Remember a few months ago when the debut trailer for Tales of Symphonia Chronicles was released by Namco Bandai in Japan? Well today it looks like Namco Bandai in the West has gotten around to adding some subtitles to the trailer and have re-released it.
Besides adding subtitles, the Japanese background music has also been removed, though this does give gamers a chance to hear the game’s Japanese voice work once again. Anyways, the trailer, which is called ‘Return to Symphonia’ can be seen below and the game itself is set to be released in the West sometime early next year.
Today Idea Factory has announced that they are currently working on a PlayStation Vita RPG that is set to be released sometime in 2014 by Compile Heart. Unfortunately outside of that, the company only provided a few minor details, one of which is that Masahiro Yamamoto is in charge of the game.
Masahiro Yamamoto was the director for Disgaea 4, the review of which can be found here. Currently it is unknown exactly what the story will be or what type of RPG the game will be nor was any timeline provided for future updates but the above teaser image was provided alongside the RPG’s announcement.

This was also confirmed today when the company announced their January 2014 release plans which consist of a number of releases, with Uta no Prince Sama 1000% Season 1, Patlabor TV Collection 4, Taisho Baseball Girls, Casshan Complete, and Medaka Box Abnormal, joining Maria Holic for release that month.
Nintendo has just announced some more details pertaining to the Australian/New Zealand release of Bravely Default. While, it had been confirmed that the West would be receiving enhanced edition of the game that was released later in Japan, it is now definite that this will hold true to those southern hemisphere RPG fans.
The additions that Bravely Default will be seeing from its original release from publisher Square Enix and developer Silicon Studio, will include animated conversations, revamped user-interface for easier use, and a wider variety of difficulty options. The difficulty choices players will have will add 3 new difficulty levels, plus allow players to have more control over the rate of enemy encounters. Plus, players will be able to choose between the original Japanese and English dub dialogue tracks.
Overall, some nice additions that players will be able to get their hands on when Bravely Default releases before the end of this year for 3DS. To see more of the game, be sure to check out the new screenshots in the gallery below.

Batman: Arkham Origins producer Guillaume Voghel has revealed tantalising details about the next Batman game in an interview with Eurogamer. In addition to an extra difficulty mode, the game will also feature an “I Am The Night” difficulty level in which players will only have one life and will not be able to save the game.
The mode will only be unlocked after completing the game and the “really difficult” New Game Plus, so even getting the chance to fail miserably will take a considerable amount of dedication!
Voghel also spoke about the Inititation DLC, revealing that Arkham Origins will mark the first game in the series to feature a locale other than Gotham City. An Asian monastery will feature heavily in the additional content, which is said to add a decent chunk of backstory to Batman’s origin story. It is the second chunk of DLC to be announced for the game, after the PlayStation 3 exclusive content Knightfall.
Batman: Arkham Origins will be released on October 25.
