Famed voice actor Yuri Lowenthal has just blown up Atlus’ spot on his personal Bluesky account with a post about not getting to reprise his role as Yosuke in the studio’s Persona 4 remake — a remake that none of us knew for sure was happening until Lowenthal’s post. And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked....

The Nintendo Switch 2’s first Pokémon title, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, will officially release on Oct. 16, 2025. Pokémon Company International announced on Wednesday that the game will be available on the Switch with players given the choice to retrieve the Switch 2 edition via an upgrade pack. Digital pre-orders for Pokémon Legends: Z-A will begin on June 5 — the same day the Nintendo Switch 2 releases to the masses.  ...

Demoing his new game To a T to press, Keita Takahashi, the creator of Katamari Damacy and one of gaming’s great absurdists, was asked by Digital Trends’ Giovanni Colantonio what drew him to make such oddball games. According to Colantonio, Takahashi regarded the journalist sadly and said, “I was trying to make a normal one this time.” Having played through the game, I’m happy to report that Takahashi’s innate playfulness,...

The Elden Ring Nightreign release time is, befitting the source material, way more complicated than it needs to be. Elden Ring Nightreign, a roguelike multiplayer Elden Ring game, rolls out this week with a fractured release schedule. Whether you’re playing on consoles or PC will determine when you can dive in, but even if you start at a different time than your friends, you’re not entirely missing out: As of...

FFXIV: Dawntrail’s field operation is the Occult Crescent, a huge piece of content that dropped in patch 7.25 and should keep you busy for a while. This content is somewhat tied to the Dawntrail relic weapon (though you’ll be able to complete the weapon without necessarily partaking in the field op), and serves as a great way to kill time while also running some pretty exciting content. Below we explain...

The sun is shining and the Dawntrail field operation and relic weapon is here, as of patch 7.25. For those wanting to get a jump on the relic grind, we got your back, as we detail how to get the Phantom relic weapon in FFXIV below. Just like other relics, the Phantom relic is no joke and it requires quite a bit of play either in the Occult Crescent (the...

As part of patch 7.25, FFXIV players can explore the Occult Crescent, learning about the ruins and creatures that roam the area. As part of the questline for the area, you’ll actually have to seek out specific survey points, glowing bits on the map you can interact with. You will need to find the quest-related survey points if you want to participate in the 48-person dungeon “The Forked Towers,” as...

The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is just about a week away, yet Nintendo is still drip-feeding news about the Switch 2’s new features that’ll separate it from the original Switch. Via the Nintendo Today app on Tuesday, Nintendo shared that a new set of features on the Nintendo Switch Online platform will make its N64 games both more forgiving and more nostalgic. First up is the ability to...

As a console, the Switch 2 is definitely one of Nintendo’s more iterative hardware follow-ups. Both pieces of tech have the same overt sleek design with detachable controllers, and both consoles have significant overlap of their game catalogs. You’d think this might push Nintendo to try to differentiate their offerings as much as possible in the marketing, but no. The Switch 2, like Switch, comes in a red box. It’s...

HBO’s version of The Last of Us is pretty good at maintaining fidelity to the lauded Naughty Dog games, especially when it comes to the blocking of major scenes. But in a way, that exactitude only magnifies the ways in which the show deviates from the games. While viewers expected changes — a good adaptation needs to justify a reason to exist — some of the creative changes have been...
