Last night was an exciting night for us at Nacon! We dropped 17 new trailers at this year\u2019s Nacon Connect, a mixture of new IP and iconic franchises meshing in a way that\u2019s hard to ignore, especially if you\u2019re interested in racing, strategy, \u201880s movies, Lord of the Rings, and more!<\/p>\n

But as we check out the future of the Nacon line-up, there\u2019s a huge Nacon publisher sale on right now with discounts on pretty much everything, including the recently released Vampire: The Masquerade \u2013 Swansong<\/em>.

\"Robocop<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Welcome to Detroit; crime runs rampant as the city lies on the edge of ruin, people fighting for scraps as others live extravagant lives of luxury. Control of the Detroit Police Department is given to the Omni Consumer Products corporation in an attempt to restore order. You are that solution, RoboCop, a cyborg tasked with protecting the city.<\/p>\n

The triumphant return of RoboCop wouldn\u2019t feel right without the man who brought so much life into the role, and we\u2019re excited to reveal that Peter Weller will be performing voiceover work on the game. Enjoy this first look at gameplay and for the record, \u201cdead or alive, you\u2019re coming with me!\u201d (Sorry, I had to.)<\/em><\/p>\n

And if all else fails, cheat your way to the top! After all, it\u2019s not Blood Bowl if you\u2019re not peeling bodies off the pitch.<\/p>\n

\"Ravenswatch<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a conference without some reveals, and the team at Passtech Games has been cooking up something special for those ready to answer the call of the Ravenswatch.<\/p>\n

This charming isometric action roguelike will let you battle through a world inspired by old folk tales and legends but revisited in a dark fantasy style and with its own unique flair. You can play solo or with up to 4 players as you look to banish the nightmares in the world of Reverie.<\/p>\n

Get Up to Speed on Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
\"Test<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

We also couldn\u2019t do a Nacon Connect without talking more about Test Drive Unlimited<\/em><\/strong>. Earlier this year, we announced that the game would be delayed into 2023, adjusting the scope and focusing entirely on the Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n

Your car and how you customize it is an extension of yourself. The two factions in Hong Kong, the Streets and Sharps live this, with an emphasis on style and culture uniquely their own, the ultimate goal being to carve that style into the streets of the city.<\/p>\n

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown<\/em><\/strong> will be coming to Xbox Series X|S in 2023.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Just a tease for the future<\/a>, but if you couldn\u2019t tell, we\u2019re big fans of \u201880s movies, and our team at Nacon Studio Milan is working on the first survival game set in the Terminator universe. I can\u2019t say much more for now, but this is definitely something to keep your eyes on.<\/p>\n

\n

That was quite a lot to get through, but these were just a few of the surprises revealed at last night\u2019s Nacon Connect. More upcoming games, new reveals, interviews with the developers, and a whole host of other goodies to check out on the official YouTube playlist here<\/a> and below:<\/p>\n
