Final Fantasy VII Remake may have taken five years from its announcement to release, but Square Enix is saying that won't be the case for subsequent games in the series.
In a series of tweets, producer Yoshinori Kitase noted that "due to the work already done on the first game we anticipate development of the second game to be more efficient."
var sas = sas || {}; sas.cmd = sas.cmd || []; sas.cmd.push( function () { sas.call( { siteId: 234595, pageId: 932921, formatId: 67398, tagId: "sas_67398" }, { networkId: 3073, domain: "//sgp-secure.smartadserver.com" /*, onNoad: function() {} */ } ); } );The first title in the Remake series was confirmed to be releasing March 3, 2020 during Square Enix's E3 Showcase this week.
The game will take place completely within the city of Midgar; a section which made up roughly a quarter of the original game's content.
A new location-based mobile game is in the works, this time set in the world of Netflix's Stranger Things.
Details emerged today during the streaming company's E3 panel, where gameplay would see players "explore The Upside Down hidden around you and work together with other players to overcome its emerging evils."
var sas = sas || {}; sas.cmd = sas.cmd || []; sas.cmd.push( function () { sas.call( { siteId: 234595, pageId: 932921, formatId: 67398, tagId: "sas_67398" }, { networkId: 3073, domain: "//sgp-secure.smartadserver.com" /*, onNoad: function() {} */ } ); } );
With all of the massive news at E3 this year, it's easy to miss the smaller announcements.
Nestled amongst all of the big news, we today learned that the Switch magicians, Panic Button and publishers Perfect World Entertainment have announced that Torchlight II is making the leap to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch this September.
Torchlight II originally released on PC in 2012 to critical acclaim and holds an impressive 88 on review aggregate site, Metacritic. Developed by Runic Games on PC, Torchlight II sees players making their way through randomly-generated dungeons as one of four character classes. During their journey, players will come up against increasingly challenging foes, all the while bagging a tonne of new loot, weapons and gear.
The biggest show in gaming is finally here.
E3 2019 and its big reveals are set to start in a few short minutes with Microsoft taking to the sage for its Xbox showcase.
Rumours of Microsoft unveiling its next-gen console have been running rampant, and it looks like in a few short minutes, we'll have our first look at Xbox Scarlet.
A sequel to the hugely successful The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is in the works.
Nintendo made the announcement this morning as part of its E3 Direct.
var sas = sas || {}; sas.cmd = sas.cmd || []; sas.cmd.push( function () { sas.call( { siteId: 234595, pageId: 932921, formatId: 67398, tagId: "sas_67398" }, { networkId: 3073, domain: "//sgp-secure.smartadserver.com" /*, onNoad: function() {} */ } ); } );What few scenes were shown saw Link and Zelda exploring a dark and eerie dungeon and awakening a mummified figure.
The overall tone was much darker than the first title, with atmospheric music that would have fit nicely in a horror game.
Ahead of what will be a huge week in gaming news, Baldur's Gate 3 has been officially announced.
Revealed at the recent Google Stadia Connect with a grim CGI trailer (seen below), Baldur's Gate 3 is being developed by Larian, the studio responsible for the incredible Divinity: Original Sin 2.
The upcoming sequel is deep in development but the studio isn't ready to divulge many details. Speaking with IGN, Larian CEO, Swen Vincke stated "“The agreement is that we respect their lore, and that we base ourselves in D&D 5th edition, otherwise we wouldn't be doing it. They want us to make a really good video game that feels like you're playing Dungeons & Dragons on your computer, alone or with friends. And so that's really what we want to make.”
Destiny developer Bungie has detailed its plans for the game's future – the most notable of which is that the base game will be going free-to-play.
This new iteration will be called Destiny 2: New Light, and will launch alongside the game's upcoming expansion on September 17.
New Light will offer all of Destiny 2's Year One content – including 'Curse of Osiris' and 'Warmind' DLC – for free. Additionally, all areas from Year Two will be accessible to players in New Light, although missions specific to the Forsaken expansion and Season Pass will require purchase.
