By George Yang Published August 4, 2022

Square Enix officially announced Tactics Ogre: Reborn. It will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on November 11.

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a turn-based strategy game that takes place in The Valerian Isles. The king, Dorgalua Oberyth, brought peace for 50 years, but after his death, a civil war breaks out between three factions. The story follows Denam Pavel, a young man who gets caught between these warring factions and has to make difficult choices during his adventure.

Pre-orders of the $50 standard version come with a digital download code containing a selection of three songs from the new orchestral soundtrack. Those who pre-order the $60 digital premium edition will receive a download code with 10 select chiptune songs from the original 1995 Tactics Ogre game.

This game originally released on the SNES back in 1995 as Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together and received a remake on the PlayStation Portable in 2010. Tactics Ogre: Reborn appears to be based on that PSP game, smoothing out the visuals and adding the aforementioned new features.

With Tactics Ogre: Reborn launching in November, it’s joining a rather backed game release schedule. Square Enix’s own Harvestella starts the month off, and this game will release on the same day as the PC version of Valkryie Elysium. Three juggernauts also releasing that month include Sony’s God of War Ragnarök, Nintendo’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and Ubisoft’s long-awaited Skull and Bones.

Aion 2’s naughty character customization is the least interesting thing about it

It has surprisingly good combat and flying, but its monetization is much harder to defend.

I’m not a big fan of MMORPGs, but Aion 2’s rise to the top of the Steam charts with over 400,000 concurrent players was enough to pique my interest. Yes, the game has a breast size slider, and no, I don’t think it’s a big deal when it sits among some 200 other customization options in one of the deepest character creators I have ever seen. And yeah, the options run deeper than Cyberpunk 2077. Yet most discussions online barely mention the game itself.

It's as if most critics never made it past that menu.

AMD’s FSR 4 is coming to handhelds, so I can see myself losing games in higher resolution

AMD’s FSR 4 is coming to handhelds, but your Steam Deck might be left out

Steam Deck

AMD is bringing its FSR 4 upscaling technology to handheld gaming PCs by the end of 2026, potentially giving portable devices a welcome boost in gaming performance. The catch? It is still unclear whether existing devices such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally will get the upgrade or whether gamers will need to buy new hardware.

AMD consumer chip chief Jack Huynh confirmed the expansion in comments to South Korean publication The Elec. The company plans to bring its machine-learning-based FSR 4 technology to APUs, gaming laptops and handheld devices, expanding it beyond the desktop graphics cards it initially supported.

ARC Raiders just dropped its biggest update yet, and I’m having a blast

I waited six months for Arc Raider's Frozen Trails, and it's like I never left.

Arc Raiders Frozen Trial Frigate in the map

After watching all of those teasers and trailers, I avoided any of the early impressions of Arc Raiders' latest update from gaming channels on YouTube and dived right into the new map, Pendola Pass. Embark’s massive 2.0 update introduces a snowy Italian mountain settlement beyond the Rust Belt where one of the enormous Emperor ARC machines has somehow fallen.

After a few raids, I thought I had seen everything, from the new Arc enemies to the new map. But just before I was getting ready to drop into Pendola Pass for the fifth time, that's when I noticed the Frigate mentioned on Blue Gate. So obviously, I went to check it out. As I first laid eyes on this flying fortress, I knew we're so back.
