Following the reveal of Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon, Atlus has announced that they are working on a new numbered entry in the series. The title is currently simply being called Etrian Odyssey V and while a teaser trailer was released, and can be found below, there currently are no actual details about when the game will be released nor what platform it will be available for.
Judging on the series’ past of only being available on Nintendo handhelds, Etrian Odyssey V will likely be a 3DS title and for now you can check out the title’s official Japanese website here.
It has been revealed that Atlus and Spike Chunsoft are working together on a crossover title featuring Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon. While many people will be familiar with Etrian Odyssey, the Mystery Dungeon series is something of a roguelike and has seen success in the West with the Pokémon series.
Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon, as it is called, will be released on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on March 5th next year and it will feature not only numerous roguelike elements but also a number of characters from the Etrian Odyssey series. You can check out the debut trailer for Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon below.

It might go by quicker than Goku could circle the earth but Bandai Namco of Japan have put a TV spot out for Dragon Ball Xenoverse which gives us a very quick look at a few of the cutscenes from the game. We see Goku turning Super Saiyan for the first time, Super Saiyan 3 Goku delivering a massive punch to Majin Buu, Time Patrol Trunks running at someone with his sword, Ultimate Gohan and Super Buu exchanging blows and Vegeta offering Beerus a pudding. If this short ad is anything to go by we are going to have some pretty epic cutscenes in this game which will be great for the series as they are typically lackluster.
Hopefully we get a full trailer soon to reveal a few more characters and some story details but for now please enjoy the small clip below. Dragon Ball Xenoverse is coming to PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC in Japan on February 5th, Europe on February 13th and in North America on February 17th.

The title will be released in North America on January 27th where it can be purchased either at retail or through the PlayStation Store while gamers in Europe can choose to download the game on January 28th or wait until the retail release on January 30th.
It is also worth noting that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation will be compatible with the recently released PlayStation TV.

Recently Idea Factory International released the first English screenshots for Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart. The focus of these screenshots, which can be seen below, is on character dialogue and as you can see, a number of the newly introduced characters for this title are shown in these screenshots.
In case you can’t tell, all of the guest characters are homages to other franchises, including references to Dragon Quest, Metal Gear Solid, Agarest War, and more. Currently Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart is set to be released for the PS Vita in early 2015 where it will be available both at retail and through the PlayStation Store.
Warner Bros. Games has been very hush on news regarding it’s final installment in the Batman Arkham series but now they are starting to ramp up promotion for the game as it’s release date nears. Apart from showing some truly impressive graphics on what seems to be the PS4 build of the game, the new trailer focuses on the new Fear Takedown mechanic which seems to allow you to chain multiple take downs in predator environments, how the Batmobile integrates into combat seamlessly and also some combat which now seems like you can utilise the environment around you in take downs which is a great addition to the already acclaimed combat mechanics present in the Arkham series.
Part 1 of this three part trailer series also gives us some story details such as Scarecrow is the one using the chemical plant to gear up for his big attack on Gotham and that the games title enemy, the Arkham Knight will also be showing up at the plant. Warner Bros. has teased the next trailer reveal date and time for 9AM PST on the 1st of December. It seems like this next part will be available first at the games official website at www.batmanarkhamknight.com.
It’s hard not to be impressed with just how quickly you can switch between the Batmobile and Batman and just how destructive a force the Batmobile is, not to mention combat looks even more brutal and stylistic then it did in past games and the graphics speak for themselves. After initially being scheduled to launch this year, Batman: Arkham Knight arrives worldwide on PS4, Xbox One and PC on June 2nd, 2015 and a number of very cool collectors editions have been announced.
Aces Wild: Manic Brawling Action!– An aerial beat ’em up featuring a free form combat system that increases the difficulty of the game as your damage increases.
Bionic Heart 2– The sequel to the visual novel Bionic Heart, Bionic Heart 2 follows Tom, Luke and Helen after they escape to Mars and Tanya, who is still on Earth.
The Moon Sliver– Mix an exploration title with a little bit of horror and experimental storytelling, and you get the spine chilling yet beautiful The Moon Sliver.
Tail Drift– A fast paced racer featuring colourful planes. The Early Access title currently features 4 upgradable planes, 3 power ups, and 7 tracks.
Time Ramesside– Another Early Access game currently in alpha, an action-horror FPS starring Mark Faraoh after he wakes up in a prison without his memories. The world is now swarming with zombies, so it’s a good thing Mark has lots of guns and new magical abilities.
