Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will be coming to PS5 in just a few months, and Square Enix has released a new, expanded version of its previous announcement video showing off the visual enhancements as well as the new features like a customizable photo mode.

The biggest immediate improvement you can see is the lighting, which adds a sense of life to scenes that–while still impressive on PS4–didn’t give characters’ faces or the environment the same subtle shadows. It also allows you to better see the details on the models, such as Barret’s forehead wrinkles. When walking in the slums of Midgar, the light seems to leak through from a space in the metal structure above, making the world beyond seem much more inviting.

Textures have received a makeover that also benefits from the lighting, but beyond that, they also show much more detail. It was an area the original PS4 game could sometimes fall flat–literally–with main characters’ super-detailed models standing next to pretty primitive walls and doors.

Depending on your display and the gameplay experience you want, you can choose between a few different optimization modes, too. These include a performance mode for 60fps action, as well as a graphics mode that prioritizes 4K resolution. With a photo mode includes that can be customized to take the ideal action shot, we suspect players will be sharing some very impressive pictures online.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade launches for PS5 on June 10, and it’s a free digital upgrade for those who own the PS4 version, though not those who claimed it on PS Plus. The new Yuffie-centric episode also gives those who already beat the game a reason to play it again. You can preorder the game now, including its deluxe edition for bonus content. Another Final Fantasy 7 game, called Ever Crisis, is also coming to mobile devices and retells the entire saga, while The First Soldier is a battle royale game. Yes, really.

It seems that Mario Day has struck again, as this weekend brings a slew of Nintendo Switch related deals. Several Mario games are on sale, as well as a great JoyCon alternative controller. The Nintendo Switch Lite can still be grabbed at a discount, although that deal is expected to end today so if you’re on the fence, make sure to grab it while you can.

Fall Guys is adding more than just new costumes and stages for the start of Season 4; it’s also introducing Squads mode, and the new team-based option will let even the clumsiest players stay in the game if their teammates are able to keep it together.

Speaking to IGN, lead game designer Joe Walsh (far cooler than the Eagles lead guitarist), said that if one player is eliminated during a round, they’ll still be able to come back if their teammates perform well enough. It isn’t necessarily about just dying first, but scoring the lowest as a team. A points system will determine who did the worst, which should also make it so being simply the best player doesn’t necessarily mean your team will be the best.

You’ll also be more encouraged to sabotage other players, especially if you have more people left as you’re approaching the finish in a Final Round. Two players can sacrifice themselves to knock out the other team while the remaining player cruises to victory, for instance.

Of course, there are still zany new costumes that let you customize your little bean-shaped contestant, too. Fall Guys is paying tribute to another surprise hit, Among Us, with its own themed costumes in Season 4. The game should continue getting extensive support, as well, as Mediatonic was purchased by Epic Games. Currently available on PS4 and PC, Fall Guys will also be coming to Xbox and Nintendo Switch this summer. Given Epic Games’ commitment to cross-play, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Fall Guys support play between the systems sooner rather than later.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s first expansion – Wrath of the Druids – will be released on April 29, 2021 and will send Eivor “through the haunted beauty of Ireland as you gain the favor of Gaelic kings and confront the druidic cult, the Children of Danu.”

This expansion is part of Valhalla’s post-launch support, which was revealed prior to the game’s launch in 2020. Following Wrath of the Druids in Summer 2021, the Siege of Paris will let players relive the “most ambitious battle in Viking history” as they infiltrate the fortified city of Paris.

Wrath of the Druids release date was revealed with details of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Ostara Season that began with the Ostara Festival on March 18. This festival will run through April 8 and allows players to “experience a wholesome time hunting eggs, or share in the festivities with archery, drinking, and brawling.”

When night falls, Eivor must protect the Raven Clan from spirits who are running wild through the forest and causing chaos.

Ubisoft is also gifting players a Godly Reward, which is an outfit inspired by Assassin’s Creed’s Altair. Furthermore, the Yule Gear Set and cosmetics will be given for free alongside 300 opals. All players need to do to claim these gifts is go to the Animus store.

Transmogrification has also been added to AC: Valhalla and will allow players to change the appearance of Eivor’s gear with visual customization. If you like the way a piece of gear looks, you can modify another piece of gear in the same category to look like it for 50 silver at the Blacksmith. This is useful if you love how something looks but find better gear in the wild.

Three new skills have also been added, and they are as follows;

• Fearless Leaper – This skill thrusts Eivor upwards before landing a mastered falling attack atop enemies
• Raven’s Loot and Loot Food – Increase Eivor’s efficiency when at range of on the prowl, giving you more time to stay on the move

It’s also important to note that Ubisoft has had to deploy a server-side hotfix to address a rise in game crashing near Ravensthorpe. To ensure stability, Settlement decorations will be temporarily removed and Ostara Festival quests involving decorations will not be completable.
