I love video games, I love architecture and I love fancy books about both, so the upcoming Videogame Atlas is something I am super interested in checking out when it releases.

     All the Zenless Zone Zero characters we've seen so far

We've had our first glimpse of the Zenless Zone Zero characters we'll be playing as in Hoyoverse's new action-RPG game, which was recently announced. It's immediately clear that this is going to be a different style of anime game than Genshin Impact with guns, anthropomorphic animals, and a contemporary cityscape featuring prominently in the announcement trailer. We don't know much about this new "urban fantasy" adventure, but its exuberant cast of characters were shown off in plenty of detail.

First off, a little context. In Zenless Zone Zero, players take the role of a 'Proxy', a person that is uniquely able to enter and explore 'Hollows', which are dimensional rifts that have caused the destruction of the wider world. Hollows are also inhabited by roaming monsters called Ethereals, and as a Proxy, you can form a squad drawn from a diverse cast of Zenless Zone Zero characters to embark on expeditions into these rifts.

Why? That part's a mystery for now, but one thing we do know is that the last surviving city of humanity - New Eridu - has survived partly because it has managed to find a way to exploit the Hollows for valuable resources, and there are plenty of factions in New Eridu that want to maximise these opportunities. So basically, the answer is loot. For now, let's take a look at everything we know about the characters of Zenless Zone Zero.

Aquarium Hololive Aqua Game

Entergram and Hololive will release a new dating visual novel Aquarium starring VTuber Minato Aqua. The VN will release for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on October 27, 2022. Pre-orders will be available starting June 30, 2022. It's unclear whether the game will receive an English release. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The teaser site for Aquarium reveals the game's key art and further details. Second generation Hololive VTuber Minato Aqua is both producing and starring in the game. Furthermore, the description indicates that it will be a "romantic adventure game." However, there are no gameplay details as of yet.

The key art features Minato Aqua in a maid outfit holding a mop. It appears that she is floating in the air alongside various fruits, a tray with a cup of tea, books, and other snacks. To her right is her grey stuffed cat holding a bell. It appears to be a European setting, with possible fantasy elements.

Aquarium Hololive Aqua Game

Minato Aqua announced Aquarium's development earlier this year during a solo concert performance. The game's developer, Entergram, created KonoSuba: Labyrinth Of Hope And The Gathering Adventurers as well as other visual novels.

Hololive and Entergram will release Aquarium for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on October 27, 2022. Pre-orders will open on June 30, 2022. The PlayStation 4 version of the game will be a digital download. There is no confirmed price or English release.

Helltaker Justice Nendoroid

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for the Helltaker Justice Nendoroid after an earlier reveal back in February 2022. The Nendoroid will cost $63.99 and ship sometime in February 2023. Pre-orders are already available and will close on July 20, 2022. Pre-order bonuses include a postcard featuring character design illustrations by Lukasz Piskorz.

Justice aka The Awesome Demon is one of the seven demons Helltaker meets in the game. She wears sunglasses that hide her blindness as well as red fingerless gloves and appears eating rolled-up pancakes. Last year, fans voted her to be the next Helltaker character to receive a Nendoroid figure, alongside Cerberus and Modeus.

https://twitter.com/GoodSmile_US/status/1535100471710519325?s=20&t=_d37dhnAKW6XLYCoJkFjtg

The Nendoroid will come with three faceplates, each bearing a different expression. One of the faceplates will have the demon munching on some pancakes, with visible crumbs on her face. Another will have her wearing a sly smile. Her sunglasses are removable. Additionally, the Nendoroid will come with a sparkle effect sheet to mimic her appearance in-game.

You can get a better look at the Helltaker Justice Nendoroid in the screenshots below:

The Justice Nendoroid is the second of its kind from the Helltaker series. Previously, Good Smile Company released a Nendoroid of Justice's boss, Lucifer. Furthermore, other Helltaker figures are currently in development, including Nendoroids of Cerberus and Modeus.

The Helltaker Justice Nendoroid is available for pre-order via the Good Smile Company website. The Nendoroid will cost $63.99 and ship sometime in February 2023. Pre-orders will be available until July 20, 2022.

Devolver Digital 2022

Publisher Devolver Digital held its 2022 showcase stream during this year's Summer Game Fest. In a sketch comedy presentation starring No More Heroes creator Goichi "Suda 51" Suda and poking fun at the game industry's increasing consolidation and focus on marketing hype (presented knowingly during an even held for the express purpose of marketing hype), the company revealed new info about five games for PC and consoles.

Besides Card Shark, which is already out (you can read Siliconera's review of that here), and Cult of the Lamb, which is out in August, all of the games presented during the Devolver Digital 2022 Summer Game Fest stream have a 2023 release window.

Here's the full list of featured games. Keep scrolling for their trailers.

  • Cult of the Lamb (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC) - August 11, 2022
  • Anger Foot (PC) - Coming 2023
  • The Plucky Squire (Switch, PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S) - Coming 2023
  • Skate Story (PC) - Coming 2023

You can also check out the full Devolver Digital 2022 stream here, to watch the presentation.

Cult of the Lamb has players controlling a cartoon lamb starting its own cult in a land of false prophets, gathering cute woodland followers and summoning demons. It blends 2D combat with simulation gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI6D2iYCTcU

 

Anger Foot is a first-person shooter that puts the emphasis on kicking everything with "the world's deadliest feet". Players will kick in doors, kick enemies across rooms, and occasionally fire a gun as they crash through Shit City.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R1XJv-pylk

 

The Plucky Squire follows a, well, plucky squire named Jot, a storybook character that breaks out of his book-bound world and into the three-dimensional environs of a child's room.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGwAtbQIC_8

 

Skate Story is a stylish skating game, casting players as a demon made of glass and pain, skating through the Underworld. They've made a deal with the Devil: Skate to the moon and swallow it to go free.

     One Piece Odyssey TrailerOn paper, One Piece Odyssey feels like the game that One Piece fans have always wanted. And thanks to a new gameplay trailer at Summer Game Fest, we got to see a fresh look at One Piece Odyssey in action. The trailer can be viewed below. One Piece Odyssey tells an original story written by One Piece manga author Eiichiro Oda. The game will also have the backing of a soundtrack composed by Motoi Sakuraba of Dark Souls fame. It's the latest of many One Piece video games that are based on the long-running anime and manga franchise. However, while most prior games were focused on fast-paced brawls, One Piece Odyssey is a JRPG with turn-based mechanics. The game is being developed by ILCA, who recently worked on the Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes, and it is being published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.   Taking inspiration from the right places One Piece Odyssey will let players take control of various members of Monkey D. Luffy's Straw Hat crew. The new trai...

     American Arcadia TrailerAmerican Arcadia was announced by developer Out of the Blue Games and publisher Raw Fury just a few months ago. Now, Summer Game Fest has provided us with a new gameplay trailer for American Arcadia and it can be viewed below. From the team that made Call of the Sea, American Arcadia is a vibrant adventure in which players have to survive a televised 1970s nightmare, not unlike The Truman Show. What seems like a perfect utopian city on the surface is actually part of a twisted game show. The populace is unaware that they have popularity ratings and if those ratings sink it could lead to their untimely demise.   The Truman game we never imagined The gameplay trailer for American Arcadia showcases the colorful city in its ideal state. Everything is a little too clean and perfect. Not long after, protagonist Trevor Hills is trying to make a daring escape in 2.5D side-scrolling and platforming sections. Puzzles, stealth, and intense chases all seem to be a part of his journey to escap...
