Google unveils 15 new games in latest Stadia Connect

In a new Stadia Connect, Google shared more games coming to the digital streaming platform. This includes five exclusives, including some games that will be instantly available to play. In total, there were 15 games revealed at this latest Stadia Connect. Familiar to most would be the arrival of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in the fall. The upcoming Square Enix action-RPG Outriders will also be coming to Stadia in 2021.

Padding the library

Hitman 3, alongside the two previous games, are also new additions to the Stadia library. The two predecessors will hit Stadia in September. With 2020 missing a flagship wrestling title, 2K is going to deliver WWE 2K Battlegrounds onto Google’s streaming platform come September 18.

As for the Stadia exclusives, one of them is coming from Splash Damage. The studio that gave us Brink and Gears Tactics is working on Outcasters. Described as a “vibrant and accessible competitive online multiplayer game set in a distinctly stylized vinyl world,” be prepared to have tons of customization options available to make your avatar uniquely you. Players will be able to compete in matches with up to eight players for a shot at glory. A release date has not been penciled in just yet.

Next up, Robot Entertainment’s Orcs Must Die! 3 will be a Stadia exclusive. If you are a fan of the series, you already know what to expect. The mix of tower defense and action will see plenty of fights, traps, and orcs. Stadia Pro subscribers will get the game for free, and is playable now. Harmonix, Uppercut Games, as well as Supermassive Games are developing the other Stadia exclusives.
