Headlines include Switch versions for Xenoblade Chronicles, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, and Divinity: Original Sin II, plus a release date for Game Freak’s Little Town Hero, a new demo for Daemon X Machina, and some more Pokémon Sword and Shield features.
It’s time for way too many people to get on a Skype call and debate the following. How much is Wheels is wrong? What decade will the Final Fantasy VII remake will come out? And most importantly, what did we do to deserve Metal Max Xeno and The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2?

Dramatic trailers like using slowed down versions of recognizable songs and Vampyr is no exception. But one would imagine a vampire wouldn’t have to fear the Reaper nearly as much.

Vampyr’s NPCs are aiming above and beyond what is normal for the folks who wander around the average RPG town. A new developer diary goes into more detail on the game’s people.
