Here&#8217;s what you need to know about the games releasing this weekend, 5-9 December 2016:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Dead Rising 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>6 December 2016\u00a0(Xbox One, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Open-world, weapon crafting, and zombie killing action is returning with Dead Rising 4 &#8211; the next instalment in Capcom&#8217;s fan-favourite tongue-in-cheek undead series.\u00a0Dead Rising 4 features\u00a0also sees the\u00a0return of Frank West, the photojournalist protagonist from the original game.<\/p>\n<p>Set 16 years after the first game, it will once again be set in Willamette, Colorado, and will feature massive environments, thousands of zombies, and of course, tons of weapons to create, such as exo-skeleton suits and electrified hammers.<\/p>\n<p>The countdown clock from previous games has also been removed, which is a sigh of relief for those who want to take their time in smashing their way through Dead Rising 4 when it launches this week.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dead Rising 4 Combo-Ween Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0ZIsjUHLBgA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">The Last Guardian<\/h3>\n<p><strong>7 December 2016 (PS4)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it looks incredible, The Last Guardian has been delayed so many times that gamers have kind of just slid it to the back of their minds. But, the\u00a0anticipated release is finally set to see the light of day this week\u00a0(maybe), and it&#8217;s a game that should be on everyone&#8217;s wishlist.<\/p>\n<p>As the\u00a0spiritual successor to Fumito Ueda&#8217;s Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian\u00a0follows in the footsteps of those quiet, minimalist adventures about boys exploring desolate worlds to save girls. It&#8217;s a third-person adventure game with platforming, combat, and puzzle elements.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Last Guardian - E3 2016 Trailer | PS4\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fL2zzgW6YOo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More game releases this week:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"Xbox One platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dead Rising 4<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75676\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"PC-platform-tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dead Rising 4<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"PS4 platform tag\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The Last Guardian<br \/>\nArk: Survival Evolved<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article\u00a0courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/game-releases-5-december-2016\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<\/strong><a title=\"Permalink to FNB launches tech and gaming festive deals\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/mobile\/113067-fnb-launches-tech-and-gaming-festive-deals.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">FNB launches tech and gaming festive deals<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the games that are hitting local stores and online retailers this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":113077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,11681,4],"tags":[13842,13838,1503,19423,15397,1853,1476,10065],"class_list":["post-113073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-ark","tag-ark-survival-evolved","tag-dead-rising","tag-dead-rising-4","tag-pc","tag-playstation4","tag-the-last-guardian","tag-xbox-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113085,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113073\/revisions\/113085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
