And the third part of the news:

In a sea of Game Awards announcements, you probably missed the debut trailer for Covenant, a gnarly 'FPS Soulslike' from veteran shooter devs looking to 'provide more than what seems possible for the price'

You might be all trailered out after one of the most exciting Game Awards lineups in the show's 10-year history, but one of the coolest game announcements of the past week actually happened outside Geoff Keighley's gameapalooza: Covenant, a dark fantasy, first person FPS-RPG whose devs boast some impressive shooter bona fides, as well as an aggressive, ambitious vision of how extensive the game can be.

I really hope this isn't the start of a new spam trend.

It's already one thing that there's plenty of souls-likes in the RPG/actions/Indie spaces, it's another to see them spreading into the FPS genre. I say this because each time I see this pattern emerge, my target type of game gets ignored, Souls-like fans flock to said game, game gets popular and then we start to see a spam of games within that genre happening, while I continue to be ignored.

It's like when Souls fans were originally ignored (before it become popular and a phenomenon, but with me it feels like a constant record on repeat, where what I like doesn't get made or gets made less, while Souls-like fans become the normies of every given genre and get fed well. I was already enjoying Doom coming back, but no one's really giving that a shot in the competitive arm elsewhere (Doom is Doom, but the days of making Doom clones seems over?)
