We first – and last – saw Unknown 9: Awakening nearly four years ago, when the original action-adventure game from developers Reflector was revealed with a flashy cinematic trailer at Gamescom 2020. Since then, main character Haroona has aged from a young girl in India to an adult with the power to possess people and make them murder each other, if our first look at gameplay ahead of a release this summer is anything to go by.
It turns out that Persona 3 Reload will get previously missing expansion The Answer after all, as Atlus announce that the epilogue chapter included in past re-release Persona 3 FES will be added as DLC this September.
Last time, you decided that removing a card from your deck is better than enemies stopping respawning after you kill them loads. The result wasn’t close but was closer than I expected, which shows why it’s important to ask. We’re doing important work here, you and I. This week, it’s a question of mitts. What’s better: left-handed FPS options or a little hand for a cursor?
Fans of curly wind FX and striking from a sheathed stance rejoice – open world samurai action game Ghost of Tsushima is coming to PC on May 16th via Steam and Epic Games Store. This is the Director’s Cut edition of the game, which includes the Iki Island story expansion and the co-op multiplayer Legends mode. It’s being developed by PC port specialists Nixxes, the studio behind the PC version of Horizon Forbidden West – Complete Edition, and features customisable mouse and keyboard controls plus unlocked frame rates and assorted graphical whizbangs. I’ve got a trailer for you below.
Not long ago, a few of us from the RPS Treehouse wandered through first-person survival ’em up Nightingale with its boss Aaryn Flynn, and then had it out about the game’s crafting menus. I was one of the folks who wasn’t so hot on what we’d played, and I’d hoped that the early access version would prove me wrong.
Alas, I am sad to report that I still do not like Nightingale. From what I’ve played so far, the game is an awkward marriage of survival game and live service loot grind, which makes you feel divorced from the very world you inhabit.
Arrowhead have released a new Helldivers 2 update – patch 01.000.100 – which designer Alex K describes as “the first round in a never-ending series of balance changes”. The patch nerfs three of what were hitherto the best Helldivers 2 guns and gear pieces – the SG-225 Breaker shotgun, the RS-422 railgun, and the SH-32 shield generator backpack, all of which break Arrowhead’s pretty straightforward golden rule that “each gun has its purpose and none is strictly better than another”.

Yesterday I banged out the first in a torrid trilogy of Dragon’s Dogma 2 features, centring on hands-on time with the game’s Mystic Spearhand “vocation” or class. Look out for parts 2 and 3 over the coming week. During the hands-on, I also spent 45 minutes in the shoes of another advanced Dragon’s Dogma 2 class, the Magic – sorry, Magick Archer. You might remember this vocation from the original Dragon’s Dogma; then as now, it combines relatively straightforward bow combat with various breeds of enchanted ammunition, for a surprisingly technical skillset that is enjoyable to faff around with.
Following game concepts including Max Payne with vampires, Kojima’s Strands with witches, organ trading, and an airport for aliens currently run by dogs, Xalavier Nelson Jr’s Strange Scaffold studio are back with another doozy. They’ve announced a release date of April 16th for Life Eater, a game about a modern-day druid who must kidnap and sacrifice people every year to sate a dark god and keep the world from ending. I know what you’re thinking: surely he’s insane in the membrane, insane in the brain. But what if he isn’t?
It’s a new month, which means a new set of games arriving on Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service. The arrivals begin today with stompy, old school shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and will continue before the advent of spring with the mechs-and-plants craft ’em up Lightyear Frontier and telekinetic adventure Control Ultimate Edition, among others.
Meta keep emailing me to tell me my Oculus account is going to be deleted on March 29th. It’s only today, seeing other people talking about it, that it occurs to me: this is not personal. Meta is perhaps going to delete your Oculus account on March 29th as well, if you have one.
You’ve got until that date to migrate your account, and if you don’t you’ll lose all your purchases.
