Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem
- Developer: Wolcen Studio
- Publisher: Wolcen Studio
- Release Date: February 13
- Store: Steam
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is an action role-playing game (ARPG) in the vein of Diablo, Path of Exile, and Torchlight. In Wolcen‘s dark world, you start off as a member of an army that has eschewed the use of magic. However, the discovery of new powers will forever change your destiny.
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem has been part of Steam’s early access program since 2016. Its official release this week will feature a three-act storyline, a level cap of 90, around 40 skills with their own modifiers, a multi-skill feature which lets you use the same skills while assigning different modifiers, 21 subtypes based on the passive tree, and 11 tiers for weapons and armors. Likewise, the skill tree in Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem will remind you of Path of Exile‘s in that you’re not necessarily locked into a specific class. You can freely branch out to various nodes, creating a unique build to suit your needs.
Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
- Developer: Capcom
- Publisher: Capcom
- Release Date: February 14
- Store: Steam
Like Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem, Street Fighter V also released in 2016, though, of course, it was a full game by then. Still, numerous additions were offered throughout the years. The new release, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, includes almost every content imaginable.
Street Fighter V: Champion Edition will have all 40 playable fighters, including Gill. This edition will also include 34 stages and over 200 costumes for you to pick. The only ones excluded in Street Fighter V: Champion Edition are Fighting Chance costumes, brand collaboration costumes, and those that are part of the Capcom Pro Tour DLC.
Please note that Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is currently available as an upgrade for the digital version on Steam. You can find all the content listed in a recent announcement from its store page.
Warriors Orochi 4: Ultimate Edition
- Developer: Koei Tecmo
- Publisher: Koei Tecmo
- Release Date: February 14
- Store: Steam
Similar to Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, Warriors Orochi 4 is also re-releasing — Warriors Orochi 4: Ultimate Edition — and it comes as an upgrade pack via Steam. This still requires you to own the base game beforehand.
Warriors Orochi 4: Ultimate Edition includes the 170 or so characters that have become part of the default roster. Likewise, you’ll see returning characters such as Joan of Arc (Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War) and Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series). Two more gods of Greek Mythology — Hades and Gaia (you can see her in action below) also join the fray in Warriors Orochi 4: Ultimate Edition. The add-on also includes the new Infinity and Challenge modes to further boost the capabilities of your massive roster.
