New Dune, Sonic games shown at Gamescom

A bunch of new games were shown off at Gamescom, including a new Dune and Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Gamescom, a yearly showcase featuring upcoming video games, is currently going on in Europe — and like every year, several new games were announced to be coming out in the next few months and years.

We’ve got a list of the biggest games announced, so if you’re looking to plan out your gaming schedule in the near future, check out the following games:

Lies of P

This Dark Souls-inspired game has you playing as Pinocchio, but definitely not the Disney version you may be familiar with.

As a mechanical puppet, you are tasked with finding Mr. Geppetto in a city overwhelmed with savage, mindless entities.

You’ll be engaging in Souls-like combat with a variety of weapons, ranging from magic via your mechanical arm, to oversized swords and mallets. Lies of P launches in 2023 on all platforms and is coming to Xbox Game Pass as well.

Sonic Frontiers

An open-world Sonic the Hedgehog game featuring a blend of classic and modern navigation, Sonic Frontiers places the heroic Sonic against an unknown threat of giant robots and digital beings. The trailer promises true open-world navigation as the fastest thing alive, alongside puzzles, collectables, and even friends to save. Sonic Frontiers launches November 8th, 2022.

The Callisto Protocol

A horror sci-fi shooter from the developers that brought you Dead Space, this game features a lot of core elements from Dead Space, including enemies that need their limbs to be shot off to be defeated, as well as mutating enemies that regrow if you can’t defeat them quick enough. It’s gory to say the least, so discretion is advised. The Callisto Protocol launches December 2, 2022 on all platforms.

Dune Awakening

Did you like the Dune movie? Like, enough to wish you could travel the sand-ridden world and fend off raiders? Dune Awakening lets you do just that, as an open-world survival MMO set in the Dune universe. While not much is truly know, a beta signup page is open, allowing you to register your interest. Dune Awakening has no launch date as of yet.

Gotham Knights

A third-person brawling game that has you playing as various Batman heroes, such as Batgirl, Red Hood, Nightwing and more, as you team up to save Gotham City. The latest trailer showcased the villains you’ll be going up against, with favourites like Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn and Clayface showing up to cause trouble. Gotham Knights launches October 21, 2022.

There were plenty of other announcements, so if you’re curious to see them all, definitely check out Gamescom’s home page for more.
