State of Decay 2 is coming soon and bringing with it a number of shiny new features and improvements over the original. Chief among those big changes in the sequel is the addition of up to four-player cooperative multiplayer so you and your friends can finally live out your zombie-apocalypse survival fantasy together.

We're very excited to be revealing a big ole chunk of said co-op gameplay today from a work-in-progress build of the game as part of our ongoing IGN First coverage. The video is lightly commentated for context, and shows some great weapons and items Undead Labs was kind enough to give us. Enjoy!

And if you missed the news, we revealed the State of Decay 2 release date and price, with much more to come as the month unfolds.

First there were the TV shows. Then the conventions. Then the movies. Then more TV shows. Then mega-conventions. And now, Star Trek is taking over the world of cruising.

That's right. In recent years, setting sail on completely immersive Star Trek cruises has become the ultimate expression of fandom for the diehard Trekkies/Trekkers who have the means. Cast and crew of the many Star Trek series mix with the fans on these annual Trek-themed cruises, with previous years' voyages featuring first William Shatner and then George Takei as the headliner act -- the honorary captain, if you will.

And now we have the word on who will headline the 2019 cruise: Star Trek: Discovery's Captain Lorca himself, Jason Isaacs.

"No freakin way!!!" replied Barlog, who is currently travelling around Europe to promote the game, and was enjoying a selection of godly-themed beers in front of a blazing brazier at the time the question was posed, judging by his Twitter account.

Floyd Mayweather has announced that he's hopping aboard the video game bandwagon with his own creation that's currently in the works.

The undefeated boxer told TMZ that he is "working on" his video game, saying that he couldn't be involved with EA's Fight Night series because he has to "have some ownership" of the projects he's involved with.

Mayweather won't be the first boxer to have his name emblazoned on a fighting game. Mike Tyson had the honor of being the final boss in Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the NES, although when the license expired on using Tyson's name, he was replaced with the Mr. Dream character.

Square Enix's Nier: Automata has a whopping 26 endings for those players who have the time and fortitude to unlock them all. But there's still one last mystery that has yet to be unlocked, and the developers aren't willing to help you find out what it is.

According to a Famitsu interview (translated by Gematsu) the game has an "unpleasant" secret waiting to be discovered.

"'That' has yet to be discovered," reads the piece in Famitsu's 1st anniversary piece about the game. "It will definitely be unpleasant, so the developers will not officially announce what it is. For various reasons, this specification was put into the game. If they are more detailed about what it is, problems might occur, so they cannot say anything more. It is the final secret of NieR: Automata…"
