3rd place: Fallout London

Fallout London is here: The release trailer gives you a taste of the post-apocalypse
It took a long time, but now it happened: Fallout: London has been released and sends you to ruined Britain to experience new stories. The extensive mod is a total conversion of Fallout 4 and offers a new game world, its own characters and a specially written storyline.
The trailer exudes a very unique style, which stands out from the US originals due to the British dialects alone.
We’ve already had the chance to play Fallout London intensively and we’re torn. While the game should really be exciting, the technology has often thwarted our plans. According to our community survey, many of you would rather wait for patches.
Platz 2: Borderlands-Film

Borderlands: Shortly before the cinema release there is a very last trailer for the controversial film
Familiar characters with new faces: The Borderlands film is becoming a reality and will be released in Europe cinemas on August 21, 2024. In the trailer above, you can see how director Eli Roth puts beloved characters in the spotlight.
And with a large star castincluding Kevin Hart as Roland, Cate Blanchett as Lilith, Jamie Lee Curtis as Tannis and Jack Black, you might have guessed, as Claptrap. In the speaking role, mind you. It is doubtful, however, whether all of this can make up for the largely negative reactions from fans so far.
Platz 1: Hunt Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896: New name, new map – The August update will be huge
So, ready for the big bang? Because that’s what will happen when Hunt: Showdown receives its long-awaited upgrade to CryEngine version 5.11 on August 15. At least in the shooter’s community, which has been as excited as an overfilled balloon on social media for weeks.
New name: The changes extend far beyond improved graphics and a new map (as seen in the trailer), prompting Crytek to rebrand the game as Hunt Showdown 1896. Has some Counter-Strike 2 vibes, right?
You can read what else is included in the update here:
The most important: Hunt Showdown is set to get improved lighting, more realistic water, new animations, better performance (including DLSS and FSR) and the new map Mammon’s Gulch, which is set outside of swampy Louisiana for the first time. A new user interface and the introduction of ballistic curves for projectiles will probably only appeal to die-hard fans.
