The second Numskull Presents showcase revealed RICO London, while giving updates on Battle Axe and a few more upcoming games during the broadcast.
RICO London is a stylish first-person shooter, following up the the original 2018 RICO. RICO London now includes co-op and sees players blasting their way through an East End high rise, taking down gangsters in slow-motion. It also adds hostages and a number of other unique elements that set it apart from the original game. The arcade shooter is coming June 2021 to Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PS5,

Numskull Presents also showcased a nearly 7-minute deep dive into Battle Axe, the retro-arcade hack’n’slash inspired by adventure games of yore. Battle Axe creator Henk Nieborg and design director Mike Tucker talked characters, co-op, and the high resolution pixel art, plus showed off one of the game’s boss fights.
Battle Axe is coming April 2021 to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. It will be playable on next-gen consoles via backwards compatibility. You can watch the full deep dive presentation below:
