The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular Twitter posts and livestreams, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned Primogems.

With the rise of other digital storefronts such as Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and the Microsoft Store, some game publishers opt to only put their games on PC on one or possibly two of them.

You may have your own preference in this field, but with Starfield being a Bethesda-developed, Microsoft-owned game, it probably won't surprise you to learn that Starfield is on the Microsoft Store.

I do as I'm told, taking them to the dinner table. In childish, whimsical fashion as a childish, whimsical child, I grab my pair of chopsticks and start hitting them together as if I'm a drummer. "Olivia, don't do that," my mum scolds me. "Your grandma always used to tell me off when I did that as a child." Sullenly, I put the chopsticks back down on the table. Well, 10 year old me, you're in for a treat. If you wait a couple of decades, you'll learn of Nour: Play With Your Food, a game which allows you to bang together chopsticks. The game wants you to.

It opened my eyes to the world of tile-based puzzler strategy games, and I've looked out for similar ones ever since.

Growth is one of these, and I'm hooked on the demo that's playable as part of Steam Next Fest. Taking place on a hexagonal grid, the aim is to uncover the map using a range of wildlife, fertilising the land in the process. Each tile you reveal gives you points, and you'll have to navigate around mountains, water, and special landmarks. |

From what Manuel Bronstein, Roblox's Chief Product Officer, shared in an official blog post yesterday, it seems that it'll be on creators to label their experiences as mature, which "may contain more violence, blood, or crude humour" than usual experiences. The introduction of age appropriate access is not for safety primarily, as Roblox say they want to "simulate and even go beyond what's possible in the real world". Bronstein also added that, "We want to replicate that dynamic on Roblox," referring to the idea of getting older and legally being allowed to enter places such as nightclubs. |

The official Final Fantasy VII Remake Japanese Twitter account shared new concept art of young Tifa wearing her classic Nibelheim cowboy outfit designed for Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion and the recent FFVII Remake trilogy. The tweet showed Tifa's design more recent releases, as well as in the original FFVII. Tifa wore her iconic cowboy and western-inspired clothes in Nibelheim five years before the start of FFVII Remake and the original FFVII. The design originally appeared in the flashback during FFVII and in certain late-game sections of Crisis Core. The tweet also revealed that the Seventh Heaven bar was inspired by Western taverns and saloons to match with Tifa's costume. You can take a better look at the new young Tifa concept art for FFVII Remake and Crisis Core based on her Nibelheim look below: https://twitter.com/FFVIIR_CLOUD/status/1671442844052250625 As a reminder, the second part of the FFVII Remake, titled Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, made an appearance at the Summer Game Fest 2023. It is very likely that young Tifa's cowboy design will make an appearance in the game, as the flashback to Nibelheim was briefly featured in a previous trailer. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come to the PlayStation 5 in early 2024 on two discs. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy VII Remake is immediately available for the PS4, PS5, and PC.

Nintendo announced a new WarioWare game called WarioWare: Move It during its Nintendo Direct on June 21, 2023. The trailer shows off a collection of some of the minigames that you'll be able to play. It looks like this game will not be compatible with a Nintendo Switch Lite. Here is the trailer for WarioWare: Move It: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4kkqicAeG0 Since you play the game by holding the two Joy-Cons in your hands, a Nintendo Switch Lite might not be able to run it. How you move while holding the Joy-Cons, as well as how you move the Joy-Cons themselves, are how you have to beat the myriad of funky games that Wario and his friends will throw at you. Aside from playing on your own, you can connect another pair of Joy-Cons to play with a friend. It looks like only local co-op is available. If you have lots of friends who like to play WarioWare, there's also a party mode where a maximum of four people can play at once. It looks like party mode will have a variety of ways to play, including a board game mode. WarioWare: Move It will come out for the Nintendo Switch on November 3, 2023.

During the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, Zelda and Ganondorf The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo appeared. These will launch during the 2023 holiday season. That means we can probably expect to see them in stores around December 2023. Here's the first look at the two figures. Both the Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo are wearing their new attire from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Zelda's is an outfit she wears after people make their way a bit into the game. She's also holding the Master Sword in her figure. With Ganondorf, we're seeing his new "rehydrated" look after he's fully awakened in the game.
These will be the second and third amiibo based completely on characters from this installment. When Nintendo announced the game, it also shared a Link figure. It features his arm as it shows up in the game and his new outfit. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is available for the Nintendo Switch, and the Zelda and Ganondorf amiibo figures will show up for the 2023 "holiday" season.

During the Japanese June 2023 Nintendo Direct covering Switch games, a new trailer for Fate/Samurai Remnant came out. It showed a bit more of what the game will look like. The protagonist is Iori Miyamoto and his Servant is Saber. Jeanne d'Arc Alter will also appear as an enemy Servant, though it's unclear what Class she would manifest under in Fate/Samurai Remnant. You can watch the trailer here: The story of Fate/Samurai Remnant takes place during the Keian era. Since he's a samurai, Iori can fight in combat as well instead of solely relying on his Servant. In the story, Iori and Saber are participants in a Holy Grail War-like ritual. His bond with Saber is a key part of the gameplay. You can raise their combination gauge around town or in combat, and use them in battle. There's not much information on the Waxing Moon Ritual that Iori and Saber will be participants of. However, the presence of Jeanne d'Arc Alter in Fate/Samurai Remnant implies that it will not be a normal one. Since Jeanne d'Arc Alter, or "Jalter," is not a traditional heroic hero, she should not be a Servant that someone can summon. Fate/Samurai Remnant will come out on September 28, 2023 on the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam.
