A 2002 Sega-developed PS1 obscurity released only in Japan has just gotten an English translation two decades later, and more than anything it serves as the gateway to an incredible selection of trivia about turn-of-the-century Japanese pop culture.
Early access for World of Warcraft: The War Within is live now for those who purchased the Epic Edition. As part of the launch push, Blizzard invited Wccftech and a couple of colleagues from other publications to a roundtable Q&A with Associate Art Director Tina Wang and Lead Encounter Designer Michael Nuthals, who answered a great many questions on art, raids, dungeons, and more pertaining to the tenth expansion pack for the acclaimed MMORPG (which is also about to celebrate its 20th anniversary).

Hungry as life sim players are for a game to take on The Sims, it's been a bit difficult to keep track of the details on each of the in-development competitors. Inzoi, hands down the prettiest of the bunch, showed off a new gameplay trailer at Gamescom Opening Night Live but it didn't feel like there was a lot to learn from that quick look. The more useful info is actually coming from content creators who Krafton partnered with this week to post sponsored videos sharing their play time with a build of the game.
Arc Raiders was revealed in 2021 as a free-to-play, third-person co-op shooter from the former Battlefield and Battlefront folks at new studio Embark. After multiple delays it has now evolved into a full-fat, premium model extraction shooter blending PvPvE and eyeing a 2025 release date.
