  03-09-2026 18:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Persona 4 Revival has big boots to fill, especially for me. Persona 4 Golden is my favorite game in Atlus's JRPG series, so I've been eager – though somewhat anxious – to see what the devs have done with the bubbly murder-mystery remake. Thankfully, an hour-long hands-on session with it at Gamescom 2026 has me thinking I might have been worried over nothing.During my preview, I'm able to explore a handful of short sections from the opening hours of the JRPG, including some dungeon cr

  Mission difficulty levels in Star Wars Zero Company are more colourful than they are help, with different missions broken into the categories: Risky, Dangerous and Extreme. However, that's not particularly helpful when actually understanding what level of difficulty or challenge you can actually expect when going out, especially when they're not all presented in front of you. I'll explain what these terms mean and what you need to know about when you're picking out missions in Star Wars Zero Com

  As soon as I spot Minsc and Boo in Dungeons & Dragons: Long Rest Tavern's announcement trailer, I'm totally locked in. The new game from French developer Homo Ludens speaks to a lot of what I love about Tavern Keeper, only instead of feeling like a fly on the wall of the Elfsong Tavern, it's set directly in the tabletop RPG's universe.Should my bright young tavern owner be a tiefling warlock? Maybe a half-orc barbarian? I can take my pick of the core D&D classes and races to add a bit of

  Hal Jordan has been Earth's Green Lantern since 1986, which means he might have come into contact with a certain metahuman at some point. DC fans have been speculating that the superhero would likely have wanted to check out an alien spaceship crashing in Smallville, Kansas when Kal-El arrived after Krypton's fall.As is usually the case with the Man of Steel's backstory, he is then raised by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent.

  At the time of writing the only shelf piece GTA 6 will receive (other than a redunandant code-carrying case) is a limited edition DualSense controller. Announced as part of today's PlayStation State of Play, two DualSense controllers baring that 'VI' stamp will be unleashed alongside the game on November 19.

  Capacitors in Star Wars Zero Company are one of the rarest and most erratic items you can get, used for a very particular purpose: to obtain high level upgrades for your base and build new facilities. However, while all these base upgrades will need Capacitors, they themselves tend to show up somewhat sporadically, and there's no consistent method to obtain them. Instead, you'll be relying on a mixture of skill and luck, as laid out below.Where do you get Capacitors in Star Wars Zero Company?(Im

• Final Fantasy Resonance Is A Return To Classic Series Conventions While Also Evolving Square Enix’s HD-2D Style

  03-09-2026 16:15 via gamespot.com
  
  Given its rich legacy spanning almost four decades, it's something of a surprise that Square Enix has taken its time to give Final Fantasy an outing in HD-2D, the retro-modern aesthetic that clearly harks back to the pinnacle of pixel art from RPG classics of the 16-bit era, including Final Fantasy VI. But rather than introduce this visual style to the franchise with a brand-new title, Square Enix is using the HD-2D treatment to reimagine and preserve a now-defunct mobile game. Final Fantasy Res
