PCGamesN Thursday, September 21, 2023 1:10 PM  Resident Evil 3 Remake was an unusual follow up to 2019's Resident Evil 2. Whereas RE2 felt like a comprehensive reimagining of a classic survival horror, building on all the strongest areas, bulking out and improving the weaker parts, and successfully filling every gap from the original, RE3 Remake was shorter, narrower, and generally less 'content rich' than its 1999 namesake. For some, it understandably felt like a mid-effort cash grab; Capcom trying to quickly capitalize on the success of Resident Evil 2. But I think Resident Evil 3 Remake is much more than this, and that it's a smart, economic, and modern recreation of the weakest game in the original trilogy. It's better for the material that it cuts out, and has easily the best central characters and dialogue of any RE game. With the Ada Wong-driven, Separate Ways DLC for Resident Evil 4 Remake finally upon us, this is why Resident Evil 3 Remake deserves another go.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes will come out on January 25, 2024. A new trailer, which you can see on Arc System Works's official YouTube account, shows off some of the new moves and characters that you can play as. In total, there will be 24 characters at launch.
You can watch the new Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes trailer below:
Some changes and improvements that Arc System Works made to the original Under Night In-Birth include new animations and graphics. The arcade mode will also feature a new story, which seems to finish up the existing plot. For the first time, it will also have a rollback netcode, which will improve the experience of playing online. Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes will also implement casual matches into the game for the first time.
Three new characters in Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes include Kaguya, Tsurugi, and Kuon. Arc System Works will reveal more information on Tsurugi and Kuon at a future date. New skills for existing characters include Blaring Outrage (Hyde), Soaring Dragon (Linne), Reverie Obelisk (Orie), and Gloomy Invitation (Seth). The website will continue to update with new techniques as Arc System Works reveals them.
Finally, there are two new battle mechanics: Creeping Edge and Celestial Vorpal. Creeping Edge allows you to approach an opponent while dodging their attacks. If you activate it at a close distance from your opponent, you can even appear behind them. If you have over six GRD gauges when you activate Vorpal, it'll be Celestial Vorpal instead. All of the GRDs will become yours, and your attack will be greatly boosted for a set period of time.
Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes will come out on January 25, 2024, for the PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

During the Xbox Digital Broadcast of Tokyo Game Show 2023, Capcom revealed a release date for the Exoprimal and Street Fighter 6 crossover. The much-anticipated event will come out during Season 2, which will start on October 18, 2023. Mecha versions of three characters—Ryu, Guile, and Chun-Li—will become playable.
The trailer announcing the crossover release date starts off with the usual dinosaur-killing action that you can expect from Exoprimal. It then shows off some of the paint jobs and dances you can use to customize your character. Some looks include a miko-like skin complete with a kitsune mask and a giant teddy bear. At the end of the trailer, the Street Fighter characters make an appearance.
You can watch the Exoprimal season 2 trailer from the timestamp below:
The trailer doesn't give any additional details on the Street Fighter characters that will appear in Exoprimal. It's unknown if they're going to be season rewards that you can obtain for free or if they will be premium skins that cost real money. It also doesn't mention if the Street Fighter skins are limited or not. Capcom first revealed the collaboration in June 2023, but even then, details were scarce. It's also unclear if any Exoprimal content will appear in Street Fighter 6.
Exoprimal is now available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Street Fighter collaboration will start in Exoprimal on October 18, 2023, as part of Season 2.

A Nendoroid of Dan Heng from Honkai: Star Rail will appear in the official miHoYo store from September 25, 2023. As of the time of writing, there is no store page for the item on sites that usually deliver internationally, such as Good Smile or AmiAmi. Price-wise, the Dan Heng Nendoroid costs 345 CNY, which is approximately $45. It'll ship out sometime in June 2023.
The Dan Heng Nendoroid will come with three face plates: a neutral expression, a concentrating expression, and a side-eyeing expression. You can combine the concentrating face plate with the Cloud-Piercer part to make it look like he's about to use his Ultimate. Other optional parts included are a maple leaf and his cell phone. If you order from the miHoYo store, you can also get a free poster. The artwork uses one of the promotional images for Honkai: Star Rail, which shows Dan Heng holding a cup of tea or wine while a full moon in the background looks like it's dripping into it.
HoYoVerse first revealed this figure during the 2023 BilibiliWorld event. Back then, it was only a painted prototype, and we couldn't see what optional parts he had. So far, Dan Heng is the first character from the game to appear as a Nendoroid figure. Considering the popularity of Star Rail, it's likely that it will appear in international storefronts at some point in the future.
Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on Windows PC and mobile devices. A PS5 version will come out on October 11, 2023.

Cyberpunk 2077 did something no game has ever done for me before: it made me come back to it after not really enjoying it the first time and changed my entire opinion around it. Though examples of other titles having a redemption from its initial launch exist, such as No Man's Sky, I never had the motivation to give these games a second chance. But this changed with the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC, as CD Projekt RED finally made good on the promises the RPG made when it was originally released in 2020.
Even for those who don't purchase the Phantom Liberty DLC, you're in for a treat, as the base game feels much more exciting than ever before with the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update. For example, a big improvement is the police wanted system, which honestly should have been in the game from the start. Law enforcement in Night City now reacts smartly to your actions, scaling their hunt for you depending on your wanted level.
The visuals of the game also look sharper and smoother on PS5 as well, giving me more consistency in performance throughout Night City, especially in the new areas. NPCs and enemies react much better now in combat, providing more of a smart challenge than before. CD Projekt RED has even overhauled Cyberpunk 2077's progression system, completely changing how the perk trees work.
Given that I spent more than 30 hours in the base game without ever finishing it, the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update finally gave me the motivation to keep going to complete the Johnny Silverhand storyline. But above all else, the Phantom Liberty DLC is by far the tightest and most impressive piece of the entire Cyberpunk 2077 package.
Phantom Liberty Is the Best Part of Cyberpunk 2077
It feels like CD Projekt RED specifically addressed all of the major criticisms players had with Cyberpunk 2077 in this DLC expansion. The new area of Dogtown feels so alive and is visually striking compared to the other parts of Night City. With the vehicular combat, airdrop missions, and new characters, I had more fun exploring this new location than any other area that had previously been available in the base game.
Phantom Liberty is anchored by a fairly linear but action-packed main story that feels like it was made on an extremely high movie-level budget. Idris Elba's Solomon Reed is a standout character, as you might expect. But there are others in the cast who surprise, such as the extremely talented Christine Minji Chang, who portrays Song So-Mi.
The story starts out with a bang, as the player has to rescue the President of the United States herself. The campaign never really slowed down from there during my time with Phantom Liberty, with car chases, heart-pounding battles, and spy movie-level sequences all following the opening section. There is even a major choice players can make partway through the story that radically changes what ending you get.
This alone is enough reason for Cyberpunk 2077 fans to replay the Phantom Liberty DLC multiple times. Better yet, this new expansion also adds to the base game beyond what the 2.0 update has to offer, with a new ending for you and Johnny Silverhand. As a result, I ended up trying out a brand new character to experience Cyberpunk 2077 in its entirety, and this is the best way to see all of the new content, in my opinion.
Speaking of Johnny Silverhand, I was happy to see Keanu Reeves reprise the role once more. What I found interesting was his voice acting sounded improved, and his character was better written all around in the expansion. Sure, he was the best part of the base game, but his iconic performance is elevated even further with Phantom Liberty. This could be a result of the storytelling improvements or comfort with the character, but if you're a fan of Silverhand, you'll find even more to love here from your trusty companion.
Overall, I adored my time with Phantom Liberty so far. Everything from the action sequences to the terrific performances to even the storytelling, this is what I hoped Cyberpunk 2077 would have been from the start. I enjoyed my time with the DLC, and the 2.0 update changes so much that I actually plan to finally beat the base game and see the new ending now. If, like me, you've been on the fence about this game or were disappointed in the RPG in the past, I recommend giving Cyberpunk 2077 a second chance.
Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Phantom Liberty releases for current-gen platforms on September 26, 2023.

Good Smile Company announced two new Darkstalkers Morrigan and Lilith figures. Both are a part of its Pop Up Parade line, which involves more affordable figures for people to purchase. As such, each one costs ¥4,800/$31.99. The release window for the two of them is also the same. In Japan, they'll show up in February 2024. However, they have a Q3 2024 release window in the US storefront.
Both the Morrigan and Lilith Darkstalkers figures are static ones. Each is wearing their default costume from the fighting game. While normally Lilith looks a bit shorter than Morrigan in-game, both figures are about 170mm (6.7in) tall.
Here's a closer look at the two of them:
While there's no new Darkstalkers game on the horizon, there are other forms of media and merchandise. Udon Entertainment announced a Darkstalkers: Hsien-Ko comic, which will debut in October 2023. There's also a new Felicia figure arriving in 2024.
The new Darkstalkers Morrigan and Lilith figures will release in February 2024 in Japan and Q3 2024 in North America. Pre-orders are open until October 19, 2023.

HoYoVerse shared an array of information about Neuvillette, the new five-star, Hydro catalyst user joining Genshin Impact in 4.1. One trailer is designed to offer insight into him as a character. The other two videos show off his Elemental Skill and Burst. Finally, they confirmed his English and Japanese voice actors.
First, here's the new Neuvillette character trailer for Genshin Impact. It begins with a flashback, where he's questioning his existence and past. It suggests there's more to him that he doesn't recall. The video also shows how he can be kinder and warmer to Melusine characters than he is to others.
Next, here's his Elemental Skill:
Finally, here's his O Tides, I Have Returned Elemental Burst.
In English, Ray Chase voices Neuvillette. Chase is also known as FFXV's Noctis, Gendo Akari in Evangelion, Eve in NieR: Automata, and Alphen in Tales of Arise. In the Japanese dub he's played by Hiroshi Kamiya. Kamiya is also Trafalgar Law in One Piece and Levi in Attack on Titan.

Mortal Kombat 1 revels in combos and complex beatdowns. Its character movesets have been lovingly curated to give you fantastic strings of attacks that will keep opponents reeling. Adding the Kameo System only makes those combo possibilities even more absurd, giving you many different tools to keep opponents flying through the air or to let you sneak in to get your strikes started. Combining all this with the best-looking fighter on the market, a wealth of content to unlock, and some playful modes easily makes this my favorite Mortal Kombat in years.
The story of Mortal Kombat 1 follows Liu Kang after he uses the Hourglass he won at the end of Mortal Kombat 11 to make everything a bit more peaceful. Things naturally don't stay that way, leading you back into battle with our familiar gang of Ninjas and monstrosities. Not that you'll mind, as it's a fine excuse to throw down with the game's combo-centric movesets. The game feels like its speed has been amped up since the previous title, with a greater focus being put on how fast you can execute an attack against your foes while sustaining punishment against them.
While I am still working on getting my timing down on combos, so many of the game's moves launch or link into one another in neat ways. Mortal Kombat 1 feels like the game is naturally coaxing you into thinking about what you can do next with each of its attacks. When Scorpion teleports across the room and slaps someone in the face, what's your follow-up? If you boot someone into the air, what can you do next? While I know this thinking is common in every fighter, Mortal Kombat 1's quick combat really encourages you to launch into a follow-up attack as often as possible. I always felt compelled to see what I could do next since things happen so fast, and foes are often reeling or flipping through the air.
Getting combo timing down takes some practice, though. Coming from Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1's combat can sometimes feel like attacks need to be executed together more quickly if you want to pull off a combination back-to-back. It's a different kind of timing that makes me feel like my hands need to move a bit faster when compared to Street Fighter 6, so it's been a bit of a learning curve. Thankfully, Mortal Kombat 1's combo training mode offers a variety of move suggestions to try and features timed button inputs on the screen so you know when to press them at the correct time. These visual inputs are a great teaching tool and have been a huge help.
Still, maybe you have some difficulties getting past your opponent's fireballs to get your combo started. Maybe your combos are too short, and you'd like to extend them a bit. Or maybe you're a bit sick of getting smacked around as soon as you get up from a fall. For help with any of those, you'll want to make use of Mortal Kombat 1's Kameo system. With it, you can grab an assist character who can do an array of different moves that can help with your own deficiencies or give you a boost to lengthening your combos.
In Mortal Kombat 1, a Kameo is an assist character that you can call in to do an array of different things. With the press of a button, you can quickly tell them what to do when they arrive in your battle. This can include actions such as having them show up to fling a fireball or smack an opponent with a devastating overhead strike. If your character doesn't have a ranged attack, a Kameo will now allow you to counter a fireball-hurling opponent. Then again, you could also just call in Sub-Zero and have him cover you in ice armor to absorb the firey projectiles.
Mortal Kombat 1 is filled with creative Kameo moves that let you counter foes in interesting ways. If you find yourself in a spot of trouble and need to pull yourself out, you can literally call in Scorpion and use his spear to yank you back. Or maybe you just want to stir up some trouble and have Jax do an unblockable ground pound that punishes your opponent for not jumping. Maybe your foe is on top of you, and you want to call in Frost to push them back with a barrage of icy fist strikes. The Kameo system offers so many unique solutions.
Between the Kameos and the robust move sets, you're going to see a ton of creativity in what is possible in this game. Players can essentially add several extra moves to their characters just by using Kameos. However, you can't just abuse the assist system, as the Kameo gauge drains whenever you use it. The Kameo gauge regenerates on its own, but it does so at different rates depending on the move. Still, you start the match with a full bar so that you can go wild pretty quickly and can use a handful of these abilities each round. This means that players can create a whole unique game plan based on their character moves and the Kameo abilities they add to it. There's going to be many surprises in your matches as you get to know this game.
With so much to do, you're going to want to have some solid online play to test it out. Mortal Kombat 1 ran super smooth during my trial periods in online matches and was filled with fun surprises. You can play ranked of Kasual, with Ranked offering you points as you win matches that will steadily raise you through several levels. I seemed to be steadily gaining points even when I lost matches, but not as many.
You gain a lot of different kinds of points, currencies, and experience points for doing most anything in the game, too. For starters, you have player, character, and Kameo levels as you play the various match and game types. As you level your player, you gain access to profile backgrounds and little goodies (up to unlocking new Kameo characters). For the characters themselves, you unlock skins, color schemes, and even Fatalities for them to use (although you can look these up online for free and use them even if they aren't unlocked). You get the same for Kameos.
There is a lot of free stuff you can unlock while playing Mortal Kombat 1. That's something I really enjoyed about it, as much of this is stuff I would expect to pay for in most games these days. There are some genuinely cool new costumes and colors you can get from just playing as a character or Kameo (you get points for whoever you are actively using). You feel like you're rewarded just for playing the game instead of always spending money on it. There are some premium costumes and accessories, but if you don't want to spend anything, there's still a lot you can unlock.
If online play isn't your thing, you can still gain a great deal of player and character experience points in single-player modes. You have the usual Towers where you fight 6, 8, or 10 battles against an array of opponents. You also have Endless mode (beat as many as you can without losing) and Survival (beat as many as you can without health top-ups). More fun than those Invasions, which plays more like a board game where you kill people.
Invasions puts you on a top-down map in a variety of Mortal Kombat 1 locales. Here, you can walk to various nodes and do single-round fights with various characters. Most of them aren't too difficult as you only have to win one time, but you can also purchase items (with in-game, in-mode currency) to make combat easier. You also gain levels that let you affect your stats in this mode, so you can crank your damage to rip through foes or give yourself more health to take more hits. The AI isn't too bright, so cranking your damage is a great investment.
This mode is not just straight fights, either. You'll have different hazards or effects in some of the rounds to keep things interesting. Having fire-breathing creatures flying around gives you something else to watch out for, but also gives you new opportunities if you time your uppercuts just right. It's a lot of fun to mess around with, and is also a good, easy source of character and player experience if you want to get some unlocks fast. You can also do fights over and over again, so if one seems particularly valuable and easy, you can do it repeatedly. Be sure to end with a Fatality for a lot of bonus experience!
There is, of course, a Story Mode as well. In it, you'll play through the events of a complex story involving much of the game's cast. The story itself isn't great, but getting a bit of experience with each character felt more valuable than playing World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 as you got experience with characters and not just with various moves. It's not terribly friendly to new players (you'll want to immediately open your character's move list each round, or to have practiced in advance in the training modes), but it's fun to connect to the characters throughout the extensive tale.
It was nice to have a long story mode to go though, as Mortal Kombat 1 is downright gorgeous and the customizable difficulty of Story Mode makes it easier to enjoy the view. The characters and locations are covered with striking details and color, making the game a treat to look at. I had been previously impressed looking at Street Fighter 6, but Mortal Kombat 1 really shows off what next-gen consoles are capable of. There's so much activity in the backgrounds of the levels and so much to see in the bright fields that I really enjoyed taking in some new detail each time I played a match.
The moves look really great as well. Sub-Zero's icy powers are wonderful to behold, leaving characters covered in icicles. Li Mei's lanterns give off a striking purple light as they drift through the air, ready to explode on your head. Liu Kang's feet alternate between blue and orange fire as he spin kicks you multiple times. Scorpion calls up whirling flames around you. It's nice to watch all of the moves in action with their vibrant uses of color, light, and detail. It feels better when your move is hitting someone else, sure, but they all look fantastic in action.
With that attention to detail comes some more gory Fatalities. Mortal Kombat 1 continues the proud, gross tradition of killing people in nasty ways, and with higher graphical fidelity comes further leaning into gross-out territory. Watching Mileena eat a brain is pretty stomach-churning on next-gen consoles, I'll admit. However, seeing Scorpion boot someone's skeleton out of their body is both funny and gross (just far less so). There's a great array of creative ways to kill your enemies, and with each character having several Fatalities and Brutalities that all look great, you can choose one that feels right to you. Still, if you get a bit queasy at some of these, I don't blame you. Still, it's a Mortal Kombat game, so I doubt you'll be surprised to know you can die horribly in this game.
The closest thing I have to a sticking point with this game is the return of Fatal Blows. These are those X-Ray attacks that you can use in a match to deal a ton of damage to your opponent in long-drawn out, slow-motion x-ray views of the bones and body parts you're tearing up. You can access them when you're low on health, and given the absurd damage most of them deal, you can turn a match around fast. However, both you and your Kameo will do a bone-breaking attack when these are used. With two people doing these ruthless strikes, the moves just take ages to finish. You're going to want to block these at all costs just because they take so long to wrap up. I like the comeback mechanic as it adds a ton of tension AND most players can access them easily if their timing is good. They just take so long to watch that I felt disengaged from the match and would have to get my mind back into it afterwards.
Mortal Kombat 1 looks incredible, has several fun play types depending on what you want to do, constantly rewards you for the time you spend on it, and offers so much customization to the combat through the Kameo system. While I might gripe about sitting through a Fatal Blow, I spend far more time just taking in the near-infinite possibilities that come from each character and Kameo combination. I feel like the ideas that come out of these systems are going to keep this game exciting for some time, and have made something that will be extremely rewarding for players to experiment with.
Fighting game fans are doing extremely well in 2023.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now on the Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

NetEase and Naked Rain revealed a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming open world RPG, Project Mugen. The game was previously announced in August 2023. While it does not yet have a release date, pre-registration is open now.
The trailer shows off several of the game's environments, including dockyards at sunset, clubscenes at night, and a brief glimpse of an ominous hallway full of grasping hands and smashed mirrors. The game's technical director also described how the team used procedural generation combined with handmade areas to build the large city environment quickly in the video.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the trailer is the traversal system in Project Mugen, which includes Spiderman-like web-swinging and wall-running alongside riding in vehicles, swimming, and climbing. Called the 3C system, Naked Rain promised in the footage that it will allow players to switch between different movement types, as shown when a character switches mid-swing into riding a summoned vehicle that boosts off after hitting the ground.
You can watch the full Project Mugen gameplay trailer from TGS 2023 below:
NetEase also publishes Naraka: Bladepoint, which got a Nier series crossover event back in August 2023. Project Mugen is one of several games being shown off at the company's booth at TGS 2023.
Project Mugen is currently without a release date, but is set come out on the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices.
