When Little Nightmares II launched in 2021, we praised its haunting atmosphere and clever puzzles. Now, two and a half years following the release of the last mainline entry, fans of the first two critically acclaimed games have something new to be excited for. Bandai Namco has announced that Until Dawn developer Supermassive Games is developing a new entry in the Little Nightmares universe. Not only that, but we got our first look at Little Nightmares III. Little Nightmares III gives players the story of Low and Alone, two children trapped within The Spiral, which is a cluster of disturbing places, and they need to work together to escape from a threat that is lurking in the shadows. Little Nightmares III is still playable as a single-player with a CPU-controlled partner, but you can also play with a friend in...

When it was announced in June, Persona 3 Reload finally answered the call that so many fans of the series had been putting out into the world. Following the disappointing release that was Persona 3 Portable on modern consoles earlier this year, Persona 3 Reload appears to be much more in line with what fans were clamoring for when asking for a modern version of the Persona franchise's turning point. The game is built from the ground up using Unreal Engine, offering a completely modernized take on the classic entry that first arrived in the West in 2007. Persona 3 originally served as the entry that introduced various mechanics that would go on to become series mainstays in subsequent entries, including the popular Social Links. Without Persona 3, more modern games like Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal would likely...

When Sonic Frontiers was released late last year, it was generally regarded as good but "rough around the edges." Because of that, it's been great to see Sega move to support the game further post-launch with a series of updates with free content. Teased today at Gamescom, the next pack of content, known as "The Final Horizon" update, is the most exciting yet, promising new story, new challenges, and even new playable characters. The teaser itself doesn't give us much to go on. Sonic and friends stand on the edge of a cliff, ready to face a massive Titan. Knuckles, Amy, and Tails are all candidates to be playable characters in the future, but there's no indication of that here – Sonic summons the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic, ready to face off against this mysterious threat, then powers...
