Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released an extensive trailer of the upcoming 7 vs. 1 survival game Dragon Ball: The Breakers.

The video showcases pretty much all you need to know about the game, both as a relatively powerless survivor or as a massively powerful villain playing the role of the raider.

We can’t certainly say that Bandai Namco isn’t looking for new ways to present the Dragon Ball franchise.

We also learn that a closed beta is coming. It’ll be hosted on December 3 and 4 at the following times:

• 12/3 6PM-10 PM PDT
• 12/4 4AM-8AM PDT
• 12/4 10AM-2PM PDT
• 12/4 6PM-10 PM PDT

In order to participate, you need to sign up here for North America and here for Europe and hope that you’re selected.

In the meanwhile, you can enjoy the trailer below.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is developed by Dimps and is coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam in 2022.

Today Kadokawa Games released a brand new trailer of its upcoming mecha strategy JRPG Relayer.

The trailer focuses on the game’s mecha, showcasing the various types and models we’ll be able to see and control in the game.

We also take a look at their abilities and weapons. If you like mecha, this is certainly a great way to sell you on the game.

Not only we see the Stella Gear piloted by the protagonists, but also the Dark Gear piloted by the enemy Relayer.

You can watch it below.

If you’d like to learn more about Relayer, we recently published an extensive interview with producer and director Yoshimi Yasuda. It launches on February 17, 2022, for PS5 and PS4.

Today Bokeh Game Studio released a new video providing a relevant update on its upcoming horror game.

More specifically, we learn that Tatsuya Yoshikawa has joined the project as a character designer. Yoshikawa-sensei is well known for his work at Capcom, especially on the Breath of Fire series from III to V.

He also did some work on Gravity Rush 2, which is an important connecting element, considering that Bokeh Game Studio is led by Gravity Rush series director Keiichiro Toyama, who is also known for his work on the Siren series and Silent Hill.

Following his departure from Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Studio, Toyama-san launched Bokeh together with a number of other former Sony developers.

He then revealed he was working on a new horror game featuring fast-paced action.

We hear from him that the plan and story for the game aren’t finished yet, and he had Yoshikawa-sensei join this early in development so that he can still influence the direction of the title.

You can watch the video for yourself below, and take a look at the designs he created for two characters.

Nintendo has just announced the contents of a new free update for Mario Golf Super Rush. This update (version 4.0.0) adds two new playable characters, courses, and modes. It will be the final free update to the game, coming after a previous free update back in September.

The two new playable characters in this update are Shy Guy and Wiggler.

Shy Guy is a well-balanced, all-around golfer whose special shot has the effect of blowing away balls around the point of impact. Wiggler is a power-type golfer whose special shot has the effect of blowing away balls from its point of impact as well as the surrounding area.

The two new courses are called Shelltop Sanctuary and All-Star Summit.

Shelltop Sanctuary is where Cheep Cheeps fly to and fro with two difficulty settings and all 18 holes being Par 3. All-Star Summit uses illustrations of Mario and others as its motif with brick blocks strewn throughout the course.

Finally, the two new modes are Target Golf and One-On, One-Putt.

Target Golf mode allows you to play with just tee shots, without needing to know the detailed rules of golf. One-On, One-Putt mode requires you to hit the green on the first swing and then putt into the cup on the second swing.

Below are some pictures of the new characters, courses, and modes.

Today we learned the released date and saw the gameplay of the last character coming for Street Fighter V, Luke.

He’ll be released on November 29 alongside his costumes, and you can check him out below. Of course, despite the fact that DLC releases are ending, Capcom will continue to support the game.

Director Takayuki Nakayama concluded the livestream by mentioning that for the development team, Street Fighter V has been a project with peaks and valleys, but thanks to the fans, they have managed to accomplish what they aimed for. The developers will use this experience as the springboard to move on to the next project.

Producer Shuhei Matsumoto also added that Luke is “an important character” that will be featured in the next Street Fighter project. While this is the last digital showcase, for Street Fighter V, it’s more of a “see you soon” than a “goodbye.” The developers look forward to sharing new information next year.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has always been a haven for cute creations, as the game lets you have fun interactions with villagers alongside customizing everything from the exterior and interior of their home. It seems the creativity of fans of the series isn’t simply limited to just in the game, though, as one talented player has been creating the cutest crochet gyroids.

In a post to the Animal Crossing subreddit, user Nonsequitrnip showed off a handful of amazing crochet gyroid designs that they created by hand. You can see these adorable little creations for yourself below.

In the comment section, Nonsequitrnip stated they actually just started crocheting recently, and that these are among some of the first things that they have made since picking up the hobby back in January.

Today third-party developers had multiple add-on releases in store for Microsoft Flight Simulator, on top of further reveals.

First of all, the classic propliner Douglas DC-6 by acclaimed developer PMDG has been released on the official in-sim marketplace both for Xbox and PC.

It’s an extremely high-quality, high-depth aircraft and it’s priced at $69.99/€69.99, but you can take advantage of a launch discount and grab it at $54.99/€54.99.

Next is a teaser trailer from Jonx Simulations, showing off its upcoming Grumann F4F-4 Wildcat.

Well, here’s a nice surprise! Luis Antonio‘s critically-acclaimed time loop thriller, Twelve Minutes, is officially coming to PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The best news? Its release is just around the corner — on Dec. 7 to be exact.

The news comes by way of a new announcement trailer that dropped earlier today. Go ahead and take a gander at the new video below:

Not only does Twelve Minutes feature a tense, mind-bending narrative, but it also boasts voice talent from none other than Willem Dafoe, Daisy Ridley, and James McAvoy. Even Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid auteur Hideo Kojima apparently loved his time with the game, naming it one of his favorite gaming experiences of 2021 so far.

Developer Harmonix is the latest studio to join Epic Games’ growing publishing wing. Announced today, the studio is set to begin bringing its “unique brand of musical gaming experiences to the Metaverse.” That’s Fortnite’s Metaverse, we presume, not Zukerburg’s bizarre plans to suck us into a digital world to farm our data.

A statement over on the studio’s website reads in part:

“Over the last 26 years, we have pushed ourselves to redefine how people experience and interact with music. From the earliest days of The Axe to Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Central, our VR titles, FUSER, and everything in between, we have aspired to redefine what a music game can be. Now, we’ll be working with Epic to once again challenge expectations as we bring our unique brand of musical gaming experiences to the Metaverse, and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Fans of Rockband are likely keen to understand how the studio’s plans affect the production of new DLC and peripherals for Harmonix’s games, and so the studio has compiled a brief FAQ to answer those concerns.

Put simply, support for all its games, including DLC for Rock Band and future FUSER events, will continue as normal, while all their games will remain available for purchase on the same clients they are now. You will still be able to buy Harmonix games on Steam.

The team isn’t quite ready to share any details about its future content, but apparently, we’ll find out more soon.

The post Epic Games Has Acquired Rock Band Developer Harmonix appeared first on Twinfinite.

You’ll need Terminator: Resistance, a PS5 or PC, and… thankfully, you won’t need a motorcycle. Yes, developer Teyon has announced a brand new expansion for its sci-fi first-person shooter, but interestingly, it’ll only be coming to PC and PS5.

That’s right, if you’ve been playing the game solely on Sony or Microsoft’s last-gen console, then you’re unfortunately out of luck as the Polish indie studio’s upcoming single-player expansion will be exclusively launching on PC and PS5 on Dec. 10.

The DLC is officially entitled Annihilation Line, and will be an add-on for the title’s campaign. Essentially, the new expansion will add an extra mission that sees your in-game character, Jacob Rivers, investigate a civilian outpost that has mysteriously fallen silent.

Go ahead and check out the new announcement trailer for the DLC down below:

Today Paradox Interactive announced a release date and more details about the upcoming major expansion to Crusader Kings 3, Royal Court, which was announced back in May.

The expansion is going to launch on February 8, 2022, and below you can check out a summary of its features.

• Throne Room: A visual representation of your royal court will reflect all the accumulated majesty and prestige of your dynasty.
• Hold Court: Interact with vassals and courtiers as they come to you with their problems, seeking a royal judgment.
• Grandeur: Increase the quality of life at your court with fancier trappings and better food, all the better to impress your rivals and attract higher quality guests.
• Inspired People: Talented artists, craftspeople and thinkers can work on new projects, adding treasures and artifacts to your court.
• Hybrid Cultures: Make the most of a multicultural realm, developing a new way of life that is specifically adapted to your population and geography.
• Cultural Divergence: split from your traditional culture, adapting it into something new that better fits your aspirations.

You can also watch a trailer and hear about the expansion directly from the developers.

Today Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games opened the fifth day of the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2951 with a new trailer.

The trailer is part of a series dedicated to the expo and sees eternal silent sidekick Jimmy finally take the rains of Jeremy Clarkson spoof Jax McCleary’s show, while showing some seriously big guns in action.

Specifically, since the fifth day of the expo means the opening of the Crusader hall, players are now able to try out the Ares Ion and Ares Inferno, which are basically your space A-10s built around massive size-7 anti-capital ship weapons.

The Ion carries a cannon, while the Inferno carries a gatling for additional “brrrrt.”

Do keep in mind that you don’t need to spend any money to try the new ships. A Free Fly event is going on until December 1, granting everyone access to the game and its ships.

You can check them out in action below, alongside videos from the days dedicated to Aegis and to the alien brands, alongside a first look at the Aegis Redeemer, to catch you up with the expo content.

ITORAH is an action-platformer Metroidvania with hand-painted visuals and a 2.5D art style that bring its Central and South American inspirations to life in a beautiful way. It’s being developed by Grimbart Tales and published by Assemble Entertainment, and you’ll be able to get your hands on it when it launches sometime in spring 2022.

The game pulls you into Mesoamerican culture and legends as you assume the role of Itorah as she battles the Black Plague. Itorah seems to be the last human left in the land of Nahucan, and you’ll need to venture through several different biomes, meet various characters, and take down enemies with a talkative weapon that guides Itorah through the world.

You can have a look at today’s dev diary trailer below to get a good look at some of the gameplay that ITORAH has to offer. In the video, Creative Director Artur Backer goes through some of the plot setup, gameplay elements, and more.

Fans of Valorant esports have a special skin bundle to look forward to ahead of the game’s biggest and most exciting tournament to date. Riot Games has today unveiled a special Champions-Themed bundle that includes an incredible cool karambit melee, as well as a special gold-colored Vandal that boasts one of the coolest features seen yet in the game’s premium skins.

As you’ll see in the video below (thanks HitScan), the Vandal glows if you’re the game’s top-fragger, and it will actually glow for those who pick it up and are the top-fragger also, so you’ll get to experience the effect even if you haven’t purchased the bundle.

For those who do shell out the 6,264 VP, there’s also a kickass finisher that references Die For You, the Champions theme song by Grabbitz. Actually, the song also plays whenever you inspect the weapon, too. The bundle also includes three cards, which are similarly based on the animated music video for Die For You.

Today Microsoft revealed the new games that will be granted in December 2021 to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers at no additional cost.

The Escapists 2
From the tundra to the desert, join up with three of your friends to form the ultimate crew and engineer the wildest escapes from some of the toughest prisons in the world. Live by the rules, attend roll call, and follow strict routines, all while secretly planning and executing your bid for freedom!

Today Kadokawa Games announced the contents of the Season Pass of its upcoming mecha strategy JRPG Relayer.

The season pass will cost 2,500 yen in Japan (approximately $22) and it’ll include a GT Labo custom chipset with data based on six characters, a set of six golden weapons, and four “NEXT” Stella Gear, which are the evolved versions of the game’s mecha. Specifically, the Astraia NEXT, the Amaterasu NEXT, the Herschel NEXT, and the Petasos NEXT.

On top of that, you get three story missions.

• Episode 1: Terra and Yodaka’s Culinary Journey of Discovery
• Episode 2: Star Gazing
• Episode 3: Space Gourmet, Star Club Edition

On top of the season pass, today the game was made available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store in Japan. This includes the Digital Premium Edition priced at 9,980 yen (approximately $87).

It includes an original soundtrack with 15 tracks and the aforementioned season pass. It’ll also come with a Terra Rare Items set as early purchase bonus and early access as a pre-order bonus. As usual, the PS4 version can be upgraded to PS5 for free.

It’s worth mentioning that this is for the Japanese market, but there shouldn’t be relevant differences with the western market, besides perhaps pricing.

During the latest episode of Dying Light 2: Stay Human’s informative series, Dying 2 Know More, World Director Thomas Gerbaud went over what fans can expect from the setting of Techland’s upcoming post-apocalyptic action game.

In the video, Gerbaud goes into depth regarding the culture and environment that is home to The City in Dying Light 2: Stay Human, detailing how the people have come together following the fall of civilization to try and rebuild. For players, they’ll experience this via Aiden Caldwell, an outcast in search of his sister, Mia.

On the way to finding Mia, Aiden learns everything there is to know about The City and its inhabitants, including the strict adherence to the law, order, and hierarchy they all must follow.

Amidst all of the structure, though, players will be able to find plenty of interesting things that point toward revolution. That includes the ability to graffiti certain areas, find hidden tapes about the fall of civilization, and even try out a post-apocalyptic dating app.

Today developer Polygonomicon released another trailer of its upcoming 3D combat action game Varvarion.

The video focuses on 1 vs 1 gameplay against the AI. Interestingly, the developer mentions that this video was recorded in 2020, but never published.

The reason for that is that they were worried that people would see the game as a PvP-only game. Now that there is plenty of PvE footage around, they believe that said issue doesn’t exist anymore, so they feel comfortable showing it.

You can enjoy the video below.

Varvarion does not have a release window or announced platforms, but the developer expects it to come “most likely” on PC via Steam.

It supports local split-screen, but the developer is also planning to implement a single-player campaign. Online multiplayer will “hopefully” come as well, but it’s not seen as a priority for now.

Here’s how the developer officially describes the game.

Anime has always been known to have some pretty insane opening theme songs and animations, as shows like Dragon Ball Z and JuJutsu Kaisen have put out multiple bangers that are on loop in many fans’ minds. As such, it is always great to see creative people go out of their way to make anime-styled videos for other forms of entertainment, and that is exactly what one Redditor did for Call of Duty Cold War Warzone.

As you can see in the post to the CODWarzone subreddit, user Elvis_98 really went all out when creating this opening, as its pacing, music, and visuals fit the anime opening style perfectly.

While pretty much everything that is used to create the video has been a part of Call of Duty Cold War Warzone’s promotional material, it’s still an impressive feat to see it cut in such a way that it actually feels like the start of an anime.

What do you think of this Call of Duty Cold War Warzone anime opening? Does it make you want an anime version of the series? Be sure to let us know in the comments section below.

Are you ready to enter The Matrix? Well, you won’t have to wait much longer, as there is less than a month until The Matrix Resurrections arrives on the silver screens. To celebrate its upcoming release, HBO Max has just revealed eight stylish new posters, feature returning and new characters alike.

Whether it’s Matrix poster boy Neo or Niel Patrick Harris’ Analyst, each of the following posters captures the likeness and personality of these Matrix Resurrections characters in colorful ways.

Bandai Namco hosted the Tales of Festival 2021 at the Tokyo Garden Theater and announced a stage play inspired by its popular JRPG Tales of Arise.

The play will be titled “Tales of Arise Online Theater: Liberators – Kibou o Takusa Reshi Kaihousha-tachi” which translates as “The Liberators Entrusted with Hope.”

As the name suggests, it’ll be aired online on Bandai Namco’s event portal Asobistage with four performances between March 26 and March 27, 2022.

We also hear that it’ll be broadcasted worldwide, which is definitely sweet news.

It’ll be “another story” focusing on the characters of the game, and the following members of the cast have been announced:

• Shionne: Haruna Iikubo
• Rinwell: Rino Wauchi
• Law: Shunya Ohira
• Kisara: Hikaru Yokota
• Dohalim: Tetsuya Iwanaga
• Vholran: Kaito Hori

Alphen is the only member of the cast for which an actor has not been announced yet.

You can check out a trailer below.

Today DMM and Koei Tecmo released a new trailer and introduced a new character for their upcoming Musou game Touken Ranbu Warriors.

The trailer introduces the story of the game, while the new warrior is Omokage. He wields an Odachi (a sword much longer than a Katana) and he has a somewhat ethereal appearance. Yet, he is calm and collected.

He seems to be getting involved with the Honmaru swordsmen, including Mikazuki Munechika.

You can check him out below alongside the trailer, and a few additional trailers introducing familiar characters that I’m adding as a bonus, as I had missed them before.

Today developer Mihoyo revealed two upcoming playable characters for its popular online RPG Genshin Impact.

Their names are Yun Jin and Shenhe and they’re respectively the director of an opera troupe and the member of a clan of exorcists.

Both were showcased on Twitter with artwork and details. Shenhe focuses on polearm and cryo while Yun Jin also uses a polearm, but her element is geo,

Whether you played the game when it was originally released on the SNES or for the first time within the past few years through Nintendo Switch Online, it’s a classic adventure full of moments that will stick with you forever. Here are 10 unforgettable moments from the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Skyrim reached the big one-zero back on Nov. 11 of this year and the game is still going strong on PC and consoles. Fans of the game have poured in hundreds of hours to see everything in the game and now it’s finally time to put all that knowledge to the test with this Skyrim side character trivia quiz.

By side characters, we’re not talking about people that everyone knows like Jarl Wulfric, The Greybeards, or Delphine. The Breton’s, Imperials, Nords, and more that you’ll see in this side character trivia quiz are some of the less-often mentioned people in Skyrim. Yet, any seasoned fan of the game should be able to name these ten characters.

Some of the people in this quiz are extremely memorable characters that most players can’t forget if they wanted to. Not every question is a super deep cut. Still, there are a few people that even fans who have been playing since 2011 may not recognize.

Do the best that you can, Dovahkiin, and don’t forget to post your results in the comments and on social media. And challenge your friends with this quiz to see which one of you truly is a master or Skyrim.

Between the brilliant Arcane animated series, all-new game releases, and plenty more on the horizon, Riot Games is on fire right now. It should come as no surprise, then, that for Valorant’s first Champions esports event the publisher has produced an absolute banger of an anthem. This is something the publisher typically does for its League of Legends Worlds events, but this is the first of its kind for Valorant.

Called Die For You, it’s been written by Grabbitz in collaboration with Riot Games. Beyond just being a really cool song, which is likely destined as the backing track for the entire Champions event that kicks off next month, the animation from The Line Studio is totally kickass and tells an intesting narrative featuring Phoenix, Brimstone, Sage, and Chamber.

Valorant Champions begins next week, Dec. 1, running through until Dec. 12. It features the 10 best teams from across the globe, each of which have earned their place by earning Circuit Points across three ‘Masters’ events throughought the year.

While the news that Dune is leaving HBO Max may be disappointing to fans of the 2021 Denis Villeneuve adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic book series, there is at least some good news to go alongside it. Earlier this week, Best Buy revealed an upcoming SteelBook for the movie that collectors will love.

The Dune SteelBook will feature 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray support, as well as a free digital copy of the film upon purchase, and will be available on Best Buy for pre-order soon.

Anyone that is interested in Dune but hasn’t seen or heard of it yet, can check out the official description down below.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this version of Frank Herbert’s popular 1965 sci-fi novel is the first of a two-part adaptation. This story covers only the first half of the novel and features Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, the son and heir of the House Atreides, whose duke father, Leto (Oscar Isaac), accepts the stewardship of a planet called Arrakis.

Since it’s the main source of a most coveted substance called the melange, the leadership of its mining industry has been contentious, which the heir will soon find out. Co-starring Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, and Zendaya.

The Dune SteelBook is currently listed for a release date of Jan. 11, 2022. For more information, be sure to check back to Twinfinite, as we have all of the sci-fi news, features, and quizzes you could ever want or need.

Third-party developers provided new information and assets about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including aircraft and scenery.

First of all, we get to take an extensive look at the P-51D Mustang that’s coming from Aeroplane Heaven.

The developer has been quiet about it since April, but it appears to have made a lot of progress.

Next comes Impulse Simulations with new screenshots of Bankstown Airport (YSBK) in Australia. Apparently, it’s coming “very soon.”

If you’ve had your eye on Farming Simulator 22, then we bring you good news — it’s officially out today. Yes, GIANTS Software‘s best-selling grow-’em-up is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia.

To commemorate the game’s release, the Switzerland-based developer has dropped a freshly cut launch trailer to celebrate, and you can check out said footage down below:

As you can see in the video above, the new trailer cleverly focuses on the perspective of a gamer who has succumbed to the relaxing majesty of Farming Simulator 22. In fact, the gamer in question goes on to describe how they’ve “never cultivated a field before,” and describes how “spraying a field with double application rate” is “something else.”

Today Muv-Luv publisher aNCHOR released a new “launch trailer” for the new action game of the franchise Project Mikhail: A Muv-Luv War Story, which indeed recently launched in early access.

The trailer provides a look at the game’s grim world for those who are unfamiliar with it, alongside the introduction to the action-based mecha battles, which are a first for the popular visual novel franchise.

You can watch it below.

The game is currently available via Steam Early Access and will be released on Nintendo Switch at the end of the early access phase. Currently, the developers are already working on some rather radical changes to its gameplay.

Can you believe it’s been over a year since the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S were first released? A year since we first got to experience the magic of Series X|S’ Quick Resume feature, or felt the DualSense’s haptics tap to life as Astro explored the various worlds of Playroom. In that year, we’ve seen a to of games both old and new released on the shiny new consoles, but which games really make the most of that extra horsepower? Here are six games that are noticeably better on next-gen consoles.

Forza Horizon 5

Games That Are Noticeably Better on Next-Gen

Forza Horizon 5 is the best racing game you can buy right now, and credit to developer Playground Games, it’s available on PC, Xbox Series X|S and the last-gen Xbox One, allowing all Xbox fans to drift their way around the Horizon Mexico festival.

Avex revealed the first screenshots and the synopsis of the eighth episode of the ongoing Muv-Luv Alternative anime series.

The episode will be aired on Wednesday, November 24, and you will be able to watch it on Crunchyroll if you live in one of the countries in which the service is available.

Below you can read the synopsis. Just keep in mind that it’s a bit more spoilery than usual.

“December 5, 2001. A coup d’etat happens in the Imperial Capital. Prime Minister Korechika Sakaki, Chizuru’s father, and several other government members are assassinated by perpetrators led by Captain Naoya Sagiri.

Takeru and his 207B Platoon are ordered to stand by for a sortie and to prepare for actual combat. Before the sortie, Kei tells Takeru that the letter she received was from Captain Sagiri.”

One of the funniest parts about being good at Rainbow Six Siege is getting to see the victory animation of whoever ends up getting MVP on the winning team. With so many different characters and emotes, you never know what you’re going to get.

That statement was especially true for Redditor Y_BoiLog_n, who incurred an animation bug that was so cool, many wanted it to be an actual part of the game. As you can see in the post to the Rainbow Six Siege subreddit below. the user got quite the interesting broken victory celebration.

Instead of just one celebration emote, this talented Vigil player got a handful of them glitched into one. Now, for any other character, this might seem out of place, but it works perfectly considering this Rainbow Six Siege Operator is known for their camo that makes it look like they’re vanishing into thin air.

IO Interactive has today pledged to continue its support of Hitman III, the stealth-action sequel launched to critical acclaim earlier this year. A video today offers a brief overview of some of what’s to come, which includes PC ray-tracing, VR support for PC, and new elusive targets coming January, while new maps, storylines, and game modes will be delivered throughout the year.

Notably, IO Interactive’s Hakan Abrak introduced today’s trailer by revealing that the modern Hitman III trilogy has been played by 50 million, an impressive milestone instead. You can check out the video sequence for yourself below.

Twinfinite reviewed Hitman III earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed, scoring the game 4/5 and concluding:

“Without straying far from the successful sandbox formula, it’s an excellent final part of IO’s trilogy. While the increased freedom and level variety won’t be for everyone, Hitman 3 boasts some of the best locations and stories the series has ever seen, and there’s so much to uncover in each and every one of them.”

Following its successful launch, IO Interactive has since stated that Hitman will be “taking a break,” presumably meaning that there’s no plans for a fourth game anytime soon.

Ruined King: A League of Legends Story on PS5

For an IP that is well established in the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) space, it has been clear for some time now that League of Legends needed to branch out to bring in a bigger audience to its colorful universe. That desire to conquer more genres gave birth to Riot Forge, Riot Games’ publishing arm, and in turn, Airship Syndicate’s turn-based roleplaying game, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story.

Taking players into the world of Runeterra, and more specifically, Bilgewater Bay, we enter a world on the cusp of annihilation due to the Black Mists. While the denizens are more than used to the creeping fog emanating from the Shadow Isles, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story magnifies the threat and puts the whole of Runeterra in danger. The only hope of stopping the unrelenting march of the Black Mists are six heroes: Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Pyke, Ahri, and Yasuo.

A Link to the Past was released 30 years ago on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and The Legend of Zelda series has never been the same since. Though it wasn’t the first game in the franchise, A Link to the Past helped define the series in many ways.

This was the game that set the Zelda formula that we know and love today. It introduced many items and conventions that became a staple of the series, such as the existence of the Master Sword, specially themed dungeons, an unforgettable plot twist, and so much more.

A Link to the Past was also re-released multiple times, from appearing on handhelds like the Game Boy Advance, the Virtual Console, the SNES Classic, and finally Nintendo Switch Online. It’s truly a testament to how well the game holds up 30 years later and appeals to multiple generations of gamers; it still inspires players today.

Whether you played A Link to the Past when it was released back in the day or for the first time in recent years, we want to see how much you remember about the game. Think you know everything? Take our trivia quiz to find out if you’re an expert.

Today Koei Tecmo released a new trailer of the upcoming JRPG  Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream.

This time around, the trailer introduces Plachta, following the one that showcased Sophie herself last week (Which was released today in English and you can watch it at the bottom of the post). She’s voiced by Yuka Iguchi, who also played Lucy in Rune Factory 5, Kawakaze in Azur Lane, and Hibari in the Senran Kagura series. Of course, she also played Plachta in the first Atelier Sophie, since Gust is pretending that they aren’t the same character.

You can check the video out below, alongside a blurb officially describing Plachta.

“A young alchemist who arrived in Erde Wiege before Sophie.

She spends her days in her own atelier researching and accumulating knowledge about alchemy from dawn to dusk.

A cool theorist, she shows a vast aray of emotions such as her eyes sparkling at research into the unknown, crying after losing a match

She shares the same name as Sophie’s friend Plachta, but it appears she doesn’t know Sophie…?”

Today Aniplex and Sega revealed the release date and new trailers for the update that will bring new playable characters to the recently-released game Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles.

Susamaru and Yahaba will become playable in the versus mode with a free update coming on November 24, following the previous update that added Rui and Akaza.

We already know that a third pair will be added with another update down the line. They’ likely be announced next month.

You can check out the two trailers below.

Today Nexon released a brand new trailer of the upcoming fighting game DNF Duel, inspired by the Dungeon Fighter franchise (also known as Dungeon & Fighter in Korea).

As soon as you see the trailer, you’re probably going to recognize the developer, which is Arc System Works. If someone said that at least the visuals look like Guilty Gear with different characters, I certainly would not blame them, and it’s not a complaint.

You can check it out and see for yourself below.

Dungeon Fighter Online is quite popular worldwide (admittedly a lot more in Asia than in the west) and the game has social media accounts in English, so we can certainly expect a western release.

Dungeon Fighter Online is one of the most played games in the world if you look at actual revenue, so it was pretty much a matter of time for it to expand to other genres and markets.

At the moment, no platforms or release windows have been announced, so we’ll have to wait for further information on that front. In the meanwhile, you can watch a previous trailer and see how the game evolved.

Today Spike Chunsoft released new screenshots of the upcoming Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness JRPG that was revealed back in May 2021.

We get to see quite a few images from gameplay, including the equipment menu and the character customization.

You can check them out below.
