<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghost of Yōtei fans will be happy about this one! Sucker Punch has announced a new Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition, and it is bringing a ton of cool new content to the game. The Complete Edition launches on October 1st and will include the full game, a new story expansion, a single-player combat survival mode, and a few other extras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if you already own Ghost of Yōtei, you can just buy the $14.99 upgrade that will add the new content to your game without you having to purchase the entire thing again.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2bQrrWCRkMY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a completely new story expansion, a roguelike-inspired combat mode, and several smaller additions, this is a pretty substantial update for the game!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Echoes of Sekigahara</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16898" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/echoes-of-sekigahara.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The biggest addition is probably the expansion called Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara. This is a new story expansion that will take Atsu through both the present and her past. In the present-day sections, you will explore a previously unseen valley that was once inhabited by The Snake and his loyal followers, the Vipers. This new story will also take Atsu back to the Battle of Sekigahara. There, you will relive an important moment from her life, before she returned home and began her journey of vengeance. On top of that, a new character named Nagato, who also comes from Atsu&#8217;s past, will play an important role as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And, of course, the expansion will also introduce new enemies, heavy weapons, armor sets, dyes, and more. So if you wanted to go back to Atsu, you will definitely have plenty to do in October!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roguelike Survival Mode</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16899" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-most-wanted.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second main addition is Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted, a new single-player combat survival mode inspired by roguelikes. You will be able to accept bounties to begin new runs, and if you succeed, you can earn perks and unlock additional characters. Different characters will also have their own strengths and weapons. Atsu, for example, specializes in the dual katana, Oyuki uses the kusarigama, and Nagato fights with a yari.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Considering how much the community has already enjoyed creating combat clips in Ghost of Yōtei, this mode seems specifically designed to give you another reason to experiment with the game&#8217;s combat system.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Comes With the Complete Edition?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition will cost $69.99 and includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The full Ghost of Yōtei game</li>



<li>Echoes of Sekigahara</li>



<li>Most Wanted</li>



<li>Ghost of Yōtei Legends, the online co-op mode supporting up to four players</li>



<li>All content from the Digital Deluxe Edition</li>



<li>The Charm of Hokkyokusei</li>



<li>New Watanabe Mode tracks</li>



<li>New Photo Mode stamps</li>



<li>Additional New Game+ cosmetics</li>



<li>New Trophies for the two new modes</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16900" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-complete.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main game and Legends are available immediately when purchasing the Complete Edition, but Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted will be added through the October 1 patch. So this means that if you buy the Complete Edition now, you can already play through the main game and the Legends Co-op mode, but the new content will obviously only be added in October. It will then just be a normal patch to download with no additional cost.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a small bonus for players who pre-order by September 30. You will get early access to the Sakai Armor for Atsu on October 1, bringing back Jin&#8217;s iconic family armor from Ghost of Tsushima.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Existing Players Can Upgrade</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16901" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/ghost-of-yotei-upgrade.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As mentioned before, if you have already bought Ghost of Yōtei, you do not need to purchase the Complete Edition. Sucker Punch is offering a Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Upgrade for $14.99. This gives existing owners access to the new expansion and survival mode. And if you only had the normal edition, the Digital Deluxe Edition content and Charm of Hokkyokusei will also be unlocked immediately when pre-ordering the upgrade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Sakai Armor bonus is available here too if you pre-order by September 30.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Existing Owners Are Getting a Free Update Too</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also some good news for players who are not interested in buying the upgrade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A free patch is coming on October 1 for everyone that will add a few new features to the base game, including Beauty of Yōtei, a new screensaver mode that lets you leave the environments of Ezo running on screen. It should also be useful for anyone who wants to simply sit back and admire the game&#8217;s environments or take some new Photo Mode screenshots.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The update will also add some quality-of-life features, including the ability to keep the appearance of one armor set even when you are using the stats of another. A new high-contrast accessibility option will also be added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So even if you do not purchase the Complete Edition upgrade, you will still have some new content and features to check out. And Sucker Punch says they will share more details about Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted as October gets closer. So keep your eyes open for more!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sony has something pretty big planned for Phantom Blade Zero! They announced a dedicated State of Play &#8220;gameplay deep dive&#8221; for the upcoming game, scheduled for August 17. So this means that it will not be your regular State of Play with multiple games. This one will focus entirely on Phantom Blade Zero and its gameplay systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The presentation will begin at:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>7 PM PT &#8211; August 17</li>



<li>10 PM ET &#8211; August 17</li>



<li>3 AM BST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>4 AM CEST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>10 AM CST &#8211; August 18</li>



<li>11 AM JST &#8211; August 18</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16893" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/phantom-blade-zero-sop.webp 1077w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For some parts of the world, that sadly means it will be live in the middle of the night. Luckily, the VOD will still be available to look it up once you wake up! And of course, you can watch it live on <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/playstation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitch</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/blh1v1dGJ2s?si=xTUmBApkFV7Bl1li" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Phantom Blade Zero Gameplay</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of the State of Play announcement, Sony also released an 11-minute-long extended pre-order trailer that shows you battling enemies on top of a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt. But this is just a small part of what Phantom Blade Zero has to offer.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Phantom Blade Zero - Pre-Order Trailer | PS5 Games" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aOU7KOPGVYU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The upcoming State of Play is specifically made to show much more of the game&#8217;s combat systems, character builds, and dark wuxia-inspired world. The developers will use this to introduce characters that we have not seen yet, but who will play an important role in the story. They will also show just how much freedom you have with all these characters and their unique builds. Basically, you can expect way more depth when it comes to the combat and progression systems than what we have seen so far.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Donnie Yen Is Involved With the Game</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2026/08/11/watch-the-phantom-blade-zero-gameplay-deep-dive-state-of-play-on-august-17-pre-orders-live-today/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">official Blog Post</a>, PlayStation also revealed that Donnie Yen has been involved with the game. The martial arts star has been working as a creative consultant on Phantom Blade Zero since 2023, contributing his experience in martial arts and action filmmaking to the game&#8217;s combat design. He also plays Mó Yuan, the father of protagonist Soul, since he did the facial and motion capture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we have someone with plenty of experience in martial arts cinema to help make the combat feel authentic, and that can only mean good things for the game!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phantom Blade Zero Pre-Orders Are Now Live</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pre-orders for Phantom Blade Zero are now also available on PS5 and Steam. The game will launch on October 29, 2026, and if you pre-order, you will receive two bonuses in sort of early access, since both will also be obtainable in-game later on. So the pre-order bonus is not locking exclusive content behind something you have to buy at least.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, the big thing to look forward to is the upcoming State of Play. And considering the developers specifically say the trailer was only the beginning, there should be quite a bit of new footage to look forward to!</p>

Phantom Blade Zero Gets Its Own State of Play


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV developers have pushed the game&#8217;s release to the end of the year, delaying it from its original September 17th launch date.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dawn of War IV Release Delay</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a video released today, Game Director Jan Theysen explained why the team decided to delay <a href="https://all.gg/news/dawn-of-war-iv-reveals-the-necrons-in-new-faction-trailer/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dawn-of-war-iv-reveals-the-necrons-in-new-faction-trailer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dawn of War IV</a>. Put simply, the developers believe pushing back the release is the right move to give the team more time to incorporate community feedback, improve performance, and squash additional bugs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal is to make launch day as smooth as possible, and the team believes this extra time will help them get there.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Theysen also reassured the community that the feedback players have provided has already had a real impact on the game&#8217;s development. While fans will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on Dawn of War IV, the developers aren&#8217;t going quiet in the meantime. More deep dives, developer talks, and other videos are rolling out in the coming months to keep fans updated while the team prepares for launch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On top of that, the roadmap for Dawn of War IV is getting additional updates because of the delays.</p>

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV has been delayed to late 2026 as developers take more time to improve the game and address player feedback.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To highlight some of the biggest Deadlock nerfs, one of the biggest is to Doorman. Walkers now wait for the Luggage Cart animation to finish to stomp. This is severely going to nerf the kidnapping playstyle Doorman players have come to commonly adopt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also a ton of nerfs for McGinnis, nerfing her turrets, gun scaling, and changing around her Medicinal Specter. Other notable changes are Apollo now lifesteals more, Vipers: Petrifying Bola has a larger AoE, and nerfs to gun Lash.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


Deadlock’s first patch since the matchmaking update brings major McGinnis nerfs, Doorman changes, Apollo buffs, and more.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The continuous fight for democracy just got a lot more horrifying. Helldivers 2 is back with a major update alongside the <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-warhammer-40k-warbond-is-out-now/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-warhammer-40k-warbond-is-out-now/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Warhammer 40K Warbond</a>. Now the servants of democracy are under Illuuminate threat once again as new monsters emerge from the Void.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Journey to the Void</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This major update sees the focus of Super Earth shift to the reemerging threat of the Illuuminates. Every Helldiver will receive new missions and objectives to conquer–destroy Illuminate spires and gateways, complete data reconnaissance, and infiltrate Illuminate structures with your team.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But new threats lurk in the shadows, freshly emerging from the void. The quick and agile Wretch, who can quickly ambush and overwhelm defenders. Aim for the limbs. On the opposite side, we have the Crusher, a slow, tanky, unstoppable force, which will regenerate if not constantly taking damage. Bring fire, and lots of it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Backup Has Arrived</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s not all; the Seaf are being deployed along with the Helldivers. Now amped up and better than ever, squads of Seaf soldiers now deploy with a variety of different units. Some include a squad leader, rifleman, support, and a medic. These backup forces will follow into primary objectives and help clear obstacles in their path. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But they aren&#8217;t Helldivers, and if enemy forces become too numerous, they will quickly be overwhelmed. So watch out for your fellow human!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Planet Broke Before the Guard Did</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After months of speculation, the Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 warbond is finally here. Giving Helldivers two new armor sets that come with a new passive. Three new weapons: a primary, a sidearm, a throwable, and a support weapon. Along with some new patterns for 4 vehicles and the Helldiver Pod. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="HELLDIVERS™ 2 x WARHAMMER 40,000: Castellan’s Creed is out now!" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PN-PCHmD1d8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the weapons, we got:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle</strong></li>



<li><strong>P/40-K Bolt Pistol</strong></li>



<li><strong>G/40-K Meltamine</strong></li>



<li><strong>40-K Meltagun Stratagem</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Weapons from Warhammer are notoriously powerful, and thankfully they live up to that hype. However, the two biggest weapons from this Warbond are easily the Bolt Pistol and the Meltagun. The reason is that both of these weapons make very quick work of any high-armor targets, especially the Meltagun, which, if you know what these weapons can do in the 20k universe, should be this strong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the armor sets, we got the:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>TG-122 Demo-Trooper</strong></li>



<li><strong>TG-8 Sharpshooter</strong></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both armor sets are fitted with the True Grit passive ability for boosts to all weapon handling and to support weapon reload speeds</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for cosmetics, we got:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Capes and Player Banners:</strong>&nbsp;Camo Cloak and City Fighter’s Resolve</li>



<li><strong>Vehicle Pattern:&nbsp;</strong>Castellan’s Green pattern for the Shuttle, Hellpod, FRV, and Exosuit</li>



<li><strong>Player Title:</strong>&nbsp;Still Standing</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like the other Legendary Warbonds, such as <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-halo-odst-legendary-warbond-full-reveal-and-all-halo-references/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Halo: ODST</a> or <a href="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-killzone-returns-with-a-free-legendary-warbond/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/helldivers-2-x-killzone-returns-with-a-free-legendary-warbond/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Killzone</a>, the Warhammer 40,000 warbond will cost you 1500 Super Credits</p>

The long-awaited Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 Warbond is finally here, bringing new armor, weapons, cosmetics, and the devastating Meltagun.


Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Warbond Is Out Now


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hype around Insomniac Games&#8217; Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man series is once again reaching pretty ridiculous levels thanks to Brand New Day that is currently still running in theaters, and now we may have our first real indication that the next main game is in production. A Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 3 page has appeared on IMDb, with the game listed as in production and a few familiar names attached to the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, this is not quite the same as Sony or Insomniac officially announcing the game, so it should still be treated with a little caution. It is also good to note that any registered user can technically create such a page on IMDb, so this might not even be official. But the listing is interesting enough to point it out because the information also fits with previous leaks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spider-Man 3 Has Apparently Entered Production</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The IMDb listing credits Bryan Intihar and Ryan Smith as game directors, and both worked on the previous Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man games. Even more interestingly, Yuri Lowenthal is listed as returning as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. As mentioned, this listing has reportedly appeared on both IMDb&#8217;s regular database and IMDb Pro, and its latest entry dates back to January 2026. Most importantly, the project is listed as being in production and not pre-production.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 has shown up on IMDb Pro (both paid and free versions) and the IMDb database. The last official entry was in January 2026, confirming the title is in production and not pre production. <br><br>Official Link: <a href="https://t.co/zNig8B5aIk">https://t.co/zNig8B5aIk</a> <a href="https://t.co/zAFLuCRnHQ">pic.twitter.com/zAFLuCRnHQ</a></p>&mdash; SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY &#8211; NOW PLAYING IN CINEMAS (@SpiderManCD) <a href="https://x.com/SpiderManCD/status/2087132222255935992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That does not tell us when the game could be released, but if real, it would suggest that Insomniac&#8217;s next Spider-Man project is already well beyond the simple concept stage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Timing Makes Sense</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The timing is particularly interesting. <a href="https://egw.news/gaming/news/36619/imdb-claims-marvels-spider-man-3-is-now-in-product-RQ3107yOE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A leak from 2023 already suggested</a> that the studio had plans for both Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 3 and a Marvel&#8217;s Venom spin-off, but none of those have been officially confirmed at the time. The Venom project was reportedly intended to follow the same kind of approach as Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, so focused on another character from the Spider-Man universe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has also been some teasing from <a href="https://egw.news/gaming/news/33982/peter-parkers-actor-might-be-teasing-marvels-spide-X3zq-hTTG" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yuri Lowenthal himself</a>, who hinted at Peter Parker&#8217;s return earlier this year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A third main Spider-Man game is hardly a shocking possibility. When we know how well the other two games did, it is pretty much logical that they would try to do a 3rd game. The first Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man became one of PlayStation&#8217;s biggest first-party successes, and Marvel&#8217;s Spider-Man 2 continued the story. With the characters and universe already established, another sequel would make plenty of sense for Insomniac. And with the recent success and renewed attention around the Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie, the timing certainly is not bad for the franchise either.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For now, though, you should not expect a sudden Spider-Man 3 announcement just because of an IMDb listing, especially since it could not be an official listing. But the timing certainly makes it worth mentioning. Considering Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine is only a few weeks away from release, however, it might not be too long before we start getting a better idea of what is next for Insomniac&#8217;s Marvel universe.</p>

Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 May Be in Development at Insomniac


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine is releasing on September 15, 2026, and Sony has one more surprise for you when it comes to this game! Sony and Insomniac have revealed a new collection of Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 hardware and accessories, and Wolverine fans are getting quite a few different options to choose from. Inspired by Wolverine&#8217;s raw power and Insomniac Games&#8217; Battle Reborn suit and claws, the collection includes a new PS5 Digital Edition bundle, multiple console covers, and two different DualSense designs.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Wolverine Battle Yellow PS5</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main edition is the &#8220;PS5 Digital Edition &#8211; Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle&#8221;, that comes with the console, a matching DualSense controller, and a game code for Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine. The console uses a bold yellow finish inspired by Wolverine, with claw marks running across the design. Sony says the design is intended to give players a look underneath the PS5&#8217;s exterior, with the claw-slashed details giving it a much more aggressive appearance than the standard console.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The matching Battle Yellow DualSense follows the same design, with claw marks inspired by Wolverine&#8217;s famous adamantium claws. The Battle Yellow DualSense will also be sold separately.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16866" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/wolverine-yellow-console.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PS5 and PS5 Pro Console Covers</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, if you already own a PS5, you do not necessarily need another console. Do not worry, you can still customize yours with the new Wolverine design! Sony is also releasing Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine console covers separately for those who would just want to swap the covers on their own console. The Battle Yellow covers will be available for both PS5 and PS5 Pro.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Marvel&#8217;s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition PS5 Pro Console Covers are inspired by the adamantium bonded to Logan&#8217;s skeleton and claws. So if you are not a fan of the full yellow look, this version uses a metallic design and still keeps the claw-slashed details from the Battle Yellow version. Sony is also releasing a matching Adamantium Limited Edition DualSense controller with the same metallic finish.</p>

Sony has revealed Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 designs, including Battle Yellow and Adamantium console covers and controllers.


Marvel’s Wolverine Gets a Stunning PS5 Limited Edition


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are like us and waiting for the release date announcement of the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, this one might make your day! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We may have accidentally gotten a first look at what could be a The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 console and Pro Controller. And if these <a href="https://x.com/Stealth40k/status/2087198867670315315?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">leaked designs</a> are real, Zelda fans have something pretty special to look forward to. Images showing what appear to be the unfolded packaging designs for the console and controller have been shared, with the artwork and branding Nintendo could use for a future Zelda-themed Switch 2 release.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As always with leaked material like this, none of it has been officially confirmed by Nintendo, so it should be treated as a rumor for now!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Zelda Switch 2 With Plenty of Gold</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The leaked Switch 2 design is clearly leaning into the classic Zelda look, with the dock featuring a combination of black and gold and a huge Triforce design in the middle. The Joy-Con 2 controllers are also shown with a green color scheme and Triforce patterns, fitting the series&#8217; iconic association with Link. A Triforce symbol is also featured on the left Joy-Con.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="656" height="800" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16860" style="width:527px;height:auto" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak.webp 656w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-switch-leak-246x300.webp 246w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If this is real, the overall design is just amazing compared to some special-edition consoles that the Switch got. The black, gold, and green combination works extremely well for a special edition themed around Zelda. Even the packaging itself is perfect! It also has a 40th anniversary logo for The Legend of Zelda, with Link depicted in his original 8-bit style.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pro Controller Looks Just as Good</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The leaked Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller follows a similar black, gold, and green color scheme. In the middle, you have the Hylian Crest. And it is honestly perfectly fitting in between the controller&#8217;s buttons. Left and right of the controller you have additional black and green handles, and around the Crest, a ton of golden and black Triforces. A lot of details that clearly give it a distinctly Zelda-inspired look.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="746" height="800" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16861" style="width:516px;height:auto" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller.webp 746w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/zelda-controller-280x300.webp 280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Nintendo really releases this design, it could become one of the best special editions for Switch 2.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Could It Be Connected to Ocarina of Time?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is already plenty of speculation about when Nintendo could officially reveal the console. One possibility being that Nintendo could announce the Zelda 40th anniversary edition alongside news about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. We know that the remake is going to release before the end of the year, so the timing of the leak is definitely fitting. It could be announced at the same time as the release date for the remake, with a special edition that combines the exclusive console and the game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, that is speculation on top of a leak, so it is worth keeping expectations in check. For now, we will have to wait for Nintendo to make things official. If these leaked designs turn out to be real, though, that Zelda 40th anniversary Switch 2 is looking pretty damn good.</p>

Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Console and Controller Designs Leak


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Elder Scrolls VI has been one of those games we have heard about for so long that even the smallest update is enough to get everyone as excited as kids opening their Christmas presents. And Xbox CEO Asha Sharma may have just given us one of the most interesting updates we have had so far about this very mysterious game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yesterday, Sharma revealed that she recently got to experience a live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI, and she had some pretty good things to say about what she saw.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning. The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater.</p>&mdash; ASHA (@asha_shar) <a href="https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2087258678000779664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2026</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is a very simple sentence, but in a way, it means a lot. Especially since Bethesda has kept extremely silent about the game for years. But Sharma&#8217;s post also included something else: a mysterious subtitle.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Elder Scrolls VI: ********</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In her post, Sharma referred to the game as:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Elder Scrolls VI: ********</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yep, eight asterisks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, people immediately started wondering if those eight characters are really meant to represent the length of the game&#8217;s subtitle, or if it is just a random number. But why even put asterisks if it is random? Sharma could simply have used the asterisks to hide the subtitle without intending to indicate the exact number of letters, but if this was the case, she could have just put &#8220;The Elder Scrolls VI&#8221; without adding anything to it. Still, if the eight-character clue is deliberate, it gives fans something to talk about. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://x.com/SynthPotato/status/2087262627550425335?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Players started to speculate</a> about the subtitle, pointing out that if it has 8 letters, it means that it is probably not &#8220;Hammerfell&#8221; then. One particularly obvious possibility would be Redguard. The name has an obvious connection to The Elder Scrolls&#8217; lore, but there is currently nothing suggesting that this is really what Bethesda has chosen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It could just as easily be another word entirely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Game Is Clearly Running Internally</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The more important part of Sharma&#8217;s post may be the fact that she has now played a live build of The Elder Scrolls VI. This clearly means that they are indeed working on it, and that things are moving forward enough for them to show early gameplay. That does not necessarily mean the game is close to release, though. Bethesda has still not announced a release date or even a proper launch window for The Elder Scrolls VI. The fact that Xbox executives can now sit down and play through the game is encouraging, but there is still a huge difference between having a playable internal build and being ready to launch a massive open-world RPG.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still, after more than eight years since The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, it is hard not to get excited when someone at Xbox casually posts that they have just played it and that it is amazing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we just need Bethesda to show it to the rest of us.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-summer-screams-event-is-live/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-summer-screams-event-is-live/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Summer Screams Event</a> for Dead by Daylight is now in its final week. With that, the Lights Out game mode is being snuffed out, and the fan-favorite 2V8 is returning for one week.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Killers Two Problems</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s right: to round out the end of the Summer Screams Event for Dead by Daylight is the fan-favorite 2V8 event. However, if you are one of the thousands of new players since the <a href="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-hits-record-players-during-10th-anniversary-event/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/dead-by-daylight-hits-record-players-during-10th-anniversary-event/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">10th anniversary event</a> and don&#8217;t know why this is a fan-favorite game mode, let us quickly explain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the name suggests, 2V8 doubles the lobby size. That means two killers and eight survivors. However, there are a lot more changes beneath the surface:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both Survivors and Killers can choose from a variety of <strong>Classes</strong>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Class List: (Survivor) </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Escapist</li>



<li>Guide</li>



<li>Medic</li>



<li>Scout</li>



<li>Torchbearer</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Class List: (Killer) </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Brute </li>



<li>Enforcer</li>



<li>Fearmonger </li>



<li>Shadow</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Which allow them to do different things. Every Killer has 3 &#8220;Skills&#8221; that come with their class: 1 specific one to power them up for 2v8, and the other 2 come from their class and are shared by all Killers. You cannot bring Offerings, Perks, Addons, or items.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each map has been supersized and has a handful of changes. Some of which include 20 Chest spawns, 3 Hatches &amp; Exit Gates. Plus, there are no Hooks; instead, Killers must use Cages of Corruption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for what Killers you can play, the following are currently in 2V8:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Trapper</li>



<li>Wraith</li>



<li>Hillbilly</li>



<li>Nurse</li>



<li>Huntress</li>



<li>Spirit</li>



<li>Ghost Face</li>



<li>Oni</li>



<li>Deathslinger</li>



<li>Executioner</li>



<li>Blight</li>



<li>Nemesis</li>



<li>Mastermind</li>



<li>Good Guy</li>



<li>Dark Lord</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, despite all of these massive changes, 2v8 does remain a community favorite mode. The only problem is that Killer queue times are extremely long, with some reports saying that it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get into one match as Killer. Meanwhile, Survivors can get into a game in under 10 seconds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hopefully, some adjustments are made, but who knows for a game mode that&#8217;s only lasting a week.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The action-packed FPS <a href="https://all.gg/news/sprawl-zero-steals-steam-next-fest-spotlight-with-brutal-cyberpunk-fps-action/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/sprawl-zero-steals-steam-next-fest-spotlight-with-brutal-cyberpunk-fps-action/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SPRAWL Zero</a> has officially announced its release date: September 8th, 2026. So, mark your calendars, because based on how the demo feels and the direction development is taking, we might have a truly <a href="https://all.gg/news/one-of-the-best-retro-fps-games-cultic-comes-to-consoles/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/one-of-the-best-retro-fps-games-cultic-comes-to-consoles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revolutionary FPS</a> on our hands.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enact the Directive</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SPRAWL Zero, the sequel to the hit retro Y2K-inspired FPS <em>SPRAWL</em>, is finally getting ready to launch, and we cannot express how excited we are. For those unfamiliar, <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> is a fast-paced shooter inspired by the Golden Age of 2000s FPS games, taking notes from classics like the original <em>FEAR</em> games and early <em>Halo</em> titles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What makes <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> so compelling is how flawlessly it captures that early-2000s era of gaming. From its art direction and soundtrack to its movement, gunplay, and environmental details, everything feels carefully crafted to recreate that distinct era of FPS games.</p>

</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers have also been incredibly open about the game&#8217;s development, but if there is one thing we&#8217;re especially excited about, it&#8217;s the enemy AI.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execute</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Few games have ever managed to make enemy AI move, react, and predict the player&#8217;s actions quite like the original <em>FEAR</em>. Enemies wouldn&#8217;t blindly charge at you; they&#8217;d assess the situation. If they didn&#8217;t have the numbers, they might hold back, while enemies could attempt to flush you out, flank your position, or force you out of cover if you stayed in one spot for too long.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>SPRAWL Zero</strong> is taking plenty of notes from this approach and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3748520/view/694264948876903912?l=english" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3748520/view/694264948876903912?l=english" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">implementing its own version of intelligent enemy AI</a>. We&#8217;ve already got a small taste of what the developers are cooking, and it could end up being one of the game&#8217;s biggest strengths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Better yet, <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/SPRAWL_zero_Demo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4247830/SPRAWL_zero_Demo/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the demo is still available</a> on Steam if you want to experience <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> for yourself. Plenty of players already have, resulting in an <strong>Overwhelmingly Positive</strong> rating for the demo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The game&#8217;s audience and hype have continued to grow since this year&#8217;s Steam Next Fest, and with the September 8th release date now locked in, we&#8217;re more than ready to see what <em>SPRAWL Zero</em> can do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>


With its gritty cyberpunk aesthetic and Y2K-inspired style, SPRAWL Zero is shaping up to be a must-play FPS this September.


SPRAWL Zero Finally Gets a Release Date


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Stonewards officially launched into early access today, and along with the celebration, the developers have also dropped a brand-new roadmap that showcases over a dozen updates planned between now and 2027.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aspyr Media, the studio that has been bringing plenty of classic titles back to life over the past few years, is back with another surprise release. <em>The Lord of the Rings: War in the North &#8211; Legacy Edition</em> has suddenly returned to storefronts across PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 1 &amp; 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This cult-classic RPG lets you take control of one of three heroes as you uncover the untold story of Agandaûr, a Black Númenórean servant of Sauron who is amassing a massive army in the ruins of Fornost. While Frodo and Samwise make their journey toward Mount Doom, a new Fellowship must rise to<a href="https://all.gg/news/stonewards-brings-co-op-dwarf-defense-to-steam/" data-type="link" data-id="https://all.gg/news/stonewards-brings-co-op-dwarf-defense-to-steam/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> defend the North from the forces gathering in the shadows.</a></p>

Finally, <strong>Farin</strong>, a Dwarven Champion, serves as the group&#8217;s frontline tank, capable of unleashing devastating melee attacks.</p>

Journey through the Elven sanctuaries of Rivendell and Lórien, brave the daunting heights of the Lonely Mountain, and traverse the fog-shrouded paths of Mirkwood as you fight to protect the North.</p>

This is pretty good news for everyone who likes hunting down every achievement in a game, and The Blood of Dawnwalker has already got plenty waiting for you.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Achievements Cover Almost Every Part of the Game</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The achievement list is not simply focused on completing the main story.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Combat mastery</li>



<li>Vampiric progression</li>



<li>Witchcraft</li>



<li>Exploration and discovery</li>



<li>Story progression</li>



<li>Character development</li>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Will Need More Than One Playthrough</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers also point out that one playthrough will not be enough to unlock every achievement. So if you are the type of player that wants to complete all the achievements in one go, you will sadly be disappointed by this one. It is not particularly surprising considering The Blood of Dawnwalker is built around choices and consequences, meaning you can experience different outcomes depending on the decisions you make throughout your journey. SO some achievements probably involve making different choices, hence why you need more than one playthrough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 21 hidden achievements will also remain secret until they are earned, so you will have some additional surprises waiting for you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, how many are you planning to unlock?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Persona 4 Revival launches on February 18, 2027, and is a pretty ambitious remake!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a <a href="https://www.gamerbraves.com/producer-wada-kazuhisa-talks-persona-4-revival-rebuilding-inaba-reworking-combat-and-keeping-the-heart-of-the-original-intact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new interview with GamerBraves</a>, producer Wada Kazuhisa discussed how Atlus is rebuilding Persona 4 for modern platforms, from completely reworking Inaba in 3D to introducing new combat mechanics, and, at the same time, also explaining how the team is trying to keep what made the original game so special. There is a lot of information shared during this interview, so if you want to know about everything, we recommend you check it out. But here is everything we learned from it in the big lines.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Inaba Is Being Rebuilt in Full 3D</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest changes in Persona 4 Revival is the way players will explore Inaba. The original game used fixed 2D backgrounds, but the remake replaces those with fully explorable 3D environments and a rotatable camera. Atlus used the original backgrounds as a starting point, then expanded areas that were previously hidden or simply implied by the game&#8217;s camera angles.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Based on the image of the game screen at that time, we expanded the image of the actual location that we had originally imagined. We replaced the invisible part of the image and made it feel more realistic&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The team also looked at the real-world locations that inspired Inaba, using them as references to make the town feel more believable. Of course, rebuilding an entire town in 3D also comes with some pretty significant development challenges. Wada explained that the team had to carefully decide how much detail to put into larger environments, and, at the same time, keep the project within its development time and budget.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The remake is also giving many of Persona 4&#8217;s story scenes a huge visual upgrade. A lot of the original 2D anime sequences have been recreated as fully in-game 3D cinematics. Some visual-novel-style conversations have also been turned into more traditional cutscenes. Wada said the experience Atlus gained when they were developing Persona 3 Reload helped the team improve its tools and workflow for creating these 3D scenes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16828" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/persona4-revival.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The goal is not to change the story, but to make its biggest moments feel more immersive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite all the visual changes, Atlus does not want Persona 4 Revival to lose the personality of the original game. Wada specifically reassured everyone that the characters&#8217; personalities have not been removed or toned down. The original story and characters remain intact, although some dialogue has been rewritten where the team felt certain lines were awkward, overly complicated, or simply dated. The iconic retro TV and pop-art-inspired user interface is also staying, even if it has been modernized to make it easier to use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MAPPA Is Returning</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16827" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-cinematic.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fans of the anime sequences will also have something to look forward to, as MAPPA is returning for Persona 4 Revival. The studio previously worked on the opening animation for Persona 5 Royal, and it is now producing animated sequences for the remake. Interestingly, Wada also teased that additional MAPPA animations have not been revealed yet, so this means that there could be more to see beyond what has already been shown.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;MAPPA have been very nice to work with, taking our requests kindly, and it&#8217;s been a pleasurable experience. Their animations are very good, especially the protagonist&#8217;s awakening scene.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Persona 4 Golden Content Is Included</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For anyone wondering how much of Persona 4 Golden is being added to the remake, Wada confirmed that Revival will include almost all of Golden&#8217;s additional content. This includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>All the extra stories</li>



<li>All side content</li>



<li>True ending.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most important exception is the Program Ticket feature. And Atlus is also adding new types of social interactions that were not present in either of the original versions of the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dungeon Rework and New Combat Mechanics</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16829" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1024x576.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-300x169.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-768x432.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat-1536x864.webp 1536w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/person4-revival-combat.webp 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The dungeons are also being redesigned with the goal of making exploration less stressful and more enjoyable. Atlus is taking advantage of the remake&#8217;s improved visuals to make the areas much more immersive, with their atmosphere becoming stranger and more unsettling as you progress inside of them. Wada specifically highlighted the first confrontation between the characters and the Shadows as an example of how much the presentation has changed. The sequence has been significantly reworked to make it more cinematic, and he believes the new version will have a much stronger impact than the original.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Combat is receiving some changes as well. Persona 4 Revival introduces new mechanics called Prime Time and Send Flying, and it also brings back systems such as Baton Pass and individual character follow-up attacks. Prime Time and Send Flying do not consume SP and can be used freely when their conditions are met. Atlus designed them to be easy to use.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the same time, some of the original mechanics are being removed.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The tag-team combos from Persona 4 Golden are not returning </li>



<li>The bike-related battle mechanic is also being removed to make room for the new systems</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wada Would Like to See Persona 1 and 2 Remakes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the most interesting little tease from the interview came when Wada was asked about Atlus eventually remaking the first two Persona games. He could not confirm that anything is currently in development, so this definitely is not an announcement of Persona 1 or Persona 2 remakes. However, Wada did give a surprisingly positive personal answer, since he said that he believes remaking them is something Atlus should do. That is obviously not enough to confirm that those projects are even being considered, but if Wada thinks it is a good idea, maybe he can convince them to do it! However,  Atlus&#8217; resources might be focused on future projects such as Persona 6 instead, so take it with a grain of salt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wada has worked on the Persona series across multiple roles, from designer to director and eventually head producer, making Persona 4 particularly important to him personally. His biggest hope for Persona 4 Revival is that players will finish the game and want to return to Inaba, or simply wish they could spend more time there. He also credited Persona 3 Reload with providing important groundwork for the remake, particularly when it came to localization, multi-platform development, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And if Wada&#8217;s comments are anything to go by, the team is not finished showing us everything it has planned just yet.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Summer vacation is almost over, and everyone is currently going over what is left to come for the rest of the year and the first quarter of 2027. Square Enix is not different, so here is an updated look at their upcoming lineup, so you can get a better idea of what is coming over the next year. They currently have a few main releases scheduled between September 2026 and early 2027, including new Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts games.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The list has been shared by <a href="https://x.com/Genki_JPN/status/2086721946033791406?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Genki_JPN on Twitter/X</a>, so big thanks to him!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here is the current schedule:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Dragon Quest XI S &#8211; Nintendo Switch 2</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>September 24, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Kingdom Hearts Collection</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>October 8, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy Resonance</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>October 22, 2026</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>December 3, 2026</li>

<li><strong>Final Fantasy VII Revelation</strong>

</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold</strong>
<ul class="wp-block-list">

</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And on top of this list, there are two games that are anticipated by a ton of players, but that are still without a release date.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Kingdom Hearts 4 </li>



<li>Dragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both have been announced or at least teased, and we know they are planned and being worked on, but they are still listed as TBA, with no release date in sight. Hope is for some sort of new announcement during Gamescom for these two, but nothing has been confirmed or anything like that so far, so it might just be us hoping for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even if two games have no dates yet, Square Enix has a pretty good roadmap for the end of the year and start of 2027, especially with the new FFXIV Evercold expansion, the Kingdom Hearts collection, and the last part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake! If you are a Square Enix fan, you will have plenty to do until they properly announce Kingdom Hearts 4 and Dragon Quest XII.</p>

Square Enix Reveals Upcoming Lineup for Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and More


<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Telltale is teaming up with Steam and other narrative game developers for a special event! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are a fan of games where your decisions and choices really matter, there is a pretty good reason to check Steam right now. Telltale is hosting the &#8220;<a href="https://store.steampowered.com/sale/Choices-Matter-Festival?tab=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Choices Matter Festival</a>,&#8221; a new Steam sale focused on narrative or &#8220;choice-based&#8221; games. You can find a huge selection of titles that got some pretty heavy discounts. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Festival is running until August 17, so you have a few days to pick up some of these games for very little money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously, there are far too many games included to list everything here since you can find a little bit over 100 games with reduced prices, but there are some particularly good deals worth checking out! So we put together the games with the best deals that are worth picking up.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quantic Dream Goes Under €1</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best deal might be coming from Quantic Dream, with both Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls currently available for just €0.99 each. Considering you are getting two complete narrative-focused games for less than the price of a coffee, it is hard to complain about those prices. Both are amazing games, and it is hard to argue against buying them when they cost so little!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These two games are particularly interesting if you like investigation, mysteries, and a lot of action despite it being a narrative game. Both are psychological thrillers where, on one side, you follow a girl on a journey to find where she comes from and why she has powers, and on the other side, you follow four characters on the hunt for a murderer known only as the Origami Killer. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And when it comes to Quantic Dream and narrative games, there is one game that is definitely worth picking up, especially when it only costs €7.99, and it is Detroit: Become Human! There is also an entire bundle available that includes:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Detroit: Become Human</li>



<li>Beyond Two Souls</li>



<li>Heavy Rain</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Telltale Games Are Heavily Discounted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Naturally, a Telltale-hosted festival would not be complete if it did not include Telltale Games as well. Most of the studio&#8217;s catalog is heavily discounted, with many games costing €10 or less. And yes, that includes some of the studio&#8217;s best series, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Wolf Among Us</li>



<li>Batman: The Telltale Series</li>



<li>Tales from the Borderlands</li>



<li>The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series</li>



<li>And plenty more</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the best deals is arguably The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series, since it includes the complete series and is currently available for around €12. It includes all 4 seasons, but also 400 Days and the Michonne DLC, so over 50 hours of gameplay and 23 episodes in total!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is a pretty easy recommendation if you have somehow never played Telltale&#8217;s The Walking Dead! It is definitely one of their best series!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Discounted Games </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="590" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-1024x590.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-16819" srcset="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-1024x590.webp 1024w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-300x173.webp 300w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative-768x442.webp 768w, https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/static.bigbrain.gg/allgg/2026/08/sales-narrative.webp 1184w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Life Is Strange games are also part of the festival, with most of the series currently available for around €20 or less. This also includes the remastered version of the very first Life is Strange for only 7.99 instead of 40! And for those who already played through that, DON&#8217;T NOD has a few additional narrative games that are also worth picking up, such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Lost Records</li>



<li>Gerda</li>



<li>Twin Mirror</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, these are not the only discounted games. Here are some of the best narrative games you can play, and that are definitely worth buying during the sales:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Quarry</li>



<li>Lake</li>



<li>Killer Frequency</li>



<li>Esoteric EBB</li>



<li>Between Horizons</li>



<li>Zero Parades</li>



<li>Nobody Wants to Die</li>



<li>No, I&#8217;m Not Human</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also some much more recent games included in the sale, but their discounts are not quite as extreme. Directive 8020, for example, is currently priced at €39.99, and Life Is Strange: Reunion is available for around €26. So if you are looking for something newer because you already played the older classics, there are still a few options available.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Upcoming Narrative Games Can Also Be Wishlisted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The festival is not only about games that are currently on sale. It also highlights a selection of upcoming choice-based games that are not discounted, of course, since they have not released yet, but can already be wishlisted. You can already take a look at games such as:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Expanse: Osiris Reborn</li>



<li>The Wolf Among Us 2</li>



<li>Hope in the City</li>



<li>And more</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So even if you have already played most of the games on sale, the festival is also a pretty convenient way to discover some of the upcoming narrative games that are worth keeping an eye on. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Choices Matter Festival is a really good way to grab narrative games for a good price. Since these games are often rather short, a lot of players miss out on them because they do not want to put over 40 euros in a game that is mostly narrative with choices to make. So discounts like this, focused on those games, mean more players can discover some pretty amazing stories, for a very low price! So take a look at a few of these deals before they disappear!</p>
