The Order: 1886 PlayStation 4

The Order: 1886's pre-release build up has been bumpier than a Victorian stage coach, but it looks like Sony's finally pulling things together in time for the PlayStation 4 exclusive's 20th February launch. This brand new trailer is over two minutes in length, and includes a great mixture of gameplay and story – including plenty of bits that we've never seen before.

For starters, we get a glimpse of the titular Order in its entirety, as the Arthurian-inspired militia gather for a meeting around the Round Table. We also get a good look at some new weapons in protagonist Galahad's arsenal, including what looks to be a bomb that rains down hell from an overhead location – presumably a zeppelin.

There's more to the gameplay sequences than just stop and pop shooting, too, as we see an Uncharted-esque climbing clip, as well as plenty of close-quarters fisticuffs. Judging from the bits of dialogue, it seems that the moustachioed mercenary at the centre of the plot will be cast out of the Order at some point – and will probably go on to save London on his own.

It's a great trailer, and while we still have some misgivings about the moment-to-moment action, this at least gives us a better feel for the story, which seems to be mixing your average Hollywood blockbuster with straight-up horror. There's still a lot that's shrouded in secrecy, though, so we're eager to get our hands on the final version – fortunately, we won't have to wait too long.
