Kotaku Tuesday, August 27, 2024 4:20 PM  Space Marine 2 is shaping up to quietly be one of the coolest games of 2024 and possibly the best Warhammer 40K game in some time. Ahead of its launch next month, developer Saber Interactive revealed a roadmap promising new weapons, maps, and more at no additional cost. |
Kotaku Tuesday, August 27, 2024 4:14 PM  Admittedly, I'm not the fighting game savant at this site, or even in my own circle of friends.

PCGamesN Tuesday, August 27, 2024 7:08 PM  Dune Awakening is not only exciting because of the massively-popular IP it's pulling from but because it is an incredibly ambitious newcomer into the survival game scene. Its MMO approach means there are a lot of systems and opportunities to play with and against other players. That's something we recently discussed with creative director Joel Bylos at Gamescom, who explained how Dune Awakening is aiming to make every element as co-op-friendly as possible, and how no matter how much time you can sink into the game, you won't get left behind.

Konami announced three pre-order bonuses for those who grab a digital copy of Suikoden I & II HD Remaster on social media. Two of them are early unlocks for pieces of equipment you'd normally get access to later in the game, while the other offers a head start with a substantial amount of in-game money.
Calling dibs on a digital copy gets you 57,300 potch as the first Suikoden I & II HD Remaster bonus. This is the money you'd use to buy Runes, equipment, or other items in games. This would normally be acquired at a standard pace while going through fights and the adventure.
The two pieces of equipment given as Suikoden I & II HD Remaster pre-order bonuses are the Fortune Orb and Prosperity Orb. Each one can be equipped on a character. The person who holds the Fortune Orb will get twice as much experience from every fight they participate in. Meanwhile, if the one with the Fortune Orb equipped is in a battle, you get twice as much potch currency from the fight.
Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 6, 2024.

Square Enix announced that the Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Switch exclusivity is about to end, with PC and mobile versions on the way. It will launch on the PC via Steam and head to Google Play and the App Store for Android and Apple iOS devices on September 11, 2024.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is a spin-off of the main series that makes Psaro, from Dragon Quest IV, the main character. We follow him and see events of that game from his perspective. He's also joined by other characters from that title, such as Rose, as he attempts to recruit monsters as a Monster Wrangler.
This will be a complete version of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. On the Switch, someone could pick between the base game or an $85.99 Digital Deluxe Edition. That added on the Coach Joe's Dungeon Gym, Mole Hole, and Treasure Trunks DLC, as well as the Burgundy Gothic Vestment, a Warrior's Ring, and 10 Beastie Bites for your monsters. All of these pieces of additional content will be included in the PC and mobile versions of the title.
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince is on the Nintendo Switch now, and the PC and mobile versions of the game will launch on September 11, 2024. A demo is available on the eShop.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has announced an upcoming price increase for the PS5 and its accessories, controllers, and peripherals in Japan, which will take effect on September 2, 2024. The adjustment is attributed to global economic challenges affecting the company's operations. The standard PlayStation 5 will now be priced at ¥79,980 (approximately $545 USD), and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition will cost ¥72,980 (around $495 USD) after the change.
Additionally, the price will increase for the PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless controllers, with models such as the Midnight Black and Cosmic Red now priced at ¥11,480 (approximately $78 USD) each, while special editions like Volcanic Red and Sterling Silver will retail for ¥11,980 (about $82 USD). Other accessories, including the PlayStation Portal Remote Player and the PlayStation VR2, are also affected. The PlayStation VR2 is now set to cost ¥89,980 (roughly $615 USD), and the bundle including Horizon: Call of the Mountain will be priced at ¥94,980 (around $650 USD).
This comes after price increases for Sony's subscription services on the console worldwide. PlayStation Plus offers three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. The Extra tier provides access to a broad selection of games, and the Premium tier includes additional features like classic titles. Monthly subscription rates are now $9.99 for Essential, $14.99 for Extra, and $17.99 for Premium, following an increase in September 2023.
These new PS5, controller, and peripheral price increases will go into effect in Japan starting on September 2, 2024.

Square Enix announced that Foamstars, currently available on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will transition to a free-to-play model beginning on October 4, 2024. This price change marks a significant shift from the game's previous regional pricing strategy and is designed to make the game accessible to a broader audience.
Notably, after the transition, players will no longer need a PlayStation Plus subscription to access the game. This means anyone will be able to download and play Foamstars for free.
For those who have already purchased and downloaded Foamstars before the switch, Square Enix is offering a "Legacy Gift." This package includes 12 exclusive color-variant Bubble Beastie skins, an exclusive Slide Board design, and a special title called "Legacy."
Since its launch, Square Enix updated Foamstars with season passes and additional characters. For example, a new season will start on August 30, 2024. That will bring with it an additional playable character. Ahead of its launch, Square Enix shared a song that will show up alongside the update called "Golden Beats."
The price change is set to take effect on October 4, 2024. Square Enix advises players to confirm that the price has been updated before downloading the game, to ensure they receive it for free.
Foamstars is available for the PS4 and PS5.

Crunchyroll announced it isn't splitting with the Bananya anime, as season 3 is heading to the streaming service. People will be able to watch Bananya Around the World starting in October 2024 via the provider.
This latest run comes about eight years after the first season and five years after the second. So far, there's no exact release date for the first episode of season 3 of Bananya, but we do know the regions where it will be available. Crunchyroll has worldwide rights for places like North and South America, Europe, and Oceania. However, the only regions in Asia its scope covers will be the Indian Subcontinent. It will also be a simulcast series, though the number of total episodes for the run weren't confirmed. Yuuki Kaji will also return as the main character, with Ayumi Murase debuting as Baby Sweet.
Here's the first trailer for Bananya season 3. It features the two new leads, as well as hints at how this time the focus will be on visiting different locations.
As a reminder, the first and second seasons of the Bananya anime each consisted of 13 episodes. These tended to be two to three minutes long.
Bananya Around the World will air on Crunchyroll in October 2024.

The Boston Red Sox One Piece Night is August 28, 2024, and Toei Animation again teased the Luffy bobblehead some attendees will get and activities everyone at the game can enjoy. As a reminder, the bobble head of the character in the team jersey is only available to those who bought their ticket from the special promotional page.
The concept art mock-up for the Luffy bobblehead features him in his trademark straw hat. He also has a yellow belt and his sandals on. However, his shirt is a red Boston Red Sox jersey, rather than one of his typical ones. He's also holding a baseball bat in his right hand, and the base shows him stepping onto home base.
Here's how that design might end up looking:
Ahead of the game against the Toronto Blue Jays, a tentative schedule was shared. Things will kick off at 4:40, about three hours head of the game. The Sam Adams Deck at Fenway Park will host a cosplay gathering until 6:40pm. In addition, people can try out the One Piece Card Game at the Big Concourse until 8pm ET. The game itself is expected to start at 7:10pm ET.
This is the second year in a row there's been a collaboration event between a US sports team and One Piece. In December 2023, the Los Angeles Rams had a game day honoring the series. There was imagery around the stadium, music appeared, and people could get special items like a bag.
The Boston Red Sox One Piece Night with Luffy bobblehead will be held on August 28, 2024. The anime is on both Netflix and Crunchyroll. Viz Media handles the manga outside of Japan. The first season of the One Piece live-action adaptation is on Netflix now, with season 2 on the way.

After events in Final Fantasy XIV, Square Enix will sometimes add rewards from them to the official store a year later when the activity returns to the game. That just happened with The Rising 2023 Phoenix and its whistle, which debuted in the FFXIV Online Store as the Reborn Phoenix mount.
The Reborn Phoenix mount costs $12 in the FFXIV Online Store. It nets you the Rising Phoenix Whistle, which summons the bird for your avatar to ride. It is identical to the one we could earn for free in August 2023. This is a single character item, and someone can use it once you gain the ability to ride a Chocobo in-game. There is also a fiery mount action tied to it.
Here's how the Reborn Phoenix looks:
This Rising Phoenix Whistle tied to the Reborn Phoenix mount is one of multiple former The Rising items now available in the FFXIV Online Store. Here's the list of the other items you can buy now:
You can also get an A Realm Reborn Poster Set or Heavensward Poster Set for $12.50 each.
Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and The Rising 2024 is available until September 11, 2024.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival will no longer be exclusive to Nintendo Switch. Bandai Namco has announced that it will release the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of Rhythm Festival on November 7, 2024.
Most of the new platform releases will only be available for purchase digitally. The PC version will be available via Steam and Xbox Games Store. However, Bandai Namco has so far confirmed that it will release physical copies of the PS5 version in Japan.

People can immediately check how the game's frame rate looks like, as Bandai Namco has released a demo version on each platform.

The original Switch version featured tracks from Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Kirby Star Allies. Bandai Namco will replace the aforementioned tracks with a Monster Hunter: World medley, "Dr. Wily Stage 1" from Mega Man 2, and "Last Surprise" from Persona 5.
In addition to the subscription-based Taiko Music Pass, Bandai Namco will also sell a Song Collection Set DLC that adds numerous existing songs for the new platform releases. The Anime Song Collection will include "I'm Invincible" and "New Genesis" from One Piece Film Red, as well as Haruhi Suzumiya's "God Knows..." The DLC will also contain a Pop Collection that includes the xxxHOLiC movie theme song "Habit" and a Vocaloid Song Collection that contains "Luka Luka Night Fever" among others.
