RGG Studio, the creators of the Yakuza and Judgement series, hosted a livestream on September 20th to unveil upcoming games in the pipeline. I was hoping for news of a third Judgement installment as I figured now would be the perfect time to announce it, with the latest mainline Yakuza entry having been recently released…

Hosted by Geoff Keighley, The Game Awards (including Summer Game Fest) has taken the place of the E3 convention of the past, showcasing game trailers from already announced games as well as world premieres.

BlizzCon Makes Its Return To In-Person Events
After a four year gap and an acquisition by Microsoft, Blizzard returned to their usual convention center in Anaheim California for an in-person BlizzCon event. On the opening day of the two-day event this weekend, Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, took the stage to welcome Blizzard and Blizzard games players to XBox. Even though…
RGG Direct Fall 2023
RGG hosted their fall games Direct as a follow-up to the RGG Summit that took place earlier this year, and with it came a ton of new information focused mostly on Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Infinite Wealth seems to be shaping up into one of RGG’s biggest games yet, and with Gaiden releasing in…
Annapurna Interactive: The Last Summer Game Fest 2023 Showcase
June 29th marked the last showcase in partnership with Summer Game Fest: Annapurna Interactive. I was especially excited for this one as Annapurna Interactive is the publisher of Stray, a short game that I enjoyed immensely. Unfortunately, as Stray was released just under a year ago, there was no news of a sequel. The only…

RGG Summit 2022
September was a great month for Yakuza news with several exciting reveals in RGG Studio’s annual live-streamed game announcements. I am a relatively new Yakuza fan, having started Yakuza 0 last May. Ever since then it’s been full steam ahead, and it took me just over a year to complete all eight mainline games. I…
BlizzConline 2021
This time around, BlizzCon was a bit different. It was shorter and pre-recorded, and no in-person cosplay contests. It was still good, and we did get information on patch 9.1, but Cons are social events and, even though I’ve never been lucky enough to go to BlizzCon, I could tell a certain excitement was lacking….
2020 Isn’t All Bad
After struggling through a long period of time marked by lack of motivation, in no small part due to the current pandemic (but also pure laziness), we got some awesome news that Shadowlands – the eighth expansion to World of Warcraft – will be here on October 26th! With the upcoming pre-patch most likely coming…
