Top New Games Out On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Week -- April 21-27 2019

Tear apart your opponents in Mortal Kombat 11 or blast through the zombie horde in Days Gone.

This episode of New Releases is bringing the gore with Mortal Kombat 11 and PS4 exclusive Days Gone. Nintendo Switch has some cheerier exclusives of its own to balance those out, with BoxBoy + Box Girl and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech. Switch also gets its own port of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen this week.

Mortal Kombat 11 -- April 23

Available on: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch

Mortal Kombat needs no introduction, but the latest entry in the series does have some new tricks up its sleeve. Fatal Blows are like powerful X-ray attacks you can use once per match, Krushing Blows are flashier versions of special moves, and Flawless Blocks will leave your opponents open to attack if you time your defenses perfectly. Taking cues from Injustice 2, MK 11 also lets you customize your characters with costumes and movesets.

The long-anticipated exclusive is finally launching this month. Protagonist Deacon St. John rides his motorcycle across a post-apocalyptic open world, battling zombies known as Freakers. You can approach the undead horde with stealth, by laying traps, or going in guns blazing--just don't get caught around the zombies at night.

As the name implies, this is a cooperative take on the BoxBoy series, starring both Qbby and Qucy. You can play through the adventure with a friend by sharing a pair of Joy-Cons or swap between the duo to complete every puzzle yourself. There's also a dedicated single-player mode focused solely on Qbby.
