The only thing scarier than zombified vacationers is the threat of never meeting more, and the streets of Los Angeles look set to provide the glamorous gore we've all been waiting for.

After years of will they won't they and my own dwindling trust in the restorative power of energy drinks, Dead Island 2 is back on the cards. RELATED: Destiny 2: Lightfall's Strand subclasses promise a 'higher skill ceiling' for APM fiends Between unknown powers in an unrecognizable world and long-awaited features, like in-game loadouts and a new Guardian Rank system, this could be Destiny 2's most innovative expansion to date. Lightfall's Neptunian city of Neomuna has cyberpunk environments with vibrance and splendor never seen in Destiny 2, and the latest Darkness subclass, Strand, is likewise a whole new breed of power for those skilled enough to wield it. Bungie seems to be leveraging this creative breathing room by continuing Destiny 2's Light and Darkness saga – the driving plot about the Witness and the long-obscured Darkness – and taking the MMO in some new aesthetic directions.

RELATED: Why Baldur's Gate 3 will bring the magic of D&D back to gaming in 2023Ģ022's The Witch Queen was in the unique position of being the first Destiny expansion to launch when the game didn't need some kind of dire fixing, which means Destiny 2 Lightfall is in the rare position of following up on that unhindered success. And after a pandemic that kickstarted a new affinity for tabletop roleplaying, my anticipation is at a fever-pitch. For my part, however, I've steered clear – after an early run through the launch content, I knew I wanted to wait to experience Faerun in full. That's a period of time that would be a death knell for many of the games trying to run the early access gauntlet, but Larian appears to have navigated it with ease, gradually expanding on its initial offering to inch ever-closer to the full D&D fantasy. Baldur's Gate 3 will have spent just under three years in early access by the time it launches in August. Having firmly established itself as the best CRPG developer around right now with Divinity: Original Sin 2, to see Larian turn its talents to the beloved D&D 5e ruleset and the acclaimed Baldur's Gate setting is a dream come true. Baldur's Gate 3 seems like the kind of heaven-made match between franchise and developer that I never thought I'd actually get to see.
