Riverbond
Riverbond is a cute dungeon crawler game with pixelated visuals of the characters that you play with. The game features four player co-op, and seems to be simply about hitting things with swords and finding treasures.
What is interesting is that it features many crossover skins from other beloved games like Guacamelee!, Bastion, Psychonauts, Shovel Knight, Enter the Gungeon, and many more.
Predator: Hunting Grounds
Predator: Hunting Grounds may not be a proper Alien game, but it certainly is a surprise announcement that brings this multiplayer shooter from the studio of IllFonic Games. The game is set to come out next year in 2020, and not many details were provided.
However, the trailer shows soldiers pitted against the Predator. The signature sound of the Predator can be heard while an invisible figure is seen lurking in the trees, hunting for the Soldiers.
