Every new console generation starts with a tech demo. We’ve rounded up the most noteworthy ones from the past.
Destroy All Humans Remake Will Include A Previously Unreleased Level
The Destroy All Humans remake will contain a new level that was not included in the original PS2 and Xbox release. The mission, which was designed but did not make it into the game, has been restored and remade for the upcoming release.
The mission is called “The Wrong Stuff,” and it’s set in an Area 42 base (which is, essentially, the Destroy All Humans version of Area 51). You encounter this area in the middle of the game, and this mission has been inserted back into where it was originally going to appear.
You can see the brief trailer below.
Pandemic Studios, the developer of the original game, closed in 2009 after releasing The Saboteur. They are credited with the design of this new “lost” mission.
Destroy All Humans will release for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia on July 26.
Danganronpa Dev Spike Chunsoft Will Now Publish The Series Too
The Danganronpa series is going through a change in publisher. It was recently announced by previous publisher NIS America that several titles in the series would be removed from digital sale on PS4 and PS Vita across August and September, and now we have a better idea why.
Spike Chunsoft, the game’s developer, has announced on Twitter that they will be handling all publishing for the series going forward. Whether this means that the games will be returning to digital storefronts right away isn’t clear yet, but Spike Chunsoft is promising a statement “once details are finalized.”
Attention, students: Spike Chunsoft, Inc. will take over publishing for the Danganronpa series.
Please look forward to an official statement once details are finalized.— Spike Chunsoft, Inc. (@SpikeChunsoft_e) July 21, 2020
This also doesn’t necessarily mean that the publisher is gearing up for a new Danganronpa. Kazutaka Kodaka, the series’ creative director, is currently working on Death March Club, and directed FMV game Death Come True.
Hopefully this means that the series will come back to PS Vita after NIS America removes the games, though, as it remains one of the best places to experience the series. The first game in the series recently came to mobile, and its sequels will follow.

Halo Infinite–Here’s A Teaser To Get You Psyched For This Week’s Gameplay Reveal
Halo Infinite is set for its big reveal during the Xbox first-party games showcase on July 23, but ahead of that, developer 343 Industries has continued to release new teasers for it. This latest one is curious, as it focuses on Master Chief’s suit–but not the person inside of it.
The newest teaser appears to show Master Chief’s helmet being slot into place, shown from inside his suit. It gives off a sense that the iconic suit is ready to return to us.
Take a look for yourself in the gif below.

Halo Infinite will have its proper unveiling at the Xbox event this week, and the reveal will focus on the game’s campaign mode as opposed to its multiplayer element. Recently, Xbox boss Phil Spencer teased that Halo Infinite may change the “structure of what the game is itself.”
Mundaun Is A Horror Game Hand-Drawn In Pencil, And A First Trailer Is Out Now
Mundaun is an upcoming horror game will a curious visual twist–all environmental elements in it have been drawn in pencil. The game, which is coming to PC and unspecified consoles in 2021, will be about a character who travels to his grandfather’s home town following his mysterious death, and ends up getting tangled in some weird, terrifying events.
The game comes from developer Hidden Fields, a one-person operation by Michel Ziegler, and this is his first full-length game. In April 2018, Ziegler tweeted about the game, saying that he’d been working on it for 3.5 years–which means that the game has been in development since at least 2015. It’s due for release in Spring 2021.
You can watch the trailer below, but tread with caution if you have a phobia of freaky goats.
The game will have a mechanic that measures the main character’s level of fear, which impacts how they control. There will also be puzzles to solve and a wide open environment to explore. The snowy mountains you’ll be exploring will also host sinister creatures that you should avoid (it’s unclear whether the game has a combat mechanic).
The entire game will seemingly be in greyscale, although the game’s Steam page description makes a reference to “green meadows,” so perhaps there will be some color.
Mundaun is one of many promising horror games on the horizon, including Resident Evil Village, Remothered: Broken Porcelain, The Outlast Trials, The Dark Picture Anthology: Little Hope, and Scorn.

System Shock Remake Dev Is Trying Very Hard To Revive No One Lives Forever
No One Lives Forever is a cult-classic, but the series remains unavailable on modern systems and digital stores. There have been occasional rumblings of a revive, including a 2014 trademark filing from Steven Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios. That never eventuated, but Kick has not given up yet on bringing the game back.
In a new interview with Noclip (below), Kick talks about how Nightdive Studios started, and their current work on System Shock (including the upcoming remake). He also touches on the subject of No One Lives Forever, its sequel No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy In H.A.R.M.’s Way, and spin-off Contract J.A.C.K, and his ongoing attempts to bring them back.
When asked what series he’d most like to bring back, Kick immediately jumped to No One Lives Forever. “That’s a tough one,” he says. “Its rights have just been split across the four winds.”
