Every week, we get launch trailers, teaser trailers, character expose trailers, and more trailers than we actually understand what to do with. The majority of them are rather excellent, a few of them are rather unusual. The best of them are both.
So here’s a roundup of the videos that came by the transom at Polygon dot com today, varying from the long-awaited return of Baldur’s Gate to a very amusing and self-aware promotion for One Punch Man: A Hero No One Understands.

One Punch Man: A Hero No One Knows
Who: Spike Chunsoft/Bandai Namco
When and where: Feb. 28 (today) on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.
Why? Spike Chunsoft assures One Punch Man is a real battling game, not a parody, regardless of its goofy, self-aware tone and the titular character’s titular capability to send out anybody packaging with simply one punch. This trailer remarkably sends out up the category’s fetish for arrogant character introductions, and disrupts them all with however a single blow.
Sakura Wars
Who: Sega
When and Where: April 28 on PlayStation 4.
Why? Much like One Punch Man, Sakura Wars is quite an obtained collection of tastes. As a game, it’s an action-RPG/visual novel/dating simulation. As a story, it consists of the 1940 s, a steampunk Tokyo setting, and the Flower Division, the demon-battling combat arm of a theater performers. Everything noises like a non sequitur, however fans knowledgeable about Sega’s almost 25- year-old franchise would not bat an eye at any of it. Once again, there might not be numerous of them in the west, as the Sakura Wars series has actually just seen 2 (of 6) launches on this side of the Pacific, and the series as a whole has actually been inactive given that 2005. Sakura Wars, which released in Japan in December, is thought about a “soft reboot” of theseries

Who: Frozen District
When and where: Readily available now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Why? This 2018 Steam launch (and unexpected best seller) released today on consoles, for beginners. Its ESRB score consists of a content descriptor for “moderate language”; that’s either excessive for an E-for-Everyone title, or insufficient for home enhancement. This is the only video game I understand of, simulation or game, in which you can Shop-Vac a nest of roaches.
Cooking Simulator
Who: Superhot Team by method of Big Cheese Studio/ PlayWay
When and where: Free upgrade offered now on Windows PC.
Why? Why not? In Superhot, time relocations just when you do. In mix with Cooking Simulator, you can go all John Wick on the steak frites (with chimichurri and boursin cheese crostini). Drawback: It takes 8 years to bake a potato, rather of the typical 4. Cooking Simulator’s Superhot Difficulty Mode is a MAJOR UPDATE that went live on Tuesday; it commemorates the four-year anniversary of Superhot’s launch. The 2 games are likewise bundled together, at a big discount rate, for a restricted time.
Sludge Life
Who: Terri Vellmann and Doseone/Devolver Digital
When and where: This spring on Nintendo Change and Windows PC.
Why? This is a Devolver Digital joint, so you understand it’s going to be defiant, paradoxical, and unusual prior to you even get to the property: You’re a vandal living on a sludge-covered world, attempting to go far on your own as an “approaching tagger” attempting to remove “the graffiti elite.” Features consist of peeing, pooping, and a feline with 2 buttholes. Joe Bob states inspect it out.
Baldur’s Gate 3
Who: Larian Studios/Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro
When and where: At some point this year on Windows PC (by means of Steam Early Gain Access To) and Google Stadia.
Why? There is some severe Rage of Khan s*it going down with the mindflayer here, although material warning: It does not go into through the ear– it’s much even worse. And in case you didn’t get the message, you can see it a second time, POV. After that, the quarren/Cthulhu man desolates King’s Landing prior to Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal flight in to bring back order. You most likely need to be up on your Baldur’s Gate/ Dungeons & Dragons tradition, and I’m not, to get what’s actually going on here. This is a blood-pumping table-setter for the long, long-awaited 3rd chapter of the 20- year-old RPG.
