Re:ZERO fans will be happy to hear that Spike Chunsoft will be bringing Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne, a tactical game developed by Chime Corporation and currently set to be released in Japan in the winter, to the West sometime this winter as well for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC.
To go along with this the company announced that a special day one edition priced at $59.99 will include a copy of the game, four limited run original pins in a display box featuring Emilia, Subaru, Rem, and a yet to be revealed character as well as an $89.99 collector’s edition that will include the pins as well as a full color art book, a steelbook display case, and a soundtrack CD.
Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World: The Prophecy of the Throne is set one month after Subaru’s new life begins when an emissary sent by the royal castle suddenly appears with news that the royal selection has been postponed, but offers no reason as to why. The postponement of this grand event that decides the next ruler of the Kingdom of Lugunica stirs Subaru and his friends into action. They return to the royal capital only to find that a sixth candidate has claimed their stake for the throne. But the Dragon Stone prophesies that only five candidates would be chosen. With one candidate being an imposter, suspicions are immediately cast toward one woman in particular: Emilia. What answers lie beyond the mysterious web of assassinations, betrayal, and conspiracies?
In many ways fans of a certain type of RPG have come to expect only a certain number of starters available to them at the beginning of the game and it seems that Nexomon: Extinction is going to be breaking that mold as PQube and VEWO Interactive have detailed that there will be nine starter Nexomon available for players at the start when the game is released this summer on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC and have gone into a bit of detail for each.
Element: Fire Not for those who love to hug their Nexomon. Lume’s head, paws and tail are completely engulfed in flames.
Element: Normal Dinja features short legs, adorable big ears and a huge fluffy tail. Since they aren’t good runners, they prefer to move by hopping their way.
Element: Wind Mearns are not as friendly as they look. They are actually wild Nexomon that inhabit the prairies and mountain skirts. Their entangled tails can use wind to their advantage while hunting.
Element: Plant Maras are adorable and intelligent Nexomon who know how to use their charm in their favor during battles with tamers. Loves to be pet.
Element: Electric A very curious Nexomon with the ability to walk on any surface with its sticky feet. They love to hide and stay hidden from others for long periods of time.
Element: Ghost A ghost Nexomon that can be found in the darkness. They tend to detach their heads to scare their opponents.
Element: Water An amphibious flying Nexomon with heroic spirit. Its main characteristic is self-confidence and loyalty.
Element: Psychic People often confuse them as a ghost type Nexomon. Truth said, they are psychic Nexomon and have a somewhat obscure sense of humor.
Element: Mineral They are always eager to prove the durability of their horns, they love to do headbutting competitions.
A few months ago NIS America announced that they would be bringing the punishing Prinny 1: Can I Really Be the Hero? and Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! to the Nintendo Switch in an updated collection called Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded sometime this fall and now they have narrowed down that window to a set release date.
The company has announced that it will be releasing Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded on October 13th in North America and Oceania and on October 16th in Europe. To go along with this reveal the company released a new trailer that focuses on highlighting what players can expect from Prinny 1: Can I Really Be the Hero? where players are tasked with tracking down the ultimate dessert in an effort to please Master Etna.
Players take on the role of a shipbreaker disassembling derelict ships for parts. Using laser saws, grappling hooks, and other tools, players must cut out valuable ship parts for salvage. As the trailer shows, failure to be respectful of environmental hazards can be deadly. Players can be accidentally sucked into space, electrocuted, blown up, and more. Worse, these accidents can destroy the valuable parts the player needs to buy their freedom. Dying will only make the problem worse as clones will be provided to players for a hefty fee.
Hardspace: Shipbreaker will be out on Steam Early Access on June 16.
Fans of retro style action RPGs will soon have a new one to try out as Deck13 and Radical Fish have announced that CrossCode will be making its way to consoles on July 9th where it will be priced at $19.99 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. There will even be a physical release for CrossCode on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe though that will be releasing a bit later on August 28th.
CrossCode is said to offer thirty to eighty hours of gameplay with over a hundred and twenty enemy types to battle with thirty boss battles spread across a large world with seven unique areas and hidden secrets scattered everywhere. A new trailer for the game can be found below but it is worth noting that if you wish to play the game immediately, it is currently available on PC through Steam.

Additionally, Update 1.9.1’s release coincides with the launch of Season 2 of Battle Pass, which will see players blast through event Stages by earning Progression Points in Random Battles. Two top-tier tanks, the U.S. M48A5 Patton and the Czechoslovak TVP T 50/51, will be the stars of the show and will earn players more points. Awarded for completing Stage 45, this season’s main prizes are an exclusive 3D style and commander for one of these Tier X vehicles, chosen by the player.
Rewards will also include days of Premium Account, Credits, blueprint fragments, and two new types of Bounty Equipment.
“Battle Pass Season 1 finishes its three-month run tomorrow, and the community really appreciated the experience and rewards,” says Max Chuvalov, Publishing Director, World of Tanks. “We began gathering feedback as soon as the first season commenced so we’re able to seamlessly phase into the Season 2. We’re sure when it kicks off again in two days’ time, players will really like what they can get their hands on!”

Remembering nothing but his name, Adol Christin awakens to find himself in the town of Casnan—a bustling frontier village at the edge of an endless sea of trees and untamed wilderness. Bereft of past and purpose, he is left to wander the town until a mysterious information dealer named Duren who claims to know him joins Adol on a sudden mission to rid the local mine of monsters. This unexpected quest reawakens Adol’s instincts as an accomplished swordsman, and their exploits quickly attract the attention of Griselda, a Romun Army general stationed in the town. Impressed with their skills, she enlists the pair to assist in mapping the Great Forest of Celceta—a task many have attempted but from which none have ever returned alive. Far from the frontier’s edge, Adol and Duren must brave the dangers of Celceta while constantly keeping watch for any clues that may help Adol recover his lost memories.
