CAPCOM’s Mega Man: Dual Override Nails The Blue Bomber Feel, But New Chip System Subtly Rewrites The Rules

10 September 2026 at 19:00

Two characters from Mega Man Duel Override stand back-to-back, featuring a blue-armored character and a red-armored character with a yellow scarf.

Unlike series like Onimusha, which made its triumphant return with Way of the Sword, the Mega Man series hasn't been left dormant for decades, as the latest main entry in the series, Mega Man 11, launched in 2018. Still, the Blue Bomber had yet to make its debut on current-generation systems, and will do so in style, as Mega Man: Dual Override is set to continue the incredible stream CAPCOM has been on since the launch of Resident Evil VII: Biohazard in Spring 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch systems. During gamescom 2026, […]

A Costco customer looking for toilet paper ending up buying an RTX 5080 gaming PC for $2,100

Stumbling upon an excellent gaming PC deal during the DRAM shortage is a distant dream, but there are moments when buyers truly strike gold, and the strangest thing about these occasions is that they happen when you least expect them to. A customer heading into a Costco outlet was shopping for toilet paper when he came across a powerhouse of a gaming PC, the MSI Aegis ZS2, which came with an RTX 5080 and other impressive hardware to futureproof you for several years. Best of all, the purchase cost him $2,100. Despite the higher price tag, the customer requested manager give him […]

Square Enix Dodges DLSS 5 confirmation for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, but Targets ‘Much Smoother’ PC Version than Rebirth

10 September 2026 at 12:01

A scene from 'Final Fantasy VII Revelation' shows Cloud Strife kneeling among glowing flowers, with several characters standing in the background.

In our fresh, exclusive interview with Square Enix's Naoki Hamaguchi, Kai asked the Game Director whether the PC version of Final Fantasy VII Revelation would support the new NVIDIA DLSS 5 3D-Guided Neural Rendering technology. Hamaguchi didn't commit either way, but he did commit to ensuring that the PC version of the game runs significantly better than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Please look forward to our future announcements on that. In terms of the PC version, we're still working on the recommended specs. But we do have a goal to make the PC version run a lot more smoothly than […]

Square Enix Redefines JRPGs With Final Fantasy VII Revelation in 2027, As Sweeping Player Choice Takes Center Stage

10 September 2026 at 12:00

Characters from the game 'Final Fantasy VII: Revelation' stand on rocky cliffs, facing a massive, fiery creature with colorful, armored appendages.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation was hands-down among the best reveals of the Summer gaming showcases, if not the very best. Although the game was a known quantity, given the amount of teasing director Naoki Hamaguchi had done in the previous months, seeing the Highwind soar over Gaia and Cloud and his companions parachute down toward the biggest open-world the series has delivered to date was one of those moments that sticks, much like the announcement of the entire Remake trilogy. While the reveal awed fans of the series, the question remained: how would the third and final entry handle its […]

Phantom Blade Zero Hands Platinum Trophy In One Run, Yet 66 Days Mode Will Show The Game’s True Essence

10 September 2026 at 09:50

A character in the game Phantom Blade Zero prepares for combat with a mysterious opponent in a misty, forested setting adorned with hanging white ribbons.

Phantom Blade Zero is among the many high-profile games launching during October to avoid colliding directly with GTA 6, but the action game developed by S-Game was originally supposed to launch on September 9 on PC and PlayStation 5. Still, director Soulframe Liang took advantage of the game's original release day to provide some great insight, revealing how a single playthrough at any difficulty will be enough to unlock the Platinum Trophy, but New Game+ and the Sixty-Six Days difficulty mode will reveal the true essence of the experience. "I never thought before that in Phantom Blade Zero, my favorite […]

Ubisoft is embracing Steam properly and doing away with the Connect launcher

10 September 2026 at 14:00

Ubisoft has quietly made one of its biggest PC‑gaming moves in years. Starting with Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the publisher is testing a new system on Steam that delivers Ubisoft Connect features without forcing players to install or launch the Ubisoft Connect PC launcher at all.

In a small update posted to Steam, Ubisoft explained that the new “Ubisoft Connect Services” tool will keep cross‑progression, cross‑play, challenges, rewards and other account‑linked features intact, but remove the requirement for the standalone launcher. Ubisoft describes this first version as “an initial step toward a smoother and more streamlined launch experience on Steam”, adding that it plans to iterate on the system and roll it out to more titles over time.

This is a notable shift for Ubisoft. For years, PC players have been frustrated by the company’s launcher, which often sat between Steam and the game itself, adding extra steps, slowing startup times and creating occasional login issues. Many will be pleased to see it go, although you will likely still need a registered Ubisoft account to access certain game features like cross-save.

Ubisoft says the new system will “progressively evolve and roll out to more Ubisoft games on Steam in the future”, so it shouldn't be too long until we start seeing it in titles like Rainbow Six Siege and Assassin's Creed.

KitGuru Says: Ubisoft Connect isn't going away completely, but this is still a welcome change. Don't rush to uninstall the launcher just yet though, as there are still many titles in Ubisoft's library that will need to be updated.

SEGA’s Crazy Taxi: World Tour Revives the Arcade Classic, Yet Its Craziest Missions May Top The 1999 Original

9 September 2026 at 16:30

A vibrant taxi car with blue and orange flames drives under a large airplane on a runway, with 'TAXI' displayed above the vehicle.

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 […]

Gundam Rogue Orbit Evokes CAPCOM’s Monster Hunter Series At High Speed, As Its Combat Stole The Show At Gamescom 2026

8 September 2026 at 14:00

Two characters in futuristic attire stand and sit on rocks in front of a large, glowing, robotic mech in a sci-fi setting.

Every edition of gamescom has a couple of games that blew my expectations out of the water. With new entries in established series you are a fan of, it is easy to put to the side new, untested franchises, especially in testing environments that are far from optimal. As such, when one of these games stands out, it really does. In 2025, One More Level's Valor Mortis stood out amidst the sea of new entries in established series, and this year, the honor went to more than a few games. One of them was definitely Gundam Rogue Orbit. What I […]

Persona 4 Revival Makes Maxing Social Links Easier Than Golden, But Producer Warns It’s Still No Cakewalk – Interview

7 September 2026 at 16:24

A character from 'Persona 4 Revival' stands with a raised sword against a bright, glowing background.

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 […]

Persona 4 Revival Feels Like 2012 All Over Again, As Atlus Enhances Rather Than Overhauls The Classic

7 September 2026 at 15:12

A scene from the game Persona 4 shows a character wielding a sword against a vibrant backdrop with the text 'THE HERO!' displayed prominently.

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 […]

The Witcher 4 Brings Back Dandelion, Yet His Role In Songs of the Past May Be Smaller Than Anticipated

7 September 2026 at 10:32

A character in 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' wearing a detailed, colorful outfit conversing with another character in a wooden interior setting.

With Geralt passing the protagonist torch to Ciri in The Witcher 4, many are expecting a good portion of the cast of the first three entries in the series to not make an appearance. While we have yet to hear anything about any other notable character of the game launching in 2028 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, we did get the confirmation that Dandelion will be back in the fourth entry in the series, although his role in The Witcher 3's Songs of the Past expansion could be smaller than anticipated. As reported by the Facebook page […]

Overly-ambitious PC-exclusive Samson is coming to consoles alongside update

7 September 2026 at 11:30

Every so often there comes a game which presents a great deal of ambition, only for the title to eventually succumb to its own limitations. Such was the case with Samson – a self-published semi-open world action adventure title featuring hand-to-hand combat, vehicle racing and a system in which you try to erase your debts before it’s too late. Launching on PC to mixed reviews earlier this year, Samson is now officially coming to consoles alongside a bunch of promised improvements.

Making the official announcement, the team at Liquid Swords confirmed that Samson will be coming to consoles in just a few weeks’ time on the 21st of September. As mentioned, the game’s initial launch left plenty to be desired, with its PC release currently sitting at a less-than-stellar ‘Mixed’ reception on Steam.

That said, the game itself did have some promise, and so in an effort to build upon the original release, the team have confirmed that Samson’s console launch will arrive alongside a suite of new additions.

Samson Consoles

Unfortunately, we did not get any specifics, though the team have promised to “announce our next content update soon” stating “we are also adding a bunch of new, exciting things in the PC version of the game – representing arguably our biggest update so far.”

While much of what was shared is rather vague, Liquid Swords do appear committed to the project, claiming that “We have plenty of ideas for how Tyndalston and Samson could grow” while also confirming “additional story content is among the ideas we are exploring.”

Full details on the upcoming console release, including target framerates, can be found HERE.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

KitGuru says: Did you check out Samson back when it first launched on PC? Is there potential for the game to succeed? What fixes/improvements do you hope to see with future updates? Let us know down below.
