The PC Gaming Show is back once again for another great E3 presentation. Be it whether you lean more towards the PC gaming or just simply want to discover more games to try out, there is bound to be a game that’ll pique your interest.
Without further ado, here are the various games announced during the PC Gaming Show 2019.
Evil Genius 2: World Domination
Created by Rebellion, Evil Genius 2: World Domination is the long-awaited sequel to the 2004 real time strategy video game which has players managing a lair of their very own, along with the minions that populate it. In Evil Genius 2, players will assume the role of evil supervillains seeking, well, world domination. Players will be tasked with setting traps for spies who were sent to stop global domination and sending out minions to gather resources to help expand their empire.
A closed beta will be launched for Evil Genius 2: World Domination later this year.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines II
Paradox Interactive has finally dropped a new trailer that revealed a little more gameplay for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines II. In this dark and atmospheric trailer, you get to witness in first-person what it’ll look like to have a stake pulled out from your heart, as well as get a better look at the various characters you will meet in-game. It is not much but certainly enough to get us excited for the game’s release in 2020.
Starmancer
Ever wanted to build and manage your own colony of human survivors in space? Well, Starmancer is here to help you live out your dreams. In it, you play as an A.I tasked with helping humanity survive in space. Help build a station that is worthy of living in, and make friends along the way. Just be careful as there are enemies out there looking to hijack your station at any time. Starmancer will launch a closed beta later this year.
Chivalry II
A sequel to the 2012 game by Torn Banner, Chivalry II expands upon the first game in a number of ways, such as the addition of horses and the increase in the number of players on the field — it has been significantly increased from 24 players to 64. According to the developers, they compared this sequel to the Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones so players can expect piles of dead bodies when playing the game.
Chivalry II will be available in early 2020 on the Epic Games Store.
Mosaic
Enter a bleak and dreary world with Mosaic, an action adventure game by Krillbite Studio and Raw Fury. Mosaic explores the theme of urban isolation, where one can be surrounded by a sea of people but still feel alone, and the existential dread of feeling like just a cog in the giant machinery that is life. Though the game will only be released in late 2019, the app that was featured in the game BlipBlop is already available on iOS and Android.
Midnight Ghost Hunt
Midnight Ghost Hunt is what you will get when you combine Prop Hunt with the Ghostbusters. In the game, a group of ghost hunters will be going up against spirits hiding as innocent looking objects such as a lamp or chair. The ghost hunters’ objective is to rid the mansion of its ghostly inhabitants before midnight. If they succeed in doing so, they win. If even one ghost survives, all the ghostly spirits will return to bring the fight back to the hunters. Players who are interested can signup for a summer alpha that is currently underway.
Unexplored 2 The Wayfarer’s Legacy
In this rogue-like adventure game, you will travel through numerous lands seeking treasure and new discoveries. You will most probably die a few times along the way, and after dying you can choose to explore new lands, or continue searching the one you last died in. The game also features a beautiful art style, so we are definitely excited to learn more about the game in time.
Conan Chop Chop
Who would have thought that a game featuring a chibified Conan the Babarian would actually exist? Hack, slash, and chop your way through horde of monsters in this rogue-like game that strongly resembles a Legend of Zelda game.
Last Oasis
Last Oasis is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have to constantly outrun the scorching sun. Hence, weird insect-like vehicles were built for humans to travel in, scurrying across the land on their mechanical legs. In the trailer shown by developer Donkey Crew, we see bands of players fighting against one another for resources, both in their machines and on foot.
Last Oasis will launch on September 3, 2019.

Griftlands will have a closed alpha this July.

Shenmue III
A new trailer for the much-anticipated Shenmue III was finally revealed during the PC Gaming Show, featuring Shenmue’s protagonist Ryo Hazuki getting beat by a martial arts grandmaster, as well as a chase scene between Ryo and a gang of drunken thugs. Though the art looks a little dated, it is still significantly better than the very first Shenmue game.
Shenmue III will be launching on November 19 as a Epic Games Store exclusive.
Songs of Conquest
Build your kingdom, raise armies, and control powerful magicians in the pixelated world of Songs of Conquest. A collaborative effort between Coffee Stain and Lava Potion, Songs of Conquest is a turn-based adventure strategy game that, according to its developer, is set in the world of Might and Magic.

El Hijo
El Hijo is a spaghetti western-inspired stealth game by Honig Studios and Handy Games where you play as a six-year-old child trying to escape a monastery in order to reunite with your mother.
