Tango Gameworks delays its upcoming PlayStation 5 console exclusive game Ghostwire: Tokyo so that it will no longer release this year.
A new update for Fortnite Season 7 adds a new item that players can use to evade opponents and UFOs --here's how to get an Inflate-A-Bull.
Some fans want Red Dead Redemption 3 to star Sadie or Jack, but Hosea Matthews might be the best character to take the series' themes further.

If you're hurting for some new Persona news, it looks like you're in luck. Atlus recently launched a website specifically for Persona's 25th anniversary, and it shows off a plethora of new art showcasing various key characters from the franchise's history. More than that, the studio behind the beloved series is teasing that more news is "coming soon."

The images shared house clues as to what's on the way, including the first image shown that hints that at least one of the reveals is on the way for this September. Another image suggests that a separate project will be revealed all the way in Autumn of next year, which means we'll have a steady stream of Persona news for the foreseeable future. But the important thing is that there are seven blacked-out images with the words "coming soon," which means a lot more Persona on the way. 

Additionally, Atlusalso offers pre-orders for Persona merch, which is more than perfect for me because their plushies are to die for. Not literally, but they are really stinkin' cute. 

The website update is basically Schrodinger's Atlus: it both teases a lot and teases barely anything at all. But that's OK because we know more Persona news is coming down the pipeline, and given how much love this franchise has behind it, any news is good news. Whatever surprises Atlus has up its proverbial sleeve, we'll get a glimpse as the company celebrates Persona's 25th anniversary on September 20, 2021. 

So what's getting revealed? Are we getting seven new games? Probably not, but sources say that at least one of the teased projects includes a mobile game from Perfect World that will pull from Persona 5's universe. More merch, more games, and other surprises are on the way, which begs the question: what do you want to see next out of Atlus regarding Persona? If you could craft your perfect Persona game, what would it look like? Any returning favorites in your vision? Shout out those thoughts loud and proud in the comment section below!

Ghostwire: Tokyo Delayed To 2022

Written by

Originally slated to release later this year, Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks have announced that their upcoming action-adventure game meant for PlayStation 5 and PC, Ghostwire: Tokyo, has been delayed to early 2022. 

The studio took to the game's Twitter account to share a message with fans in the community, saying that the team has made the decision to push back release until sometime early 2022. "We want to get the game in your hands as soon as possible," begins the statement, "so you can experience the unforgettable version of a haunted Tokyo that we've been hard at work building. At the same time, we're also focused on protecting the health of everyone at Tango. Our new release window will give us time to bring the world of Ghostwire to life as we've always envisioned."

Tango Gameworks ended their message, saying: "Thank you for being patient as we work to bring you an experience unlike anything else we've ever made. We can't wait to show you more in the coming months."

With Ghostwire being a PlayStation and PC game, many have been wondering if it will only be a timed exclusive with the acquisition of Bethesda from Xbox. Microsoft has publicly stated that exclusivity will be handled on a "case-by-case" basis and that it will honor prior exclusivity deals. With Deathloop being moved to a timed exclusive, it's a possibility that Ghostwire could expand beyond those platforms in the future; Tango Gameworks has not revealed any sort of plans along those lines as of yet. 

Regarding the delay, we've been seeing more and more news like this over the past year. Though the most contributing factor is COVID-19, it's refreshing to see this decision being made more openly and without backlash, as it has been met with in the past. By making delays more accepted (the discussion of too early announcements is a whole other conversation), teams can make the adventures they want to make without being buried under stressful working conditions. This also bodes well for the quality of day one launch titles, especially when reflecting on the missteps of Cyberpunk 2077

For now, we know that Ghostwire: Tokyo is coming sometime in early 2022 and that the team will have more to show off about the game in the "coming months."


What are your thoughts on how the perception of delays is evolving? Excited to learn more about Ghostwire: Tokyo? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below, dear reader; we'd love to hear what you think! 

Cookbooks just come with video game territory. Earlier this year, a Tomb Raider cookbook was announced during March’s Square Enix Presents showcase. It’s safe to assume that Lara Croft’s meal plans are little more than sustenance, seeing as how she’s always scraping by in the harsh wildernesses of the world. However, this Final Fantasy XIV cookbook that was discovered yesterday might be able to satiate your hunger with over 70 luxurious, exotic recipes inspired by Eorzea’s numerous cultures.

Twitter user Wario64 did some digging through Amazon’s database and found a licensed video game hardcover cookbook available for preorder at $35. After further inspection, the book turned out to be a new Final Fantasy XIV text that fans can add to their already growing collection of trinkets and collectibles. You can parse through Wario64’s Twitter thread above. The About section on the Simon & Schuster digital catalog web page – according to the screenshot included in the Tweets because the paragraph(s) has since been taken down from the site – reads as follows:

“Journey through the rich culinary landscape of Final Fantasy XIV Online. Featuring favorite flavors from across Hydaelyn and Norvrandt and easy-to-follow instructions, this tome provides numerous tips on making the most of your ingredients. Start your day with Farmer’s Breakfast, a very famous and simple-yet-delightful dish; savor the Knight’s Bread of Coerthas; dive into La Noscea’s Rolanberry Cheesecake, and many more.” 

According to the Amazon image that Wario64 uploaded, The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook releases on November 9th. Seeing as there’s been a massive surge in Final Fantasy XIV Online’s player base, now might be the perfect time to create your own avatar and take to the vast biomes of Eorzea. However, you might run into some technical difficulties because this rise in popularity has created a shortage of digital copies of the game
