Everything You Need To Know For Week 3 Of Fortnite’s Absolute Doom Season

EVERSPACE 2: Titans Q&A – ROCKFISH Talks About the Upcoming DLC and More

EVERSPACE 2 developer ROCKFISH Games, being headquartered in Hamburg, couldn't very well pass up on the Cologne-based Gamescom, especially since they've got the Titans DLC coming up soon. Due to launch on September 16 across all platforms (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X) for a price tag of $15, this is the first story DLC for the space combat game that was fully released in 2023. I caught up with ROCKFISH Games CEO and Co-Founder Michael Schade and Communications Manager Lee Guille to learn more about EVERSPACE 2: Titans and to discuss various aspects of the industry, from their […]

Elden Ring Creator Would Like to Make a JRPG, But It Wouldn’t Be a Sequel to Enchanted Arms

Today, Elden Ring gets its first and only expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. As part of an interview with Rolling Stone, game director and FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki took the opportunity to discuss some other games he'd like to make in the future. Surprisingly, the Elden Ring creator would like to make a traditional JRPG. Long-time FromSoftware will certainly remember Enchanted Arms, the turn-based JRPG made by the studio and published by Ubisoft in 2006 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However, it doesn't sound like Miyazaki would be interested in a sequel, mainly because he doesn't believe in following […]

Summer Game Fest: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Hands-On Impressions

With a release date finally announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix has finally lifted the veil and shown off Dragon Quest III HD-2D for the first time in years in hopes of bringing the Erdrick trilogy to a new generation. While Square-Enix didn’t explicitly come out and say that they had plans for a trilogy during the hands-on preview, they noted that they wanted to start with Dragon Quest III chronologically as it was the first to come in the series. Nintendo spilled the beans during today's Nintendo Direct announcing the first two Dragon Quest titles also getting the HD-2D […]

Fantasian: Neo Dimension Announced For PC and Consoles

Fantasian: Neo Dimension is launching on PC and consoles later this year, Square Enix confirmed today. With a new trailer shared during today's Nintendo Direct, the PC and console port of the JRPG originally released as an Apple Arcade exclusive marks the first collaboration in years between the creator of the Final Fantasy series and Square Enix. While a release date has yet to be confirmed, it has been revealed that the game will launch during Winter 2024. The Father of FINAL FANTASY, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and renowned composer Nobuo Uematsu return to deliver an original RPG story. Embark on an […]

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Review – The Last Bow

While not as well known as those made by Japanese game creators such as Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yuji Horii, creators of the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, respectively, the contributions to the JRPG genre made by Yoshitaka Murayama with his Suikoden series cannot be understated. Leaving Konami shortly before the release of the third entry in the series in 2002, Murayama-san seemed to have left JRPG behind for good, only working on The Alliance Alive scenario, but somewhere along the way, his love for the genre must have sparked anew, as his studio Rabbit & Bear Studio revealed Eiyuden […]

Sand Land Hands-On Preview – Metal Max Xenoverse

Shortly after the untimely news of Akira Toriyama’s passing, Wccftech was invited to visit Bandai Namco’s California campus for one of the last hands-on opportunities before Sand Land’s launch next April. In a more in-depth experience than last year’s Summer Game Fest, we were invited out to freely explore the first couple of chapters of this open-world adventure. As the Prince of Demons and son of Lucifer, players take up the mantle of Beelzebub, a spunky little pink devil that’s not too far removed from the aliens of the week that pop up throughout Toriyama’s most famous of works, Dragon […]

I tried to jump back into JRPGs with FFVII Rebirth, and that was a big mistake

In search of lost basement time, in a semi-review of Square's semi-remake.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Hands-on Preview – The Calm Before Kalm

In less than four weeks, players will be able to play through the second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy on PlayStation. Rebirth does away with the PlayStation 4 release, something that players would have expected after Remake Intergrade and the introduction of Yuffie Kisaragi was exclusive to the latest Sony console generation. At the moment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth remains a PS5 console exclusive but certainly has the possibility of coming to PC by way of Epic Games Store and/or Steam in a matter of months. During our preview event, Square-Enix allowed us free reign to explore […]

Granblue Fantasy Relink Review – Exceeding Expectations

Granblue Fantasy Relink is one of those games that has caught my eye ever since it was announced many years ago. Unfortunately, this game encountered several hurdles throughout its development. It was originally a collaboration between Cygames and PlatinumGames, but over time, suffered multiple delays and even lost the latter company's support. At long last, we have borne witness to the product of Cygames' efforts. On a base level, I think this RPG is one of the best games I've played. However, it also turned out to be completely different from what I expected. While that's not entirely a bad […]

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Review – The End of Yakuza

For as many adventures that Kiryu and crew have gone on in the Like a Dragon/Yakuza franchise, a passport was never a part of Kiryu’s carry-on. It’s been nearly two decades of titles and this marks the first one that has left the Japanese borders, at least in-game. There’s a lot of new ground together, with the adventure expanding beyond Yokohama and Kamurocho to the beach resorts of Honolulu. The mystery of the subtitle to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be immediately apparent to players as they experience the narrative firsthand and isn’t just a shorthand for milking the […]

Granblue Fantasy: Relink Demo Coming Next Month to PlayStation Consoles, PC Left Out

During this year's Granblue Fest, Japanese game developer Cygames announced that a free demo of Granblue Fantasy: Relink would be released next month on PlayStation and PlayStation 5 ahead of the scheduled global release date of February 1st, 2024. Featured content includes a small chunk of the main story, eleven playable characters, and even playable online quests in cooperative multiplayer. Moreover, completing story and quest content will provide rewards for the full game. Unfortunately, it seems like PC users are left out of the possibility of going hands-on with this demo, at least for the time being. It's an unfortunate […]

Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes Hands-On Preview – First Steps Towards Greatness

Eiyuden Chronicle was first unveiled three and a half years ago, but players haven’t had many opportunities to get their hands on this fabled RPG. It was billed as a spiritual successor to Konami’s Suikoden series, the signature title from Rabbit & Bear Studios. To fill the void from the announcement until its inevitable release, Eiyuden Chronicle launched a spinoff action RPG known as Eiyuden Chronicle Rising to set the stage.  Part of the main draw to the Suikoden franchise lies in the number of recruitable characters, with the narrative itself billed around the 108 Stars of Destiny. Eiyuden Chronicle […]

Granblue Fantasy: Relink Q&A with Game Director Yasuyuki Kaji

Just over six years after the original announcement, Cygames is finally about to release Granblue Fantasy: Relink. This action RPG was originally meant to be a collaboration with PlatinumGames, but Cygames decided to split off around early 2019 and finish the game on their own, which led to a long delay. At long last, fans of the popular franchise will get the first RPG game on PC and consoles (after the fighting game Granblue Fantasy: Versus) in less than two months from now. Wccftech was recently invited to a press event featuring a near-final build of Granblue Fantasy: Relink; you […]

Tag: JRPG

Samsung has been reported on multiple occasions to introduce a design change with the Galaxy S25 Ultra launch, with the flagship said to feature rounded corners instead of sharp ones, resembling the company’s Galaxy Note 7. However, it is one thing to check out an artist’s impression of the smartphone and another to view an actual render, and we are happy to mention that an official image has come out, but there is a catch. The notable leakster responsible for showcasing the Galaxy S25 Ultra to his fans has blurred it out unless his financial target is met. Donation goal from […]
