Earlier today, Atlus announced a new line of merch themed around the first two Persona games. That announcement broke a lot of hearts thanks to some awkward phrasing that made it sound like the OG titles were getting a modern re-release, but those hopes aren’t entirely dead. Atlus has applied some new branding to those PS1 JRPGs that’s almost got me willing to believe something bigger is on the way.”Persona and Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Persona 2: Eternal Punishment are coming to Amazon,” Atlus proudly exclaimed on Twitter. You can probably see why a number of Persona fans were…
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is only 10 days away from making Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Pokemon Pokopia players divide up their free time even more, and there’s a new trailer expanding the series’ viral soap opera-like lore.Tomodachi Life has always been unique among life sims, farming sims, cozy games, what have you, largely because of the way it fosters all sorts of ridiculous situations and drama between Miis. This latest trailer focusing on Crystal and Angie’s friendship is the perfect encapsulation of that design ethos, although it’s unlikely to satisfy Angie stans who’ve been campaigning for her redemption…
It’s been eight years since the release of Return of the Obra Dinn (I know, sorry!), the last full game from indie dev Lucas Pope, and while he’s working away on a new project, he’s reluctant to provide any details. In an age of generative AI and algorithms, he’s worried it’ll get sucked into the slush pit of a chatbot, or someone else might steal his idea.He spoke on the subject on the Mike and Rami Are Still Here podcast. “I have this curse where I really wanna finish things, and I also like to talk about the stuff that…
If you’re the type to flip on arachnophobia mode in games like Grounded 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds, turn away now and run. Run far, far away, because we’re talking about a new survival horror game all about giant, killer spiders.Lurking, from indie developer Ctrl Freak, exists in defiance of arachnophobia modes. Spiders were obviously explicitly designed by god to be as scary as possible. The six legs. The multitude of eyes. The venom. Spiders are not serious creatures. Their sole purpose on this planet is to evoke horror, making them pretty ideal antagonists for a horror game.Likewise, the premise…
The Boys season 5 has a lot riding on it, but judging by the first reviews for the show’s final season, it may actually live up to the expectations of fans. That’s been a tough accomplishment for many recent high profile series finales, so viewers seem to have a lot to look forward to as the hardcore superhero epic comes to its conclusion.At the time of this writing, the final season of The Boys sits at a nigh-unimpeachable 96% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on critic scores. Admittedly, there is sometimes a discrepancy between how critics receive media versus…

On paper, merging No Man’s Sky and Minecraft is an easy pitch. It’s no surprise, then, that a Kickstarter for a game doing just that has completely smashed its goals, earning over six times the original target.The game is PlanetSmith, a sandbox RPG set on spherical planets that are procedurally generated. “Explore alien planets, build anything you can imagine, fight dangerous creatures, and seamlessly launch into space to continue your adventure across a living solar system,” reads the blurb.The description goes on to point out that your excavating and exploration can “reshape entire landscapes.” The worlds are malleable to your…
Elden Ring is still keeping secrets, but dataminer Lance McDonald is good at easing them out – the YouTuber just discovered a piece of cut content illuminating more of FromSoftware’s arcane story.Lore spoilers for the 4-year-old game to follow! Turn back if you want to watch a VaatiVidya video first. McDonald has uncovered a new cutscene showing demigod Miquella planting the Haligtree legacy dungeon – and a literal, crooked tree – with his own pale hands. While I believe everything in Elden Ring is intentionally vague enough to warrant your own interpretation, regardless of director Hidetaka Miyazaki’s vision, this missing…
There are few game developers quite like Lucas Pope. He created two of our favorite games of the 2010s with Papers, Please and The Return of the Obra Dinn, and practically created two brand new genres, too. Since that grand success, he’s released some understated titles, including flash games and the Playdate-exclusive Mars After Midnight, but nothing on Steam. However, in a new podcast appearance, he’s said that he’s worried about announcing his next project because of AI. Appearing on the Mike & Rami Are Still Here podcast with publisher Mike Rose and developer Rami Ismail, Pope looked back on…
