a bad idea.
08:34You control the Moon Rider, a...
08:38Moving on.
08:41First, a beautiful city builder for cliffside castle enthusiasts.
08:45The second, a gruesome hack and slash game drenched in neon and unicorn guts.
08:50A little something for everyone then.
08:54Uh, okay.
08:57Doom, Spice Wars?
09:01No, probably not.
09:06I said city builder.
09:10First one's city builder, next one's like a disgusting, gross one.
09:16This looks familiar.
09:24No, I think I've seen it in one of the other reactions.
09:34Yeah, Bulwark.
09:38Probably only on Steam.
09:51We'll skip that.
09:53I guess it's M.
09:55...PC games have been role-playing games,
09:58whether they let us become monster hunters, spaceship captains,
10:01wasteland wanderers, computer hackers, or amnesiac detectives.
10:05And just as they let us lead all sorts of second lives,
10:08RPGs can play in all kinds of different ways.
10:11Some are about talking and making bold choices,
10:14changing the fates of entire realms with a dialogue tree.
10:18Some are strategic and thinky,
10:20demanding intricate stat management and precision play.
10:23I consider those strategy.
10:24Others, like this open-world road-like and systemic reaction,
10:27are focused mostly on the stabbing.
10:30This is Ravenbound.
10:34Ravenbound?
10:36Not rated, though.
10:38Oh, yeah.
10:39Well, we're going to find out.
10:42This land is not for the weak.
10:46It's an ancient place.
10:48Most of us wouldn't last a day.
10:51That's a lot of blood.
10:53But we know you're different.
10:56Even the raven could see that.
10:59Open-world roguelite.
11:01You want me to play as a bird?
11:02That's why we entrusted you.
11:06To wield its power.
11:07Okay, I've turned it off six times.
11:08I'll turn it off again.
11:09To be its weapon.
11:12Why is it not just turning it off?
11:13To meet the darkness.
11:14So that the cause does not die when you do.
11:30All right, skipping.
11:31Ravenbound.
11:34Don't want that one.
11:35You can wishlist Ravenbound right now by heading over to our Steam page.
11:39Okay, let's trade a Norse fantasy sword for a raven.
11:43Let's trade a Norse fantasy for the grimdark future.
11:46In Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader,
11:48you might not be a space marine-sliced slab of power armor,
11:51but as the latest in a line of star-faring privateers with the Emperor's own blessing,
11:56you do enjoy certain privileges.
11:59Your very own massive void ship, for instance.
12:03I have a feeling this is going to be bad, too.
12:06Owlcat Games.
12:08Good job.
12:11Warhammer.
12:12The Koronis Expanse.
12:15The Imperium's perilous frontier.
12:19A foul haven for the enemies of mankind.
12:23It is the hunting ground of the Rogue Traders,
12:27unique and powerful servants of the Imperium.
12:31Here, they seek out new worlds and servants.
12:35Here, they discover heresy and deceit.
12:40The Imperium's machines.
12:46Murderous Xenos.
12:53Warp-spawned horrors.
13:01Fanatical zealots.
13:03In these dark reaches, the Emperor's light is faint.
13:13It is the Rogue Traders' duty to navigate through this dangerous unknown.
13:18For they have the power to feed the Emperor's flame,
13:22or to plunge millions of worlds into darkness.
13:30Oh, this is like a pre-order. Oh.
13:33Collector's edition.
13:35No thanks.
13:36Yeah, they got a physical copy.
13:38I ain't buying none of that.
13:40All of it's on the Epic Games Store.
13:42What?
13:45No.
13:47What'd you do?
13:48I don't know. I didn't do anything.
13:49It just, it paused itself and then went to go to the channel.
13:54It might be heresy in Warhammer,
13:56but this is a safe space for spellcasters.
13:59After all, RPGs are a festival for all things fantastical.
14:03Whether they're pulling from old myths or writing magical worlds all of their own,
14:07these next games are a fantasy tour de force.
14:10Imogen, what scrying spells have you woven up for us?
14:13Oh, fantasy worlds, okay.
14:16Um, Rust?
14:18How does Gaslamp fantasy sound?
14:20In this survival game from former Bioware developers,
14:23building a cozy base isn't enough.
14:25If you want to survive in Nightingale,
14:27you'll have to open portals between the Fey Realms
14:30and face the dangers on the other side.
14:32But by meddling with the game's procedural generation,
14:35you can shape your next world into something that will hopefully need fewer bullets.
14:39I think we've seen this before.
14:45Forspoken.
14:46Forspoken places a young New Yorker in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world.
14:50Luckily for Freya Holland, she's got a newfound suite of fast, flashy combat spells.
14:55And with magical parkour, she can air dash, double jump,
14:58and wall run her way across the corrupted open world of Athia.
15:01Let's break some heads.
15:05It looks like Dargus Dungeon, but it hacks and slashes like Gauntlet.
15:09In Arryn, the Book of Heroes,
15:11you'll carve a path through co-op campaign quests as one of five classes,
15:15each with their own fighting style and unlockable perks.
15:18Arryn, the Book of Heroes, opens in May 2023.
15:25If you'd like a lighter fantasy than Arryn, consider Frozen Flame,
15:28a survival RPG that understands you want to be out adventuring,
15:32not stuck in your base filling your hunger meter.
15:34It's a high-magic, high-saturation landscape built for exploration,
15:38not for busywork.
15:44Of course, we haven't gone the way of the dinos yet.
15:47But for humanity in the 41st millennium, survival is anything but guaranteed.
15:52At least, that's what the Imperial Gargantuar's meaning.
15:55Speaking of, here's your latest look at Warhammer 40,000 Darktide.
15:59Darktide releases November 30th, but there's no need to wait if you're anxious for inquisitorial service.
16:06With Darktide's pre-ordered beta access, you can play today.
16:09Visit playdarktide.com for more info.
16:13Right, let's set the challenge.
16:15We're going to start off with Darktide 40,000 Darktide.
16:18We're going to start off with Darktide 40,000 Darktide.
16:21We're going to start off with Darktide 40,000 Darktide.
16:24We're going to start off with Darktide 40,000 Darktide.
16:27Right, let's set the chainsaws aside for something more cheerful, shall we?
16:31Waiting in our next block of previews is a farming fantasy with a creature collecting potions.
16:36But first, here's Imogen with some fresh features for Project Winter.
16:45This incoming update for Project Winter is all about intrigue.
16:49Traitors in the snowy social destruction game will enjoy more ways to steal, sabotage, and surveil,
16:55while two new roles will bring new ways to play.
16:58And you'll find the map decked out with holiday decoration for added festive flair.
17:06Overmagica is Stardew Valley with Pokemon farmhands.
17:10You'll breed, train, and battle your own collection of blobs,
17:13colorful creatures with unique skills to boost the yield from your fields.
17:17With a band of blobs at your side, venture out to find rare materials for crafting your ideal farmstead.
17:26Inspired by Kashubian myths, Dungeons of the Amber Griffin is a modern revival of classic...
17:32Hey, they're showing us a lot of games so far.
17:34Yes, they are.
17:35...environment. Well, you'd have something like Level Zero,
17:38a team-based tactical horror with extremely murderable maintenance workers.
17:42Bring a flashlight, and let's take a look.
17:46What is with them and these dub horror games? Goodness.
17:50Level Zero, is that different, or...
17:52No, it's the same one. That's what we were just talking about.
17:54Okay.
17:58Oh, Carnival's gotten... They started good, and they've gotten horrible in recent years.
18:04Shake off those scares.
18:06We haven't left space just yet, and we'll need steady hands if we want to make a safe landing.
18:11Luckily, I know a few Kerbals with a very promising astronaut program.
18:15Carnival's falling apart.
18:16In Kerbal Space Program 2, your Kerbal cosmonauts will enjoy new tech
18:19to explore the farthest reaches of the solar system, and eventually, interstellar space.
18:24But don't just take my word for it.
18:26For all the details on the updated space sim,
18:28let's go over to the PC Gamer team for an exclusive interview
18:31with Nate Simpson, creative director on Kerbal Space Program 2.
18:37Yeah, Kerbal Space Program 2. I remember Kerbal Space Program.
18:40Are you kidding me?
18:42It was hard.
18:44For us, failure's not only an option, it's, like, absolutely mandatory, right?
18:49It's the way that we learn and evolve.
18:51One of the things I'm excited about with Early Access is it kind of makes everything feel a little more Kerbal
18:57in the sense that we're going to get some things wrong.
19:00We're going to make some assumptions that are incorrect.
19:04We're going to fail out loud.
19:06Going into Early Access, we have the opportunity to make this game amazing.
19:12Make this game amazing with our community, not just for our community.
19:17Each update is kind of like a little present.
19:20As a community, we get to unwrap this present together with all the new features
19:24and all the new things to explore.
19:26I cannot overstate how important it is for me to just hear what people think about this thing we're creating.
19:33And then once I got in space, I couldn't get back down.
19:36I couldn't safely bring it back down.
19:38It's a rare opportunity to actually find out how we've been doing.
19:41Blew up.
19:43It's not in the right place.
19:46Hi there, I'm Imogen Mellor from PC Gamer, and I am joined by Kerbal Space Program 2's Nate Simpson.
19:52Would you like to introduce yourself, Nate?
19:54Hi, I'm Nate Simpson. I'm the creative director for KSP2.
19:57Okay, so, Kerbal Space Program 2 coming up, Early Access, all that jazz.
20:02When we talked in early 2020, one of the features you highlighted were the new tutorial videos to teach people how to play.
20:09Can you talk a little bit about that, and can you talk about what we'll be seeing in Early Access?
20:14One experience that a lot of people had.
20:16They're just showing the same video, but they're talking about it.
20:28Wow, this is long.
20:31It's like the major thing here, I think.
20:34Huh.
20:36When we return from orbit, there are a lot of games coming our way.
20:40Too many games to reasonably cover, some might say.
20:43Luckily, we've got the magic of montages on our side.
20:47Here's a rapid-fire look at what's on the PC gaming horizon,
20:50from gun-toting witch hunters to mega-sized monster slayers.
20:55Huh.
20:57Uh.
20:59Okay, I don't know what's next for games.
21:02Oh, it's, uh...
21:05Haha!
21:06Store it up.
21:12Copyright?
21:14I don't think so.
21:16Oh, that's a horror.
21:17Oh.
21:18Oh.
21:23Lost in space.
21:27That's a big, giant boar.
21:31Hmm.
21:32Oh, I can flap the traveler too, but...
21:35I think we might have this on the Switch.
21:40Oh, we're gonna get a certain mask in a row.
21:42Huh.
21:47Oh, that's a claw.
21:48Sons of the Forest, that's interesting.
21:56Park Beyond!
21:59That looks cool.
22:03Oh, oh.
22:04Okay.
22:06An anime bike game.
22:08Bomb Run some.
22:10It's like Jack Ryan.
22:13Oh, is it cyber?
22:14Huh?
22:15No, it's probably fantasy.
22:19Lightyear Frontier.
22:22Hmm.
22:25Isn't this one of the designs?
22:26Yeah.
22:28Oh, it's a...
22:30Oh, it's a...
22:31Cool.
22:33I asked him.
22:35Okay.
22:39Revitalized by that first sprint in our preview marathon?
22:41Lovely.
22:42Because we have plenty of trail left to blaze
22:44for your next year in PC gaming.
22:46But before we resume our blistering pace,
22:49let's take a breather with a new addition
22:51to your laid-back simulation sandbox.
23:00Yes, potato simulator.
23:03PC building simulator.
23:06The repair house.
23:10Is this going to be like another game?
23:12Oh, an Atari.
23:15Atari 2600.
23:16You've got to repair it.
23:17Fix it.
23:18Yeah, you repair stuff.
23:20No way.
23:21You know what?
23:23Looks like something cool.
23:24Next year.
23:29Restore.
23:30A guitar.
23:33And...
23:35And then ship it when the job's finished.
23:39I will fix your old junk.
23:49Princess, you have food.
23:51Why is that what you eat?
23:58While antique restoration sounds
24:00While antique restoration sounds delightful,
24:02we are taking a sharp turn
24:04in a more destructive direction now.
24:06The next course in our gaming feast
24:08is for the head-clickers, combo stringers,
24:10and compulsive reloaders.
24:12Whether in first or third person,
24:14whether side-scrolling or top-down,
24:16you show up to do one thing.
24:18Land more hits than you take.
24:20We've gathered the finest shooters,
24:22slashers, brawlers, and beat-em-ups of 2023.
24:25You'll see low-gravity gunfights,
24:27skeleton sawplayers,
24:28and whatever you call it
24:29when someone's fighting with an umbrella.
24:31But first, we're looking backwards
24:33towards something a little more 90s.
24:35Say hello, Gordon, to Abiotic Factor.
24:43I'm feeling distinctly anhydrous.
24:50The Gate Cascade Research Facility
24:52has stretched the fabric of the universe
24:55to breaking point.
24:58Now the world's greatest minds
25:00must survive a trans-dimensional catastrophe
25:04using brains over brawn
25:06to unlock the facility's secret depths.
25:13Endothermia.
25:20And craft their way out
25:22of a supernatural situation.
25:28I was drinking that coffee.
25:30One sector at a time.
25:35When the boundaries between dimensions
25:38have been undone,
25:40it's up to the science team
25:44to endure, experiment, explore,
25:48and maybe even escape
25:50an apocalypse in the making.
25:53Aren't you glad we're together in this?
25:57We are.
26:09You don't want to get in here, do you?
26:12Abiotic Factor is set to emerge
26:14from an inter-dimensional portal
26:16sometime in 2023.
26:18We're moving now into the shooter segment
26:20of our action suite
26:21to see where we'll be setting
26:22our simulated sites in the new year.
26:24Here's Imogen with a host of games
26:26that run the gunplay gamut.
26:31Bad news, Frankie.
26:32The rich have destroyed Earth
26:34and colonized Mars.
26:35The good news is that you can,
26:37as always, steal their stuff.
26:39In Hyenas, you and your pack
26:41will fight cloned security forces
26:43and rival players in zero-gravity shootouts
26:45using environment-altering abilities
26:47to plunder priceless pop culture relics.
26:51I said stop playing with the merch
26:53and move!
26:55Gunbarella.
26:56Gunbarella.
26:57Gunbarella is a rust-colored
26:59metroidvania fit for a rainy day.
27:01Your Gunbarella isn't just a weapon.
27:04It's a bullet shield and traversal tool,
27:06letting you defect enemy shots
27:08and slide across ziplines.
27:10With your trusty lead-pumping parasol,
27:12side-scroll your way through a quest
27:14of revenge and corporate exploitation.
27:17And you'd get Zeroceiver,
27:19scavenged for loot in a tense post-apocalypse
27:21to mod your guns and upgrade your base
27:23if you manage to survive the bandits
27:25and mutant wildlife.
27:31Up next.
27:35I think I remember that one.
27:36Yes, I remember that gun.
27:39Okay.
27:40Compared to what we just saw,
27:41this next game appears to be a bit more
27:43Okay.
27:44Compared to what we just saw,
27:45this next game about alien encounters
27:47is much less endearing.
27:49It's a Death Stranding-style apocalypse
27:51by way of cosmic horror from Netease.
27:5430 years after it brought humanity
27:56to the edge of extinction,
27:57you'll wield a supernatural substance
27:59to reclaim an infested Earth
28:01in this open-world survival shooter.
28:03This is Once Human.
28:06Once Human?
28:09This is the LEA Institute.
28:10All controls are held.
28:11All controls are held.
28:12All controls are held.
28:13Everywhere.
28:14Requesting backup.
28:15Stay away from the door.
28:18Oh, I think I remember this one.
28:22I think this one's bad.
28:23Yeah, skip.
28:32Yeah.
28:33That one's bad.
28:34I remembered it now.
28:36I could use a break from the bullets.
28:38And we are in luck
28:40because it looks like Valheim
28:41is about to get some fighting competition.
28:44In Asgard,
28:45you and your friends
28:46will oversee a Norse tribe's survival
28:47in a hostile world.
28:49Manage your settlement's needs
28:50and industries
28:51before commanding your villagers
28:52in sailing expeditions
28:53across ever-changing seas.
28:57A world premiere!
29:01Yeah, she's a happy girl.
29:10Remember.
29:13Remember the rage of the sea.
29:20Remember the light in the darkness.
29:26And when the dead winter comes,
29:30remember those
29:35who never sleep.
29:41New York.
29:43New York.
29:44Asgard.
29:48Encounters have you.
29:55This might come as a surprise,
29:57but there are a lot of games
29:58about hitting things with swords.
30:002023 brings an armory's worth
30:02of options for sharpening your swordcraft
30:04in haunted graveyards
30:05and galaxies far, far away.
30:08Imogen?
30:10Chill.
30:12Lycanville is a fast-paced...
30:14Hey, puppy, we're trying to watch this thing.
30:15Jedi Survivor.
30:20The first Star Wars of souls-like.
30:22Jedi Survivor finds
30:23Pal Kestin invading the Empire's
30:25as they track him across the galaxy.
30:27Expect plenty of lightsaber action
30:29and, if we're lucky,
30:31more collectible ponchos.
30:3689 days ago,
30:37I lost contact with Earth.
30:39We regret to report
30:40that the moon is, in fact, haunted.
30:42In Moon Mystery,
30:43uncover the secret history
30:44behind past lunar missions
30:46in a universe-spanning investigation.
30:48And bring a gun.
30:49It's not just low-gravity puzzles out here.
30:52I don't know if I'm going to get it back.
30:55Can't get nothing back?
30:58Hunt the Night asks an important question.
31:00What if Link to the Past
31:01got bitten by a werewolf
31:02and turned into Bloodborne?
31:04The answer is a top-down,
31:06fast-paced action game
31:07where you take beast-hunting contracts
31:09to face bullet-held boss fights.
31:11Uncover an accursed world's dark lore
31:13and upgrade your arsenal
31:14to suit your hunting style.
31:17And that's everything I have for now.
31:19But before we go back to Frankie,
31:21here's a look at what
31:22Call of Duty looks like
31:23on an Intel-powered PC.
31:26Interesting.
31:27Well, we're in our top duty game now.
31:38Warzone 2.0.
31:43This last game seemed a little light on loot.
31:45You're in for a treat.
31:46Because in Superfuse,
31:47your comic-style carnage
31:48will earn Diablo-level piles of loot drops.
31:51But the real treasures here
31:53are with your superpowers.
31:54With each ability's own modular skill tree,
31:57you can turn a humble fireball
31:59into a splitting, exploding screen-clearer.
32:01You can?
32:03What?
32:04What?
32:16There's actually Twitch.
32:19We just won old-fashioned fisticuffs.
32:21And Clash Artifacts of Chaos
32:22is a gorgeous and grotesque
32:24thievery of martial arts action.
32:26In the punk-fantasy world
32:27of reclusive warrior pseudo,
32:29a sacred dice game could make
32:31your next fistfight easier.
32:33But losing might mean
32:34your mutant moose opponent
32:36gets a new teammate.
32:38Let's take a look.
33:04My brother?
33:06But he doesn't want to see me.
33:08All right, now.
33:09I'll take you somewhere safe.
33:11That's it.
33:12Gemini is expecting you.
33:14I assume you're here about the boy.
33:16We need the boy.
33:18I need the child alive.
33:20If he's dead, he can't help me.
33:22You mean...
33:23Gemini has the artifact of pain.
33:26And she can use it
33:28even if she doesn't win the game of dice.
33:31Imagine the power she has
33:33to threaten anyone with that.
33:36So why is old Gemini so keen
33:38on getting her hands on you?
33:40I'm cursed.
33:42That's why Grandpa is dead.
33:44That's why my brother hates me.
33:46There's been enough gong show requests, so...
33:50Eagle Law.
33:55Weird fists will fly
33:56when Clash Artifacts of Chaos
33:58releases on February 9th, 2023.
34:01Next on the list is the latest adventure
34:03in Amplitude Studios' Endless Universe.
34:05Marooned in the aftermath of a sci-fi shipwreck,
34:08you'll juggle a squad of castaways
34:10in this action-rogue-like
34:11or split-control duties in co-op
34:13as you fight room by room for survival.
34:16Here's the new trailer for Endless Dungeon.
34:18Oh, yeah. Sega makes us.
34:21Sega.
34:22You?
34:23Nah.
34:25You don't have what it takes.
34:28Dude, hold on.
34:32Yeah, the dungeon is a real downer.
34:35And getting eaten so often
34:37crushes my vibe.
34:39But with a squad this rad,
34:42we've got what it takes.
34:44Zed's the grooviest.
34:46Bunker keeps us all safe.
34:48And Blaze makes things explode.
34:51Yay.
34:52We are one...
34:54Oh, wait.
34:56Groovy.
34:57Happy family.
34:58Pew, pew, pew, pew.
35:00Oh, ah.
35:02No.
35:04Take that.
35:06Oh.
35:08That's me.
35:10Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew.
35:12Oh, that's a good strategy.
35:14Pew.
35:15Oh, sorry.
35:16Hope that didn't hurt.
35:20Our action block is over.
35:22But before we move on,
35:24let's see what's in the works
35:25at the home of Joppa.
35:27Here's an early look
35:28at upcoming projects from Valve.
35:30Back to Half-Life?
35:33Oh, hi.
35:34Steam Deck has had an exciting year
35:35and we have so much more to come in 2023.
35:38We started shipping this powerful,
35:39handheld PC gaming device
35:41back in February of this year.
35:43And despite the fact the delivery guy we hired
35:45wasn't very fast, sorry Gabe,
35:47we not only caught up to reservation holders,
35:50we increased production
35:51and are now in stock
35:52and shipping all over North America and Europe.
35:54And we're not done there.
35:55We just opened reservations in Japan,
35:57South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
36:00And with the help of Komodo,
36:01expect to start shipping there
36:02by the end of this year.
36:04We even had a booth at Tokyo Game Show
36:06so we could properly introduce ourselves
36:08under a giant Steam Deck.
36:09Pretty, isn't it?
36:11Our favorite part is seeing
36:12all the different ways people
36:13have been using their Steam Deck.
36:15From playing their Steam library on the go
36:17to using it as the powerful PC it is
36:19to do pretty much everything else.
36:21In fact, here's the dock
36:22we launched just last month.
36:24It's shipping now
36:25and lets you connect to a ton of peripherals.
36:27But don't worry,
36:28the work we did to support it
36:29means you can also use any USB hub
36:31or dock you want.
36:32In 2023, we're looking to continue
36:34shipping more and more Steam Decks
36:36and docks,
36:37and we're looking toward launching
36:38in more regions too.
36:39We'll also continue our work
36:40to get as many Steam titles
36:42verified on deck as possible.
36:44Now keep in mind,
36:45games don't need that green checkmark
36:46to run on deck,
36:47but we work with developers
36:48to verify games
36:49as basically a way to communicate
36:51with you,
36:52which ones we know for sure
36:53run super well.
36:54Over 6,000 titles are already
36:56verified or playable
36:57and that list is growing by the day
36:59and will continue to
37:00well into 2023 and beyond.
37:02So essentially,
37:03this represents everything
37:04we're about,
37:05continuing to make PC gaming
37:07as powerful and accessible as possible
37:09to as many different kinds of gamers
37:11as we can,
37:12all while continuing to push
37:13that technology forward
37:14for players and the industry
37:16as a whole.
37:17So there's a lot more to come.
37:18We have so much planned
37:19with Steam Deck for 2023
37:20and well into the future.
37:22And don't worry,
37:23we're going to go ahead
37:24and leave the delivery
37:25up to the professionals.
37:29Steam Deck is something
37:30I plan on probably next year.
37:33Before we march on
37:34towards next year's
37:35strategy game selection,
37:36this is a perfect opportunity
37:38to pack in a few more previews.
37:40Just ahead,
37:41Imogen's brought up
37:42an unconventional pairing
37:43for your appraisal.
37:44A miniature Metroidvania
37:46and a dreadful team adventure.
37:48Metroidvania?
37:52Biogun is what you'd expect
37:54from a Metroidvania.
37:55Assuming your expectations
37:56include a vaccine hero
37:58made of pig DNA
37:59and a medicine gun.
38:01Save a sick dog's life
38:02by blasting viruses
38:03across a microscopic
38:04expanse of organs.
38:06Explore to unlock
38:07abilities and upgrades
38:08and even find some
38:09delightful hats along the way.
38:11Don't ask how they got there.
38:15Oh.
38:16Come here, man.
38:19Despite how it might look
38:20in Biogun,
38:21facing our inner turmoil
38:22isn't terribly exciting
38:24for most of us.
38:25But others,
38:26like little Griffin,
38:27are lucky enough to face
38:28their inner fears
38:29on a magical journey
38:30with a living teddy bear.
38:31In Daydream Forgotten Sorrow,
38:33you'll join Griffin
38:34and Burly the bear
38:35on a dreamlike
38:36puzzle-solving adventure.
38:38Speaking of Frankie,
38:39what else is on the way
38:40for us to daydream over?
38:44Apologies to Griffin,
38:46Apologies to Griffin,
38:47but we can't dally around
38:48for any daydreaming.
38:49We still have a lot of games
38:51in today's lineup
38:52and our time's only
38:53getting shorter.
38:54I think it's time
38:55to stretch the speed
38:56running muscles.
38:57Don't you?
38:58Grab a fresh set of stakes,
38:59keep your kryptonite handy
39:00and strap in.
39:01Here's another volley
39:02of 2023 creepies.
39:15Vampire is also close.
39:24Glimmer and Mirror.
39:34Arc.
39:42Hey, it's Vendeecel.
39:43Vendeecel and Arc.
39:45Dwarf.
39:46Fortress.
39:49Marnie.
39:51Hollow Knight.
39:52Silph Knight.
40:01Star Trek Resurgence.
40:04I enlisted because
40:05I didn't want to wait
40:06for years just to get out
40:07and see the galaxy.
40:08I wanted to go somewhere.
40:11Battlefield.
40:12The Master.
40:13I hope the Star Trek
40:14comes across.
40:20Dredge.
40:31Dredge Ball.
40:36If I have to be stuck
40:37on an island full of vampires,
40:39I'm glad it's with y'all.
40:41Carlton.
40:44Carlton.
40:52516.
41:02Oh, Suicide Squad.
41:03That's what
41:04Kryptonite is.
41:15I guess you itch, princess.
41:19In our next block of previews,
41:20think of us as your scouting units,
41:22clearing the fog of war
41:23over your strategy gaming future.
41:25From the up-close tension
41:26of tactics games
41:27to the sweeping scope
41:28of brand strategy,
41:292023 is set to be
41:30a promising year
41:31for city builders
41:32and Battlefield commanders alike.
41:34Turn-based tacticians
41:35on the other hand
41:36are going to need
41:37a lot of time
41:38to prepare for the new year.
41:39They're going to need
41:40a lot of time
41:41to prepare for the new year.
41:42They're going to need
41:43a lot of time
41:44to prepare for the new year.
41:45Turn-based tacticians
41:46aren't the only ones
41:47with reasons for excitement.
41:48With exciting new offerings
41:49joining the return
41:50of some big names
41:51in the RTS genre,
41:52we're poised to enter
41:53a renaissance
41:54in real-time strategy.
41:55We'll begin our deployment
41:56with a new take
41:57on the war-to-end
41:58all-wars from Petroglyph Games,
41:59the studio behind
42:00Command & Conquer Remastered.
42:041914.
42:05The world is pulled into a war
42:07like none ever seen,
42:09and Europe is divided.
42:11From the Belgium coast
42:12to the borders of Switzerland,
42:13two distinct alliances emerge.
42:16Now, experience the Great War
42:18like never before.
42:22Lead the allied nations
42:23to victory,
42:24or command the central powers
42:26and relive or redefine
42:28the course of history.
42:29Acting as field
42:30and theater commander,
42:32lead your forces
42:33with both a tactical
42:34and strategic mindset,
42:36each turn representative
42:38of a month.
42:39Troops can be sent
42:40across the continent
42:41to build forces
42:42ready to strike.
42:43But, whilst making
42:44one territory stronger,
42:46doing so may leave
42:47another vulnerable to attack.
42:51Meet objectives,
42:52make tough decisions,
42:54and face historic events
42:55to lead your faction
42:57along the right path.
42:59Choices between
43:00inspiring your nation
43:01or building your resources
43:03will define you
43:04and the war.
43:07With six different branches
43:08to research,
43:09you choose
43:10how this war is fought
43:12through advanced engineering,
43:14improved trench warfare,
43:15and even flight.
43:17Turtle victory
43:18at the tactical level
43:20brings your faction
43:21one step closer
43:22to pushing back
43:23the Western Front.
43:25But in a war of inches,
43:26the victory falls
43:27in the margins.
43:29Even minor success in battle
43:31holds great merit
43:32in the grand strategy,
43:34dampening your opponent's
43:35national will
43:36and tipping the scales of war.
43:39Reach success
43:40by chipping away
43:41at their will
43:42to fight
43:43or attempt
43:44what history could not,
43:45seize the German headquarters,
43:48infiltrate the French capital,
43:50step into the shoes
43:51of a commander,
43:53face one of the most
43:54significant wars
43:55of our time,
43:56and choose
43:57to relive history
43:59or redefine it.
44:05Relive history
44:06when the Great War
44:07Western Front releases
44:08in 2023.
44:10Up next,
44:11we'll take a tactical turn
44:12as our strategy segment
44:13goes turn-based.
44:14From superhero squad battlers
44:15to extraterrestrial tactics,
44:17here's a selection
44:18of upcoming squad battlers
44:19and a spiritual sequel
44:20to Heroes of Might and Magic.
44:22Heroes of Might and Magic,
44:23really?
44:24Heaps.
44:26Next month's
44:27Midnight Suns
44:28might be going
44:29the deck-building route,
44:30but Spitfire Interactive
44:31is keeping closer
44:32to the XCOM model
44:33with its superhero

44:43their own unique power set
44:44and play style.
44:45With careful positioning,
44:46you can blend
44:47your super team's powers
44:48to create potent
44:49new attacks.
44:50And as your heroes
44:51improve,

44:53choosing upgrades
44:54to suit your tactics.
44:55Start saving up

45:05might we suggest
45:06Xenonauts 2.

45:50flavour,
45:51don't fret.

45:55in a few years,
45:56developer Lava Potion
45:57is happy to pick
45:58up the ball.

46:19Swiss army knife.

46:21sim, part action RPG,
46:22Cygnus will see you
46:23leading every step
46:24of your alien
46:25outpost's defence,
46:26from the small scale
46:27to the big picture.
46:35Welcome to Cygnus
46:36Enterprises,
46:37Contractor.
46:41We are the galaxy's
46:42leading space
46:43exploration megacorporation.
46:47You have been tasked
46:48to restore our
46:49facilities on Nautilus
46:50to a productive
46:51and profitable state.
46:53Now, let's get to work.
46:55Get to work.
47:18Remember,
47:20the company is here
47:21to support you.
47:25Just in case things
47:26go wrong.
47:27Got it.
47:28Let's go.
47:33But enough about you.
47:35Let's talk about me.
47:36I'll make sure my
47:37staff pays their
47:38fair share to use
47:39your facilities.
47:41Opulence comes at
47:42a price after all.
47:43Any future visitors
47:44that stay at one
47:45of these doors
47:46will net you some
47:47well-deserved credits too.
47:49Time to test out
47:50the new upgrades.
47:56If you're hearing this
47:59and we've failed,
48:03please finish
48:04what we started.
48:13This is bigger than
48:14any of us could have
48:15imagined.
48:17It's time to
48:18get to work.
48:20It's time to
48:21get to work.
48:23It's time to
48:24finish
48:25what any
48:26of us could
48:27have imagined.
48:30Interesting.
48:32Make sure Cygnus
48:33is on your wish list
48:34before it enters
48:35early access on
48:36December 16th.
48:38Don't relinquish
48:39command just yet.
48:40There's still plenty
48:41to see in our
48:42celebration of strategy.
48:44We're heading back
48:45out to the field
48:46with Imogen
48:47for two games
48:48with very different
48:49kinds of command
48:50and a check-in
48:51on the eagerly
48:52awaited sequel
48:53of a rabbit soldiers rise from disgrace in untamed tactics.
48:57Smart positioning will make the most of your animal comrades and their abilities,
49:01while your parley deck lets you engage in battlefield diplomacy to change the flow of combat.
49:07Unlockable characters, upgrades and equipment offer options to customize your roster.
49:14Listen up logistics lovers, in this supply chain strategy game there are no losses or
49:19penalties to get between you and the wild rush of resource management.
49:25Fulfill your flowchart fantasy in Masterplan Tycoon, coming in Q1 2023.
49:37Men of War 2 marches on. Even despite wartime delays,
49:41Ukrainian developer Bestway will release the sequel to its acclaimed World War 2 RTS
49:46in 2023. Direct combined air, armor and infantry forces will cross both the western and eastern
49:53fronts and use direct control to take full command of any unit on the battlefield.
49:58Frankie, what's left on the agenda?
50:04If balancing the supply chain in Masterplan Tycoon was a bit too benevolent for your tastes,
50:08you're in luck. Our next game is very much the opposite. It's a reimagining of a 2009 demonic
50:14cult classic, and sure to be a favorite for any aspiring archdemon. Here's a look at Sollium
50:20Infernum.
50:35Next, a settlement survival sim in the wreckage of a world ruined by climate change. As your
50:40band of survivors grows, you won't just be gathering resources and filling out your tech
50:44tree. You'll shape the laws of a new society and decide whether humanity's rebuilt world
50:49brings an age of equality or authority. Let's dive into Floodland.
51:11Icebergs are gonna melt and New York's gonna be underwater. I remember in the 80s it was,
51:17you know, oh by 2000 it's gonna be, by 2010, by 2020. None of that happened, ever.
51:22Well, you see, they're slowly melting. They're taking their short time.
51:26Yeah, but they predicted it, and they predicted it wrong. They're wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong,
51:31wrong, and they just keep moving in and out. Oh, it'll be 2015 now. When they're wrong,
51:36they're never held accountable. Hey, you said this and this and this and this are wrong all
51:42these times. Why should we listen to you? Well, the Arctic's always cold. So is the place in
51:46Russia. Because on the west side, it's still cold. Just saying. I remember when I was a kid,
51:53oh, we're gonna have a new ice age, global cooling. Floodland is available now on PC.
51:59Now they just say climate change. The last entry in our strategy lineup is a spin-off
52:03from a massive free-to-play shooter. In Crossfire's isometric RTS, choose your own
52:08unit selection and bring your custom army composition into campaign missions, co-op
52:12scenarios, and competitive battles. Here's the latest from Crossfire Legion.
52:17Fudging the numbers to claim we're gonna have all these climate problems. They fake the numbers to
52:25say something. They got caught. People investigate like, wait, this doesn't add up. Oh, well,
52:33here we are. We are now ready to go over the top for the launch release.
52:43We are deploying a plethora of new content.
52:47Still frozen. Optimizing and refreshing the battlefield, along with the final act of our
52:53campaign.
53:12We've reached our final phase and we're closing out our show today with some heavy hitters.
53:16As we charge forth into the new year, these are the games we've pinned our highest hopes on to.
53:21Here are our six most wanted games for 2023.
53:31At the number six slot in our most wanted list is The Finals, the upcoming free-to-play FPS that
53:36wowed crowds and critics with its reveal in August. A project from ex-battlefield devs,
53:40it's no surprise that The Finals features some eye-popping environmental destruction,
53:45promising a wealth of tactical options for those who can wield the map itself as a weapon.
53:49The physics-based play box doesn't end at dropping a building on your enemies.
53:53Tools like glue cannons and expandable bone canisters let you enter the battlefield even
53:58as you tear it apart. With its dynamic environment tech, The Finals is making a big promise.
54:04Thanks to the developers of the acclaimed Divinity Original Sin games, we'll be adventuring
54:16in the Forgotten Realms once more. After three years in early access, Baldur's Gate 3 will
54:21release in 2023, adding a new entry to one of the most beloved RPG series ever made.
54:27Play the story as a pre-made origin character or combat the mind-flayer maze as your own
54:32hand-crafted hero. The rich worlds of Divinity join with the D&D 5e-inspired combat,
54:37allowing intricate gameplay interactions between your abilities and the environment
54:40both in and out of battle. Join up to three friends on adventure together or split the
54:45party and independently chase your own questlines. The future of the Forgotten Realms is yours to
54:50decide when Baldur's Gate 3 releases next year. You can sell a beautiful dream like Bethesda,
55:02and what dream is better than a sweeping expanse of sci-fi adventure,
55:05a skyrim on a galactic scale explored in your own self-built spaceship?
55:14Of course, in making those dreams into reality, the studio is just as renowned for stumbling as
55:19it is for succeeding. It's with giddy dread that we ask, what might Bethesda's trademark
55:25jankiness look like when it's stretched across 1,000 simulated planets? Make no mistake,
55:30we're as eager as anyone to get our hands on Starfield when it arrives in 2023.
55:35And if Skyrim is anything to measure by, we'll probably be playing it for a decade afterwards.
55:46As we enter the top three on our most wanted list,
55:48we're dipping into the diabolical with Diablo 4.
56:00Except to make a comeback, it's crime time for Relic's acclaimed World War
56:042 series to redeploy for the Mediterranean Theater in Company of Heroes 3. The sequel's
56:08Italian campaign will offer a turn-based total war style grand strategy between real-time battles
56:14with a dynamic campaign map ensuring you won't fight the same war twice. Meanwhile,
56:18the North African campaign provides the traditional RTS campaign experience
56:22with linear cinematic battles. Using army customization options, craft your ideal
56:27fighting force by reinforcing your units with specialists from allied nations. Your battles
56:31will take a toll on the terrain as you fight, with dynamic battlefield damage constantly reshaping
56:36the map with new cover points. And a tactical pause system will let you queue orders for your
56:41units so you can command at your own pace. We don't have long to wait. Company of Heroes 3
56:47makes landfall on February 23rd, 2023.
56:57At the prize slot in our most wanted list, a sci-fi classic returns after nearly 20 years
57:02in the making. For a new RTS renaissance, we couldn't ask for a better flagship than Homeworld
57:073. With modern tech, Homeworld's spaceship tactics are reimagined in a truly gorgeous
57:12fleet battle ballet, bolstered by the tactical opportunities offered in fully 3D battle spaces.
57:29The drifting hulks of massive space derelicts provide a wealth of strategic openings for a
57:34clever commander to outmaneuver enemy forces. Unleash a surprise attack with a destroyer
57:39hidden beneath drifting armor plating, or flank the enemy unseen with a strike craft trench run.
57:45Outside standard PvP skirmishes, commanders will find plenty of battles to fight beyond the
57:50campaign, thanks to the addition of a new repeatable roguelike co-op mode.
57:54Homeworld 3's long-awaited return is set for the first half of 2023.
58:01Well, weary travelers, it's time for us to draw the curtain on our crystal orb and turn our eyes
58:05back to the present. But don't worry, if any of those 60 or so games caught your fancy, whether
58:11one of the relived Half-Lives or the Handful of Warhammers, you can wishlist them all over on our
58:15Steam page right now. After all, the future's only moments away. I've been Frankie Ward, and you've
58:22been watching the PC Gaming Show 2023 preview, and we're thanking you for being here. Take care,
58:28and we'll see you next year.
58:36Overall, eh, it was okay. Not bad.
58:38I'm gonna take a quick bathroom break, and we're gonna get to our next one.
59:05you
