Players have to use their skill and cunning to kill, tame, or farm the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land. You can also jump online and team up with (or prey on) hundreds of other players to survive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARK: Survival Evolved Pre-Order Trailer!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rn9S7XKFoNY?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<h3 class=\"my-4\">Lawbreakers<\/h3>\n<p><strong>8 August 2017 (PS4, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coming from the mind of Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski, Lawbreakers is a team-based arena shooter.<\/p>\n<p>This PC and PS4 only title focuses on futuristic law enforcement officers attempting to repel marauding gangs which have clubbed together and attempted to take the US. The moon was also the subject of clandestine testing and has shattered, leading to pockets of zero-gravity which can be exploited.<\/p>\n<p>It looks and sounds pretty interesting, and with the creative talent behind it, we\u2019ll be keeping a close eye on Lawbreakers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LawBreakers &quot;Between Our Guns&quot; Gameplay Trailer [Official]\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-uX9iY-KJQw?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<h3 class=\"my-4\">Agents of Mayhem<\/h3>\n<p><strong>18\u00a0August 2017 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Volition, the studio behind the successful\u00a0Saints Row\u00a0series have always had a knack of creating tongue-in-cheek games that, while admittedly silly, were actually pretty good. And the offbeat studio\u2019s\u00a0next project follows those lines but adds a dose of super-powered task-force into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Agents of Mayhem\u00a0takes cues from stereotypical A-team-inspired action shows, and throws them into a single-player, open-world third-person game set in Seoul.<\/p>\n<p>What makes\u00a0Agents of Mayhem\u00a0different is that before each mission you choose three out of the 12 agents to bring with you, and you can switch between these three at will.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Agents of Mayhem Official Magnum-Sized Action Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pCiCWyPP7wg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
