New Release Round-Up (June 10, 2021)

Welcome to RPGamer’s new release round-up. In this column we look to provide our readers with details on all of the RPGs released over the week. Please note we do not currently include Early Access releases.

Chicory: A Colorful Tale

Chicory: A Colorful Tale is a top-down adventure where players restore colour to the world using a magical brush. Players can draw on all parts of the world and are able to collect and place decorative items and plants. It also features options to make action sequences slower and easier — or to be skipped entirely — and is designed to be accessible to colourblind players.

Edge of Eternity

JRPG-inspired title Edge of Eternity looks to combine turn-based and tactical combat, using an ATB-based combat system as well as a combat grid and environmental interactions. The game is set on the planet Heryon, which is plunged into a war between its inhabitants and invaders from space, and follows siblings Daryon and Selene as they look to find a cure for an affliction called the Corrosion. .

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an enhanced version of the PlayStation 4’s Final Fantasy VII Remake. In addition to graphical improvements and new features such as a photo mode, it includes a new Intermission story chapter that follows Wutai ninja Yuffie Kisaragi and her partner Sonon Kusakabe as they team up with Avalanche to infiltrate the Shinra corporation and steal a powerful Materia. Those who own the PlayStation 4 version will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version for free, but will have to purchase the additional story chapter separately.
