The late ‘80s—when Japan’s economy was booming, suits were loud, and punching someone in the face counted as business negotiation. And it’s in this chaos of neon signs and shoulder pads that Yakuza 0 sets its stage once again, this time strutting onto the Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title. Yes, Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut is real, and it's...
During Playism's Tokyo Game Show 2024 showing, we came across a pretty unique title that combines the dark depths of the undersea with an action title akin to a fast-paced mecha title ala Zone of the Enders.

Playism's Tokyo Game Show 2024 showing had a slew of fun indie games filled with bright and pixelated artwork.

That game has a release date: 23 June for PC (Steam). Playism is ...
Last year during Tokyo Game Show 2024, we played a number of Playism titles that really clicked with us.

Playism has announced the release date for this cutie: 19 May f...

Street Fighter 6's final Year 2 character, Elena will be arriving in a few months, so Capcom is showing her off in style. Elena fights using Capoeira, meaning her buttons are all kicks.

Sega has just added a splash of hedgehog-flavoured chaos to the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch day buffet. That’s right—Sonic X Shadow Generations is revving up for a day-one release on 5 June, joining the slightly less spiky Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut and the utterly bonkers Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S. Yes, that’s now three Sega titles ready to blow ...

No, Stadium is the third cornerstone of Overwa...
