EA revealed the first footage of Lost in Random, a new action-adventure game developed by Zoink, the studio behind atmospheric adventure games like Fe and Ghost Giant, as part of the EA Originals label. Lost in Random is about a girl living in a kingdom ruled by a dice that determines their destiny. But she soon discovers that there's another dice aptly named "Dicey" that she teams up with to explore the world and help her in combat. The art style has a certain Tim Burton aesthetic, and the animation style makes Lost in Random look more like a stop-motion film more than anything. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/lost-in-random-announcement-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Zoink says Lost in Random is a coming of age story set in a mysterious world. This kingdom is governed by rules and minimizing risk, but with Dicey's help, the hero will learn to accept randomness and the flow of life. Check out the trailer above. Lost in Random will be out in 2021. For more, check out IGN's full coverage of EA Play Live. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.

Apex Legends, Respawn's popular battle royale shooter, is coming to Nintendo Switch and Steam this fall, complete with cross-play. That means you'll be able to play with friends regardless of which system you're playing on. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/apex-legends-season-5-lost-treasures-collection-event-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Since its surprise launch in February of 2019, Apex Legends has been only available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via EA's Origin service. But EA and Respawn are finally expanding Apex Legends to more services like Steam and Switch. Apex Legends recently debuted its Season 5 content along with the new legend character, Loba. Respawn plans to continue that trend of new content later this month when the Lost Treasures event kicks off on June 23. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=apex-legends-lost-treasures-collection-screenshots&captions=true"] The new limited-time event comes with cosmetics, the return of the Armed and Dangerous mode, and a new storyline involving Crypto. There will also be a new item called the Mobile Respawn, which as it says on the tin, lets you revive your teammates wherever you set the mobile console down.

Drake Hollow, the village-building action game, is kicking off a free open beta weekend tomorrow, Friday, June 19. Announced as part of IGN's Summer of Gaming, the open beta will run from June 19 until Monday June 22 at 9am Pacific / 12pm Eastern / 5pm UK (that's 2am on June 23 AEST). You can access the beta by signing up to the Xbox Insider Program on Xbox One. The preview weekend will give players one biome to play within, and a "limited sandbox experience", all of which will allow developer The Molasses Flood to stress test the game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/drake-hollow-exclusive-high-level-camp-gameplay"] Alongside the beta announcement, we can also show you some brand new gameplay of a high-level camp from the game, with a walkthrough from creative director Forrest Dowling (above). Dowling introduces how he uses a network of fast-travel waypoints, decoys, traps and mountable weaponry to help protect his village from raids, as well as creating different "districts" to his camp to help keep the resident Drakes healthy and happy. Drake Hollow tasks players with protecting the titular Drakes from attack by supernatural creatures by building them villages and helping to fight back. The game can be played along or in co-op. It launches on Xbox One and PC on July 17. There's much more to see from IGN's Summer of Gaming which runs throughout June – here's the Summer of Gaming full schedule. All month, we're supporting some incredibly important causes – the World Health Organisation and The Bail Project – if you are able, help us support them too at donate.ign.com.

Fantasy air combat game The Falconeer has got a new trailer, and revealed new story details. Revealed exclusively during today's IGN Summer of Gaming stream, the gorgeous trailer shows off a range of dogfighting gameplay against airborne and seaborne threats. Check it out below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/the-falconeer-exclusive-story-trailer"] The narrator of the trailer is the Seachantress, who will act as the player's guide throughout the game, and across The Maw, the canyon of water that crosses almost the entirety of the game's Ursee setting. Publisher Wired Productions also told us more about the game's three warring factions:

• "The Saladmount, a settlement devoted to harvesting wood-like material from the giant fungal seatrees, which is used as an ultra-light building material."
• "The Shard, home to one of the most important Noble houses in the game, House Borgia, which is a place of sharp, imposing rock features."
• "The Imperial Harbour, the largest city of the Ursee and the Royal seat atop Imperial Peak."

The Falconeer is coming to Xbox One and PC via Steam (which you can wishlist now) later in 2020. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. Follow him on Twitter. Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story? Please send an email to newstips@ign.com.

Tuque Games has revealed four new screenshots of its upcoming Dark Alliance video game. The four-player action-rpg was initially revealed during 2019's Game Awards, highlighting a focus on quick movement and visceral combat in its CG trailer. New concept art (below), released alongside the reveal of the next D&D tabletop adventure (also set in Icewind Dale), highlights enemies and areas that will be seen in the newest digital take on Dungeons and Dragons. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dd-dark-alliance-concept-art&captions=true"] "It's amazing to watch," says longtime D&D novelist Bob Salvatore (better known as "R. A. Salvatore" on his book covers), who's been consulting on the project with Tuque. "I love when other creative people jump in on what I've done, whether it's a book cover, or now video games. Y'know, I stood on shoulders to get to Icewind Dale, right? Ed Greenwood and Gary Gygax and the people who came before me. Watching other people build off my work and letting their own creativity fly is an amazing experience." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/dark-alliance-official-reveal-trailer"] The studio also provided more details on the story elements and structure of Dark Alliance, which is set shortly after the events of Salvatore's 1988 novel The Crystal Shard. "Following the events of The Crystal Shard, this artifact is now known, so word spreads quickly,," says Jeff Hattem, studio head of Tuque Games. "Monsters from all around the realms descend upon Icewind Dale to claim the shard for themselves." Hattem also revealed that this story will unfold in a non-linear structure. "One of the key values we have for the game is player choice, and we want to keep the game as open-ended as possible. So we're not stuck in a linear progression of 'you play this mission, then the next mission and the next.' Very early on in the game, a lot of missions open up and you can choose which missions to play in a non-linear way." We'll be looking to see more of Dark Alliance as we approach it's scheduled Fall 2020 release.
