Paradox Interactive revealed at Gamescom today two upcoming games that will be released for the PlayStation 4. Hollowpoint, a co-op combat title set in the 22nd century, will be released for the PS4 and PC in 2015. In addition, Paradox announced that Runemaster, the upcoming tactical RPG from Paradox Development Studio, will come to the PS4 alongside its PC release.
Hollowpoint puts players in charge of secretive Organizations of corporate mercenaries, taking on missions for pay and prestige alongside three other players in online co-op. Developed by Ruffian Games, the team behind Crackdown 2, Hollowpoint brings classic 2D side-scrolling action into the next generation with seamless 3D targeting into stages’ backgrounds.
In Runemaster, players will write their own sagas as they guide customised heroes through a chaotic conflict across six worlds of Norse mythology. Turn-based tactical combat will separate the brave and cunning from the common folk, while an emergent narrative told through procedural quests and an ever-changing world will ensure every story is unique to its player.

With a renowned history that’s served as the origin for many nostalgic video game characters, worlds and experiences, Sierra continues on today in a return to form. A part of Activision, Sierra’s focus is on indie studios, including new IPs and contemporary reimaginings of beloved Sierra classics. Headlining Sierra’s slate of indie games is an all-new King’s Quest experience in 2015, and a new Geometry Wars game planned to launch this holiday season. Additionally, the Sierra team is well underway exploring other indie projects to potentially launch later this year, and in 2015 and beyond.
In development by the studio The Odd Gentlemen (The Misadventures of PB Winterbottom), King’s Quest is a fully reimagined version of the fan-favorite Sierra game fit for both the old and new generation of King’s Quest players. The Odd Gentlemen are crafting a new adventure with an inspiring art style, engaging puzzles, and an interactive narrative brimming with humor. In the new story, King Graham – revered as the greatest adventurer to ever live – shares his life’s adventures with his curious granddaughter, Gwendolyn. It is through these tales that Gwendolyn discovers the true greatness of her grandfather. King’s Quest is expected to make its return in 2015.
The first title set to launch under Sierra is Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions from the team at Lucid Games. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is a new evolution of the fast-paced, frenetic Geometry Wars gameplay, and will introduce full 3D action and both cooperative and competitive multiplayer for the first time in the franchise. In addition to a full single-player campaign with 50 unique challenges and over 10 battle modes – five of which are brand new to the series – Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions features dynamic and persistent progression, offering players a consistently new experience each time they play. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is planned to launch later this year.
