Unfortunately for all the would-be Miles and Peter partnerships-in-waiting, there's no such luck, despite Miles himself making an odd gaff that it was actually a thing.
Some of you may not know, but long before we were slaying zombies in the fictional realms of Haran and Villedor in Techland's Dying Light series, the studio also released a first-person Western titled Call of Juarez.

This year marks 10 years since the last entry in that franchise, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, and to celebrate the fine folk at Techers are preparing an in-game event in Dying Light 2 Stay Human later this month you won't want to miss.

As an outright Souls-like, Lords of the Fallen from developer Hexworks has all the chops to take on FromSoftware literally at its own game(s).

Coming to both PC and Xbox this month, Evil Villain is a game that flips the script, literally. You play as a defeated final boss. Your abode has been claimed by the heroic err...

So what does the latest foray into that world spell for the greater world of gaming? Ummm... lots of work and school sickies, we reckon.

Today a new patch for the rocky (yet very good) Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was made available across all platforms with various fixes for each. As noted in our review experience, we had some dips in frame-rate but overall it was a solid and bug-free run, however, we and EA and Respawn are aware that it hasn't been all gravy for everyone.
With the success of Netflix's Drive to Survive series as well as the on-the-track battle for dominance in the ultra-competitive world of F1, it makes sense that the next chapter in Codemasters' F1 series, now published through the EA Sports label, would tap into that sort of energy.
