The core theme of Death Stranding 2, like the first game, revolves around connection and survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Director Hideo Kojima reworked the game’s script following the COVID-19 pandemic, which further shaped the narrative around living in isolation and reconnecting the world.

• Environmental catastrophe
• Human connection and empathy
• The struggle to see “Tomorrow”
• New forms of combat and exploration, with enhanced stealth mechanics and a larger arsenal for Sam

Release Date

The game launched worldwide on February 28, 2025. Due to time zones, PC players in some western regions, such as the US West Coast, were able to start playing on the evening of February 27, 2025. 

Theme and Key Details

The main theme of Monster Hunter Wilds revolves around an expedition into the “Forbidden Lands,” a harsh, uncharted area that has been isolated for a millennium. The story is more prominent than in previous entries, featuring an active player character and high-fidelity cutscenes. 

Key gameplay and theme details include:

• Seamless Open World: The game world is fully open with no loading screens between areas, a first for the series.
• Dynamic Seasons and Ecosystems: Locales cycle through distinct seasons (Plenty, Fallow, Inclemency) that dramatically change the landscape, available resources, and which monsters appear.
• Seikret Mount: Players use a rideable Bird Wyvern, the Seikret, for rapid traversal and even in-combat actions like weapon switching.
• Focus Mode and Wounding: New combat mechanics include “Focus Mode” for precise aiming and targeting weak spots, and “Wounding” which increases damage to specific monster parts that can eventually be broken for extra rewards.
• Expanded Multiplayer: The game supports crossplay across all platforms and features large lobbies for up to 100 players.
• Flagship Monster: The flagship monster of the game is Arkveld. 

PC System Requirements

For PC players, the game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system, an SSD for storage, and a broadband internet connection. 

Borderlands 4 has already been released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on September 12, 2025. The Nintendo Switch 2 version was released shortly after on October 3, 2025. The game is a first-person action role-playing looter shooter that features a new setting and story.

• PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S: September 12, 2025.
• Nintendo Switch 2: October 3, 2025. 

Theme and Story Details

The story of Borderlands 4 is set six years after the events of Borderlands 3 and takes place on the new planet of Kairos. Kairos is described as a “high-tech but lo-fi” setting, distinct from Pandora. 

• Plot: A new group of four Vault Hunters (Vex, Rafa, Amon, and Harlowe) must join a local resistance movement (the “Crimson Resistance,” started by Claptrap) to find the planet’s Vault and overthrow a ruthless dictator known as “The Timekeeper”. Another faction, “The Rippers,” led by the “Ripper Queen” Callis, also poses a major threat.
• Tone: The game aims for a more “grounded” and slightly darker tone compared to its predecessor, with the developers suggesting a departure from some of the series’ more off-color humor. 

Key Details and Gameplay

The game builds upon the core looter-shooter formula with new features and quality-of-life improvements. 

• New Features: The game introduces new movement and traversal abilities, including gliding, dodging, and fixed-point grappling, adding more verticality and skill expression to combat.
• Weapons and Gear: The game continues the franchise’s emphasis on a massive arsenal of “outrageous weaponry,” potentially featuring billions of unique guns.
• Endgame Content: The game features a comprehensive endgame experience with weekly challenge missions, unlockable Specializations, the return of Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode, and new Invincible Bosses. 

PC System Requirements

An SSD is required for both minimum and recommended specifications. 

The game requested is likely Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a historical action RPG. The original game was released in 2018, and a sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, was released in February 2025. 

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Release Date:
The original game was released on February 13, 2018, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A Nintendo Switch port followed on March 15, 2024. 

Theme:
The game is a historically authentic, single-player, first-person action RPG set in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia (part of the Holy Roman Empire) in 1403. It explicitly avoids magic, high fantasy, and mythical elements, focusing instead on realism and period-accurate content.
