Bandai Namco announced this week that they’re planning a remastered version of Tales of Eternia for release in 2026. Originally launched in Japan for PlayStation in 2000, it came to North America in 2001. While the game was also released on PSP in 2005 and 2006, that version wasn’t available in the US. Now, Bandai Namco is revisiting this classic RPG to give it a modern overhaul with several improvements.
As a lot of new anime shows are coming out, Crunchyroll will definitely be streaming many of them – it’s the most popular platform for anime fans. But Crunchyroll isn’t alone; Netflix and Amazon Prime Video also offer plenty of anime. However, HIDIVE is the only major service focused only on anime. It built a reputation by offering shows you couldn’t find anywhere else, but recently lost some of those exclusive titles. Now, HIDIVE will be streaming The World Is Dancing, which has stunning animation and an interesting story. This new series could help HIDIVE become known for unique content again.
Many things helped make the Marvel Cinematic Universe so successful, but Kevin Feige’s leadership is often considered the most important reason. He became such a key part of the MCU that when Warner Bros. was starting its DC films, they even tried to hire him away from Disney.
Okay, so this is pretty cool! Apparently, there was a glitch on the PlayStation Network, and a bunch of PS5 and PS5 Pro owners – including me, thankfully! – accidentally got a free copy of Marathon, Bungie’s new shooter. Bungie, as you probably know, made the original Halo games and Destiny, so it’s a big deal! It normally costs $40, and it’s not even a freebie with PS Plus yet, so getting it for free was a sweet surprise. The glitch is fixed now, so you can’t get it that way anymore. Usually when stuff like this happens, PlayStation takes those free downloads away, but this time they’re letting us keep them! It’s awesome to see they’re letting players enjoy the game.
Next week sees the release of several major titles, with Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales expected to be the biggest. EA Sports UFC 6 is also anticipated to be very popular.
If you didn’t realize what was happening with the free Xbox game, it’s called Ikaruga, created by Treasure. Normally, it costs $9.99 in the US Xbox Store. However, it’s currently available for free on the Argentine Xbox Store. Even if you don’t live in Argentina, you can create an Argentinian Xbox account to get it – it just takes a few extra steps and is completely free.
My girlfriend surprised us with tickets to see The Mandalorian and Grogu, and it inspired me to replay the beginning levels of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens – specifically the Endor, Jakku, and Finalizer sections.
Let’s start with the Lovecraftian horrors – they’re truly frightening creatures. Despite their grotesque appearances, they move quickly and are surprisingly clever. They react aggressively to any noise, making survival difficult. You really have to be careful around these things; there’s very little margin for mistakes.
We’ve learned more about the situation since it came to light last week, and it’s bad news for Low and Alone – they’ve been split up. Low now needs to team up with Dime, who has a useful Torch Hat that provides light-based abilities to replace Alone’s arrows. They’ll have to use this new tool effectively against the Puppeteer, a dangerous enemy who is currently targeting Alone.
However, the remake will handle things differently. Naoki Hamaguchi recently confirmed to RPG Site that Bone Village won’t be accessible this time around, though some nearby areas will still be explorable. He stated players will be able to revisit North Wood and the Temple of Ancients, but Rocket Town—which was also absent from Rebirth—won’t be included either.
