To celebrate Persona 3 Reload’s success, which has now passed 22 million copies sold, Atlus has turned back the clock and released a special trailer, which is almost a shot-for-shot recreation of the Persona 3 «Promise» trailer.
Like some kind of evil Victorian capitalist attempting to make up for a lifetime of exploitation, EA appears to have unexpectedly slashed the prices on some truly excellent RTS games immediately after making headlines for, ah, laying off 5% of its workforce. Every little helps?
Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is due for release in June and, alongside the recent trailer for what the developer says will be its biggest expansion yet, FromSoftware CEO and creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki went on the interview circuit. By far the most intriguing thing he said (well to me at least) was that, despite players poring over every inch of the Lands Between since launch, there remained «a small element that I feel has not yet been discovered.»
City builders keep on getting bigger, not just by stretching into other genres like survival, puzzle, and strategy, but by expanding into broader game systems than just city planning, building, and management. Frostpunk's expeditions take you away from the city to explore the map for resources and narrative events, Cities: Skylines 2 lets you trade materials, products, and even water and electricity with other regions, and in The Wandering Village, your entire city literally walks across the world ('cuz it's built on a dinosaur's back).

Oregon's state House has just passed by a 42 to 13 margin powerful right to repair legislation that ensures customers can get their stuff fixed anywhere. Once enshrined into state law, which now only requires the signature of the state governor, it will also put limits on parts pairing for all products manufactured from 2025 onwards, which will make it even easier to replace broken parts on haywire electronics without the manufacturer's official consent.
Helldivers 2's getting mechs—we've known that for a while, thanks to a launch trailer teasing them and some leaked mechs cropping up in suspect games. As announced on the official Helldivers 2 Twitter account, they'll be coming sooner rather than later.
