Instead of buying games individually, many enthusiasts are now opting for subscription services, granting them immediate access to a diverse collection of both classic and contemporary titles that regularly updates. Some of these services have experienced varying degrees of success, with PlayStation Plus experiencing a decrease in player numbers, despite offering a substantial library of games across all tiers. As more people recognize the value offered by subscription services, a gaming industry icon has issued a pertinent caution about the potential consequences for developers in the future.
The “Front Mission” series originated from Square in 1995, well before Square merged with Enix in 2003. The primary games in this mech-focused franchise are turn-based role-playing titles. The initial game was exclusively available on the SNES in Japan, but was later ported to WonderSwan Color, PS1, and Nintendo DS. In contrast, “Front Mission 2” and “Front Mission 3” were exclusive to the PS1. During the Nintendo Direct event in February 2022, Polish developer-publisher Forever Entertainment announced a remake of the first game called “Front Mission 1st: Remake“, which was released in November of that year. A revamped version of the sequel, titled “Front Mission 2: Remake“, followed in 2023.
In the anime titled “My Hero Academia“, the longstanding rivalry between Katsuki Bakugo and Izuku Midoriya forms a significant part of the storyline.

As a passionate admirer of video game masterpieces, I can confidently say that FromSoftware’s Dark Souls series has left an indelible mark on the gaming world. Even after the extraordinary success of their latest creation, Elden Ring, the influence of Dark Souls remains undeniable. These groundbreaking titles have redefined video game standards and even birthed a new genre—the Soulslike. The Dark Souls series has inspired countless games, both in the AAA and indie scenes, and has even shaped the future releases from FromSoftware itself. It’s no wonder that many elements of Elden Ring echo those found in Dark Souls, despite being part of a separate series. Now, the franchise is expanding with a new, independent RPG titled Nightreign. This game promises a cooperative, roguelike experience, with its lore and setting derived from Elden Ring. It appears that the concept for Nightreign has been in development for several years.

It’s rumored that Resident Evil 9 is an open-world game built on the RE Engine, and was initially thought to be part of a series of open-world games alongside Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2.
