During Tokyo Game Show 2020, Capcom showed off 41 minutes… Yes, 41 (!) minutes of gameplay for their latest entry into the long-running Monster Hunter Franchise, the Switch exclusive Monster Hunter Rise. Dual Blades and Longsword were shown, going through very impressive gameplay that culminates in a battle with a Tetranadon, one of the new monsters introduced for the game. While Monster Hunter Rise will function mostly the same as the previous games, one thing distinctly different will be the increased use of verticality in the game care of the new Wirebug feature, which allows for an extended range of movement that will give hunters new ways to explore or even slay their targets. The addition of the Wirebug will allow for more varied level design, even opening up new monster attack patterns due to the counterattacking benefits that the Wirebug possesses.

Capcom is looking into bringing Resident Evil Village to the PS4 and Xbox One but says that they will not make any promises. These statements come from the recent Capcom Special Program presentation for Tokyo Game Show 2020, with producer Tsuyoshi Kanda saying that “were looking into delivering the experience on Xbox One and PS4 as well. We’re looking into it, but we can’t make any promises.” You can view the program below, but the tidbit about the current-gen port starts at around the 17:40 mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDGRvDW5ikI As we know, Resident Evil Village was set to release exclusively for next-generation consoles exclusively, and it still is, at least for now. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One install base is huge, so it would make complete sense for Capcom to at least consider this, even with development implications. Resident Evil Village is scheduled for a 2021 release for the PlayStation 5,…

Update: False alarm. According to Gematsu, the co-host apparently just misunderstood the panel description, so while there may be new info, it may not be a new title per se. ———————————————————————————————————————————– Original: A new Yakuza game announcement will take place on September 27 during the Tokyo Game Show 2020, as reported by Gematsu. Co-host Ayana Tsubaki tweeted the announcement confirming the announcement but the tweet has been taken down since. The schedule of the reveal is set to take place at 8PM Japan Standard time, that’s 7PM Philippine time, so we don’t have to wake up during weird hours of the day to catch this announcement live on YouTube, Niconico, or Periscope. Between the live action Yakuza movie and the release of their latest installment Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there is quite the resurgence of interest in this series and this new title may just hype it up even more.

Update: Sega and Toshihiro Nagoshi have officially announced the Yakuza movie adaptation during the Tokyo Game Show 2020 stream. What was previously believed to be a new Yakuza Title reveal by co-host Ayana Tsubaki was now confirmed to be the movie instead. —————————————————————————————————————— Original: Yakuza fans will want to keep their eyes peeled for this one as Sega is coming up with a Yakuza Live Action movie in partnership with 1212 Entertainment and Wild Sheep Content. According to a report from Variety, Erik Barmack, Roberto Grande and Joshua Long will take care of production duties and the project is on the hunt for scriptwriters. Yakuza is a beloved franchise that manages to shine due to its wild gameplay and immersive storytelling, featuring Kazuma Kiryu and his adventures with the Japanese Yakuza. 1212 Entertainment is thrilled, saying that “Yakuza offers us a new playground in which to set compelling stories with…

Coming from an official announcement earlier this year, NieR Replicant is now scheduled to release on April 22, 2021 in Japan and April 23 worldwide for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
