Originally released for the Super Nintendo in North America on May 13, 1996, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars uniquely blended the role-playing elements of Square’s games with the beloved Mario franchise. It’s a charming adventure that influenced many games since. Even now, with the recent remake still popular, it’s remarkable how much the game changed the traditional Mario style, and how those changes could continue to inspire future installments.

Obsidian Entertainment has created many fantastic games, including titles like Avowed, The Outer Worlds, New Vegas, and Pillars of Eternity. But they’ve also worked on a few games that many players might not realize they were involved with, or have simply forgotten. If you’re a true Obsidian fan, you probably already know their full history – and you deserve kudos for that! But if you’re interested in discovering some of their more obscure projects, here are a few games to check out.

A ResetEra user with a history of accurate leaks for Sega and Atlus games claims that Persona 4 Revival will release in the same month as Persona 3 Reload. Since Persona 3 Reload came out in February 2024, this suggests Persona 4 Revival could launch in February 2027. This timing aligns with Atlus’s current release window and supports earlier leaks pointing to a release early next year.

We don’t have many details beyond the short preview, but the studio promises to reveal more information shortly. Here’s what they’ve shared so far:

According to recent leaks, the main character will be named Anika, replacing the earlier reported name of Elsa. This initial name was likely just a temporary placeholder, much like Ubisoft used “Jora” during development of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to represent Eivor. Another leaker, j0nathan, has confirmed this information. The character is said to be related to Claudia Auditore, and the game, Codename Hexe, will largely take place in Wurzburg, Germany.

Despite the setbacks, this release is a big achievement for IOI, the game developer. They had previously pushed back the game’s launch by two months to refine it, and then delayed the Nintendo Switch 2 version until later this summer, explaining they needed extra time to guarantee a high-quality experience.

The NHK Symphony Orchestra performed the song for the recording, and it includes a diverse range of instruments – everything from pianos and violins to various wind instruments like flutes and trombones.

I’m so excited! PlayStation is adding a bunch of new games next week on May 19th for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members. The biggest news is definitely Red Dead Redemption 2 – it’s an amazing open-world western game by Rockstar, and it’s actually coming back to the service after being available before! Besides RDR 2, I’m also really looking forward to checking out Star Wars Outlaws, and it’s cool that Premium members get exclusive access to Time Crisis.
