PAC-MAN Championship Edition 2 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)


Comes out in September.




Corona Blossom (PC)



And you can download the demo from there.



Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars (PC)


This JRPG is already out on PS Vita and 3DS, but now it comes to Steam. It's notorious for its game mechanic of - male protagonist romances female characters, they have children, and then you take them into battle too!

Release date is August 15th in Europe, August 16th in North America. First-week purchases get a 20% discount and mini OST.




Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X (PS4)


This was previously only announced on the US Playstation blog, but has now been confirmed as a PSN-only release in Europe.

(There will still be a physical version available for North America as well as a PSN digital version)

Release Date: 30th August 2016.



Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live (PS4/PSVR)


Australian Classification has rated Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live under the publishing of Sega Europe. So, not a full announcement yet, but probably coming.

Arcade Archives: Shusse Ozumo (PS4)


This is a release of the 1984 arcade game by Technos Japan; a sumo wrestling sports game.

Despite it being thought of by Westerners as one of the most quintessentially Japanese activities, there are relatively few sumo games available.

GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst (PC, PS Vita, PS4)


Release date: August 30th on all three platforms.


The blurb says: "Buy GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst and get GOD EATER Resurrection FOR FREE"

And "Pre-order GOD EATER 2 Rage Burst digitally and receive additional costumes from Tales of Zestiria, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul and Assassination Classroom"

Preorders are open now on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/438490/

I've noticed the PS Vita version is significantly cheapest out of the three versions. Sounds like a nice bundle. It still feels weird that I mostly recognise these characters from Project X Zone. 



Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization - (PS4, PS Vita)



There's still no more accurate release date than "Autumn 2016" and I'm still kind of miffed the European version spells the title in such a way it gives me a big underline in red from my spellchecker. XD



Sharin no Kuni kickstarter got cancelled, everyone got refunded, they plan to put things on hold and come back with a better campaign.
