Caravan Stories
- Developer: Aiming
- Publisher: Aiming
- Platforms: PS4
- Release: 2019
Caravan Stories, was once a game released within Japan but it’s soon making its way into western markets. This is an MMORPG that’s free-to-play which ultimately will keep that same format when it launches for the PlayStation 4 later sometime this summer. Players will be working together as the train up and prepare for the greatest enemy in all of the lands. There’s a wide variety of MMORPGs that come over from markets all over the world and not all successful titles end up seeing the same fame when they release outside of their origin market. As a result, we’ll have to wait and see just how gamers take to Caravan Stories when it comes out.

- Release: September 13, 2019
Borderlands is making a big return this year. A third main installment is coming out this September and it’s looking like Gearbox Software s bringing back all the beloved mechanics that made the game series popular since it first launched.

This is where our protagonist comes in, a new Vault Hunter who must stop the duo. We’re also supposed to see returning characters from past installments make an appearance, but it does look like certain voice actors may not be returning to lend their talent to these characters for the third main installment.
