A recent leak from Billbil-kun reveals that Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, a 2024 RPG developed by Dimps Corporation and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, will be included in the April 2026 PlayStation Plus free games lineup. This follows Billbil-kun’s previous leak about Lords of the Fallen being part of the same lineup. The full list of games is expected to be announced on April 1, 2026, but PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS4 and PS5 won’t be able to access the games until April 6.

The company announced it will be able to attract and retain top talent by offering competitive salaries and fostering a positive work environment where employees feel valued. As part of this, all employees will receive a ¥5,000 monthly raise – a benefit the company is repeating for the first time in a year.

Turner previously mentioned on the Julia Cunningham Show podcast that she has an ongoing back issue, discovered while preparing for her role as Lara Croft. It’s currently unknown whether her current injury is related to this pre-existing condition or occurred on set.
