Today Koei Tecmo released an extensive trailer and gameplay of the upcoming Blue Reflection sequel Blue Reflection Tie, titled Blue Reflection: Second Light in English.

The video focuses on introducing the cast of characters that we’ll meet in the game on top of its rather surreal story and some of the gameplay features.

We also get to see a lot of gameplay showcased during a livestream from Japan, including exploration, combat, the dressing room, and more.

On top of that, we also get a video with a preview of the soundtrack.

You can check all the videos out below.

Humankind is the new 4X strategy game from Amplitude Studios and Sega, and it’s set to be released for PC next week. In even more exciting news, however, Microsoft has also just announced that the game will be available for Game Pass users at launch.

This means that if you’re a Game Pass subscriber, you’ll be able to download the game via the Xbox client on your PC and play it through there.

The game tasks players with building their own civilization from scratch, while making scientific progress and breakthroughs to make your empire even bigger and better.

“Humankind is a convergence of culture, history, and values that allows you to create a civilization that is as unique as you are. You’ll be re-writing the entire narrative of human history (…no pressure) from its humble beginnings in the Neolithic Era, as you set out to leave the biggest mark on the world.“

Humankind is set to be released for PC on Aug. 17.

Today Microsoft announced its plans for Gamescom 2021, which will take palace exclusively online once more this year between August 25 and August 27.

The celebrations will kick off the day before the event with the Xbox Stream on August 24 at 10:00 am PDT, 1:00 pm EDT, 6:00 pm BST, or 7:00 pm CEST on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, Twitter.

The event promises more information about Xbox’s “biggest exclusive games lineup ever” and more specifically the following:

“You’ll get in-depth updates from some of our previously announced Xbox Game Studios titles alongside some of our third-party partners, including some of the incredible titles coming to Xbox this holiday, upcoming releases to our monthly subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, and much more.”

The announcement also mentions Opening Night Live, possibly hinting that there will be more to see from Microsoft when it airs on August 25 at 11:00 am PDT, 2:00 pm EDT, 7 pm BST, or 8:00 pm CEST.

Last, but not least, there will also be a series of livestream dedicated to Bethesda that will happen on the developer’s Twitch channel starting on August 26.

No Man’s Sky is easily one of the most infamous titles in video game history, thanks to its extremely rocky launch and poor state at release. The game lacked many of its core promised features when it launched, resulting in heavy fan backlash.

However, Hello Games continued to work on the game and slowly pushed out several free updates that eventually added those same promised features, and even more. With the game now celebrating its fifth year anniversary, Hello Games has put out a short video looking back at all of the updates we’ve seen so far, along with a tease of what’s coming next.

You can check out the trailer for yourself down below.

Frontiers has been revealed to be the title of the next update in No Man’s Sky, and while there are no details yet, the name alone suggests that there might be even more new planets and biomes to explore. The game is now available on PC and consoles, and we’ll keep you updated as more info comes our way.

The next time you feel the need to make an excuse for your poor performance in a Valorant ranked game, don’t. Just keep quiet and take it on the chin. That’s what I’ve been telling myself over the past few weeks, anyway, ever since watching aspiring South African Valorant pro Garret ‘Mangolorian’ Laird top-frag a Diamond Elo game with 170 MS.

Playing on a European server over 7,000 miles away from his home in Midrand, South Africa, Mangolorian somehow put us all to shame; we watched in disbelief as he landed headshots on players who appeared to be a foot behind his crosshair, and laughed hysterically as his dead body teleported back to a wall or box he’d passed seconds earlier whenever he was taken out.

As extraordinary as all this was to us, though, for Mangolorian it’s the norm. South Africa doesn’t have its own Valorant servers, he explained during the game, and so his best option is to play on Europe’s, which means he’s faced with the daunting task of having to compete with absurdly high ping.

Still confused and slightly disheartened that he’d just out fragged me even despite a massive disadvantage, I had to learn more. As it turns out, he’s even better than he’d been letting on, and the unusual South African Valorant scene is far bigger than I could have imagined.

The Ascent is a new cyberpunk-themed co-op shooter game that just got released for PC and consoles, and while we didn’t exactly have the best time with it, there’s no denying that it’s a pretty game. However, the game hasn’t been without its issues on PC.

Those playing the Windows 10 or Xbox Game Pass version have noticed that there’s no ray tracing available in that version, even though it’s available in the Steam one. However, Neon Giant is addressing that issue with a new patch out for PC today.

Here are the big changes for PC:

• Fixes to improve performance in DX12, also with Ray Tracing.
• Note to Players: on first running of the update, there will be a 20-25 second ‘stall’ on loading to Main Menu to allow some caching to happen before you play. This is a one time event.
• Ray Tracing is now available to Players on the Windows Store.
• Improved loading in of NPCs
• CPU performance mode for lower-end PCs

The patch also includes new stability and gameplay fixes for all platforms, and you can check out the full patch notes here.

The Ascent is now available on PC and consoles.

Following the release of version 2.0 of Genshin Impact and its new region, Inazuma, Mihoyo launched a new trailer introducing one of the new characters.

We get the introduction to Yoimiya, a talented pyrotechnician also known as the “queen of the summer festival.” This time around, we get to see her in action, unlike her previous trailer.

She will be available via the game’s gacha soon, on August 10.

You can check her out below, both with English and Japanese voice acting (featuring adorable Kansai-ben), depending on your preference.

With the new Emergence update for Apex Legends, we’ve also seen the release of the Seer Legend, who launched with an exciting set of skills and abilities for players to mess around with. However, as we’ve seen from the subreddit so far, it looks like the player base is pretty much in agreement that the Seer is a little bit too powerful at the moment.

In a Reddit AMA session, Respawn agreed that the Seer definitely needed some balancing updates, as some of his skills such as his ability to disrupt player revives were a bit too skewed in his favor at the moment.

While we didn’t get a concrete time frame for when the new balance update would be released, Respawn did promise that it was coming soon, and that players wouldn’t have to wait till the midseason.

Apex Legends is now available on PC and consoles.

Back 4 Blood is the new Left 4 Dead successor from Turtle Rock Studios, allowing four players to team up and fight against hordes of zombies in a co-op action game. From what we’ve played of the alpha and beta so far, it’s definitely shaping up to be a worthy successor, and we’re not the only ones who think so.

According to SteamDB, as spotted by PCGamesN, the Back 4 Blood beta managed to reach a peak of 98,024 players, which is really impressive, and even beats out games like Team Fortress 2 and Warframe, both also very popular multiplayer games with a solid player base.

Back 4 Blood takes the L4D formula and puts a spin on it with a card system that allows players to receive buffs or other perks during a round. The game is set to be released for PC and consoles on Oct. 12.

It’s also the sequel of Students of the Round, which was released in 2010 for PSP, Xbox One, and PC.

Of course, the visuals will be improved. This release is defined as an “enhanced port.”

Netflix released a trailer of the upcoming new season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, titled Stone Ocean.

It’s the adaptation of the sixth part of Hirohiko Araki’s original manga and focuses mostly on Jolyne Cujoh.

The series will debut on the popular streaming service in December, and you can check out what it looks like, as the video introduces the story and cast for those who are not familiar with it.

Today, during its panel at Otacon, MangaGamer announced the localization of the visual novel Seventh Lair.

If the title doesn’t ring a bell, the name of its creators might, as it’s by Novectacle, known for The House of Fata Morgana.

The game is defined as “a tongue-in-cheek but emotional look at the online interactions between an indie game developer and fans.”

In other MangaGamer news, the publisher also announced some much… less innocent titles, including Love Sweets by Moonstone, Erovoice by ClockUp, and Namaiki Dark Elf Sisters by Waffle (do keep in mind that the content beyond the links may not be safe for work).

You can check out the trailer of Seventh Lair below, alongside an official description.

The add-on is currently available for approximately $19 plus applicable VAT on SimMarket. You can see what it looks like below.

Anime streaming service Crunchyroll announced that it will air the highly-anticipated Muv-Luv Alternative anime series this fall.

Debuting in October, the anime is based on the visual novel bearing the same name, considered by many (yours truly included, and proudly so) the best visual novel of all time and one of the best sci-fi stories ever written.

You can enjoy the trailer (which originally debuted in May) below.

The “Poke-Lid” trend in Japan keeps going strong as more Pokemon-themed manholes have been installed in a local city.

This time around the five new colorful manhole covers have been installed in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture.

They portray the following Pokemon (identified by our Rebecca Stone).

• Aggron
• Alolan Dugtrio & Carkol
• Sableye & Duraludon
• Gardevoir & Lunatone
• Tropius

As usual, each Poke-Lid will mark locations for PokeStops compatible with Pokemon GO.

A while ago, Muv-Luv publisher aNCHOR teased a collaboration with the anime Remake our Life! (Bokutachi no Remake). Today, we learn what it is about.

The key artwork of the beloved visual novel Muv-Luv Alternative appeared in episode 6 of the anime series as an Easter Egg.

To celebrate, the anime’s social media accounts published a lovely illustration featuring heroine Nanako Kogure wearing the iconic Hakuryo high school uniform in the same pose that Muv-Luv fans will remember for Sumika Kagami.

This comes just a couple of months before the debut of Muv-Luv Alternative’s own anime series, which is highly anticipated by the franchise’s fans.

Earlier today, Stranger Things released a sneak peek for its fourth season, teasing that something big is coming. In the video below, we also learned that Stranger Things 4 will not be releasing until 2022.

While it doesn’t offer too much new information, the Stranger Things 4 sneak peek does show off David Harbour’s return as Jim Hopper, the group playing DnD, and fan-favorite Steve swimming underwater for some reason.

For anyone that needs a quick recap of the events so far, Netflix has provided an official synopsis of the previous three seasons, which you can view down below.

Stranger Things: A love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, Stranger Things is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.

The Metroid franchise is now officially 35 years old, as the very first game was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1986. Since then, the series has grown with multiple main series games, spin-offs, and appearances in other media.

For 35 years, we played as Samus Aran the bounty hunter as she traveled across hostile alien planets to protect the galaxy from the Space Pirates that want to harness the power of the Metroids. The Metroid games mix platforming elements with exploration, and they usually place players in isolated experiences.

While the original game started the series as a 2D side-scroller, the franchise has taken steps into the first-person perspective with the Prime games. Even though Metroid hasn’t always been a top seller, the game has retained a dedicated fanbase, and Samus, along with other characters, have appeared in Super Smash Bros. and other games.

Not many games can say they’ve inspired an entire genre; Metroid is responsible for defining the Metroidvania genre of games that feature nonlinear, explorable worlds.

As we celebrate Metroid’s 35th anniversary and look forward to upcoming games in the series, we want to see just how much you know about the franchise. Only true Metroid fans will be able to ace this trivia quiz about the series. Think you know everything there is to know? Take this quiz to find out.

Yesterday, Nintendo released the first substantial update for Mario Golf: Super Rush. In this brand-new Super Rush update is a new course, a new playable character, a new mode, and several improvements to make for a more enjoyable experience out on the Mushroom Kingdom links.

Most notably is the arrival of an all-new course, New Donk City from Super Mario Odyssey fame. It looks like the map was lifted directly from Odyssey, looking oh-so-familiar in all the best ways. This particular 18-hole course is a special one because like Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour’s Congo Canopy and Mario Golf: World Tour’s Sky Island, New Donk City is entirely comprised of Par 3 holes.

Essentially, New Donk City is 36 all-new holes, because there is an amateur tee and a pro tee choice players can choose at the start of their rounds. Both feature different tee and green locations.

In the four seasons, it’s been an anime, Attack on Titan has proved itself to be one of the most impressive shows ever made, featuring amazing fight scenes and insanely detailed storylines. Unfortunately, the live-action adaptations haven’t hit the same mark, as it just seems to be a difficult transition to make things work with CGI compared to animation.

One animator is proving that it isn’t impossible for Attack on Titan to look sick using live-action, which you can see down below.

In the post to the official Attack on Titan Subreddit, Redditor Againnagainforever showed off an animation that was created by Masashi Imagawa. In the short clip, we get a shot of the Beast Titan transforming, the Walls of Paradis, and even some Survey Corp members using their vertical maneuvering equipment to get to the scene faster.

We’ve made it to the end of another long week, so what better way to celebrate the weekend than by looking at some hilarious anime memes. Whether it’s talking about banging OPs or the fact that we’d rather watch anime than do our homework, you won’t want to miss everything we’ve got for you done below.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy all of the hilarious memes we found this week. Be sure to let us know which ones were your favorites in the comments below. Also, don’t hesitate to leave any other great memes that we may have missed down there to help make us all laugh.

Today is aircraft news day for Microsoft Flight Simulator, with third-party developers providing some great assets and updates.

First of all, we hear from Fenix Simulations, which provided an update about its upcoming Airbus A320 CEO.

First of all, we get to see that with the latest update the aircraft runs with slightly higher frame rate than the default A320 NEO.

Blooper Team is readying itself to launch its acclaimed psychological horror The Medium on PlayStation 5, and those intent on playing the game can look forward to a bunch of DualSense features highlighted in a new trailer today.

Narrator Michał Napora explains how Blooper Team is “spicing up the game with some DualSense features.” This includes the use of the controller’s adaptive triggers to increase and decrease the resistance encountered when attempting to charge and use Spirit Blasts. Also, haptic feedback heightens immersion by offering different sensations according to what’s going on around Marriane as she navigates the game’s mysterious locale, an abandoned communist-era vacation resort in the Polish wilderness. It also indicates how much breath Marianne has left when evading The Maw.

Szymon Erdmański, producer at Bloober Team, also weighed in with a statement on today’s trailer:

“On PlayStation 5, we are taking full advantage of the console’s DualSense controller to immerse you even deeper into the mystery of the Niwa Hotel. Our goal is to let you feel Marianne’s reactions to what is happening as she explores and interacts with the game world.”

Koei Tecmo released an extensive gameplay video of Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires.

The game was presented on the show floor at Chinajoy in Shanghai last weekend, and today you get to take a look at the demo in action.

You can enjoy it below, and see how it changed from the original (and rather controversial) release.

Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is coming for PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam in 2021. Here’s how Koei Tecmo describes the game.

“Combining the 1 vs. 1,000 action of DYNASTY WARRIORS with the addition of strategic elements, including unit command, DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Empires sets players on a quest to conquer ancient China by both sword and strategy. Powerful Siege Battles enable commanders to deploy units to capture strategic points on the map like castles. Experiencing high-stakes fights at every turn, players can now take control of these central points on the battlefield through the use of fire attacks or other stratagem, siege weapons, and, at times, simply by force as commanders execute their strategies and attack enemy troops by issuing vital commands to units throughout the skirmish.

Today Square Enix revealed the new Moonfire Faire event that will be held in Final Fantasy XIV to celebrate the summer.

The event will require level 30 for participation, and it’ll prompt you to visit Mayaru Moyaru in Limsa Lominsa’s Upper Decks to start the quest.

It’ll start on August 13 and end on August 26.

Rewards include a Polar Bear mount, a Moonfire Mask Stall outdoor furnishing, and Costa Del Hielo (basically ice cream) and Grilled Corn tabletop furnishings.

You can see them in the image below.

Incidentally, the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Endwalker will release on November 23, 2021, for PS5, PS4, and PC. A benchmark has been released for PC, including the male viera character creation.

Compile Heart released a new trailer of Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars, known as “Senran Nin Nin Ninja Taisen Neptunia: Shojo-Tachi no Kyoen” in Japan.

The trailer focuses on the playable characters that don’t come from either of the titular series. Those are new waifu Yuki and Goh the Crow, a genderbent version of the protagonist of Shinobido: Way of the Ninja.

You can check them both out below.

Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a crossover between the Hyperdimension Neptunia series and Senran Kagura, finally bringing the latter back to consoles.

It’s coming for PS4, developed by Tamsoft and published by Compile Heart. The Japanese release is on Sept. 16, 2021, while the west will get it at some point this year, courtesy of Idea Factory international. Here’s how the publisher describes it.

Gamninjustri – a place where all manner of ninjas gather.​ As the struggle for control increased between the Daimyos of the nations, tensions rose between the two great nations, each of which was home to one of the major schools of martial arts.​
