This week’s line-up of new releases closer resembles a typical week in October or November. We can only assume publishers hope any store credit acquired at Christmas hasn’t burnt a hole in digital wallets yet. That, or perhaps they believe everyone has…infinite wealth.
The biggest releases of the week, if not the entire month, are SEGA’s working holiday sim Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – set to offer an incredible amount of content – the long awaited Unreal Engine 5 powered Tekken 8, and Capcom’s Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy – which adds an art gallery, music player, and an animation studio with editing tools. We may see some daft courtroom recreations on social media in the coming days.
Fighting fans may also be interested in Arc System Work’s UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH II Sys:Celes, especially if they prefer duking it out in 2D.
Then there’s Qubyte’s sacrilegious horror Devil Inside Us: Roots of Evil, the Paper’s Please inspired Lil’ Guardsman, the Where’s Wally/Waldo? style adventure Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic, and an Arcade Archive’s re-release of the classic Rainbow Islands – now with different music. Turns out ‘Over the Rainbow’ isn’t in the public domain just yet.
The Adventures of Panzer: Legacy Collection, meanwhile, offers two modern NES games in one package.
We can also expect the licensed space shooter MACROSS Shooting Insight, mini Zelda III alike Saga of the Moon Priestess, a belated PS5 release of the EDGE 10/10 rated FMV adventure IMMORTALITY, the slick-looking zombie survival game Dead Man’s Diary (also on PS5,) and the colorful multiplayer battler Stumble Guys on Xbox. A wholly original concept, we’re sure.
