Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be free on the Epic Games Store later this week as part of Epic Games’ promotion to give out free PC games each week from its launcher.

The open world action and stealth game follows twin assassins Jacob and Evie Frye in Victorian era London fighting against Templar control. The game also features famous figures from the era including Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Florence Nightingale, and more.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate originally released in 2015 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was the sequel to the disastrous Assassin’s Creed Unity and was followed by Assassin’s Creed Origins, which evolved the franchise with a much larger map and expanded RPG elements.

The free game will be available to claim this Thursday, Feb. 20 until Feb. 27. The Epic Games Store has two editions of the game: Standard and Gold, which contains the season pass of three add-ons.

Also available to download for free this Thursday is Faeria, a strategic card game with 300 cards to collect and “100+ hours of solo content, co-operative missions, and puzzles.” The free games currently being offered by Epic until this Thursday are open-world RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance and beat ’em up and turn-based strategy game Aztez.

The post Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Free on Epic Games Store Later This Week appeared first on Twinfinite.

Today’s news had actually been teased by both CD Projekt Red and Nvidia earlier this month in a cryptic exchange on Twitter in which both accounts had a short back and forth.

The RTX 2080 Ti is the company’s flagship GPU, representing the bleeding edge of graphical technology. It’s capable of ray-tracing, which we’ve already seen make Cyberpunk 2077 look especially beautiful in a bunch of screenshots released back at Gamescom 2019.

You can check out the new promotional trailer showcasing the card below.

The official Fortnite twitter tweeted a mysterious encoded message today, leading up to the release of Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 on Thursday of this week.

The tweet features a hinted intercepted transmission, conveniently blacked out, and a strange hand print logo. The internet has been abuzz to uncover the meaning of this hand print, but so far, Fortnite still has the upper hand.

Check out the Tweet for yourself:

This tweet isn’t the first cryptic tease for Chapter 2 Season 2 this week, either. Yesterday, Twitter account @flakespower noticed a strange Fortnite ad in a metro station in Brazil.

Following Sony’s announcement of its financial results for the past quarter, analyst Hideki Yasuda from prominent Osaka-based firm Ace Research Institute posted his analysis about the performance of PS5. 

Yasuda-san’s name is rather well-known in Japan due to his analysis and predictions focused on the gaming market.

According to him, both PS5 and PS4 should ship 6 million units during the next fiscal year, which will end on March 31, 2021. On top of that, he predicts 15 million units shipped during the following year (between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2022).

Yasuda-san also mentions that supply and demand of components by DRAM is expected to be tight, but he doesn’t think that it’ll be a big problem.

However, since the slowdown of PS4 sales has become evident, expectations for the PS5’s launch are going to increase. 

Of course, since the analysis was posted at the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak, it remains to be seen if it’ll have any effect on parts supply.

We should also keep in mind that this is an analysis by an industry professional based on his experience, so it should be taken with the customary grain of salt. 

During Sony’s financial conference call, CFO Kenichiro Yoshida mentioned that the company still didn’t have a firm grasp on the possible effects of the outbreak, even if he talked about it only in general terms and not specifically about the console market. 

Incidentally, we also heard during the call that Sony is aiming for a smooth generational transition (in financial terms) due to the revenue provided by PlayStation Plus and other network services. 

A Whole New World

Things Fortnite Got Right in Chapter 2

If there was one thing that really started to feel a little tired in Fortnite’s first 10 seasons, it was the general layout of the map. Over the course of ‘Chapter 1’ as we’ll now dub the first 10 seasons, the map changed significantly, but large parts of it remained the same. Step in Fortnite Chapter 2.

Today Sega posted an apology on the official site of the recently-released Japanese version of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix.

The developer and publisher mentions that the latest Switch-exclusive rhythm game featuring the super popular virtual idol is out of stock at many retailers in Japan, apologizing for the inconvenience caused to customers.

They also mention that there will be further shipments, so gamers are encouraged to reserve their copies to get one when they hit the shelves again.

That being said, it’ll take some time for the next shipment, so fans are also encouraged to check out the digital version on the Nintendo eShop.

On top of that, the next shipment will still include the early purchase bonus, which will be indicated by a sticker on the cover.

It appears that Sega underestimated the demand for the game. This isn’t the first time it happens in recent times, as 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim for PS4 suffered from the same issue.

Persona 5 Royal is something that most fans expected at one point or another, considering the previous two entries in the series came out with updated re-releases, Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 Golden Respectively. Even though it’s become tradition for the series, Persona 5 Royal feels like a step above even the stellar Persona 4 Golden.

At a recent preview event we were able to play roughly one hour of Persona 5 Royal, and even in that small window it was clear how much effort has gone in to making Royal something special for both new and returning fans.

Our demo had four brief sections to play through; a portion of Kamoshida’s Palace introducing the grappling hook, Kamoshida’s boss battle, a daytime event at Kichijoji, and night exploration of Kichijoji. We’ll go over each briefly,

Immediately the first thing I noticed was the visual upgrade, which I didn’t think would be as impressive as it was. Persona 5 was already a fantastic looking game, but there’s a slight upgrade in Royal to make it looks more like Dancing in Starlight, and it works.

Obviously it doesn’t feel like a brand new game, but that extra visual bit helps the game really pop, especially playing in 4K. The other neat part of this is the reworked characters portraits, which are much more animated now.

Instead of mostly static portraits, the character portraits are in constant motion now, helping add to the overall animation of the game.

About halfway through Kamoshida’s Palace the grappling hook is introduced, giving you some new options for infiltration. It’s not as easy as being able to go wherever you want, but in my demo I used the grappling hook to bypass an entire courtyard filled with enemies and climb up a tower.

Persona 5 Royal is expanding on the already massive base game with new characters, new story, new areas, and more. As with Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 Golden, the re-release promises a wealth of new content. At a recent preview event we managed to get our hands on Persona 5 Royal for roughly one hour.

While an hour is just a chip in a massive 100-hour game like Persona 5 Royal, there are still a number of little details we learned. Our demo let us play through parts of Kamoshida’s Palace and explore the new area of Kichijoji in Tokyo.

We’ve compiled everything into a handy list for your perusal, separating the changes we noticed between Kamoshida’s Palace and everything else.

For something more in-depth you can check out our full hands-on preview of Persona 5 Royal.

After over one decade from the original release on the Nintendo Wii, World of Goo is coming to a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

Thanks to publisher Super Rare Games, you’ll be able to pick up this collectible item of the cult hit starting on February 20.

Besides the cult following for World of Goo, critics also seem to love this game. Right now the Wii Metacritic score is sitting at an impressive 94. The Switch version is lower but still fantastic at 84.

The variation in the scores is likely because physics-based building games were not as prevalent as they are now. Still, it’s worth picking up World of Goo if you’re into these kinds of puzzle games.

These releases are a continuing trend that we’re seeing this generation where anything from classic licensed titles to indies are getting the physical edition treatment.

You may even be familiar Super Rare Games already since they’ve put out physical editions for popular indie titles such as Toki-Tori and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.

Also, if you’ve never played World of Goo before and you prefer to have physical media then this is a great way to expand your game library.

And if you’re a steelbook collector, then for a few dollars more you can pick up the Steelbook edition of the World of Goo physical release.

Both editions will come with the game, a reversible cover, some trading cards and a full manual. You can pick up the standard edition for $32.54 (£29.99) or the Steelbook for $52.07 (£47.99).

You’ll have to act fast on Feb. 20 to get your pre-order in since there will only be 6000 physical copies available for purchase. There is also a 2 game per-person limit to help make scalping the game more difficult.

The Joker’s recent addition to Mortal Kombat 11 is far from the craziest character to ever grace the series’ roster, but it does set a precedent for wacky and out-there guests to enter the fray. To that end, here are five other twisted guest characters who could and should come to Mortal Kombat 11.

Pennywise

Mortal Kombat has an established record of bringing horror icons into its roster, so who better to carry that mantle into Mortal Kombat 11 than Pennywise?

Bandai Namco released two new screenshots of its upcoming MMORPG Blue Protocol.

The screenshots have been shared on the game’s official Twitter (sources: 1, 2) with the perspective of more images coming during application period for the closed beta, which will end on March 2.

Incidentally, if you want to enter, you can do so here. There are 50,000 spots up for grabs, even if selection isn’t guaranteed, of course.

The first screenshot showcase a dungeon that did not appear in the past alpha test but will be implemented in the beta.

The second image showcases a “Battle Imagine” which is basically a summon that can help you during combat. There are various different kinds, including massive ones like we see here.

You can check the screenshots out below.

Today Atlus released another video of the upcoming action JRPG Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers.

This time around we get to see Morgana as he “infiltrates” Koei Tecmo’s offices and meets president and CEO Kou Shibusawa.

In turn, Shibusawa-san showcases some gameplay of the game, including a look at the storytelling part, Persona fusion in the Velvet Room, and action gameplay in a Jail. We also get to see the recently-introduced Hacking Battle feature.

Incidentally, the version showcased is the PS4 version. 

Today Square Enix made two new Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride action figures available for pre-order as part of its Bring Arts brand.

The figures portray heroines Bianca and Nera. You can find both on Ami Ami, priced at 6,390 yen each. That translates into roughly $58.

They will be released respectively in July and August 2020, one month apart.

Each figure comes with a base (Bring Arts really struggle to stand on their own) and a bunch of alternative hands.

Incidentally, they’re not the first Dragon Quest V Bring Arts figures to go up for pre-order as of late. The hero is also available for pre-order at the same price, albeit with a much earlier release window in May.

It’s not surprising to see Square Enix bring Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride back under the spotlight. The Dragon Quest: Your Story movie recently released on Netflix is based on this specific chapter of the saga.

If you’d like to see what both figures look like, you can enjoy a gallery below.

Goro Akechi is certainly a popular character in Persona 5, and soon you’ll be able to have him on your own shelf, posed however you like.

Good Smile company made its new figma portraying Crow (Goro Akechi’s Phantom Thief alter-ego) available for pre-order, and you can find it on Ami Ami. 

The price is 6,390 yen, which translates approximately into $58. Like all figma, he’s fully posable.

The release window is fairly far, October 2020. The sculpting work is by SF345 and Naoki Satou.

“This is what I was waiting for!”

From the anime “PERSONA5 the Animation” comes a figma of Crow in his Phantom Thief outfit!

The smooth yet posable figma joints allow you to act out a variety of different scenes.
A flexible plastic is used in specific areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
He comes with three face plates including a confident face, a smiling face and a sneering face.
His laser saber and ray gun are included, along with a chess piece and an alternate hair part to pose him with his mask.
An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.”

If you’re curious, you can check out what the figure looks like below.

If you’re interested in Persona 5 figures, you can also check out the recently revealed Kasumi Yoshizawa by MegaHouse.

Azur Lane publisher Yostar is continuing to reveal new content coming to its popular shipgirl-focused game Azur Lane.

First of all, we get two retrofits on the English servers, part of the gradual process of catching up to the Chinese and Japanese servers.

They’re Yuugure and Shigure, whom you can see below in their new forms.

Sonic is racking up millions of Rings this weekend.

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie blasted through the top of the box office with Sonic speed, grossing in $57 million in North America and $100 million globally.

According to Variety, the Sonic movie is expected to earn between $68-70 million through President’s Day, which will give kids who are out of school an excuse to beg their parents to take them to see Sonic.

The Sonic movie made an even bigger sonic boom on the big screen than gamers and everyone else alike expected it to, considering the long history of bad film adaptations of video games. It would’ve joined the ranks of the Super Mario Bros. movie and made at least $54 million less than it did had Jeff Fowler not listened to the Sonic fans’ outrage over the first movie trailer and redesigned Sonic.

The changes to Sonic’s movie design and the three-month delay it took to make it possible, thanks to Tyson Heese, earned the Sonic the Hedgehog movie a solid “A” on CinemaScore and knocked Birds of Prey off its nest. Ben Schwartz lifted Sonic’s super teen spirit with his youthful voice acting and Jim Carrey dipped Dr. Eggman into his manic comedic splendor — the same brand of comedy that launched his career in the ‘90s.

“The consumer always determines what is right and what is wrong. They made their voices clear, and we listened,” Chris Aronson, Paramount’s president of domestic distribution, said. “This movie exceeded [audience’s] expectations. That’s a testament to that reset and terrific performances by Jim Carrey and the entire cast.”

Today Ubisoft had a few more reveals to make about the future of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.

First of all, we get more details about the plans for the next two years. 

Following the two operators that will be released with Operation Void Edge, there will be two more in the spring from South Africa and Norway. A rework of the House map will also come.

In the summer and fall, Ubisoft will drop the number of new operators per season to one for the time being, even if they’ll ramp up the narrative content for each. 

That being said, the team is still aiming to have a hundred operators at some point, despite the fact that the trickle will slow down.

To make it up, they’ll also start applying core gameplay changes to keep the game fresh. 

Some operators will also be reworked, and every season will come with a major event and we’ll get arcade playlists, with the goal of having multiple per season as time progresses. 

You can see it all in the first video below.

The second video reveals a brand new elite skin, and this time around it’s from Tomb Raider.

For a long, long time, PlayStation fans from all over the world have gathered on the official community forums to discuss the platform they loved. Unfortunately, this is going to end soon.

With a post by PlyStation Support representative Alkaiser-One (spotted by YouTube user 5ypher, via ChrashLanded), Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that the official forums will be closing down.

The community discussion environment will remain on life support until February 27, when the plug will officially be plugged.

The post does not offer explanations of any sorts, being only a couple of lines long, but encouraging fans to instead follow the official PlayStation Blog, Twitter, and Instagram.

“Beginning 27 February, the PlayStation.com forums will no longer be available. We invite you to continue the conversation via PlayStation.Blog, Twitter, and Instagram.”

This may be a sign of times in which older-fashioned forums have lost popularity to newer forms of social media pretty much like newsgroups were replaced by forums back in the day, but it’s certainly sad to see, and the end of an era for the PlayStation community.

Recently, Sony opened the registration for a newsletter dedicated to the upcoming PS5, even if it isn’t “quite ready” to share more details.

Today Nvidia and CD Projekt RED posted an interaction on Twitter that certainly appears to be the tease of an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration.

The official Twitter account of the game tweeted at Nvidia’s GeForce account hinting to the possibility, which initially got a doubtful emoji, followed by a blurry picture of a GPU with a yellow and black chassis.

You can check the exchange out below.

Today during the Sydney event of the Gran Turismo Sport World Tour 2020, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital revealed a new car for the PS4 racing simulator.

The new car is the Le Mans GT1 Aston Martin DBR9, which debuted in real racing in 2005. 

It’s certainly a racing classic, and it was used during one of the semi-finals of the Nations Cup. 

You can watch how it races just below, while we wait for it to be added to the game.

Incidentally, the race was won by Jonathan Wong from Hong Kong. The overall World Tour event was won by Takeru Miyazono from Japan with an absolutely brilliant win at the very last second ahead of Cody Nikola Latkovski. Wong took third place at the end.

 If you’d like to see more of the game, you can enjoy the first look at the recently-revealed Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo.

Today Bandai Namco Entertainment released a brand new TV commercial of the upcoming Musou-style game One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.

As previous comercials, it focuses on one of the anime/manga arcs covered by the game, and specifically on the Whole Cake Island. The format is always the same, with the narrator reminding the viewer of “that emotional episode.”

You can check it out below.

Paradox will soon release a brand new DLC for its World War II grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV, titled La Resistance, and today they released a new trailer.

We take a look at Operations, which you could consider the heart of the expansion, as it lets you simulate support to resistance and sabotage of enemy installations like factories and so forth. 

It certainly appears to add another complexity layer to the game, and it’ll be interesting to see how it’ll affect the balance.

You can check out the video below.

f you’re unfamiliar with the DLC, which was announced at PDXCon, you can check out a brief description below, directly from Steam. 

You can also watch another vidoe focusing on the new Spanish focus tree.

Media Molecule’s Dreams is getting quite popular among gamers who love to be creative, but the perspective of making your own stuff can be a little daunting for some.

In order to explain the basics of this game-meets-creative-suite, the developers released a series of tutorial videos to help us anderstand how things work.

By watching the videos below you can find out useful info from remixing creations to sharing what you create with others.

Most of it is quite basic, but it can help you get started 

Today, during the Six Invitational 2020 tournament, Ubisoft revealed the gameplay of the two new operators that will join the roster of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege with Operation Void Edge.

We get to see Iana from the Netherlands and Oryx from Jordan, and their approaches to battle couldn’t be more different even beyond the fact that the former is an attacker and the latter is a defender.

Oryx isn’t exactly the subtle type. This sleeveless brawny dude can literally smash through walls (at the price of a bit of health) and jump up through ceiling hatches after destroying them.

On the other hand, Iana is the opposite. Using her Gemini replicator gadget she can literally generate a hologram of herself that she can control to confuse enemies and scout for ambushes.

Of course, it’s not actually physical, so she can’t use it to hurt enemies, but I’m sure you can see plenty of utility for this tool.

The hologram disappears when hit by a simple bullet and by a handful gadget. On top of that, she can’t move while she’s using it.

You can check out the video below, also featuring a rework to the Oregon map and an explanation of changes to general gameplay.

As a bonus, we also get to take a look at the new Caveira Elite Skin.

With the Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101: Remastered in full Swing, PlatinumGames published a new video starring executive producer Atsushi Inaba.

Inaba-san talks about his role as producer and then goes on to mention what the Kickstarter campaign means for PlatinumGames, which goes beyond simple monetary help.

You can check out the full video below.

“If we’re lucky enough to get a lot of support with this campaign, I feel like PlatinumGames will be able to reinvent itself in more than a few ways.

The fans’ voices will make this company stronger. The fans’ voices will allow us to release more original games.

I think it’ll be a very healthy way for us to grow. Money is important of course, but having people there to cheer us on is far more important to us.”

At the moment of this writing, the game’s Kickstarter campaign is sitting on $1630042, having passed several stretch goals following its announcement on February 3.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered brings back PlatinumGames’ former Wii U-exclusive action game from 2013 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam.

Bandai Namco released two new screenshots of its upcoming MMORPG Blue Protocol.

The screenshots have been shared on Twitter (sources: 1, 2) with the promise of more coming during the closed beta application period which will end on March 2.

Incidentally, if you want to enter, you can do so here.

We get to see a battle against monsters, and the developers stress how dynamic the scene is as the enemies approach.

The second screenshots showcase gestures, which are rather lovely thanks to the characters expressions.

You can check them out below.

For the last few decades, PlayStation has been one of the most influential brands in the world, even outside of gaming. From award-winning exclusive games to breakthrough hardware developments, it is safe to say that the consoles have been a success.

With that success, there’s bound to be a lot of obscure and compelling facts that even the most loyal fanboys don’t even know.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of 15 questions that will test the limits of your PlayStation knowledge.

Are you a true fanboy? Let’s find out!

Microsoft and Undead Labs’ open world survival game State of Decay 2 is receiving a free upgrade with new improvements and more content with the Juggernaut Edition.

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition will include a new open world map for players to explore called Providence Ridge, a rugged logging town, alongside “a new category of heavy melee weapons that reward player skill and timing,” according to the announcement post.

The new version of the game will feature graphical and audio improvements, an improved control scheme with dodge and stealth split into separate commands, mission and gameplay bug fixes, and a better “post-tutorial experience.”

The Juggernaut Edition also includes all three post-launch add-ons: Daybreak Pack, Independence Pack, and the story-based Heartland add-on.

The upgrade will be free for all existing players and Xbox Game Pass members when it launches on March 13, and Undead Labs said those who already own the add-ons or the Ultimate Edition will receive “exclusive in-game gifts” by logging into the game after the upgrade’s release.

State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition will also be launching for Steam on the same date for $29.99, and will feature cross-network play with the Windows 10 and Xbox One versions.

It’s that time of the month again, which means that the NPD released its sales charts about the U.S. gaming market related to December 2019.

Once more analyst Mat Piscatella delivers the analysis and charts for the month.

As usual, the Switch is at the top of hardware sales, while we finally have an upset in the software field.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot by Bandai Namco has finally managed to dethrone Call of Duty: Modern Warfare from the top of the charts, sending it down to the second place.

The latest Call of Duty dominated the top of the charts for three months straight. 

This is the third-best launch month performance for a Dragon Ball game, behind Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai all the way back in 2002.

That being said, Kakarot marks the first debut at the top of the chart since FighterZ was beaten by Monster Hunter: World.

Incidentally, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was at the top of both PS4 and Xbox One sales, while Super Smash Bros. Ultimate topped sales on Switch.

Below you can check out the relevant charts and the full video presentation.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, it’s not surprising that waifu-driven games are celebrating and Azur Lane is no exception.

Today we get a fairly substantial video showcasing a beautiful 3D model of Sirius as she talks to the viewer and wishes us a happy Valentine’s Day. 

We also get several mentions of other shipgirls like Newcastle, Abukuma and the recent Royal Maid newcomer Dido.

Incidentally, this 3D model was created for Comiket, but today we get to take a much more extensive look.

You can watch the full video below.

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.

If you’d like to learn more about it, you can read our recent interview with Yostar’s director of operations.

Star Citizen developer Cloud Imperium Games has been releasing plenty of new content in the game’s alpha and showing even more in weekly videos.

This week we get to see plenty of interesting goodies, starting with director Chris Roberts sitting down with Todd Papy, Sean Tracy, and Tony Zurovec, as they discuss their plans for 2020.

We then get a video showcasing the team working on the vehicle experience, more assets created for the upcoming prison gameplay coming next month in alpha 3.9, geology and harvestable assets for planets, holograms, re-entry effects, the Cutlass Blue, the Carrack and even early work on the Hercules Starlifter. 

A third video focuses on concept design, showcasing the Starr Runner and the Carrack. 

You can check them all out below.

It’s always interesting to take a look at the past of popular game developers, and today we get a glimpse into the memories of Tekken Director and Chief Producer Katsuhiro Harada.

Today Harada-san took to Twitter to showcase a reupload of an extremely old Flash video made sixteen years ago in the popular MMORPG EverQuest. Yes, the original one.

You can check the tweet below and the full video embedded at the bottom of the post.

Harada-san also commented todayon the YouTube video himself with the nickname “mirage1999,” revealing that he was the druid Amie, leader of Guild Mirage.  

“I was the leader of Guild Mirage, the author of this original Flash Movie, and the owner of the Mirage web site (the player name at that time was Amie). Of course, I still own the original Flash data. At the time I was anonymous, but in fact, and still as Director / Chief Producer for series such as TEKKEN and SoulCalibur.

Following its “bachelorettes” trailer released earlier today, Xseed Games released another trailer of Rune Factory 4 Special, this time around focusing on the other side.

This time around, we get to see the handsome “bachelors” of the game to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Those include Arthur, Leon, Vishnal, Kiel, Dylas, and Doug.

You can check them out below and see if you find your ideal husbando among the bunch.

Rune Factory 4 Special will launch in the west in just a few days, on February 25, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

It’s the remaster of a 3DS game that originally hit the shelves in Japan in 2012 and then in the west between 2013 and 2014. It was still the time when releases in North America and Europe of niche Japanese games could be over one year apart.

If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the opening cutscene and tons of gameplay. 

Today Xseed Games is celebrating Valentine’s Day with a brand new trailer of Rune Factory 4 Special.

The trailer focuses on the “bachelorettes” that you can meet in the upcoming game.

We get to see Forte, Margaret, Clorica, Amber, Dolce, and Xiao Pai.

You can check out the trailer below. 

Rune Factory 4 Special will release in the west in just a few days, on February 25, exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

It’s the remaster of a 3DS game originally released in 2012. If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the opening cutscene and tons of gameplay. 

We also already know that Rune Factory 5 is coming this year also for Nintendo Switch, but Marvelous has been tight-lipped about it.

We do know that save data from Rune Factory 4 Special will net you bonuses in the new game, but for now the well of information about the new game is most definitely on the dry side.

The Pokemon Company has announced a brand-new collaboration with Funko to bring several Eevee figures into the Pokemon Center online store. The new series of nine figures celebrates Eevee and its multiple evolutions.

The first product in the collaboration is this adorable Eevee figure that you can see down below that features the Pokemon in a little field of grass. Starting on Feb. 18, you’ll be able to purchase it from the Pokemon Center for just $14.99.

Every month, until October 2020, there will be a new Eevee evolution figure available for purchase; you can see those release windows down below:

• Vaporeon (expected to launch in March 2020)
• Sylveon (expected to launch in April 2020)
• Glaceon (expected to launch in May 2020)
• Flareon (expected to launch in June 2020)
• Espeon (expected to launch in July 2020)
• Jolteon (expected to launch in August 2020)
• Leafeon (expected to launch in September 2020)
• Umbreon (expected to launch in October 2020)

Here are some more cute photos of the first Eevee Funko figure down below:

Today Muv-Luv creator Kouki Yoshimune hosted âge’s weekly livestream, and he detailed another image board of the upcoming Alternative sequel Muv-Luv: Integrate.

The image board is the one you see above (you can find a version that can be enlarged below), featuring a few well-known heroines from various Muv-Luv games. 

Turns out that my analysis of the same image from a few months ago was correct, but of course, Yoshimune-san provided a lot more details (reported by Famitsu). As usual, this shows just how much thought he puts into every little detail of his games.

Fire Emblem has had a long and hard journey since its release back in 1990. The series has had many ups and downs and was on the brink of extinction before Fire Emblem Awakening released back in 2012. Since then, Fire Emblem has been on a steady increase in terms of popularity, sales, and recognition. This has been ever so apparent with the success of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the newest installment of the franchise on the Nintendo Switch. If you haven’t experienced this wonderful series, right now is the perfect time to do so for many reasons.
