New video games released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PC: All about Valor Mortis, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Gears of War: E-Day, Forever Ago

New video games have arrived and gamers are gearing up to play these new games. New video games are available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, and PC. New video games included a new entry in the 'Castlevania' video game series, stylishly built war game, highly anticipated game "Gears of War: E-Day", and "Forever Ago".

Valor Mortis

William, the hero of “Valor Mortis,” takes the title (which means “the value of death”) a bit too literally. He has already died fighting for Napoleon, but somehow he has come back to life. That unholy resurrection gives William some wicked supernatural powers to go along with his slick swordplay. Meanwhile, Napoleon’s endless war has corrupted a broad chunk of 19th-century Europe, so hordes of “plague-ridden abominations” have joined the fight.


Polish studio One More Level, best known for the cyberpunk slasher “Ghostrunner,” promises demanding first-person combat in a haunted alternate history. Valor Mortis was released on Tuesday, October 13. The new arrival is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

While we’re messing around in France, let’s travel back in time to 1499 for “Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse.” A new protagonist, Rose Belmont, has inherited the mighty whip known as the Vampire Killer. Dracula has been defeated for good, but his castle has plunked itself down in Paris and all sorts of demons — not to mention Joan of Arc — are on the loose.

The 2D, side-scrolling action of Konami’s 1986 original has recently inspired dozens of imitators like “Dead Cells,” and the studios behind that cult hit have taken the reins here. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is being released on Thursday, October 15. Gamers can play the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch and PC.

Gears of War: E-Day

When Microsoft’s “Gears of War” debuted in 2006, humanity’s fight against the vicious Locust Horde was well underway. “Gears of War: E-Day” takes us back at long last to the Locusts’ emergence — that’s what the “E” stands for — on the planet Sera. Franchise heroes Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago are there for the eruption, and you can team up with a friend to take on the prequel storyline.

You can also join forces in co-op survival mode or enjoy competitive combat against other online teams. The campaign began on Tuesday, October 6 and the video game is available on Xbox X/S and PC.

Forever Ago

Annapurna Interactive has become a prominent advocate of small-scale, narrative-heavy games by switching focus with every release. May’s “Mixtape” was about three teenagers; “Forever Ago” stars a 70-something man named Alfred. To deal with a broken heart, he sets out on a road trip with his dog and his camera.

Indie studio Third Shift promises a tale that balances grief and regret with hope and new friendships. Forever Ago was released on Thursday, October 8. One can play the video game on Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S and PC.
