PS4
Best Upcoming Games in April 2019
Days Gone
Probably the most exciting game PS4 owners have to look forward to this month, Days Gone is an action game set in a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world.
Developed by Bend Studio, players will take control of protagonist Deacon as they explore an open world while getting around on a motorcycle that can be customized. The game features a day/night cycle as well, which will affect the way the zombies react to you and how aggressive they are.
Mortal Kombat 11
In terms of multi-platform releases, Mortal Kombat 11 is also releasing this month, which is incredibly exciting news for fighting game fans. Tons of fan-favorite characters are coming back, including Scorpion and Sub-Zero (of course), along with Johnny Cage and Baraka, who was killed in Mortal Kombat X.
While the popular X-Ray attacks seem to have been removed from MK11, NetherRealm Studios is adding a new Fatal Blow mechanic in the game to make up for any lost gore and brutality.
Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain
A bit of a niche release for this month, Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain will be releasing on April 11. Fans of the series already know what they’re getting into: giant ants and bugs have invaded our planet, and it’s up to you to drive them out of our homeland.
