During a truly packed Nintendo Direct showcase on June 9th, we got a first look at One Piece: Grand Gourmet. This stunning pixel art game features over 400 characters from One Piece, and a premise that’s perfect for longtime fans and newcomers alike. One Piece: Grand Gourmet is a single-player cooking management sim, and it’s joining Bancho the Chefon my wishlist from this year’s Summer Game Fest lineup. Better yet, Grand Gourmet already has a release date. It will hit PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, iOS, and Android on October 23rd.

That’s a high bar for the sequel to live up to, especially one without Fincher returning (Sorkin takes over directing duties for this). There’s also a major recast, with Jeremy Strong stepping into the role of Zuckerberg, which was played by Jesse Eisenberg in the original. As you’d expect from the Succession star, it looks like a rather unique take. Check out the trailer below:

Since the game’s demo came out last week, a lot of people have expressed this concern. Fortunately, Capcom has heard the feedback and is already addressing it.

Here is an overview of the game, via PQube:

As a gamer, it’s awesome to see Pearl Abyss really supporting their single-player games. They’ve built a reputation with MMOs, which need constant updates and new content, and they’re bringing that same dedication to these new titles. Honestly, a lot of us who mainly play single-player games aren’t used to developers giving this much post-launch attention, so it’s a really refreshing change!

This was never more obvious than when David Lynch and Mark Frost’s ABC drama show Twin Peaks became a mainstream phenomenon upon release. Many viewers expected this atypical mix of cop show, teen drama, and supernatural horror to have a clear end to its knotty, byzantine plot. Although Twin Peaks influenced ‘90s TV classics like The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show itself had a far stranger, more ambiguous storyline than either of those later hits.

Chip Zdarsky, one of Marvel’s strongest writers currently, is joined by Delio Diaz and Frank Alpizar for this new series that promises big things for the Marvel Universe. Although some of the ideas presented aren’t new, the book has a vibrant energy that keeps it engaging. Armageddon is developing into a truly noteworthy story, and this issue effectively continues that momentum.
