In a development Bungie could have done without, the Destiny 2 developer has already pulled a contentious $15 starter pack offered in Season of the Wish, which just went live yesterday. The pack provided a pitiful assortment of goods and was marketed towards new players, a combination of things the community...

News Fate/Samurai Remnant Updates are Incoming at December's Dedicated Fate Showcase
It must be Fate
Fate/Samurai Remnant, the rather good action RPG that launcher earlier this year on PS5 and PS4, will feature in a dedicated Fate franchise showcase next month. Fans of the game have been waiting on additional information pretty much since launch, so we imagine that this event will finally spill the beans on its free updates and DLC...

News Inazuma Eleven's PS5, PS4 Debut Will Need to Wait Until Next Year
Out of action
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road has pulled up at the last minute, and that means it’ll be spending some extended time on the physio’s table before the series finally makes its PlayStation debut next year. While it always looked unlikely this one would make its previous 2023 release window, developer LEVEL-5 has now officially slapped...

News 3DS RPG Remaster The Legend of Legacy HD Is Yet Another Early 2024 PS5, PS4 Release
Same day as Dragon's Dogma 2
We're starting to sound like a broken record, but early 2024 is madness in terms of the release schedule. There are approximately 12 million games coming out between late January and late March, and now you can add The Legend of Legacy HD Remastered to the ever-growing list. The FuRyu-developed RPG, which originally...
News Promising Detective RPG Decapolice Delayed to Next Year
To make for a better and denser open world
Update: Despite the official wording from the official Level-5 livestream, the delay to DECAPOLICE may not be quite as significant as first thought.

News PS5, PS4 Mecha Action RPG Megaton Musashi: Wired Delayed to April 2024
Not quite a megaton
Cool-looking action RPG Megaton Musashi: Wired has been hit with a rather unsurprising delay. The colourful mecha title, which developer Level-5 announced for PS5 and PS4 earlier this year, was meant to drop before the end of 2023 — but that's obviously no longer the case. Wired will now release worldwide on the

News It's Going to Be a Big Few Days for Virtual Pinball Fans on PS5, PS4
And we mean big
We must admit, we’d tuned out of the Pinball FX news cycle a teensy bit following the game’s free-to-play launch earlier in the year. But Hungarian developer Zen Studios is an industrious outfit, and so we’re not surprised to see it has a ton of content in the pipeline before Christmas. And it all starts this week, on PS5 and...
