Soulcalibur VI
It’s been 6 years since we have seen a new Soulcalibur game, and now Bandai Namco has announced the next in the line. Due to release sometime next year, little is known about the game based on what we have seen. The trailer does tease a new fighter, however, one wielding a bladed quarterstaff style weapon (think Darth Maul’s lightsaber). You can see the trailer for yourself here.

Vacation Simulator
The creators of the hit VR game, Job Simulator, have created a spin-off about going on vacation. Vacation Simulator was revealed by Owlchemy Labs at the recent PSX. All we see is the player relaxing in the beach waters, Though there will undoubtedly be a variety of vacations the player can embark on. You can see the trailer for yourself here.

Fornite 50v50
Fornite gained a fair bit of attention when they released a free game mode called Battle Royale. Coasting on the fame of PUBG, this mode had 100 players combating to be the last one alive. Now there is a new variation to this mode called 50 Versus 50. As the name suggests, it splits those 100 people in half and pits them off against each other. You can heal anyone on your team, and cannot hurt them. The catch? The mode is only available until December 17. You can watch the trailer for it here.

Besiege With Friends
A recent update for Besiege has introduced 2 new features, Multiplayer and Level Editor. As the first one implies, you can now have 2 friends join you in your game. They will have their own section to build their own machine, as you cooperatively take on the levels challenging. The other is Level Editor. Now you can create and customize your own levels. build walls, landscapes, and AIs to your whim. The update is free, and you can get Besiege on Steam for $7.99.

Mega Man in Monster Hunter
In a promotional effort for next year’s Mega Man 11, the upcoming Monster Hunter: Worlds game will have an optional outfit for your felyne companion. The outfit will drop up your partner in a retro poly style recreation of Mega Man. This will also change the game’s music to various Mega Man tunes, depending on which weapon you select. Monster Hunter: Worlds released next month, with Mega Man 11 on the late end of that year.

MediEvil Rises From the Dead
The classic PS2 game, MediEvil, will be getting a remaster. The game will have improved graphics and 4K support on PlayStation 4 Pro. Unfortunately, that’s about all we know right now. Check out the (pretty vague) announcement trailer for it here.


Jeez, that was a lot of news. PlayStation Experience happened over the weekend, attributing to most of this. Thanks for reading everyone. I appreciate your patience with the days I don’t post. Check back tomorrow for more of the best in video games. Otherwise, have a great night!
