The PC Gaming Show 2019 was definitely epic at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles ahead of E3 2019, and we have the E3 trailers of the top 10 games shown at this PC game-dedicated showcase.
Our PC Gaming Show games list would be too much to fit on one page if we added everything, so weâve whittled it down to ten, including long-overdue sequels like Evil Genius 2, Baldurâs Gate 3 and even Shenmue 3. Theyâre finally coming out.
Here are the top games we spotted at the PC Gaming Show.
Evil Genius 2: World Domination
This is the full sequel to Evil Genius youâve been waiting for, not just another spin-off to Elixir Studiosâ real-time lair sim strategy game from way back in 2004. Developer Rebellion is finally giving us a meaningful update, and while the E3 trailer didnât have gameplay, the new title seems to preserve the originalâs fun, colorful, and campy vibe. The fun cinematic video we saw is along the lines of Team Fortress, but with base building and world domination intent.
Chivalry 2
Chivalry 2 isnât dead, itâs coming out on in early 2020, and itâs launching first on the Epic Games Store. At E3, we learned it has brutal battle scenes that channel your favorite Medieval movies from the first-person perspective. Youâre wielding axes to splice enemies in half, launching projectiles from catapults, raiding villages and burning them to the ground, and cleanly slicing off enemy heads from horseback. According to Tripwire Interactive, you can even beat a man with a chicken while quoting Shakespeare in this 64-player PvP â itâs twice the scale of the original Chivalry.
Midnight Ghost Hunt
Midnight Ghost Hunt is inventing a new subgenre: itâs a multiplayer ghost hunt hide-and-seek game. Finally, right?! Players are either a suited up ghostbuster or a ghost hiding in a haunted house, often taking the form of seemingly harmless furniture. The goal of the ghost players is to hide instead of fighting back, and do so until the grandfather clock strikes midnight. Thatâs when the hunted ghosts turn into the hunters and gain extra power to take on the ghost-tracking detectives. An alpha for this PC game will launch later this summer.
Remnant: From the Ashes
Remnant has big, scary enemies â the stuff nightmares are made out of, and developer Gunfire Games advises you to bring friends to this full co-op action shooter. Itâs the end of the world as we know it, except monsters are certainly thriving and, from what weâve seen, your weapon selection doesnât stand a chance. âYou will die a lot in this game,â according to Gunfire Games, and even when you do beat it, thereâs a dynamic generation system that changes up the quests, non-playable characters, and monsters. Itâs all hand-scripted, but the way theyâre linked together gives you a different experience each time. Publisher Perfect World is launching this PC game on August 20, but âVIPâ access is going out a few days early on August 16.
Shenmue 3
Yu Suzuki took to the stage at the PC Gaming Show, and the legendary video game designer behind hit Sega classics like Outrun, Vitra Fighter and After Burner formally introduced a long-awaited sequel to one of his biggest Dreamcast games: Shenmue 3. Itâs finally coming out, and doing so under the Deep Silver label on November 19, 2019. Even if the dated 3D graphics wonât blow you away anymore, thereâs more martial arts combat it seems and the story is meant to be the real selling point that Shenmue fans will surely eat up.
Borderlands 3
Borderlands 3 is the loot-fueled first-person shooter with RPG progression, and itâs coming to the PC on September 13. At the PC Gaming Show, we found out more details about Moze, the newest Vault Hunter, and the fact that you can summon her personal mech â the Iron Bear â in order to mow down enemies. Sounds very Borderlands-like. The level cap has been raised to 50 in this game and youââl be happy to know that grenades are getting a sweet upgrade. They can now bounce and then stick, so youâre not limited to just sticky bombs and ones that bounce.
Maneater
âItâs like Grand Theft Auto if you were a shark,â according to Tripwire Interactiveâs clever pitch of Maneater. We remember this âShark-PGâ gameâs debut at the PC Gaming Show last year, and we have more backstory on who youâll be eating once this game is finished. It seems like the shark-hating Scaly Pete is picking on sharks and itâs time to bite back. The ridiculousness of controlling a shark that bites everything in its path gives it a Sharknado vibe, thereâs some real progression here, with growth, life phases and evolution that augment your finned .
Telling Lies
We liked Telling Lies because itâs shaping up to offer a unique gameplay experience based on listening to and watching taped conversations via a stolen NSA module. These secret convos revolve around four characters, and you have to figure out the what and why. Itâs supposed to take all of the exploration of a game and apply its energy directly to the story. Youâre literally in an open-world video game with over 10 hours of footage you can tackle in nonlinear fashion - something weâre not surprised came from Sam Barlow, maker of the critically-acclaimed game Her Story.
Conan Chop Chop
What started out as an April Foolâs Day joke has become a full-blown game from Funcom, and we got our first look at what the gameplay will look like in this adorable little hack-n-slash game that features four player co-op. Weâve played serious Conan the Barbarian games before, and they werenât great. So weâre more than willing to give this one a try when it launches on September 3.
Baldurâs Gate 3
We got our first taste of Balderâs Gate 3 last week, and the PC Gaming Show offered us more in the way of whatâs next, including a pen-and-paper prequel thatâs due to launch in September. Thatâs good news because Balderâs Gate 3 doesnât have a confirmed release date outside of the vague November 2019 Google Stadia and PC launch window - though itâs unclear if it will be a launch title for the streaming service.
