Earlier today Tales of Zestiria was announced by Namco Bandai but at the time of the announcement the game was only announced for Japan. While most Tales games are released overseas, not every title makes it to the West so many people were a bit concerned about Zestiria’s status. Thankfully Namco Bandai has announced today that Zestiria will be released in North America, South America, Europe, and other PAL regions.
We covered some of the announcements for the game last night, and you can read those details and check out the trailer here. As for additional information, it appears that the dragon in the logo may either be an enemy or an eventual ally while the battle system of the game will be an evolution of the Linear Motion Battle system, but no additional details were given beyond that.
You might have thought that the headline up there was a joke, and in a way I do too but unfortunately it just so happens to be real. Today Activision has released DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts which changes the skin of the multiplayer dog into a wolf.
The DLC costs $1.99 and it is currently a timed exclusive on the Xbox consoles so if you want to pick that up, then now you can. As mentioned before, this only changes the Guard Dog killstreak in the multiplayer mode and not the skin of Riley in the single player campaign.
Earlier this year Namco Bandai presented fans at San Diego Comic-Con with a number of concept art pieces for various Tekken characters. Fans then voted on who would be the next character to be added into the game and they chose the female vampire named Eliza.
As such, Eliza has now been fully developed and is currently set to be released exclusively on the free to playTekken Revolution later this month when the December update is released. Until then, you can check her out in action for the first time in the trailer below where we see that she has a number of long distance moves, a vampire bite grapple, and what appears to be a bust that grows throughout the fight.
Back when Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 started off, gamers only saw the aftermath of the battle where the Goddesses were defeated and captured by CFW Magic. However it seems that this time around, with the Vita remake of the game we will see exactly what happened in that battle.
Today Compile Heart released a new trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2: Sister’s Generation which shows how the goddesses were over matched by their new opponent and Nepgear sitting helpless. Currently Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 is set to be released in Japan on March 20th while NIS America has currently not announced any plans for the game in the West.
Action adventure title Secrets of Raetikon will be available on Steam through the Steam Early Access program on January 7th, 2014. The game is inspired by a dream world one of the developers had about flying. Players will take control of a bird in the Alps as they soar through the mountains while solving the mystery of an ancient civilization. The world is filled of dangerous animals like foxes that seek to kill our hero. Currently, the game is in alpha testing, with most of the campaign and the level editor in a playable state.
The game can be pre-ordered from the official website for $10.00. All pre-orders and those who backed the IndieGoGo campaign will receive a Steam key when the game enters Early Access. The full game is slated for a Q1 2014 release.
Fans of The Sims rejoice because we’ve just caught wind of the fact that Electronic Arts (EA) and Maxis have announced the release of the next big digital world to be available in The Sims 3 Store; Roaring Heights. This brand-new location will take players into the center of a bustling, sea-side city where their Sims will be able to experience a metropolis lifestyle like no other.
This “expansion” will add a great deal of content onto the already extensive Sims 3 title, content like; new locations, new clothing and accessories to give to your Sims, brand-new objects to interact with and even something called the Fixer-Upper Car which serves as a hobby for your Sims, they will constantly work on a classic vehicle throughout the game until they’ve restored it to pristine conditions. Once it is finally finished your Sims can take it out for a spin on the big city streets or admire it from the inside of their garage, it’s entirely up to you.
Between its breathtaking architecture and vibrant beachside scenes, Roaring Heights is already being built up to be an incredible and highly-enjoyable expansion to The Sims 3 game that will have fans occupied for hours and hours on end. The add-on is now available on both the PC and Mac and can be purchased by heading to their official website which you can get to by clicking here.
For those of yo out there who are more “hardcore” fans of the game there is a Gold Bundle package of the add-on that gives you not only the game but an extra 1,900 SimPoints which can be used to for the in-game purchase of The Boardwalk Venue, a place that players can go to design their own amusement park and have their Sims go for some wild rides. Now remember, before you rush off to buy Roaring Heights, The Sims 3 standard game is needed to be able to run this software so if you don’t have the game already, that’s probably a good place to start.
Back in September XSEED Games announced that they were currently working to bring the long-awaited The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter to the PSP and PC sometime in 2014.

While the first DLC for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was just released this week, that doesn’t mean they will be too staggered out as the release date for the upcoming single player DLC “Freedom Cry” has just been revealed today. Just how much longer will Ubisoft make us wait to see the solo adventures of Adewale? A little less than a week.
Yes, the “Freedom Cry” DLC is set to release next week, so fans can take a short little break from the multiplayer and jump right back into the single player with more things to do. Find out just what is in store for Adewale after reaching the lofty heights of Assassin for himself, but shipwrecked onto Saint-Domingue in nine brand new missions.
From the screenshots that Ubisoft has released, Adewale seems to be similarly equipped to Edward Kenway, though with a few more bigger and brutal weapons, such as the Machete and what looks like a blunderbuss on his back. Just what has transpired in the fifteen years hence the main game?
Those wanting to get “Freedom Cry”, or already have it thanks to the Season Pass, can look for it on December 17th for Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC, while those on PS3 and PS4 will be able to get it on December 18th. Until then, why not go back to running around in multiplayer as Blackbeard?
