Atlus has announced that Persona 5 Royal, an updated version of the critically acclaimed RPG, will be available for the PS4 in western territories from Spring 2020. The announcement was made during the Atlus Art Show in LA, where Shigenori Soejima appeared on a panel to discuss his work as an artist on the Persona series and Catherine.
A short trailer shown after the panel ended with the confirmation of the release window. As of yet, it’s quite a broad window, but fans of the game eager to check out the new content being added for the Royal update will no doubt appreciate the news nonetheless.
Persona 5 Royal launches in Japan on October 31, 2019. For more on P5R, be sure to read (or watch) our analysis of the first full reveal trailer, breakdown of all the new information that followed, or details on the new playable character Kasumi Yoshizawa.
Atlus has also been rolling out teaser trailers in the lead-up to the release of Persona 5 Royal, the definitive version of the acclaimed RPG. It’s going to include a ton of content and significant overhauls to the story, much of which has been shown off in trailers and the “Morgana Report.” The latest teaser revealed new events around Ann Takamaki, and showcases how this new version is putting more emphasis on its cast.
It was supposed to be his greatest achievement.
When The Village arrived in theatres 15 years ago in the summer of 2004, M. Night Shyamalan was riding a singular wave of success. After three hit films in a row with The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs, Shyamalan was set to continue his hot streak with The Village, a brand new thriller about a 19th century settlement terrorized by monsters lurking in the woods. While it made a handsome profit at the box office, it was widely considered the director’s first failure, vilified for being short on scares and its supposedly unsatisfying final twist. Critics were confused. Audiences felt betrayed. Where was the thrilling horror film they were promised?
16 Podcasters, 300 audience members, 1 live band and 500 episodes. This is the IGN UK Podcast’s 500th episode live spectacular!
We roped in a whole host of voices from past and present to join us live at London’s famous 100 Club. With four panels of four, we talked about our favourite memories from the last ten years of podcasts. We also had not one, but three of our favourite Endless Search games with the amazing Code:Marla doing a live performance of jingle (yes, they did it 3 times!).
A great time was had by all, but mostly by us! Thank you so much to all the amazing people who traveled so far and helped make this event so special. Here’s to another 500 episodes!
While the Pokemon World Championships are a place for hundreds of players to compete across the globe for over $500,000 in prizes, it’s also known for offering an exclusive line of rare Pokemon merchandise that can only be purchased at this event. The merchandise is always themed after the city hosting the competition, so given this year it’s in Washington, D.C. the theme is all about museums. That’s why Pikachu, Piplup and the gang are decked out in explorer’s gear — so they can find rare artifacts and Fossil Pokemon bones and bring them back to be put on display.
Check out all of the DC-themed merch below along with the rest of the Pokemon Center wares by flipping through the slideshow gallery below.
Nintendo has announced the first details for Tetris 99‘s next Maximus Cup. The in-game competition kicks off next week, on August 23, and like last month’s Splatoon-themed event, it’ll be a collaboration with another major Nintendo Switch title, in this case Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
The sixth Maximus Cup will run in Europe until 8:59 AM CEST on August 27; North American details have not yet been confirmed, although these Maximus Cups are typically worldwide events. Like the aforementioned Splatoon crossover, this competition will be point-based; you’ll earn a number of points depending on how well you place each round, and if you can amass at least 100 by the time the competition ends, you’ll unlock an exclusive Fire Emblem: Three Houses theme in Tetris 99.
Tetris 99 is one of the exclusive perks you get with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. NSO members can download the game for free and play against 98 other players online in a battle royale-inspired competition to be the last one remaining. Nintendo recently released a paid Big Block DLC that can be purchased by all Switch owners and introduces two offline modes, but you’ll need to have an NSO subscription to take part in the game’s signature online mode.
NSO memberships run for US $4 / £3.49 / AU $6 for one month, US $8 / £7 / AU $12 for three months, and US $20 / £18 / AU $30 for one year. Nintendo also offers an annual Family Membership that costs US $35 / £31.49 / AU $55 and covers up to eight Nintendo Accounts across multiple Switch systems.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses, meanwhile, launched at the end of July and has proven to be a huge critical and commercial success. Not only did it receive a slate of positive reviews from critics, it was also the second best-selling game of July in the US and had the fastest first-month sales of any installment of the series in the region.
Nintendo is releasing several waves of DLC for Fire Emblem: Three Houses over the next few months, in addition to a free update that will add a new, more challenging difficulty setting. In the meantime, be sure to check out our spoiler-free essential tips and advice to help you get started in the game.
Respawn, the studio behind Apex Legends, is admitting fault in the rollout of cosmetics for the Iron Crown limited-time event, and trying to set things right. In a statement posted on the EA Blog, Respawn project lead Drew McCoy explains what went wrong and how the studio intends to fix it.
In short, the Iron Crown event offered several new cosmetics that could only be obtained through Apex Packs purchased with real money. You could obtain a couple packs through play, but to get the full collection–and a special heirloom axe that’s only purchasable if you earned all the other items first–you would have to spend over $150.
“With the Iron Crown event we missed the mark when we broke our promise by making Apex Packs the only way to get what many consider to be the coolest skins we’ve released,” McCoy said.
To address the issue, Respawn will be offering the twelve event-exclusive items into the store for 1,800 Apex Coins (roughly $18), the standard cost for a Legendary skin. That rollout will begin on August 20 and continue over the course of the week as more skins are added. The studio also promises that in future events, it will provide more ways to obtain items aside from Apex Packs. Previously the only way to obtain the skins was to buy Apex Packs for 700 Coins.
The blog goes on to state that Respawn recognizes it needs to be better at letting players know what to expect from its event structures. This event works differently than previous events like the Legendary Hunt, and McCoy says future events may be different still in other ways. He says this event has reminded the studio that it needs to be better at communicating what to expect from events as the studio tries new things.
“Our goal has not been to squeeze every last dime out of our players, and we have structured the game so that all players benefit from those who choose to spend money–events like Legendary Hunt or Iron Crown exist so that we can continue to invest in creating more free content for all players,” McCoy said. “This week has been a huge learning experience for us and we’re taking the lessons forward to continue bringing the best possible experience to all of you.”
The main draw of the Iron Crown event is the new limited-time Solos mode, which lets players compete just like the regular game while attempting to be the last single player standing. Apex Legends has been a team-based battle royale since launch, and Solos has been a heavily requested feature from the community. But like all Solos modes in traditional team-based games, some people have found to be forming alliances outside of the game and teaming up for a competitive advantage.

Microsoft’s 2015 Xbox One and PC racing game Forza Motorsport 6 and all of its DLC will be removed from digital storefronts on September 15, the company has announced. In a blog post, developer Turn 10 Studios announced that the racing game will enter its “End of Life” status on that day.
The game and its car packs and expansions will no longer be available to buy digitally after that date. Those who already bought the game and/or any of its DLC can continue to play it. Additionally, users can delete it from their hard drive and re-install at any point after the de-listing.
Forza 6 recently became free on Xbox One through Games With Gold, so now is a good time to pick up the racing game before it’s no longer available. On top of that, all of the game’s DLC has been put into one mega-bundle that you can buy for $5 USD.
Forza Motorsport 7 followed in 2017, but the franchise’s every-two-years release schedule that has been in place since the series debuted in 2005 appears to be ending as there is no new Forza Motorsport game announced for 2019. Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently spoke about giving first-party studios more time to ensure they deliver good quality games at launch, and this applies to Forza as well.
Another one of Microsoft’s studios, Playground, develops the Forza Horizon spin-off series. The most recent entry was 2018’s Forza Horizon 4. The game’s latest expansion was the Lego Speed Champions add-on that was released in June.
While there is no new Forza game lined up for 2019, rival franchise Need for Speed is coming out with a new title, Need for Speed Heat, in November.
