"Warmind" sends guardians to Mars for the second expansion of "Destiny 2" as Golden Age satellites crash into the Hellas Basin on Mars, accidentally exposing the core of the Warmind Rasputin. As expected from Bungie, there will be new activities, end-game content, and a ton of new weapons of gear to collect on top of an all-new story.
2. "Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire"
"Pillars of Eternity" takes its success to another level with a new sequel that takes players through the Deadfire Archipelago.
It's a welcome break from the single landmass that is the first "Pillars of Eternity," as Obsidian adds plenty of islands and side quests to explore this time around. Another first for the series is the new ship-to-ship combat mechanics and even more spells and abilities for this crowdfunded RPG sequel.
3. "Conan Exiles"
"Conan Exiles" has been set to come out of Early Access for the PC and Game Preview for the Xbox One, as Funcom announced the official launch of the retail version of the game as early as December last year.
There are some pricing changes with the official launch this Tuesday, May 8, to consider as well. "Conan Exiles" for the PC is now $40, while the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions will be $50, as VG 247 explained.
4. "One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition"
The latest "One Piece" action game from KOEI Tecmo and Bandai Namco is now headed to the Switch, and it will drop anchor on Nintendo's hybrid console this Friday, May 11.
It's got most of the updates, too, as "One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 Deluxe Edition" comes with over 40 pieces of DLC included out of the box.
