UNCHARTED: LEGACY OF THIEVES
COLLECTION - REMASTERED
Step into the boots of treasure hunting superstar Nathan Drake
once again, this time natively on the PS5, using all of the console’s
bells and whistles. This welcome compilation of previous singleplayer adventures brings us two series classics, in Uncharted 4: A
Thief’s End, as well as antagonist-turned-ally Chloe Frazer starring
in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Three graphics modes will keep
everybody happy, with options including stunning 4K at 30fps and
smooth-as 120fps at 1080p resolution.

TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX EXTRACTION
POKÉMON LEGENDS: ARCEUS
They came from space in a meteor, and they sure ain’t
friendly! They’re the Archaens, they’re parasites, and we
need to obliterate them! Players will join the REACT team,
assembling a one to three-player squad of operators from
a pool of 18 and level them up to take on the icky scourge
in 12 maps set in four different US regions. In a very cool
move, Ubisoft have
promised full crossplay, cross-save and
cross-progression
between formats.
SHOOTER
MULTIPLAYER
The Pokémon world takeover continues apace, with
this latest action meets RPG entry in the long-running
franchise. A totally new game rather than an update of a
classic, prepare for a blend of action and exploration in
the early days of the Sinnoh region, with the RPG roots of
the Pokémon series still shining through. There’s set to be
plenty of classic
Pokémon Poké
Ball catching - and
tossing your ally’s
Poké Ball near wild
Pokémon to join in
the battle, too!
ACTION RPG

CRICKET 22
MULTIPLAYER
Would you get by in a post-apocalyptic future? Now’s your
chance to have a practice run – not that we hope such a
thing ever eventuates, but being prepared isn’t a bad thing,
right? With scarce resources you’re tasked with constructing
the ultimate disaster-proof colony, protecting your colonists
and restoring civilisation to a world that’s been devastated.
With six biomes,
80-plus specialists
and many a moral
choice to make,
good luck surviving!

SURVIVING THE AFTERMATH
This “Official Game of The Ashes” is the follow-up to the
Aussie-developed Cricket 19, and is now set to finally
deliver a bunch of new things to Switch that are shinier
than a brand-new Kookaburra ball. On top of playing the
venerable Ashes series, face up at the crease to everything
from the Big Bash to overseas competitions, featuring
licensed teams from
Australia, England,
The West Indies,
New Zealand and
Ireland. Plus, both
women’s and men’s
competitions feature.
