Fans of Jujutsu Kaisen and beautiful, anime-inspired JRPGs received a special reason to rejoice this week following the announcement that Jujutsu Kaisen Phantom Parade, the mobile game adaption of the acclaimed manga series, will finally receive its global release before the end of 2024. This announcement was part of Juju Fest 2024, which featured several notable reveals for fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, including a Hidden Inventory movie slated for 2025 and a Season 2 Guide Book set to be released for Japanese audiences in October. However, the most significant revelation was that publisher BILIBILI GAMES would be bringing Jujutsu Kaisen…

The Blood of Dawnwalker is the debut dark fantasy RPG from Rebel Wolves, a studio founded in part by ex-CD Projekt Red developers. That includes Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz and Cyberpunk 2077 quest design director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz. In a press release, the game certainly sounds like it has all the ingredients for something impressive and exciting, but we previously hadn’t seen much of Dawnwalker in action. A new 10-minute deep-dive into the gameplay and some accompanying previews have changed that. So, how is everything shaping up? Based on the new footage and details we’ve learned, Rebel Wolves’ first game…

Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for August 28th, 2024. Gosh, that presentation yesterday sure had a lot of good stuff in it, didn’t it?

Last year, Asahi Breweries revealed its new canned cocktail called the Mirai no Lemon Sour. Who better to market than the one-winged angel himself? That’s apparently a thought that crept into the head of someone on the beer company’s marketing team, and all I can say is, “Hell yeah.” Asahi’s new collaboration with Square Enix was revealed by Famitsu, and it comes complete with the Final Fantasy VII villain using his super-long Masamune to chop up some lemons for the shochu-based cocktail. Here is the full 20-second ad, which is way cooler than those NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer “Keep It Tasty”…

Korn, the nu metal band that helped pioneer the heavy rock genre, has a new song that’s inspired by the grind of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo games. It’s the first new music from Korn in four years, and arrives with a grisly new animated video timed to the release of the Diablo 4 expansion Lord of Hatred. It’s a sensible pairing. Korn and Diablo are both products of the ’90s, and each trades in dark, violent imagery and the cathartic release of pent-up energy. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis also just happens to be something of a Diablo enthusiast himself. He plays…

Ever since 2015’s Until Dawn, I’ve been a big fan of Supermassive Games. From wincing as Rami Malek meets a grizzly end at the hands of a buzzsaw in Until Dawn, to fleeing an undead monstrosity in Man of Medan years later, the Guildford-based team has always excelled in delivering thrilling, cinematic scares that I enjoy. It’s why I came into my preview session with high hopes for the studio’s fifth outing, Directive 8020. Yet after finally going hands-on with Supermassive’s first foray into sci-fi, my bizarrely brief demo left me feeling more underwhelmed than terrified.Part of Supermassive’s ongoing anthology…

Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days. Back in the day the App Store would showcase the same games for a week, and then refresh those features each Thursday. Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes constantly, so the need for everyone to release all on…

It’s Alien Day, and this year Creative Assembly and Sega have a special present for Xenoheads everywhere: a new teaser for the upcoming Alien: Isolation 2.  The brief video, titled “False Sense of Security” on YouTube, offers a fresh glimpse into the ominous world of the game. A dark, creaking room opens up to reveal a dilapidated alien base soaked in rain, followed by a cut to the iconic emergency phone booth that serves as a save station throughout Alien: Isolation. While it isn’t a ton to go off of, it does suggest the sequel might take place in a…
