ThePersonaseries has such a rich tapestry of characters that you could probably argue all day over who your own individual favorites are, but as a cat owner at heart, Morgana really hit home inPersona 5. The fact that he can transform into all sorts of wacky configurations is just the cherry on top. Morgana is bringing that madness intoPersona 5 Scramble, the newMusou-like game arriving in Japan this February on PS4 and Switch....

Game publishers have donethecraziestthingsin order to get their upcoming games some attention. So when Namco Bandai goes out to promote upcoming fighting gameSoulCalibur V, I’d expect something along the lines of staging a fight with people dressed up as characters from the game in the middle of a busy street. Namco hasn’t done this, but instead chose to team up with graffiti artist Jim Rockwell to create an amazing piece ofSoulCalibur Vart on the Great Eastern Street wall located in East End London....

Corrected quote isn’t much better Metro’s interview withDark Soulsdirector Hidetaka Miyazaki resulted in a fascinating, surprisingly well-thought-outdiscussion about difficulty in games. The quote everyone fixated on — “I am thinking about whether I should prepare another difficulty that everyone can complete or carefully send all gamers the messages behind our difficult game” — seemed hypothetical rather than a confirmation of anything. Even still, Namco Bandai reached out to Metro to say that the comment by Hidetaka was a “translation mistake....

Board games are one of a select few gaming mediums that are accessible to everyone, regardless of their age or skill set. All you need to do to get started is open a box, check out the instructions (or not, if you’re a rebel), and let the fun begin. When it comes to playing board games with the younger generation, it can be pretty hard to keep their attention focused on the task at hand, especially if you want to play something that sneaks in some educational value hidden beneath the layer of family fun time that’s more obvious to young eyes....

As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, Grinding Gear Gameshas announcedthat the long-awaitedPath of Exile 2will finally be hitting Early Access on November 15. It’s been quite some time since the originalPath of Exilelaunched in 2013, and likewise has been some time since the sequel was announced in 2019. Since then, a lot of changes have been made, including dropping the concurrent campaign that would combine in the original game. It includes a six-act campaign that leads to its endgame....

That’s a lot of unknown players ApparentlyPlayerUnknown’s Battlegroundsisn’t rocking a solidsecond placebehind Epic Games’Fortnite. Bredan Greene (PlayerUnknown himself) announced on Twitter that the game has just surpassed 20 million sales. He also took the chance to reassure players that the team at PUBG Corp is hard at work perfecting his vision for the ultimate Battle Royale game. .@PUBATTLEGROUNDSreached an amazing milestone this weekend, passing 20 million copies sold! I know a lot of you are frustrated by issues w/ the game but the team is working hard to deliver a truly great Battle Royale expierence for everyone....

Oh, Sony, bring it all to me If you play online on thePlayStation Networkwhile rattling off slurs and insulting others’ moms, you might soon be in for a rude awakening. Or you might just be able to change your PS Username. A recent survey sent out to PlayStation 4 owners has all the makings of the implementation of a reputation system and a slew of new features — that is, if people actually want them....

Starts on April 19 and ends on April 22 As a way to say “sorry” forFornite‘s server outages and a delay of the 50v50 mode, Epic Games is kicking off a double XP weekend. Unfortunately there was a database issue last week, and when the system went back online it buckled under the sheer weight of everyone trying to log back in. The double XP festivities will start on April 19 and run until April 22, at which point you may…what else…nab double experience points in the battle Royale mode — you’ll also nab 20 Battle Pass Stars for your trouble....

Get those perfect IVs Pokemon Scarlet & Violetseem to have set a trend with recent Tera Raid events. We still have our powerful 7-Star foes like Samurott,which is live again for those who missed it last week. But overlapping those reruns are deliberately easy encounters that let you farm a valuable resource. This week, the valuable resource in question happens to be… Ditto? Sure, Ditto is a change of pace froma bunch of Tera Shards, but this event is still notable....

Wants to take on Chromecast and Apple TV As much as I want a PlayStation Vita for the current crop of indie games that have taken over the system, the appeal of thePS Vita TVis not lost on me. It’s a micro-console that will let you play some, but not all, of the Vita library with a DualShock 3 and it supports services like Hulu. That’s to say nothing of the remote play potential with PS4 and cloud streaming of PS3/PS4 games....

Thankfully, it’s easy to turn off Yesterday, plenty of PlayStation 4 users stumbled acrossDestinyin their game library. That’s unusual considering that they don’t actually ownDestiny. Is this some sort of free trial? Maybe, fingers crossed, a mistake on PlayStation’s behalf? Nope, it’s just the newest way that Sony’s advertising to you. Upon clicking through, instead of launchingDestinyit took everyone to a store where they could buyDestiny. It’s called “featured content” by Sony....

Picture this: You’re in a small European village, there’s an ominous church, and you don’t quite know where to go. This could be the setup for countless Italian horror films. It’s also where we find our protagonist at the beginning of theSaturnaliademo, which went live as part ofSteam Next Fest. The demo sets you free to complete simple objectives that eventually open up into a larger, interwoven mystery. It’s all vaguely interesting from the start, but it’s the off-kilter sketchbook visuals that make me want to explore further....

I remember my first encounter One of my favorite gaming experiences is playing something completely blind. That’s just what I did for my first everSuper Marioplaythrough on NES. While I played with my parents at my side, they didn’t really know a whole lot about games, much lessMario, so it was up to me to figure everything out. Instinctively, I remember hitting my first question mark block and getting that iconic mushroom, and how accomplished I felt....
