Triangle Strategy – Trailer introduces the gameplay of the RPG
The full version of Triangle Strategy hasn’t even been released yet. The tactical role-playing game from Square Enix (Final Fantasy) will only be available on March 4th at a price of 59.99 euros.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 shows dramatic moments in the E3 story trailer
Unlike Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is not a typical representative of the series.

The story revolves around a mysterious egg that could hatch into a creature that will bring about the end of the world. In addition to the campaign, there is also local and online multiplayer. In the demo you can try out the beginning of the game. If you later decide to buy it, you can transfer the save to the full version.
