One of the most surprising reveals this week is Better Than Dead, a brutal new body cam-style first-person shooter that drops players into the neon-drenched streets of Hong Kong. In this visceral, immersive shooter, you play as a female assassin on a bloody path of revenge. The developers are clearly aiming to follow in the footsteps of gritty realism popularized by games like Unrecord, using a body cam aesthetic to crank up the intensity.
If you're a fan of this subgenre—like I am, having spent countless hours mastering tactical corners in Ready or Not—you'll definitely want to keep Better Than Dead on your radar. It's already available to wishlist now on Steam, and if the atmospheric visuals and raw action teased in the official announcement trailer are any indication, we're in for a uniquely intense experience when it eventually launches.
DarkSwarm has just been revealed as a fast-paced action RPG with a major focus on online co-op. Set in a sci-fi universe crawling with enemies, this game pits players against overwhelming swarms in dynamic environments that promise both challenge and chaos. With a gameplay loop that looks like a fusion of Helldivers 2 and Alienation, teamwork is key as players blast through hordes in slick, top-down combat.
The closed alpha kicks off on September 2, 2025, and those eager to test the experience early can get a taste of what's to come by checking out the official announcement trailer. The developers haven't detailed how sign-ups will work yet, but expect updates through official channels in the coming weeks. If action RPGs with co-op thrills are your thing, DarkSwarm might become your next multiplayer obsession.
