Capcom will bring Resident Evil Village to the Mac in late 2022. The announcement was made at WWDC 2022.

The presentation also featured a look as to how the port will look and perform on Mac computers with Apple Silicon.

Several environments are shown throughout the presentation. These include looks at Castle Dimitrescu and the titular village on a Mac.

Capcom announced in June 2021 that Resident Evil Village DLC would eventually appear. A follow-up statement was made in January 2022, revealing that the company plans to release the add-on sometime in 2022. However, an exact date has yet to be confirmed. Capcom has also not specified what the contents of the DLC will involve. This means there are no details about potential narratives it will cover or in what characters will appear.

In December 2021, Resident Evil Village appeared on Capcom's Platinum Titles list. Worldwide sales for the title reached 6.1 million units as of May 11, 2022.

Resident Evil Village is available on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. It will arrive on Macs in late 2022.

Review: Card Shark Makes You Feel Daring and Slick

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 12:00 PM PDT

Review Card Shark Makes You Feel Daring 1

I'm okay at card games. Better at things like Pokemon Trading Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh than Blackjack, to be sure. I suck at shuffling too. But after some hours playing Card Shark on the Switch, I felt overconfident and daring. Like maybe I could pull off the Three-card Monte! Perhaps I could ensure a certain person would get all high-value cards when dealing? Okay, probably not. But this game made me feel confident in my virtual self!

Card Shark follows an individual who falls in with a con-man called Comte de Saint-Germain. After helping him cheat at a game in an inn, things go horribly awry. Your former employer is killed, and you're essentially framed. But the Comte takes you on as a partner, and the two of you head to the Court of Miracles. It's a place where essentially the unwanted in France end up. While you will be conning folks out of money, you'll also be supporting this community and gathering information about the monarchy.

Review Card Shark Makes You Feel Daring

Now, the name in Card Shark may make you think this is actually about playing cards in some way. Nope! Rather, you're trying to cheat your opponent while keeping them from getting too suspicious. Your goal is to get both money and information. Before games, the Comte might teach you a new grift to use against a mark. Maybe it will be a way to signal what cards are in play? Perhaps you're trying to ensure cards appear in certain places when you deal them? These involve brief minigames. So when you play Three-card Monte, like I mentioned earlier, you'll actually be going through a rhythm game. Others might involve keeping track of when to pick up certain cards or perform certain actions, and in what order to perform certain movements.

As for suspicion, it sort of acts as a timer. If you aren't smooth when pulling off a con or take too long, the mark catches on. While being "off" once or twice won't ruin an endeavor, consistently messing up will cause the gauge to fill to dangerous levels. Which in turn foils your plot. As I was playing Card Shark on the Switch, I was a bit concerned about it. For example, when attempting to ensure the Comte would always get the highest cards in his hand when dealing, I messed up quite a bit in practice! Figuring out the right direction to pick them up in got tricky!

Devolver Digital

But there is an extra cushion that can help if there's a particular short-con that stumps you. Card Shark offers multiple difficulty options. The normal one is fairly forgiving when you're first picking up these tricks. But it isn't the end of the world if, for a particular game, you make things a bit easier or turn hints on. It's a nice bit of accessibility if you're enjoying the story and most of the minigames, but one is getting you down. It is a shame that not every card trick is going to be great, but I enjoyed more of them than not.

Because really, Card Shark is the kind of game in which someone could be in it for only the adventure and ambiance. It possesses such a distinct look. It feels vintage and like it keeps with the classic French time period. The characters are interesting and expressive. For example, I'm a big fan of the Comte and avatar's expressions throughout the story. (Especially when the Comte's look is saying a lot about the size of donation you might make to the "Court.") The card games themselves suit the moment, but are also clear when conveying information. So even if there was a situation where I wasn't "feeling" the current trick, finding out what would happen next made it worth going through it.

Review Card Shark Makes You Feel Daring 4

Card Shark is a game that made me feel daring, and I was glued to my Switch trying to outsmart my opponents. Yes, every once in a while I'd come across a con I didn't enjoy as much as the others. But considering the assortment of tricks you learn and the way the challenge grows, it still can feel very satisfying. Especially since the story that happens while taking advantage of marks is so compelling.

Card Shark is available for the Nintendo Switch and PC. A demo is available.

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Art Shows Baby Lunagaron ‘Puppies’

Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak Art Shows Baby Lunagaron 'Puppies'

There's new Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak concept art from Capcom, and this one shows a litter of baby Lunagaron "puppies." In some images, they're being tended to by their parent. In others, they're going about their daily lives. There's even one showing a sense of scale for a juvenile version of the fanged wyvern on its hind legs.

Things begin in the top right corner with a pair of Lunagaron puppies and a parent nearby tending to the babies. The two are playing together, with one biting the other. The parent nearby offers a sense of scale to show how its young would look alongside the fanged wyvern. Below it are two images that give a better idea of how a baby would look. One features it running, while the other shows it on its hind legs.

The right-hand side of this Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak concept art shows further interactions between the Lunagaron and two baby puppies. In one, the parent is presenting the two with some food. The image above it shows a parent would carry a baby by gently grabbing the scruff of its neck. The one below shows a little Lunagaron biting.

Capcom revealed Lunagaron as one of Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak's new monsters during The Game Awards 2021. We also already know what its armor set will look like in-game.

Monster Hunter Rise is available for the Nintendo Switch and PC, and the Sunbreak expansion will arrive on June 30, 2022.

Mohammed Avdol JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R Trailer Debuts

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 11:00 AM PDT

Mohammed Avdol JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R Trailer Debuts Stardust Crusaders

There's a new JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R video out, and this one features Stardust Crusaders character Mohammed Avdol. He's one of Jotaro's allies in that part of the story. His trailer shows him fighting alongside his Stand Magician's Red.

As the name suggests, Magician's Red is a fire-based Stand. It has a shorter range than other characters' ones in the story. So both Mohammed and Magician's Red fight with kicks and punches. However, the Crossfire Hurricane attack is executed from a distance, as are a few other special attacks.

This marks three JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders videos from All-Star Battle R to show up. Jotaro Kujo's appeared first. Noriaki Kakyoin's followed it.

As for other characters, three prominent JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R videos showed up. One is for Jonathan Joestar, another is for Johnny Joestar, and the third stars DIO.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R will come to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC on September 2, 2022. People will get to test it out on the PS4 and PS5 via an upcoming demo.

A new Fire Emblem Heroes Feh Channel appeared on June 5, 2022, and it included a Book 6 video, a series of Three Houses events tied to Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and Ascended Florina. Essentially, it covered all changes and updates in the immediate future.

Things kicked off with a video showing Fire Emblem Heroes Book 6 events. Alfonse and Ash are under attack by the goddess Embla. It is then that the god Askr appears to assist them. We then see Alfonse and Veronica fighting one another.

For those who just want to see the new Book 6 Fire Emblem Heroes movie outside of the Feh Channel, here's the separate trailer for that.

Between June 8-23, 2022, 13 banners with characters from the game will appear. Each one will give people one free pull. You also can pick one of the focus heroes if you draw from one 40 times. However, each banner will only be around four days total.

There is also an A Hero Rises: Garland Moon Cup event. Between June 5-12, 2022, people can log in to pick the Fire Emblem: Three Houses unit they'd like to get for free in Fire Emblem Heroes. You can do so seven times. After voting closes, the five-star character who received the most votes from all players during the event will be given to everyone for free.

After that, a Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade banner with Ascended Florina was introduced. Letizia, Guy, Kent, and Sain will also be on the banner with her. That will show up on June 8, 2022. People will have until June 29, 2022 to get them from that banner. Guy will also be given away twice as Book 6 midpoint quest rewards during that same time period. People will also be able to get Limstella as a Grand Hero Battle reward between June 9-17, 2022.

Here's the full Fire Emblem Heroes Feh Channel for June 5, 2022. The end of it goes over an upcoming Aether Raid special season.

Kemono Friends 3 Appears on the PS4 and PS5 in Japan

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 10:00 AM PDT

Kemono Friends 3 free-to-play game appears on PS4 and PS5

The PS4 and PS5 versions of Kemono Friends 3 have appeared in Japan. Sega and Appirits launched the title as a free-to-play game on the Japanese PlayStation Store. This game is an RPG where players can collect anthropomorphized characters modeled after various animals.

Sega initially revealed Kemono Friends 3 as a mobile game in 2019. The game launched on Android and iOS devices in the same year. In 2020, the company released the title on DMM Games, which also makes it playable on PCs.

Appirits noted that the PS4 and PS5 releases of Kemono Friends 3 are completely different from the mobile and PC versions. There is no save transfer feature from the mobile version, so all players on the PlayStation release will start fresh. In-game events and campaigns will also run separately between the PlayStation and mobile versions.

Kemono Friends 3 is the second series game to appear on consoles after Kemono Friends Picross on Nintendo Switch. The franchise originated from a mobile game that Nexon launched in 2015. All prior entries before Kemono Friends 3 and the Picross game were available exclusively on mobile devices. However, Kemono Friends Picross remains the only game that is available worldwide in English. The PlayStation Store page noted that Kemono Friends 3 only supports the Japanese language.

Kemono Friends 3 is available on PS4, PS5, Android, iOS, and PC via DMM Games in Japan.

SNK: All-Star Fight Will Launch in Fall 2022 in Japan

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 07:30 AM PDT

SNK All-Star Fight is also coming to Japan

A new SNK crossover mobile game will appear worldwide, including in Japan. Nuverse has revealed the Japanese version of SNK: All-Star Fight, which will be known as SNK Fight! Path to the Strongest. The game's closed beta test will run on Android devices in Japan from June 22 to July 1, 2022. The company also announced Fall 2022 as the Japanese release window for the mobile game, which will also be available on iOS devices.

SNK: All-Star Fight will be an RPG featuring characters from SNK franchises depicted in 3D with cel-shading. The roster will feature not only the company's fighting games like The King of FightersSamurai Shodown, and The Last Blade, but also the run-and-gun game series Metal Slug.

Nuverse had previously revealed the Chinese and English versions of the crossover mobile game. It held a closed beta test for the English release on May 17-26, 2022.

SNK has been working with other companies to release mobile games based on its franchises. However, the fact that many of them have All-Star in the title may cause some confusion. The company previously worked with 37Games to release a mobile crossover RPG titled SNK Allstar in 2019. The latter shut down the game in Japan in late November 2021.

SNK also worked with Netmarble to produce The King of Fighters All Star, a beat 'em up action game with RPG elements that appeared in Japan in 2018 and globally in 2019. This game is still in active service as of this writing. It is also famous for adding guest characters from other company franchises, such as TekkenDead or AliveGuilty Gear, and Street Fighter.

SNK: All-Star Fight will be available for Android and iOS devices worldwide. The mobile game will have a Fall 2022 launch window in Japan.

Genshin Impact Perilous Trail Video Features Story Spoilers Starring Xiao

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 07:00 AM PDT

Genshin Impact Perilous Trail Trailer Features Story Spoilers

Sometimes after new Genshin Impact story quests or events, HoYoVerse will share videos of important scenes. Well, another one has appeared. This time, the Genshin Impact Perilous Trail video features spoilers regarding actions Xiao takes at the end of the quest. It appears at the very end of the questline, so those who haven't completed it yet might want to hold off on watching it.

Editor's Note: The new Genshin Impact video features spoilers regarding things Xiao does during the story in the Perilous Trail Archon Quest.

Genshin Impact Perilous Trail Trailer Features Story Spoilers Xiao Yelan 2

Things in this video happen right as Xiao is about to help everyone escape the deepest part of The Chasm. After Yelan activates the device, Xiao channels his power into it to act as something of an elevator and get everyone to safety. As he does, the fallen souls of soldiers from 500 years ago attempt to maintain their promise to let nothing escape The Chasm.

As that happens, there's a Genshin Impact story scene hinting at what Xiao did before the Perilous Trail quest began. In it, he's meeting with Zhongli to discuss his reasons for visiting The Chasm and get approval to do so. Zhongli warns him about the danger. Due to things seeming dangerous, Xiao uses what is left of his power to send the group to the surface and safety. As he falls back into the abyss, Zhongli appears to save him as well. Everyone reunites in Liyue, while Zhongli watches.

This is the second Perilous Trail video to appear. The first one featured spoilers regarding the Yaksha in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile devices. A Nintendo Switch version is in development.

New DLC for Akiba’s Trip: Undead and Undressed is in the Works

Posted: 06 Jun 2022 06:00 AM PDT

Akiba's Trip Undead Undressed

Kati will have justice. Acquire is working on DLC for Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed (a.k.a. Akiba's Trip 2). The new addition comes nearly nine years after the game was originally released in 2013 and 2014 on PS3 and PS Vita. The DLC, which was announced on June 5, 2022, will add a new story route for one of the playable characters.

Check out the announcement teaser below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ_HhpFcbJE

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is an open-world action game structured similarly to Acquire's Way of the Samurai series. Players roam an accurately rendered version of Tokyo's Akihabara neighborhood, hunting down "Synthisters," vampire-like superhuman creatures. The Synthisters walk among the regular humans, preying upon the lifeforce of tourists, cosplayers, and the unsuspecting masses crowding the famous district. The player is turned into one of them and teams up with an impromptu gang known as the Akiba Freedom Fighters to investigate the incidents and bring peace to Japan's nerd haven. The game was notable for its location-accurate use of stores and establishments from real-life Akihabara, as well as its "Strip Action" combat. Players fight Synthisters, but need to defeat them by tearing off their clothing and exposing their bodies to sunlight.

The new route for Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is called the "Kati Route" and focuses on Kati Räikkönen, a partner for the player character and the only heroine in the game without a story route of her own. The original release of Akiba's Trip 2 contained multiple endings based on the player's pursuit of one of four heroines: Touko Sagisaka, the player's childhood friend, Shizuku Tokikaze, the player's savior, Rin Tokikaze, Shizuku's sister, and Shion Kasugai, genius president of a pharmaceutical company. Kati is a foreign student from Finland, who visited Japan to study and engage in her love of anime and JRPGs. She dresses in a hand-made maid outfit for kicks.

Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is available for PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and PC, and the "Kati Route" DLC is in development, though an English release of the add-on is not yet confirmed. The first Akiba's Trip title was localized and released on Switch, PS4, and PC in 2021 as Akiba's Trip: Hellbound and Debriefed. Check out Siliconera's official review.
