A great many games were announced this week, including a Resident Evil 3 remake, Hellblade 2, the revival of The Wolf Among Us 2, and a new BioShock. A lot of the week's news came from The Game Awards, the thinly-veiled marketing extravaganza, but not all.

Resident Evil 3 remake announced

Jill Valentine's adventure is being fancied up much like RE2.

Gothic mmmight get a remake

Playerunknown announced Prologue

The big man of battle royale's first game at his new studio is Prologue. It is... a video game? A MYSTERY.

Arkane's former president announced his new studio's first game

Weird West is some combination of action-RPG and immersive sim, set in a spooky-ooky wild west. Yes, they did yoink the fiction genre's name for their game.

PlanetSide Arena will shut down in January

The free-to-play battle royale spin-off from PlanetSide 2 doesn't even get enough players to fill a single match, so it will shut down after four months in early access.
