I’ve been looking forward to a game called Screamer for a little while now. Out at the end of March 2026, it’s part racing game and part anime. It’s shaping up to be the first racing game in a long time that has a coherent and well-integrated story. In my search for something similar to tide me over, I stumbled upon JDM: Japanese Drift Master. It’s a smaller, more contained racer, but it successfully weaves in a story among its focus on Japanese car culture. Purely as an open-world racing game, JDM is a little underwhelming. The map, which is a…

Why, in fact, I think I might spend this weekend outside and enjoy your almost springly warmth. I might play some games, too, but only if it’s near an open window where I can feel the breeze on my face. How about everyone else? JamesHaving been charmed by Resident Evil Requiem’s spin-kicky action segments, I’m revisiting the Resident Evil 4 remake. I was mad…

Mandalorians are known for never removing their helmets in front of others, but for Pedro Pascal, removing his helmet in his upcoming Star Wars film The Mandalorian and Grogu makes “perfect sense.””When we got to that part, all I can say is that it made perfect sense, and it was what I was hoping would be the reason,” Pascal tells Empire about removing his helmet as the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin. “If I were to pitch something, I would say, ‘The only thing that makes sense is…’ And that’s exactly it. He filled that blank. I said immediately, ‘Jon,…

The game Bandai Namco was teasing earlier this week has been revealed: It’s a new Sword Art Online action RPG called Echoes of Aincrad, billed as an exploration of the darker side of the anime it’s based on. And while what little combat we’ve seen largely involves huge dark fantasy creatures with big weapons and a player character keen on dodge-rolling and parrying, the developers insist this game is “not a Soulslike.”Talking to Japanese publication Denfaminicogamer (translation via Automaton), SAO series producer Yosuke Futami and Echoes of Aincrad head of production Yasuhiro Yahata made a few points of clarification about…
