Sunderfolk, a four-player co-op turn-based RPG, is looking like the next game to encourage folks to experience the joy of tabletop games. It sees players fight together through a story where every NPC and player choice is narrated by a game master, allowing a group of friends to party up for weekly game nights to play through a campaign together. Sunderfolk doesn't offer the same level of narrative freedom as a game like Baldur's Gate 3 (or playing an actual tabletop game with a real person as the game master); instead, it honors binary choices in a curated narrative. Even if that means Sunderfolk's game master is technically always railroading the players (a major faux pas in the tabletop community), I still think this feature sounds incredibly cool, potentially doing enough to still emulate what it's like to play in a story-driven tabletop campaign with your friends.In Sunderfolk, each player can pick from six different classes: the spell-slinging Arcanist, support-focused Bard, frontline fighter Berserker, area-of-effect specialist Pyromancer, sharpshooter Ranger, and slippery Rogue. You play as the titular Sunderfolk, anthropomorphic animals who reside in the Sunderlands, which have come under attack by the corrupting influence of shadowstones. You can play Sunderfolk with everyone in person or virtually with some or all players in different locations. While the action happens on one TV or computer screen (meaning someone will have to stream the game if you're playing virtually), each player interacts with their phone (sort of like a Jackbox Party game), allowing you to dictate what your character does next from anywhere.Sunderfolk allows you to play through a tabletop campaign with friends.Sunderfolk uses its own system, but it's built on the backbone of existing tabletop games. "The game that had the biggest inspiration on us, gameplay-wise--I think even some of the audience has kind of seen it in the way that the game plays out--is Gloomhaven, which is a board game. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven are kind of our biggest inspirations," game director Erin Marek told me.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Eagle-eyed gamers online believe they have identified all the main cast members in Naughty Dog's upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. While very little is known about the game so far, most of these actors who make an appearance in the Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer are unmistakable.

In 2020, Sucker Punch released Ghost of Tsushima, an ambitious samurai-themed game set in 13th-century Japan. Demonstrating a mastery of open-world design stemming from multiple Infamous projects, the PlayStation studio put together arguably the genre's most visually impressive project on the PS4, with the only exception being perhaps Red Dead Redemption 2 (and "perhaps" is the key phrase). Over the next few years, a multiplayer mode, expansion, PS5 Director's Cut, and PC port followed, cementing GoT as one of the most well-rounded historical epics on the market. Games like Ghost of Tsushima do not come around often, and reports of a sequel are mostly just rumors at this point.

Hi, Im Jesus Iglesias, game director here at Saber Interactive. We recently revealed that our upcoming title Turok: Origins is coming to PS5, so we gathered some burning questions around the fresh announcement. Im excited to share additional details on the upcoming release of Turok: Origins with PlayStation Blog.Play VideoCan you talk more about third person and why you decided to take that route?Were all big fans of the previous games and the franchise overall. But ultimately we wanted to explore a different direction from the previous Turok titles. Saber has a rich history of making third-person shooters and our experience in that space gives us a unique opportunity to evolve the franchise while keeping familiar elements that make for a great Turok experience. Weve created a fresh take on the classic Turok franchise that fans both old and new will enjoy.Whats your perspective on the history of the Turok franchise?Traditionally, Turok is a very eclectic franchise, mixing elements as diverse as dinosaurs, aliens, and robots. We feel we have begun a new chapter for the franchise with Turok: Origins.How does Turok: Origins fit in the Turok lore?Turok: Origins fits seamlessly into the Turok universe as the legendary Turok Warriors unite to save humanity from an aggressive alien species and total annihilation. As the story unfolds, players will discover ancient mysteries that tie into the Order of the Turok and its history.Why do you think the appreciation for Turok has been so enduring?We believe it has a little something for everyone, fitting very well into the imaginations of players who like to explore strange, fantastic worlds throughout the universe, adventuring around new planets, new creatures and enemies and of course, fighting dinosaurs.What are some of the most exciting challenges and opportunities in bringing Turok back to a modern age?The challenges with bringing Turok back are similar to those we face with any major project. The gaming market is very competitive, and there are always new and interesting things we need to be ready for. But we see Turok as a very exciting opportunity because it has such a strong legacy with unique features that make it stand out with the dinosaurs, aliens, action, and exploration.Should players have played the original Turok to enjoy/understand this one?Players do not need to have played previous Turok games to understand and appreciate Turok: Origins. This is an all-new, stand-alone adventure.Why does Turok: Origins include co-op instead of just being a single-player experience?While Turok: Origins can definitely be enjoyed as a single-player experience, we also wanted to make a game that friends can experience together. Since the story ties into the lore and history of the Order of the Turok and features more than one Turok, we saw it as an opportunity to introduce co-op to the franchise.Stay tuned for updates on Turok: Origins, coming to PS5.
