A smiling little girl is not the first thing that came to mind when seeing Caligula in the title. Watching the trailer didn’t really help bu since this is a remake there’s plenty of info on the interwebz about what kind of game to expect. It’s an RPG with turn based dungeon combat. You’re in a virtual world called Mobius to escape the pain of everyday “real” life. Can you and your team escape back to "reality"?
One Piece World Seeker

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2
Release Date: March 15, 2019
Platforms: PS4, XBO, PC

The trailer certainly captures the feeling of getting to play inside a Clancy story. I don’t know about game play but I want to read the book or watch the movie! It’s a 3rd person action RPG set in Washington D.C.. Massive Entertainment supposedly went all in for an impressive ending since that was player’s biggest complaint about the first game in the franchise. There are also additional DLC stories planned.
