A Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is really happening, and will release on PS4, PS5, and Steam this September. With the announcement, Square Enix has published statements from the remaster’s development leads, and the internet has responded in particular to comments from Yasumi Matsuno, writer and director of the 1997 original. Matsuno outlined the economic and…

I almost didn’t recognize Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement as a Bloodstained game, partly because it’s been six whole years since the last one and partly because the aesthetic is all over the place. The past six years have also been full of Castlevania-likes that feature a lot of the same gothic imagery and it feels…

“We should make Road 96 but with boats! Boat 96!” joked the developers at Digixart when planning their follow up to their excellent procedural road trip, Road 96. And their next game does indeed have a lot of boats—but it’s also a pretty big departure from their previous game. Instead of NPCs changing your adventure,…

I’ve been waiting more than 10 years since the botched Thief reboot for a new game in the series, and now that it’s happening all I can think about is the old “careful what you wish for” adage. Because coming later in 2025 is Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. Thief VR is a “reimagined” take…

Silent Hill f, which made quite an impression with a long-awaited reveal trailer back in March, dropped an even more disturbing trailer at today’s State of Play showcase to reveal its release date of September 25. The date was initially only confirmed for the PS5 version of the game, and Steam and the Epic Games…

Here he is: Young Bond. Not to be confused with James Bond Jr., the Bond starring in Hitman developer IO Interactive’s 007 First Light is “a young, resourceful, and sometimes reckless new recruit” who ended up in the royal navy after “a grand tour of every major boarding school in Britain.” Wouldn’t you know it—Bond’s…

It’s almost hard to make out what’s even happening in the trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man, a new action game from Suda 51’s studio Grasshopper Manufacture, with all the gore covering the screen. The main guy’s head explodes 20 seconds into the trailer and then he’s turns into a cyborg who tears apart…

I’ve lost track of how many times a Final Fantasy Tactics rumor sent me down a desperate rabbit hole, but those days are no more. During today’s PlayStation event, Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles, a remaster of the classic RPG that includes two distinct versions. Surely we’ll all be normal about…

At Sony’s State of Play showcase today, Koei Tecmo announced Nioh 3, its third Soulslike set in a feudal Japan suffering from as many hostile spirits as it is competing warlords. And in Nioh 3, we’ll be playing as one of the biggest possible figures from the Warring States period: Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of…

At today’s State of Play showcase, Sony started the show with what I immediately described as “a Tetris Effect-ass trailer” as a silhouette of a man walked through a shifting, abstract dimension of EDM beats and lyrics about interconnectedness. Well, I was close: courtesy of Tetris Effect creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, we’re getting a new Lumines….
