Now that we know that Square Enix is going to be releasing Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness in North America on June 28th and in Europe on July 1st for the PlayStation 4 the company has begun releasing English trailers to help promote the game and show off how the characters will sound with the English dub, though those who prefer the original Japanese voice actors will be able to choose that option as the game will be released with dual audio.

The videos released this time focus on showing off the battle system in Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness as well as introducing both Victor Oakville and Fiore Brunelli.

We have been hearing about The King of Fighters XIV for quite some time now as SNK Playmore has steadily been releasing little videos revealing fighters for the game’s fifty character roster but this marks the first time that we are hearing about the game from someone else. Atlus USA has announced that they will be publishing The King of Fighters XIV in North America and they plan on releasing the PlayStation 4 title sometime in 2016.

Alongside the massive roster of characters that are still being revealed various improvements to the game’s Combo and MAX Mode mechanics as well as the Rush feature have been made as well as simplified combo inputs for those unfamiliar with the series.

It looks like Compile Heart is working on a brand new Neptunia game and although it may sound like it might be ambitious for the company thanks to its name, it isn’t too far out of their standard wheelhouse. This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation has revealed Four Goddesses Online: Cyber Dimension Neptune which is not an online game but instead a fantasy action RPG that takes place in a new world.

Each of the goddesses that have so far been revealed have brand new fantasy costumes designed to fit their job class with Neptune being a Holy Knight, Noire as a Black Knight, Blanc as a Priest, and Vert as an Enchanter. Currently no platforms for Four Goddesses Online: Cyber Dimension Neptune have been announced nor has a release window been detailed though it will likely be released at the end of the year or beginning of the next.

Back in 2013 Gust announced that they were working on something a bit different for the PS Vita and that it would be an RPG called Chronos Materia. Since that time we have heard practically nothing about that game and rather than simply let it slide away into memories after the initial release date delay, the company has decided to officially announce, through this week’s issue of Famitsu, that they are no longer working on Chronos Materia.

The game was originally meant to be released in September 2013 but was delayed and never given a new release date or even mentioned by Koei Tecmo or Gust.

In a move that should surprise no one, Arc System Works has revealed, thanks to the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, that BlazBlue: Central Fiction will be heading to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Japan. With this reveal also comes information that a few new modes will be added into the game and that a brand new fighter, taken from the XBlaze series, named Es will be playable in the console release alongside the new characters Hibiki Kohaku, Naoto Kurogane, Nine the Phantom, and Hades Izanami.

The various modes that will be included in the home release are your standard features such as time attack mode, score attack, online battle, arcade fights, training mode, and of course the hefty story mode though apparently the company is going to be bringing a conclusion to the story of Ragna this time around.

Over a year ago we learned that Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertianment would be working on Titanfall 2 and would be releasing it on multiple platforms sometime in the future and now with some companies already preparing for E3, EA is back with a bit of news for the game.

The company has announced that they will be fully revealing Titanfall 2 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on June 12th, which is the same date as their E3 stage event, and a teaser trailer that you can check out below. Very little is shown in the video except for an unknown Titan type wielding a blade, meaning that the game may support melee weapons outside of fists.

Overwatch Beta Test Weekend April 16–17 AEST

Overwatch Beta Test Weekend April 16–17 AEST

From Saturday, April 16 at 2:00am AEST through to Sunday, April 17 at 2:00pm AEST, we’ll be hosting our second invitation-only Beta Test Weekend! For a limited time, we’ll be opening up the Overwatch beta test to a much larger number of players in the Americas (which includes Australia and New Zealand), as well as Europe, and Asia gameplay regions for another round of stress testing.

The objective: help us get the game, and our infrastructure, ready for release!

During the Beta Test Weekend, all players (including those currently in the Closed Beta) will have access to the full roster of 21 heroes and a limited selection of maps: Hanamura, Route 66, and Nepal. Certain features will also be unavailable during this Beta Test Weekend, such as Weekly Brawl! and Competitive Play. Since this is a stress test, we’re primarily interested in technical feedback, like how Overwatch runs on players’ systems, critical bug reports, and other game-impacting problems. One of our goals is to push our hardware to the limit, so players shouldn’t be surprised if they experience performance issues or run into unexpected downtime—that’s all part of the process.

To help us get the most out of this testing phase, we will be flagging accounts for the Beta Test Weekend on the morning of Friday, April 15, Australian Eastern Standard Time. Once flagged, we encourage all new recruits to download and install the beta game client so they are ready for action once the test officially begins. Those selected to participate in this Beta Test Weekend, will see an Install button appear in the Overwatch tab of the Battle.net desktop app as well as an Overwatch Beta licence in the YOUR GAME ACCOUNTS section of Battle.net Account Management. Players will also receive a Beta Test Weekend invitation via email to their registered address; however, please note that these messages can sometimes be slow to arrive.
