PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF
TIME REMAKE
Sands of Time is a platforming classic,
melding parkour-based movement with a
swashbuckling story. Ubisoft’s upcoming
remake offers an interpretation of that
game’s gameplay with shiny modern
rendering tech.

DRAGON BALL: THE BREAKERS
This bizarre asymmetric multiplayer game
takes cues from Dead By Daylight, having
one player adopt the role of a classic
Dragon Ball Z villain like Cell, who evolves
and grows in power while seven others
play as regular humans trying to hold out
till Goku arrives to save them.

f there’s one thing Destiny
players love more than
the game itself, it’s
complaining about
Destiny. Sometimes it’s just gamer
bluster, but often it’s a perfectly
understandable response to how
close Bungie can get to looter shooter
perfection and just miss the mark.
The Witch Queen promises a new
zone, the introduction of weapon
crafting, and a new glaive weapon
type. Hopefully I and the other baying
wolves of the Destiny community will
find what we’re looking for in Destiny
2 ’s fourth expansion.

DESTINY 2: THE


WITCH QUEEN


the first time since the Factions
expansion to the first Guild Wars
released in 2006. The plot will centre on
the lore of this isolated land, formerly
isolated from the rest of the world for
one hundred years, and prominently

features a great sea frozen into solid
jade by some mysterious magical force.
In addition to the new zone and story
content, End of Dragons is adding
further level 80 specialisation options to
each of its base professions. The one
that particularly caught my eye is the
samurai-like ‘Bladesworn’ specialisation
for Warriors, as it grants access to that
most essential of videogame weapons:
the gunsword. Melee in ranged in one –
nothing beats that.
We at PC Gamer are also very
excited for the new rocket-propelled
Siege Turtle mounts, truly wise and
fearsome companions for this
upcoming adventure. While Guild Wars
2 lacks the high profile of other MMOs
like Final Fantasy XIV or The Elder
Scrolls Online, it has maintained a
consistent and passionate player-base,
bolstered by regular updates between
its more infrequent expansion releases.
The launch of End of Dragons might be
the perfect time to jump back into the
world of Guild Wars 2 after a hiatus, or
even to jump in and give it a try for the
first time.
