Deadly Premonition 2 Up For Pre-Order, And You Have To See Its Box Art
The open-world survival horror game Deadly Premonition has garnered a cult following since its release in 2010; now, exactly 10 years later, it’s finally getting a sequel. Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise releases on Nintendo Switch July 10, and pre-orders for the game are available now. Even if you’re not a fan of Deadly Premonition, please look at and appreciate this box art for Deadly Premonition 2–it’s incredibly striking.
Like the first game, Deadly Premonition 2 is an open-world, single-player adventure and follows FBI agent Francis York Morgan as he investigates a mysterious serial murder case in the fictional town of Le Carré within New Orleans. You’ll be able to travel freely by foot or by skateboard, as in the first game, and there will also be various mini-games like bowling, bayou rides, and skateboard challenges. You’ll also be able to customize your character and skateboard.
Deadly Premonition 2 is up for pre-order–thankfully, it’s a little cheaper than the standard new Switch release, selling for $50. You can pre-order now at select retailers to get a physical copy by release day; of course, you can always pre-order directly from the Eshop too.
Streets of Rage 4 Has No Online Multiplayer if Bought From GOG.com
PC copies of Streets of Rage 4 purchased from GOG.com do not support online multiplayer, despite being priced the same as the Steam version that does feature online capabilities.
The GOG store page for Streets of Rage 4 has a disclaimer stating: “Please note that at this time, the DRM-Free version supports local co-op only with up to 4 players. The 2-player online mode is not available.”
Hello, unfortunately the GOG version of the game won’t be supporting online features.
— Lizardcube #SOR4DAY Out Now! (@lizardcube) April 29, 2020
While that note claims there is no online mode “at this time”, a tweet from developer Lizardcube suggests that online won’t be coming to the GOG version of the game. “Unfortunately the GOG version of the game won’t be supporting online features,” the studio said in response to a fan asking about cross-play with Steam users.
Both the Steam and GOG.com versions of the game are priced at $27.99/£22.49 (currently with a 10% discount), but the Steam version allows players to team up online for PvP Battle Mode fights or co-op play. Multiplayer is available in the GOG version, but only locally.
We’ve reached out to Lizardcube for further clarification.

Streets of Rage 4 is also available on console without these issues, should you be looking for a more straightforward approach to multiplayer. Our Streets of Rage 4 review says it’s worth checking out, too, even if it prioritises nostalgia over modern advancements.
