While it has become a successful third-party publisher, SEGA was once known for releasing gaming systems to rival Nintendo. Following the successful Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive, as it was known outside North America), the Japanese company released the unsuccessful Saturn and the even more unlucky Dreamcast, whose innovative features for the time weren't enough to garner the massive third-party support the system would have needed to rival the PlayStation 2, which dominated the console market in the early 2000s. The Dreamcast's lack of success wasn't caused by the quality of its first-party games. Besides Sonic Adventure, it was the […]

Following my 1-hour long hands-on session with Persona 4 Revival, which immediately brought me back to 2012 when I first played Persona 4 Golden, I had the chance to sit down with Persona series general producer Kazuhisa Wada and art director Akane Kobayashi to talk about the upcoming remake, focusing on the new mechanics and the improvements it will bring to the original PlayStation Vita game. You can find our full conversation below. Note: The interview was conducted via an interpreter and has been edited for clarity. Q: Persona 3 Reload was very faithful to the original game. Is Persona […]

Although the Persona 2 games remain my favorite entries in the series, I have a really soft spot for Persona 4. As such, I couldn't be more excited for Persona 4 Revival, which will bring back Yu Narukami, the rest of the gang, and the mystery behind the Midnight Channel to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 18, 2027. While the game is set to be extremely faithful to Persona 4 Golden, I was still very excited by the opportunity offered by SEGA and Atlus to try it out during gamescom 2026. Though short, my 1-hour-long session […]

Persona 4 Revival continues Atlus' remaking endeavors following 2024's Persona 3 Reload, but it seems like the Japanese company is already thinking about what's next for the popular JRPG series following the release of this new remake and Persona 6 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. With Persona 5 being a modern game in no need of an immediate remake, Atlus could be looking at the series' past, but remaking the first two entries in the series will be a significant challenge due to the original games themselves. Speaking with GamerBraves, Persona 4 Revival producer […]

The first proper look at Atlus's Persona 4 Revival arrived earlier this month during the Xbox Games Showcase, but the Japanese developer provided a more in-depth look at the remake of the fourth entry in the series launching on February 18, 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Game Pass) in a dedicated livestream which showcased its key features, including some new combat features that are set to make some underutilized mechanics more worthwhile to use. The Persona 4 Revival broadcast provided a good overview of what to expect to see in the game, going over […]

Has it really been almost twelve years since the first Alien: Isolation? Players were eager to take a risk on Creative Assembly, a studio that was known almost exclusively for the Total War franchise for the better part of a decade before the project’s announcement. Shifting into first-person survival horror couldn’t have been more of a shift from the English studio’s prior works, but it was something the franchise desperately needed, and the Metacritic scores were unanimously positive while admitting it wasn’t quite a perfect experience. Our playable slice of Alien: Isolation 2, just unveiled at Summer Game Fest 2026, […]

This year's Xbox Games Showcase was a good one for fans of the Persona series, as the presentation delivered not only the first proper look and release date for Persona 4 Revival, but also dropped the official announcement of the next main entry in the series, Persona 6. Unfortunately, the roughly 1-minute-long teaser showed very little of the game, preferring to go all-in in the eeriest atmosphere we have seen for the series to date, surpassing even the cryptic Persona 5 teaser with its question challenging players to break their chains and obtain emancipation and freedom. This choice seems deliberate, […]

At long last, after years of rumors, Summer Game Fest 2026 delivered the reveal of Alien: Isolation 2. The game was confirmed to be in early development in October 2024, but now we've got an actual trailer. Alien: Isolation 2 features a brand-new setting, story, and protagonist. Players will embark on a whole new adventure while experiencing the same deadly tension that made the original game the ultimate survival-horror experience. On a remote, storm-ravaged colony-world, players will endure the elements as they navigate the planet’s surface and explore the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station. It's a […]

During Summer Game Fest 2026, SEGA and RGG Studio unveiled Virtua Fighter: Crossroads, a brand-new installment in SEGA's iconic fighting game franchise, developed by RGG Studio and planned to launch in 2027. The trailer was followed by a dedicated showcase that revealed much more about this groundbreaking new entry in the fighting game franchise. The development team defines it as a "Fighting Adventure": a full fusion of the best narrative, single-player, and competitive fighting experiences, all in one game. It is explicitly not a remake and not a nostalgia project, but a completely reinvented new Virtua Fighter. The game takes […]

It's been 10 years since Persona 5 launched in Japan on PlayStation, and fans of the JRPG series are dying to know what's next for the franchise after Persona 3 Reload. While a new look at Persona 4 Revival could be coming soon, the first alleged look at Persona 6 has unexpectedly arrived today, thanks to a new leak. Character designs for two characters started making the rounds online, thanks to a known source of accurate ATLUS leaks (Xiaohongshu), showcasing what could be the first blond-haired male protagonist for the series and a female character, whose full Yoko Kusakabe name […]

SEGA just published its fiscal year 2026 full-year financials, and while some Japanese publishers like Capcom can't seem to miss lately, that's not the story for SEGA. This past year was not a gangbusters year for SEGA on the commercial side, despite putting out some excellent games like SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance and Persona 3 Reload. The company reported a significant $31.6M net loss and saw a live service game based on its flagship franchise, Sonic Rumble Party, perform far weaker than expected. But that's where all of this could be a good thing for players. If you lost over […]

Stranger Than Heaven received today a brand-new intense trailer called "Five Eras" during the latest Xbox Partner Preview showcase, teasing a lot more than has been shown to date of the next new IP from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the team behind Like a Dragon / Yakuza, including multiple eras and different cities. The five eras - 1915, 1929, 1943, and 1965 - and the five cities promise to make the game one of the biggest the studio has ever released. "We can’t say much more [about that] than what was shown today," said RGG Studio Representative & Executive Producer […]
