Happy Wednesday! What games have you been playing this past week? I’ve been immersed in Life is Strange: Before the Storm episode 2 emotions since its release. After playing it twice and watching many playthroughs from different streamers, I’m impressed with its wealth of gameplay and dialogue choices.

Besides the heart-stirring development of Chloe and Rachel’s relationship, this latest episode gives supporting characters like Victoria, Steph, Drew, and Mikey more consequences based on your decisions. See for yourself:

Let us know in the comments and on Twitter what recent and upcoming games you’re excited about. Here’s some news and links on our radar this week:

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Few game announcements have been met with such universal excitement as Animal Crossing‘s latest game, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Pocket Camp will release in late November for iOS and Android.

You manage your own campsite, have your own camper RV, and a multiplayer feature lets you visit other people’s campsites. One feature that’s new to Animal Crossing is the Stardew Valley-like “friendship level” system, where certain interactions with local campers influence how often they visit you. Another new feature is you can adjust the skin tone of your character.

The game is currently testing in Australia. If you’re not in Australia, you can get Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp to work on iOS via a workaround.

New The Last of Us Part II trailer

Speaking of highly anticipated games, The Last of Us Part II just dropped a brand new trailer at Paris Games Week:

The trailer leaves us with so many questions! Who are all these new characters? Why is one called an “apostate?” Is this a flashback revealing Ellie’s mom? Where are Ellie and Joel?? There’s still no release date announced for The Last of Us Part II but we’ll keep you updated.
