Lunar is making a video game comeback to modern consoles after more than a decade of absence. GungHo Online Entertainment will be in charge of bringing Lunar back via the Lunar Remastered Collection. One of the premier RPGs from the early '90s, Lunar was one of the first games to utilize the CD-ROM format by using high-quality audio, full motion video, and voice acting to narrate its fantasy story. While some would argue that the entries in the franchise don't really hold up well to most titles of today, the amount of nostalgia it brings could give modern gamers a chance to experience the great plot that Lunar has.

Welcome back to saving a bunch on top games while reminiscing on the retro greats that made us. I'll be your host for today's discounts, which include a slightly cheaper ****** Myth: Wukong and $12 VR games for anybody who bought a PS VR2 to play the best of PCVR. That's what I'll be buying 'em for, at least. In olden times news, I'm equipping the Grunt Birthday Party Skull for Halo 3's 17th. The AU launch for this was more or less a life event for myself and many of you—to the tune of 50K units ($6M) sold in 24 hours. Perspective check: That was one-in-four Xbox 360 owners, and a ******* dollar debut than the previous title holder, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (the film). Personally, I was stoked to finally "finish the ******" and will always have core memories of doing it via 4-player co-op—a feature first for the series. Oh, and the MP vendettas (forged on Guardian against Mark Serrels) were a huge deal at the games mag offices I worked at, too.

Avid gamers have pieced together various hints, clues, and previous games' posting habits to guess the specific date of the next entry in Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise.

Starfield may be a massive game filled with quests to complete but even the most dedicated fan has to admit that running around after NPCs can be a little tedious. When so many missions boil down to collecting an item or ******** a specific target before returning to the quest giver, the constant back and forth wears thin quickly. Other role-playing games have solved this problem with some clever solutions, leading to a pitch that could make Starfield's quest design much more efficient and enjoyable. View the full article

Palworld has just announced it’s expanding to the PlayStation 5 mere days after Nintendo openly pursued legal action against the open-world survival game. The survival game, developed by Pocketpair, launched to huge success when it was first released. After several expansions and the reveal of a PS5 version, it looks like the developers of Palworld will not be slowing down despite the recent lawsuit filed by Nintendo. View the full article

Palworld | Screenshot: PlayStation (YouTube) Sony included the PS5 launch of Palworld as one of its news items during Tuesday evening’s State of Play presentation, but it left out a detail. While the game has launched on PlayStation platforms in 68 countries and regions worldwide, Japan is not one of them. The official ********* account for the game said on X, according to machine translation, that the release date in Japan “has not yet been decided,” without going into detail about the reason. It certainly seems like a reason could be the patent infringement lawsuit Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed against Palworld developer Pocketpair last week, but the tweet didn’t confirm things either way. The most recent statement about the issue from Pocketpair is still this one from... Continue reading… View the full article

In April 2022, Deus Ex: Human Revolution art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletete unveiled his new project, a third-person descent into awfulness called ***** is Us, in development at Mordheim: City of the Damned studio Rogue Factor. It was supposed to be out sometime in 2023, and obviously that didn't happen—in fact, not much at all has happened on the public-facing front since then. But now it's back, with a 2025 release target and a debut gameplay trailer that appeared at today's State of Play showcase... Read more.View the full article

Image: Sony Sony is launching shiny new “Chroma” console covers for the PlayStation 5 Slim that come in pearl, indigo, and teal. And if having an iridescent console isn’t eye-catching enough, you can also get new DualSense controllers to match. The Chroma console covers will cost $64.99 USD, while the DualSense controllers will cost $79.99. Sony is launching the Chroma pearl and indigo accessories on November 7th, followed by teal on January 23, 2025.

You’ll be able to preorder covers and controllers from the collection on October 3rd, with availability in the US, ***, France, Germany, Austria, Spain,... Continue reading… View the full article

[/url][Hidden Content] Sony's Ghost of Yotei trailer. If you've been sleeping on the Akira Kurosawa-inspired, *********'s Creed-esque samurai game Ghost of Tsushima, you've been missing out. Given that it recently got a PC release, this is a great time to catch up on it—but now there's even more reason to do so, as Sony just announced a sequel titled Ghost of Yotei. Slated for a 2025 release, the game bears similarities to its predecessor. It follows a wandering samurai who rides horses across picturesque, wind-swept fields, befriends animals, and defeats enemies in katana duels. Whereas Ghost of Tsushima was set on Tsushima Island during the time of the Mongol invasion, Ghost of Yotei is (fittingly) set around the foot of Mount Yotei, one of Japan's most picturesque locales—the area is called Hokkaido today.

Monster Hunter has always been fairly niche as far as Capcom’s game series go, coming closest to the mainstream with 2018’s Monster Hunter World. That hasn’t stopped it from amassing a dedicated fanbase, however, and Capcom has finally pulled back the curtain on the series’ latest entry. Monster Hunter Wilds looks to be absolutely massive in every way imaginable, from its monster-filled world to the scope of the monsters inhabiting that world to the selection of weapons with which you’ll be asked to brutally ********** them. After much teasing since last year’s Game Awards, Wilds finally had its release date announced at today’s State of Play presentation: February 28, 2025. View the full article

Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for October 2024 at today's State of Play, which will be available from October 1 through November 4, 2024. The biggest edition to the line-up is WWE 2K24 on PS4 and PS5, which IGN gave an 8/10 in its review and compared to its predecessor saying, "While not drastically different, WWE 2K24 is better in almost every way, touting small but smart additions to well-tested systems and modes as opposed to taking ******* risks." Next up is last year's remake of ***** Space on PS5, which we gave a 9/10 and called "a superb remake and undoubtedly the definitive way to experience one of the best survival horror shooters that Capcom never made." Finally, PS Plus users will get access to Doki Doki Literature Club on PS5 and PS4, a game with a cute exterior but a very sinister premise. Doki Doki Literature Club launched on PC in 2017 and has rapidly become a beloved indie darling, becoming one of the best-selling indie games on Switch in 2021 when it launched on the system alongside new content. In the same segment of the presentation, PlayStation announced that both Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Dino Crisis would be joining PlayStation's Classics Catalog "soon" for PS Plus Premium subscribers. And finally, in celebration of The Last of Us Day on September 26, Naughty Dog and PlayStation are bringing The Last of Us Part 1 to the PS Plus game catalog for PS Plus Premium and Extra members. As September comes to a close, there are only a few days left to pick up September's monthly titles, which include Harry Potter Quidditch Champions, MLB The Show 24, and Little Nightmares 2. You can catch up with everything announced in today's State of Play right here. Rebekah Valentine is a senior reporter for IGN. Got a story tip? Send it to [email protected]. View the full article
