22 Minutes of State of Decay 2 Solo Mission Gameplay [4K] – IGN First
Though the biggest change Undead Labs is bringing to State of Decay 2 is the addition of up to four-player cooperative play, there's an undeniable allure to striking out alone in the zombie apocalypse. Everyone that jumped into the original State of Decay had this experience, and it stands to reason that many would-be survivors (myself included) are going to plant those "Keep Out" signs in their shelters and go it alone... at least at first.
In fact, when we released our first chunk of State of Decay 2 gameplay – 25 Minutes of 4-Player Co-op Multiplayer – a lot of you were curious if co-op play was required, if the game would be different for solo players, and if the difficulty would be prohibitive without three others helping you out. With that in mind, today we're please to reveal a 22-minute gameplay clip of single-player from somewhere around mid-game. In it you'll see a few side quests, some basic survivor information, and the dangerous, often fatal, consequences of getting cocky.

Final Fantasy XV’s Noctis Joins Tekken 7 Next Week
Players of Tekken 7 will have the opportunity to add another character to their roster as of next week, when Noctis Lucis Caelum, protagonist of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV, is made available as a DLC character on March 20.
The news was accompanied by a promotional trailer showing off Noctis within the game, which you can see below:
Noctis' fighting style appears to be drawn directly from his appearance in Final Fantasy XV, mixing up his standard swordplay with his signature teleportation technique, as well as various magic attacks that look to reflect that game's flashy, powerful magic system. He's also shown to have access to a variety of weapon types
Judging by the video, there will be plenty of throwbacks for fans of Final Fantasy XV, with Noctis showcasing several outfits throughout the trailer, including fishing gear, his royal suit and the garments worn by an older Noctis during the game's climax, as well as the Choco-Mog and Assassin variants that were made available during FFXV's various festival events.
