Trailer  A new trailer is a great recap of past The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom videos

The release date for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is steadily creeping closer despite only being announced in June. It's now only two weeks away! It puts Zelda in the hot seat after rifts start forming in the world and pulling people in. There have been lots of trailers showing off the game's features, but today Nintendo dropped a 5-minute Overview Trailer to help pull all publicly known information together and tie it up with a neat little bow. I don't think there's much (if anything) new, but it's compiled well enough to make it worth watching. Hyrule is described as a sprawling, vibrant land. At the center of a great field is Hyrule Castle, surrounded by a bustling town. Regions in Hyrule include Gerudo Desert, Faron...

Trailer  Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire trailer shows it wears its heart on its sleeve

Sky Oceans: Wings For Hire is the latest loving homage to the JRPGs of yesteryear. It's being published by PQube, and there's a new trailer that's very much a "spot the references/homages" affair. It's a game that takes place in the skies (no, not of Arcadia, although…). It's structured very much like a Dragon Quest or Ni No Kuni, in that you'll move from town to town, solving local problems before moving on, with the grand narrative slowly building in the background. And speaking of Ni No Kuni, the game also draws its visual inspiration from the work of Level-5 and Studio Ghibli. It's a lot to live up to, but the trailer certainly puts a strong foot forward! From the press release: Relive a Golden Era of Classic JRPGs with a...

Trailer  Skyward Sword HD randomizer announced with release date and trailer

Skyward Sword is a divisive title in the Zelda series. Hailed with praise at launch with a 93 Metacritic average, the game since received criticism for the often-unwieldy and frustrating control scheme that serves as the foundation of its gameplay, paired with a more linear experience than fans were previously used to. In 2020 we saw one of these issues fixed, as the Skyward Sword randomizer saw its first release. For those unfamiliar, a randomizer is a mod that shuffles parts of a game to provide an entirely unique playthrough. In games like Super Mario 64 we've seen Mario's basic abilities be hidden in levels, in the Pokemon series we see wild encounters shuffled. For games like Zelda, you'll generally find obtainable items being the...

Trailer  Microids releases new trailer for anti-Sherlock Holmes (Arsene Lupin) game

Maurice Leblanc's Arsene Lupin is often considered to be the literary foil to Sherlock Holmes. Where the great detective solved crimes, Lupin, the great "gentlemen thief," commits them. Despite his enduring popularity as a literary character, Studio Ghibli film, and references across any number of games (including Persona 5), though, Mr. Lupin has never yet starred in a video game. That changes soon, thanks to Microids, and the upcoming Arsene Lupin – Once A Thief. The company (which has published more than a few other adventure games starring classic literary characters in the past) has released a new trailer for the game, and it looks good. Very good. Once A Thief is being developed by Blazing Griffin (a bunch of Hercule Poirot...

Trailer  Find out if you can survive an eternal deep freeze in Permafrost, launching in Early Access for PC next year

It is over 30 degrees where I live (it feels like 37 at this moment, to be precise) so living in a world stuck in an eternal deep freeze sounds downright lovely right now – but the gameplay teaser trailer for Permafrost has reminded me that a frozen world might not be so great either. Only those with strength, smarts, resourcefulness, and adaptability will be able to survive the Permafrost's bleak open-world landscape when it launches in Early Access for PC in 2025. An apocalyptic moon phase phenomenon known as the shattering has placed humanity on the brink of extinction thanks to an eternal deep freeze. Political and economic structures have collapsed. Billions of people have died. It is possible to survive? Is it worth it to help...

Trailer  Witchy farming sim RPG Garden Witch Life will now launch for consoles alongside PC

Watching games progress through development is one of the great pleasures of writing game-related news. I've had my eye on indie-developed Garden Witch Life for about three years now. I first heard about it during 2021 when it was known as A Garden Witch's Life and set to launch for PC. In 2022 Soedesco partnered with FreetimeStudio to publish the future title, which was renamed to Garden Witch Life at the time. (The slightly altered title was unveiled at a Wholesome Direct.) Today, the developer and publisher have announced that the cozy magic farm/life sim will be coming to consoles as well as PC – and it's launching later this year. The story begins when you – a small witch from a big city – lose your job and have to move to a...

Trailer  Publisher PQube and Valthirian Arc developer Agate announce new romantic fantasy visual novel Celestia: Chain of Fate

Nearly a year after Agate launched Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 to mixed reviews, the developer is trying its hand at bringing otome visual novel Celestia: Chain of Fate from story app Memories: My Story, My Choice to PC and Nintendo Switch. This isn't something I've seen done a whole lot and I'm really interested to see how it will turn out. It seems like the mobile and PC/console versions of Celestia: Chain of Fate are pretty much the same, though a press release for the PC and Nintendo Switch versions does state there are extra stories about each character in order to delve deeper into their background and personality. You've always just been the daughter of a Duke, but that's about to change as you uncover your true...

Trailer  Realm of Ink is not related to Splatoon… it sure looks great though

You can't talk about ink in video games without someone bringing up Splatoon. But Realm of Ink is a very different beast. It's coming to Early Access on PC on May 17, courtesy of dual developers, Leap Studio and Maple Leaf Studio. The publisher is 663 games. Realm of Ink is basically Hades, the inky version, and with a far more attractive protagonist. It is a roguelike action game, and while I think most people would join me in saying "enough is enough" as far as that genre goes, it's hard to not be intrigued when it looks like this. It does have an intriguing, dark fairy tale-like concept, too. You play as Red, an expert swordswoman, who finds herself drawn into a short story collection called the Realm of Ink. What this means in...

Trailer  Become a cute animal and spread happiness in the enchanting world of Cozy Caravan, launching in Early Access for PC this month

I've become weary of Early Access games, and I know I'm not the only one. There have been a lot of… not great… games released in Early Access that don't actually improve over time, but I am hopeful that Cozy Caravan will fit not into that category. The developer has been very open about taking in player feedback, even two months ago when the game was first announced. The wholesome adventure game now has a date set for its Early Access launch – and it's only two weeks away! Cozy Caravan is a single-player, top-down adventure. The arts of crafting, trading, and exploration come together in a beautiful cozy world. It all starts when you create your own cute animal persona before hitting the road in your caravan alongside your best buddy...

Trailer  Path of the Midnight Sun developer Studio Daimon has announced a new strategy RPG roguelike game, Food Devils

The first game from Studio Daimon – a JRPG called Path of the Midnight Sun – has a great narrative, solid gameplay mechanics, and a pleasing aesthetic. Today, Studio Daimon announced its next title. Food Devils is about the lone human chef remaining in a post-apocalyptic world where food is scarce and survival is a struggle. It combines gameplay elements from SRPGs, roguelikes, and base builders. Food Devils is set to launch in late 2025 for PC (and possibly consoles if a stretch goal is met on Kickstarter, but I'll get to that later). Food Devils begins in a world with excessive pollution thanks to humanity. The gods reverse the food chain to punish them, causing modern civilization to collapse. Centuries later, society has regressed...
