This Week’s Japanese Game Releases: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, more

by

This week, notable video game releases in Japan include Hollow Knight: Silksong for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC; Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC; and Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots for PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC.

In this rephrased version, I tried to make the sentence more conversational and easier to understand by breaking it into shorter sentences and using more common phrases like “notable video game releases” instead of “highlights.” Additionally, I replaced “for” with “on” for a smoother flow.

Additionally, slated for release this week are “Hirogami” for PlayStation 5 and PC, “SHUTEN ORDER” for Nintendo Switch and PC, and “Hell is Us” for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC as well.

Significant digital-only launches encompass titles like “Cronos: The New Dawn” on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC; “Psycho Dream” spanning multiple platforms such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC; and lastly, “Tokyo Underground Killer” for personal computers (PC).

Below, you’ll find the comprehensive list of this week’s Japanese game releases. It’s worth mentioning that purchases made through Play-Asia links will result in a small commission for Gematsu. You can enjoy a savings of 5% by using our multi-purpose coupon code “GEMATSU2025“.
