It was just confirmed that Crysis 2 will not be released until March 22, 2011, but that shouldn’t stop you from being justifiably excited by the first glimpse at the multiplayer side of the game, that Crytek just released at Gamescon.

Below is a video of the multiplayer gameplay, thanks to Filefront. Beyond the look and a few neat tricks like the invisibility, we still don’t know much about this side of the game. It will offer 6 game modes, 80 ranks to work your way up through, 12 NYC locations, and 60 nanosuit upgrades. Other than that it is all guesswork.

Check out the trailer below and then prepare for a long, impatient wait until we actually have this game in our hands.

Ubisoft opened up its The Crew Showcase on Tuesday with an important update about the future of the racing franchise. In response to fan outcry after The Crew 1 was rendered unplayable in March, the company promised to keep the current titles playable, even in a future where they get taken offline.

"We want to acknowledge that some of you voiced concern about the access to The Crew games,” Stéphane Beleym, managing studio director on The Crew, said during the presentation. "Today, we want to express our commitment to the future of The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest."

Remnant 2’s new free mode remixes the shooter’s best moments

A boss players can fight in Remnant II's boss rush mode.

Remnant 2 will get its final paid DLC on September 24, but there's something to look forward to even if you don't plan on buying its DLC. On that same day, Gunfire Games and Arc Games will release a free update for Remnant 2 that adds a Boss Rush mode.

If you've played Remnant 2, you know that the boss fights are the best moments of the experience. The procedurally generated campaigns of this Souls-inspired third-person shooter are always at their best when players encounter one of its creatively designed bosses. While bosses in shooters can be button-spongey affairs, each Remnant 2 boss twists the core gameplay loop up and keeps players thinking on the fly. A mode where players can fight the game's bosses back-to-back sounds particularly enticing.

Is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 cross-platform?

warhammer 40000 space marine 2 how long to beat campaign

When the Emperor calls on you to face down the endless onslaught of Tyranid forces, he doesn't expect you to go alone. Sure, you are a nearly unkillable Space Marine, but even you will need backup on this mission in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The campaign isn't all that long, though it's more than bloody enough to be satisfying. And replaying missions with friends or jumping into the Operations mode keeps the violence coming. If you fancy yourself a particularly deadly marine, you can even go into PvP.

Clearly, this game was not meant to be played alone, especially not if you want all the Trophies and Achievements — but does it make the list of all cross-platform games?
