Tactical role-playing

***Fire Emblem: Awakening*** is a tactical role-playing game developed by Intelligent Systems and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the eleventh main installment in the *Fire Emblem* franchise, the thirteenth including remakes, and the fourteenth overall. The first *Fire Emblem* title for the 3DS, *Fire Emblem: Awakening* marked a significant rise in popularity for the franchise, allowing improved success for future titles that followed it. The title was developed with the intention of it possibly being the final title in the franchise, largely due to declining sales of previous entries.

A successor to *Awakening* was released in 2015 in the form of *Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright* and *Conquest*, companion titles that were released for the Nintendo 3DS. The characters Lucina and Robin were introduced into the crossover fighting game *Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS* and *Wii U*, and appeared once again in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate* alongside another character from *Awakening*, Chrom.

First-person shooter

***Doom Eternal*** is a first-person shooter game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, released on Battle.net, PlayStation 4, Stadia, Steam, and Xbox One on March 20, 2020. The Nintendo Switch version was released exclusively in digital formats on December 8, 2020. An additional release planned for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S is planned for 2021. *Doom Eternal* follows the prior 2016 release, *Doom*.

*Doom Eternal* focuses on the Doom Slayer, a former marine serving the UAC during the events of the original *Doom* video game, and his efforts to end the consumption of Earth by Hell, as well as stop the Makyr-led plan to end humanity's existence. The title has a greater focus on story than the previous entries, and contextualizes the events of 2016's *Doom* further. *Doom Eternal* confirms itself and the 2016 release as direct continuations of the previous entries in the series, save for *Doom 3*.

After the main game's release, two DLC expansions were announced. The first, *The Ancient Gods - Part One* was released on October 20, 2020. Part one of *The Ancient Gods* covers the Doom Slayer's efforts to stop a revitalized invasion of Earth, further putting him at odds with the surviving Makyr. *The Ancient Gods - Part Two* was released on March 18, 2021, and follows the events of *The Ancient Gods Part One*. In part two, the Doom Slayer leads a final effort against the Dark Lord, who was revived in the conclusion of the previous DLC entry.

*Doom Eternal* was met with massive critical and financial success, and was one of the best-selling games of 2020. The title received some notoriety for the irony of its release on the same day as *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, and sales were potentially boosted by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. The title received numerous nominations and awards, including a nomination for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2020.

The fourth primary entry in the *God of War* franchise and the eighth entry chronologically, tne title features a break from norm from previous entries, now focusing loosely on Norse mythology, and shifting gameplay focus to over-the-shoulder combat and exploration. *God of War* tells the story of Kratos, now a nomad living in old Norway, living in seclusion with his son Atreus. After the death of Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother, as well as an attack on their home from an unknown stranger, Kratos and Atreus must journey to the highest peak in all the realms to spread her ashes, while avoiding dangerous new enemies along the way.

A sequel, *God of War: Ragnarök*, will release in 2022 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. *God of War* has also been re-released, still for the PlayStation 4, under the PlayStation Hits brand, resulting in a permanently lower price for the title. It has also received a patch for PlayStation 5 support, rendering it compatible with 4K resolution and 60 FPS on the console.
