Out this week: DmC, Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt

This week marks the start of the New Year for gaming. First big title to be released is Ninja Theory's DmC. Also, if you need one more reason to revisit Pandora, the next DLC for Borderlands 2 is set to be released this week.

DmC: Devil May Cry

DmC is set in a parallel universe in the Devil May Cry series, but in short, this is a reboot. A reboot with a new look for Dante but with the good old gameplay seen in previous titles. The hack and slash beat 'em up is out on January 15 for NA, and january 17 for Japan, but for us? We get it on Wednesday. Datablitz announced via their Facebook page that DmC will be available on January 16.

Pre-ordering the game through Datablitz is still available, but the offer only lasts until the 15th. If you pre-order, you get a Dante shirt, a cellphone case for your iPhone, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note II (What?), and three DLC packs.

These DLC packs are the Bone Pack, Gold Pack, and Samurai Pack:

The Samurai Pack gives a new samurai weapon skin for Dante's axe, scythe , and shotgun. You even get additional orbs to use at the start of the game to upgrade or purchase items or skills.

The Bone pack is another skin set that transforms Dante's weapons in crafted bone weapons. You also get an Orb Harvester character ability that allows the player to gather orbs faster.

Last but not least, the gold pack. It gives yet another skin that turns Dante's axe, scythe, and shotgun into gold. You will also earn the item finder character perk that assists players in finding hidden items.

Datablitz has not given the price for DmC, but they did give a price range from P1,900 - P2100. The game will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (region-free), with the PC version to be released on a later date.

Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt

The third DLC for Borderlands 2 is Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. This is a campaign add-on which Gearbox highly suggest players to tackle once they finished the game or hit level 30. Included in the DLC will be new missions, new zone, new skins, new enemies, and of course more loot. It will cost you $9.99/ 800 MS points, or free if you purchased the season pass. It will be available for download on January 15.

Oh, and just in case you missed it...

Anarchy Reigns

The online multiplayer beat 'em up is now available in the Philippines. The game is priced at P1,395 for both PS3 and Xbox360 at Datablitz. Thanks to this game coming out in Japan months ago, we have quite a cheap game that's considered "new" to most gamers.

PS3 exclusive Far Cry 3 DLC out next week, adds two co-op chapters

The first DLC for Far Cry 3 will be releasing exclusively on Playstation 3 next week. If you enjoyed the game's co-op, then you'd get a kick out of this free exclusive DLC because this adds two more chapters to that mode.

The two added chapters, called Jailbreak and Redepmtion, and continues were the original six chapters left off.

"We've got new missions, tougher fights, bigger competitions, some great up-close time with your favourite characters, and explosive moments unlike anything you've seen before."

High Tides will be out on January 15. The DLC will be included on the Playstation Store during its regular content update that usually happens around Tuesday.

No word yet if High Tides will hit Xbox 360 or PC. This isn't the first time Ubisoft has given Sony exclusive content for their games. For Assassin's Creed 3, the PS3 version was given an hour worth of exclusive content for PS3 owners.

Amazing trailer for The Walking Dead: Survival instinct

You got to love Activision, they sure know how to make a release date trailer. With a game based on the popular The Walking Dead TV series, I guess they don't need to show any gameplay footage at all for their release date trailer.

The release is quite close and the only thing going for this game is the fact that it's a Walking Dead game. There's not much footage of the game still, and the latest trailer still doesn't want to give us an idea of what were getting into, or what sets it apart from the rest.

March 26 is the release date for Daryl and Merl's very own video game that tells their story before the events in the tv series. The game is confirmed to be released on Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U.

Since this trailer doesn't show much, here's a video that does, which also expains a bit more about the game. Thanks HDDreew for covering this.

CD Projekt Red's next project, Cyberpunk 2077, gets a trailer

Makers of the amazing Witcher series released a teaser for their new game, Cyberpunk 2077, which is based on the popular pen-and-paper RPG, Cyberpunk 2020. Check out the teaser below.

The "when its ready" message shows that CD Projekt Red wants to get this game right. The creator of Cyberpunk 2020, Mike Pondsmith will be working side by side with the dev team to really translate the world he built. With gameplay, it's still a mystery, but the team did mention that the game will be a sandbox RPG with a combat system very similar to the pen-and-paper version.

Can't wait to see more about Cyberpunk 2077. It's a great setting and hopefully we see more of it in the coming months. Don't hold your breathe, because I have a feeling this game will take a couple of years until it gets released.
