Jill Valentine is about to have a very bad day. As she keeps zombie hordes at bay and tries to get out of Raccoon City unscathed, a hulking beast named Nemesis is in pursuit. Much like Resident Evil 2's Mr. X, Nemesis can only be slowed and will continue its hunt after it catches its breath; he can even punch his way through walls. Capcom released a new trailer that shows just how terrifying this threat can be. Thankfully, Jill isn't alone. Carlos, who players will get to control in this remake, is also around to take a Nemesis punch or two to the face.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is slated to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 3. The game comes packaged with a asymmetrical multiplayer mode called Resident Evil: Resistance, which pits four survivors against a mastermind.

Crystal Dynamics' Avengers title (published by Square Enix) needs additional development time for "fine tuning and polishing," and is therefore being delayed to September 4. The game (PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia) was originally slated to come out on May 15.

Scot Amos and Ron Rosenberg, co-heads of studio at Crystal Dynamics, released an open letter to fans explaining the decision as well as touching on the game's scope that contains a story campaign, co-op, and post-release content.

Square Enix has announced that it is delaying Final Fantasy VII Remake by approximately a month, moving its release date on the PS4 from March 3 to April 10.

In a message at the publisher/developer's official website, producer Yoshinori Kitase apologized on behalf of the entire development team and said, "We are making this tough decision in order to give ourselves a few extra weeks to apply final polish to the game and to deliver you with the best possible experience."

The game that comes out on April 10 will only be the first installment of Final Fantasy VII Remake, a title that spans multiple parts. Square has said that each one will be a full-length game in its own right, although it has not announced exactly how many parts Remake contains.

For the second consecutive year, Sony won't be attending the biggest event in video games. Can we still call it the biggest event in video games? A Sony Interactive Entertainment representative told GameIndustry.biz that Sony will instead attend hundreds of consumer events across the globe to deliver PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 information. "We have great respect for the ESA as an organization, but we do not feel the vision of E3 2020 is the right venue for what we are focused on this year," the Sony representative said.

Sony bowing out of E3 isn't that surprising, given the company also didn't attend E3 in 2019, but with PlayStation 5 on the way, and its details still shrouded in secrecy, fans expected to learn about the next-generation hardware at the show or at least additional details if the official unveiling happens before June. Since abandoning E3, Sony has delivered news through other means such as the periodic "State of Play" videos.

E3 has been video games' big event for unveiling new games and hardware since its inception in 1995, yet companies are moving away from the show to hold their own events, such as Electronic Arts, who holds a fan event at the same time as E3 offsite.

What do you think of Sony once again sitting E3 out? Let us know in the comments section below.

CD Projekt may seem like a newer company given The Witcher's recent rise to fame, but its history dates all the way back to 1994 and some of its earliest employees are still there. To celebrate their time with the company, CD Projekt put together gifts for their significant anniversaries. One of them is a Cyberpunk 2077 Johnny Silverhand guitar signed by actor Keanu Reeves, who plays Johnny in the game, and even put "J.S." beneath his signature.

You can see more on the creation of this guitar at Guitar Service. Check out CD Projekt RED's tweet to see the other anniversary gifts.

Each year we celebrate with the Rebels who hit some serious milestones at CD PROJEKT RED. This time we had 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th (!) work anniversaries to award – take a look at the unique gifts designed for that occasion! #insideRED pic.twitter.com/Breb6VWAqv
