Bravely Default II

10 Best JRPGs in 2021 to Keep on Your Radar

If you’re a fan of more classic Final Fantasy adventures with lots of classes/job customization, then Bravely Default II looks as though it’s likely to prove a good fit. You’ll command the chibi-style characters as they defeat progress through the game order to obtain even more new jobs to play around with.

Some of these jobs include classics like White Mage, Black Mage, Thief, Monk, Ranger, and Freelancer. While there are also new jobs like Gambler, Berserker, Pictomaster, and Shieldmaster.

GTA V has been around for years at this point, and it looks like it’ll continue to stick around for a bit more, especially as the game is about to receive new life and updates with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions. One of the best and most meme-worthy parts of the game occurs early on, when Lamar insults Franklin before walking off.

The entire scene is hilarious from start to finish, from the lyrical way Lamar throws out his insults, to Franklin going, “What?” at the end, raising his arms indignantly. The scene has been recreated multiple times with iconic characters like Spongebob, but we might have hit peak meme this time.

GTA V actors Slink Johnson and Shawn Fonteno reprise their roles as Lamar and Franklin, and completely reenact the scene in its entirety. It’s incredibly accurate to the in-game scene as well, from the way Lamar looks off in the wrong direction at the end of one shot, and is immediately back to facing Franklin in the next cut, all within one sentence.

GTA V was a fantastic open-world game, and continues to be incredibly fun to play even today. It’s now available on PC and consoles.

Today third-party add-on developer TDM Scenery Design announced that two airports are in the works for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The first is Valencia (LEVC), tenth-busiest aport in Spain and home to plenty of airliner traffic.

You can see a work-in-progress look at the ATC tower below.

A new deathmatch map and “micro-event” offering cosmetic rewards are now available in Overwatch starting today, Blizzard Entertainment announced.

The micro-event is called the Kanezaka Challenge, named after the new map. Players can earn free cosmetic rewards for winning a certain amount of games in Quick Play, Competitive Play, and Arcade modes beginning today until Monday, Jan. 25.

Winning three games earns a Pagoda Icon, winning six games earns the Yōkai Spray, and winning nine games rewards with an epic Kyōgisha skin for Hanzo. Players can also receive up to six free sprays by watching participating Twitch streams for six hours while having both Twitch and Blizzard Battle.net accounts connected.

The new deathmatch map is called Kanezaka, and is described as “a quiet town nestled in the shadow of Hanamura.” It contains shops such as a cat café, a pottery workshop, and a local bar. The free-for-all map also contains “contextual storytelling” and “some Easter eggs and some payoff that’s going to come in Overwatch 2,” according to game director Jeff Kaplan in a developer’s update video last month.

The Kanezaka Challenge event is now live in Overwatch until Jan. 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Yu-Gi-Oh games come a dime a dozen, literally there are dozens across every console generation for the last two decades.

Four years ago Konami released arguably the best iteration of the bunch, Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, and today they have launched a special celebration.

To say the game has become popular in those four years would be an understatement, as last year the game crossed the 100 million download mark.

Four years is a long time for any game to stay relevant and keep a strong fanbase these days, and Konami is celebrating this achievement with a special anniversary campaign. Check out the trailer below.

The usual freebies are included in this event, with plenty of gems and a few cosmetics, and a large amount of UR and SR tickets that unlock some of the rarest cards in the game.

Today, Bethesda revealed that MachineGames, the developer of the recent Wolfenstein reboot series, is working on a new Indiana Jones game, with Todd Howard producing. Although we know it’ll feature “an original story,” nothing else has been revealed about it quite yet. Here are seven things we hope feature in the new game once it’s out.

Today Koei Tecmo updated Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation with the first chance to unlock Twukushi without spending real money.

While the recently-added and rather geeky young lady joined the cast a few months ago, the free-to-play game relegates new girls to paid-only gachas for several months.

Today fans fan finally enjoy a gacha that doesn’t require paid V-stones and offers the ability to unlock Tsukushi.

That being said, don’t get too enthused by the 3.3% mention you’ll see on the banner if you can’t read Japanese.

The gacha has the usual 1.1% chance to give you one of three SSR outfits (for Tsukushi, Honoka, and Leifang). You’ll unlock the 3.3% chance only every three rolls. If after the third roll you use paid V-stones, you can keep the 3.3%, while using free V-stones, you’ll reset the chance to 1.1%. I guess we should look at the glass half full here.

In the meanwhile, you can check out the new outfits in the trailer below.

Today Xseed Games shared two new trailers and a batch of screenshots of its upcoming farming game Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town.

The new assets focus on the perspectives grooms and brides that you can meet in the game, which is rather relevant considering the relevant role romance plays in Story of Seasons.

You can check them all out below.

Bloober Team released a new trailer showing off its upcoming third-person psychological horror game The Medium.

This new video focuses on showcasing RTX tech support for the game, which will come with DirectX Raytracing and NVIDIA DLSS out of the box on PC.

You can check it out below.

The Medium can already be pre-ordered both for Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam. It’ll release on Jan. 18, 20211.

Today NIS America announced the western release date of the Nintendo Switch version of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV.

The game will launch on Nintendo’s console on April 9, 2021 in both Europe and North America.

Fans in Oceania will have to wait a bit longer, as the game will hit that market on April 16.

The game is already available on PS4, while the PC version’s release date will be announced at a later time.

The western release comes less than a month after the launch for Japan, which isn’t bad at all.

A Frontline Edition will be available for those who want to go above and beyond.

Publisher tinyBuild has today announced that the dark Sci-Fi Action RPG Hellpoint from developer Cradle Games will be released digitally for Nintendo Switch on Feb. 25 followed by a physical release on Feb. 26.

Twinfinite reviewed the game back in August of last year on PS4 and was impressed by a number of its features. In particular, Hellpoint’s unsettling but beautiful setting, and its compelling mix of science fiction and cosmic horror, which is an aesthetic reflected in its world and boss design.

If you’ve played Souls games before you should know what to expect: a weighty, deliberate combat system that punishes mistakes, while RPG mechanics add further layers of strategy to each encounter.

You can check out an extended gameplay demonstration of the game running on Switch below.

For those looking forward to playing Hellpoint on next-generation systems, Previously, Cradle Games has previously confirmed the game will be coming to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 later in 2021, bringing higher resolutions and additional graphical features from the PC version to the new consoles.

Just over a month after the announcement of the next DLC expansion for Dead Cells, developer Motion Twin has officially announced the release date –and its sooner than expected.

The next set of DLC for the game titled Fatal Falls will be coming to Dead Cells later this month on Jan. 26 for PC and console versions of the game.

The release date was announced through a tweet from Motion Twin’s Twitter account, along with a new gameplay trailer.

The DLC will include two mid-game biomes, The Fractured Shrines and The Undying Shores, a new boss called The Scarecrow, and a ton of new weapons and items –some of which can be seen in the trailer above.

The Fatal Falls DLC will cost $4.99 USD. However, in a follow-up tweet, the developer announced a special pricing bundle for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, titled Dead Cells: The Fatal Seed Bundle.

Today, during its livestreamed CES 2021 conference Nvidia announced new games that will support DLSS and RTX ray tracing.

We learn that Call of Duty: Warzone, Outriders, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach, and F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch will support DLSS.

On top of that, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach and F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch will also support RTX ray tracing.

Lastly, Rainbow Six Siege and Overwatch will support the Nvidia Reflex anti-latency thech.

Below you can check out a trailer for Outriders, one for F.I.S.T.: Forged in Shadow Torch, and gameplay of Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach.

Valorant’s Episode 2 has just gone live on North American servers, and to celebrate, developer Riot Games has just released a new trailer providing a full overview of everything new.

As we’ve run through already in our feature article earlier this week, it’s the sneaky new Duelist Agent Yoru that has everybody most excited. You’ll see him in action below, but he’s already had the spotlight in a dedicated trailer previously.

Elsewhere, new balancing changes to Agents Omen and Brimstone should make an interesting impact on the game’s meta. It’s also worth mentioning that the update’s patch notes released earlier today also allude to future changes coming for Viper, though nothing has been set in stone.

Other major changes include a complete overhaul to Valorant’s competitive matchmaking, which will now revolve around an all-new points-based system that replaces the confusing arrows of Episode 1. There’s also a leader board coming that’ll be of note to the top 500 players.

Finally, there is, of course, a brand new season of the battle pass that kicks off today, bringing with it three new skin lines among other cool cosmetics. Keep an eye out as you watch the below trailer and you’ll see a number of them showcased.

In a year where everyone had more time on their hands than they expected, good RPGs that one could lose themselves in were a godsend. Fortunately, the year was full of great role playing experiences to check out, ranging from new offerings dipping their toes into the genre to triumphant returns to form by legacy franchises. Of them, these are the best RPG games of 2020.

2020 was possibly the year in which good storytelling was needed the most to help us through months spent at home, and gaming certainly delivered. Part of Twinfinite’s Game of the Year awards, here are the Best Adventure Narrative & Visual Novel Games of 2020.

Voted on by our editors and staff, these were the narrative games that stood out the most in the past year.

Today, Bethesda Softworks released a teaser for MachineGames and LucasFilm Games’ upcoming, collaborative project — a new Indiana Jones game.

Revealed on Twitter, the teaser trailer was accompanied by the following :

“A new Indian Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with LucasFilm Games. It’ll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news.”

While Bethesda yet isn’t ready to detail this all-new entry in Indy’s esteemed archaeological career, I’ve spent the past 45 minutes since the trailer dropped pouring over it, trying to piece together exactly what the story will look like.

First things first, it looks like Indiana’s upcoming adventure will take place sometime in 1937, as the date on the plane ticket to Rome suggests.

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo released one more trailer for one of its newest character recently added to the popular action RPG.

The trailer focuses on Ganyu, and this time it’s a deep dive into her skills and abilities, providing a rather extensive look and what she can do in battle.

You can check her out below. If you want to see more about her, you can also enjoy her introduction trailer and the previous look at her gameplay.

Here’s a brief introduction for Ganyu.

“Light-footed, she paces the streets and alleys. She has some secrets regarding Liyue Harbor to share with you at night before the rising of the sun.”

It’s finally award season here at Twinfinite! Over the coming weeks of January we’re going to look back at our favorite games of 2020. That includes the wealth of strong strategy games the year has seen, from the field of new spin-offs through to new releases in established, popular series. These are the best strategy games of 2020.

Voted on by our editors and staff writers, these were the strategy games that stood apart from the pack. So, let’s check out the four that stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Today Lucasfilm Games and Bethesda Softworks announced that a brand new Indiana Jones game is coming.

The game will be developed by MachineGames, which you may know for the Wolfenstein series. On top of that, Todd Howard of The Elder Scrolls fame will act as executive producer.

According to the announcement, the game will tell an original story, which will also be “standalone,” likely meaning that it isn’t linked to any specific movie and won’t require having watched or played the previous installment of the series.

You can find a short teaser in the tweet below and see if it gets you excited for this new Indiana Jones game.

At the moment, no further details have been announced, and we can only hope that the tease won’t be as far away from the actual release (or any more revels) as other Bethesda games like Starfield or The Elder Scrolls VI.

Developers Bungie and Riot Games are taking legal action against a cheating software creators called GatorCheat, whom they believe have made “tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars” selling cheats.

The news comes by way of a report from Polygon earlier this week, which notes that the malicious software for both Destiny 2 and Valorant is being sold at $90USD a month, $250 for three months, or $500 USD for lifetime access.

The lawsuit is actually visible to the public and can be viewed here. A section reads in part:

“The Cheating Software enables players to manipulate Valorant and Destiny 2 to their personal advantage, such as by automatically aiming weapons, revealing the locations of opponents, and allowing the player to see a vast array of information that otherwise would be obscured”.

This isn’t the first time a developer has gone after GatorCheats. Polygon notes that Bungie has previously issued a cease and desist notice to the company, which prompted GatorCheats to vow it would stop selling the software and only support those who had already purchased it.

However, Bungie’s lawyers believe GatorCheats has continued to sell the product through a hidden section of its website.

Boo! A spookily spectactular new Stuff Pack is coming later this month to haunt your Sims. The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff Pack will be released later this month, with lots of new gameplay, Build/Buy mode, and Create-A-Sim additions.

Have a look at the upcoming pack yourself here!

There will be new mayhem for your Sims on Haunted House lots, but thankfully you won’t be left without options. Sims will be able to cleanse their homes, performe seances, befriend ghosts, and restore order. A new career option presents itself for Sims as well– Paranormal Investigator. Get ready to interact with cursed objects, commune with the dead, and even exchange gifts with friendly spirits. A new Medium skill coming with The Sims 4 Paranormal Stuff will let you taken on gigs to expel other Sims’ unwelcome ghosts and calm them.

Bonehilda, anyone? The well-known NPC from The Sims: Makin’ Magic and The Sims 4’s Supernatural expansion seems to be making a comeback in The Sims 4 with the new Paranormal Stuff Pack. She’ll be there to fulfill all of your skeleton maid needs.

The latest version update for Final Fantasy XI has arrived and it’s quite significant in comparison to the last few that have dropped.

The update adds a new area to Odyssey called Sheol: Gaol. We’ve known content to Odyssey was on the way, but with the patch notes now revealed and the update out in the wild we have a better idea of what the event will look like.

First, you’ll have to have completed the Records of Eminience objectives for the other three Odyssey areas added thus far: Sheol A, B, and C before you can even enter.

Then, you’ll want to group up with a party of up to six people max, none of which can be on duplicate jobs, which is an interesting requirement. You’ll be fighting a boss NM when entering Sheol: Gaol, and defeating it will unlock the ability to purchase equipment from the ??? Moogle in Rabao using in-event currency. The difficulty can be raised to presumably increase the rewards.

These items can augmented and as you defeat more NMs, you’ll unlock more items to purchase. What’s interesting is that depending on how popular the item is on your server, the price will change. Presumably it will go up if it’s popular and possibly down if it’s not as popular.

That’s the general idea, but feel free to give the January 2021 Final Fantasy XI version update’s patch notes a read if you’re interested in learning more.

Plenty of games are getting next-gen updates these days. Some developers have even delayed their upgrades so that their games can look their very best on your shiny new consoles. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is getting its own optimization update, increasing the next-gen frame rate to 60FPS.

It’s Respawn’s turn to splash a new coat of paint on their game with these improvements. The update is live now, so here’s a list of exactly what’s being introduced in it for each console, straight from EA’s website:

Xbox Series S

• Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS (up from 45 FPS)

Xbox Series X Performance mode

• Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS
• Dynamic resolution added in the range of 1080p to 1440p

Xbox Series X Normal mode (non-performance mode)

• Postprocessing has been increased to 4K
• Dynamic resolution in the range of 1512p to 2160p

PlayStation 5

• Jedi Fallen Order Framerate has been increased to 60 FPS (up from 45 FPS)
• Postprocessing increased to 1440p
• Dynamic resolution has been disabled and the game is rendering at 1200p (up from 810-1080p)

Download the update now to play Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in 60FPS on console. If you’re loving the game, you should also know that Cal’s lightsaber is available at the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Disney Park in real life.

Warzone isn’t a stranger to a glitch or exploit. Being able to duplicate Juggernaut suits, fly helicopters under the map, or become completely invisible are all things that have cropped up over the 10 months since the mode launched. None of those are as infamous as the Infinite Stim Glitch however, which has returned once more this week, and it’s more widespread than ever.

The glitch has reared its ugly head a few times already. It first infiltrated Modern Warfare’s multiplayer last July, before appearing in Warzone in early October and mid-November, only to be patched a few days later each time.

The stim glitch lets you sit in the gas anywhere on the map, healing yourself with the Medical Syringe tactical item over and over again, presumably for ever, or until Activision turns the server off at least.

Anyone not doing that will then be killed as the gas closes in, resigned to being cheated out of a win, leaving the exploiting player(s) alive somewhere else on the map for the free Warzone victory. You can see below exactly how it works.

While almost all the new content coming in Valorant’s Episode 2 had already been revealed, the anticipated changes to its matchmaking system were still being kept tight-lipped by Riot Games. That is until a live stream aired last night detailing a major overhaul that should hopefully improve its competitive gameplay experience across the board.

At its center is a new point-based system that replaces the notoriously unclear arrow system previously. Riot hopes the numbers better communicate to players how much XP they should expect to gain and why they’re moving either up or down the ranks in the first place. you’re moving in the first place. There’s also a new progress bar to help further clear up the picture.

Here’s a breakdown of how MMR is determined via Riot’s overview:

If you consider yourself a Potterhead, or a big fan of the Harry Potter universe, then chances are you can name a lot of the characters. The real difficulty lies within being able to name the more minor witches and wizard. This Harry Potter side character quiz will test your knowledge and let you know just how much you actually know.

It’s time to shine the spotlight on the less-known, forgotten side characters in this quiz. Have a go at it!

Weapon Balancing

Weapon balancing is arguably the most problematic part of Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer right now, much as it’s also the case in Warzone. A lot of this centers around the DMR, a semi-automatic rifle with little to no recoil and enough firepower to drop an enemy in just a few shots. It should be right at the top of the list for a nerf in Cold War’s mid-season update, but it shouldn’t stop there.

The more I’ve played multiplayer, the more it’s become clear that weapon classes don’t really mean anything anymore. In past titles, each weapon class — Assault Rifles, SMGs, LMGs, Shotguns, Tactical Rifles etc. — have felt like they had a distinct purpose in the meta. Strengths and weaknesses that meant one weapon couldn’t just be your go-to for every map and game type. In Cold War, that’s not the case.

This morning, Nintendo shared a brand new trailer for the upcoming game Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. In addition, they announced an event for Super Mario Bros. 35 and a special edition Switch console.

The trailer for the game was approximately two minutes in length and mostly featured gameplay from the Super Mario 3D world part of the game. The second half of the trailer, called “A Bigger Badder Bowser,” finally gave us a glimpse of what we can expect from the Bowser’s Fury portion.

We see Bowser grow to a gigantic size and turn dark in color, looking totally evil and quite epic. It looks like it’s impossible for Mario to battle him until we see Mario use his cat costume to also grow just as massive.

It seems like a substantial amount of new content that adds value to Super Mario 3D World, which originally released on the Wii U.

The trailer isn’t the only bit of news Nintendo shared this morning. They also revealed a brand new special edition Switch console with a Mario theme.

It’s called Nintendo Switch – Mario Red & Blue Edition, which features a color scheme to honor Mario’s outfit. It will launch at the same time as Super Mario 3D World and Bowser’s Fury in a bundle with a carrying case and screen protector.

This special edition is the first time the Switch system itself will be available in a new color beyond the standard black.

One last bit of news that Nintendo shared today: Super Mario Bros. 35, which is available free for Switch Online subscribers, will be receiving three events from January to March. Players can work together to complete goals during a set period of time.

The first event will run from Jan. 18 to Jan. 25, and players will work together to defeat 3.5 million Bowsers during this time, with platinum points awarded to players for succeeding.

Despite how difficult a year it may have been, 2020 will at least go down in history as another great year for gaming. In fact, there were so many good games that came out this year, it feels like a lot of titles have not received the recognition they deserve. Below, we’ve compiled a list of seven of those games, detailing which releases from 2020 we think were the most underappreciated. Be sure to leave your own opinion in the comments section as well.

2021 is set to be a great year for video games. It’ll be the first full year of the PS5 and Xbox Series X’s life cycle, and that’s sure to bring plenty of exciting tasters of what’s to come in this new generation of consoles. To highlight just a handful of the most anticipated games to release this year, we’ve picked out 10 games with currently confirmed 2021 release dates that you should most definitely have on your radar.

To clarify, we’ve not included games that have a vague 2021 release window, as these are always a little more liable to getting delayed, especially given the current pandemic backdrop to day-to-day life that is sure to affect the development process of some of the biggest and best AAA titles.

But don’t worry, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Halo Infinite, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Far Cry 6 and many more haven’t been forgotten. We’re just as eager to play those, as we are those that we included on this list.

Activision announced it will be offering a free trial week of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies modes across PC and consoles.

New players on Battle.net for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles can download and play the game containing only the Zombies modes from Thursday, Jan. 14 to Thursday, Jan. 21.

Players will need to buy the full game after the free access week ends to continue playing with progress carrying over, similar to when the publisher offered free access to just the game’s competitive multiplayer for a limited time last month.

The free trial week will offer two to three Zombies modes depending on platform. Players will have access to Die Maschine, the regular Zombies mode where up to four players survive against waves of zombies with power ups and secrets to uncover, and Cranked which requires players to continually defeat zombies on a timer or die when it runs out.

The Onslaught mode will also be available for PlayStation players only, since the mode is a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 exclusive until November 2021. The mode offers two players to kill waves of zombies in specific areas on the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer maps for rewards.

The post Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Offers Free Zombies For Limited Time appeared first on Twinfinite.

Remember when Twitch Plays Pokemon was a whole thing? Well, if you thought that was a mess, you’ll be glad to know that it’s now possible to play the entirety of Pokemon Red through someone’s Twitter profile picture.

This project was developed by Constantin Lietard and pushed out to Twitter over the weekend. How it works is that you can reply to the tweet embedded below with a button input command, and the game will automatically upload a screenshot to update the Twitter avatar to show progress.

It’s a little bit silly, especially since progress is so slow and can be hard to track with so many people trying to play, but it’s still an entertaining endeavor nonetheless. The program will pull a command from the replies every 15 seconds and apply it to the game.

In addition to that, there is also a new Discord server set up to help organize the efforts to try to beat Pokemon Red on Twitter, which you can check out here.

Phasmophobia released on Steam early access last year and it ended up being a pretty big hit. The game felt truly horrifying because of how players were forced to interact with various ghosts in different ways, including using their mics to talk to them and wait for a response. The overall atmosphere of Phasmophobia was eerie and excellent, and it hasn’t even been fully released yet.

Kinetic Games sent out a couple of tweets today stating that the new beta build for the game includes a change where ghosts can now listen out for player voices through in-game chat. Whenever the ghost hears player voices, they’ll actively move to that location and start searching there.

Today Bandai Namco released a new trailer of the upcoming Tales of Festival 2020 dedicated to the popular JRPG series.

The year may sound confusing, as the event was supposed to happen last summer in Yokohama. It has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s now happening between March 6 and March 7.

A rich cast of voice actors from past games of the series will be in attendance.

At the moment, we don’t know if we can expect relevant news about Tales of Arise, which has been delayed to 2021, but we did recently hear from producer Yusuke Tomizawa that the publisher is preparing to release more information, so we’ll have to wait and see.

It is worth mentioning that the previous Tales of Festival, hosted in June 2019, did include a trailer and assets showcasing the upcoming game, so there certainly is hope.

In the meanwhile, you can enjoy the trailer below.

Tales of Arise was originally slated for 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Nintendo of America has just announced on their official Twitter that they will be sharing a brand new trailer for the upcoming Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury tomorrow morning.

It seems like the trailer will be posted right to Twitter (and probably also YouTube afterwards), so there won’t be a typical Nintendo Direct format for this announcement.

Instead, Nintendo invites us to check back with them at 6 am PT / 9 am ET on Jan. 12 to see the two minute long trailer.

While EA is probably synonymous with the Star Wars game releases at this point, it looks like fans of the franchise can look forward to a new era with the establishment of Lucasfilm Games, which is meant to be a new identity “developed in collaboration with the finest studios across the industry.”

What this means is that while developing studios like EA will likely continue to produce Star Wars games, all titles related to the franchise going forward will also bear the Lucasfilm Games name as well.

‘Lucasfilm’s legacy in gaming stretches back decades. And with Lucasfilm and the galaxy far, far away entering a new and unprecedented phase of creativity, so will the world of Lucasfilm Games — developed in collaboration with the finest studios across the industry.
StarWars.com is thrilled to reveal that Lucasfilm Games is now the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm, a name that encompasses the company’s rich catalog of video games and its eye toward the future. To mark this new era, Lucasfilm Games has launched social channels on Twitter (@LucasfilmGames) and Facebook (@LucasfilmGames), which will deliver breaking news and more directly to fans.’

StarWars.com

The announcement also included a new sizzle reel for past Star Wars games, including Fallen Order and Battlefront, which you can check out down below.

Sony is currently hosting its press event at CES 2021 and PlayStation 5 was at the forefront of the presentation.

The new console opened the conference, with president Kenichiro Yoshida talking about the launch of the console.

You can check out a recording of Yoshida-san speech below, ending with the usual “Play Has No Limits” slogan.

Next, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan talked specifically about the PlayStation business, highlighting the expansion of the PlayStation IP to “new media” including the Uncharted movie with Tom Holland and the The Last of Us series on HBO.

He also claimed that the PS5’s was SIE’s most successful launch and the biggest console launch of all time.

Today third-party add-on developer Orbx announced another Norwegian airport that will make an appearance in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

This time around, it’s Sandefjord Torp Airport (ENTO), which is a rather handy low-cost alternative for those who want to visit Oslo.

At the moment, pricing and release date have not yet been revealed, but you can enjoy a series of screenshots and an official description below.

Today Npixel released more trailers of its upcoming MMORPG Gran Saga.

The first trailer showcases the arena minigame, which pixes teams pf three characters against each other with a gameplay tempo that will prove rather familiar to many JRPG fans.

The second trailer provides a look at the guild hall, one of the social environments of the game, on top of its features.

You can check both out below.

Gran Saga is coming for PC and mobile (both iOS and Android) will launch in South Korea on January 26.
