Originally released in Japan on May 31, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Switch, and PS Vita, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince became available worldwide on PlayStation 4 and Switch on February 12, 2019. Mobile versions for iOS and Android launched in Japan on May 29, 2020.
Here is an overview of the game, via Grasshopper Manufacture:
In a recent developer update, Masaru Ijuin, engine development support manager, explained that Path Tracing is a game-changing technology for graphics. He said it creates more realistic images by simulating how light behaves in the real world – accurately showing how it bounces off surfaces, spreads, and interacts with objects in a scene.
J.J. Abrams is currently working on multiple projects, including a Hot Wheels movie, Flowervale Street, and he’s producing an adaptation of Oh the Places You’ll Go!. However, his next self-directed film is generating a lot of buzz. Originally known as Ghostwriter, the movie—now titled The Great Beyond—will star Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, Emma Mackey, and Samuel L. Jackson. The combination of this talented cast and the intriguing premise of The Great Beyond is already creating a lot of excitement.
Although many scenes feel familiar, a couple are particularly interesting, such as the street beneath the subway and the pharmacy. These areas, with their distinct lighting and reflections, might give us a preview of places players will visit. The recently shown character, Leon, is expected to explore much bigger areas than other characters, and we see him walking down this same street, interacting with several people.
The potential new crew member is Loki, the prince of Elbaph, who Luffy personally invited to join. Although he initially refused for good reason, Loki has become more popular with fans lately. And it seems he might not be coming aboard alone. Chapter 1170 of One Piece, titled “Contrary,” shows that Loki’s hammer, Ragnir, is actually a living creature with its own thoughts, hinting that Ragnir could also join the Straw Hat crew.
The company highlighted some exciting new features at this year’s event, including ways to personalize the vehicle and complete compatibility with Remote Play.
In addition to trying out the Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined demo, players will receive a special in-game costume—the Day Off Dress for Maribel—when they purchase the full game. It’s currently unclear whether you need to finish the demo to unlock the costume. The demo will be available on PC (through Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and the new Switch 2 console.
Sources at Puck News report that Kathleen Kennedy will be stepping down as president of Lucasfilm and will be replaced by two people. Dave Filoni, a longtime creative leader and protégé of George Lucas, and Lynwen Brennan, who currently runs the business side of Lucasfilm, will both serve as co-presidents. This change aligns with previous reports that the president’s role was being split to include both a creative expert and a business manager, though Filoni has never been an executive before. Puck anticipates an official announcement within the next couple of weeks and says Kennedy’s exit interview is already scheduled.
The publisher announced on social media that the game has sold over one million copies.
