Shift Up held its Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Stellar Blade crossover livestream and revealed that the collaboration characters ing the game will be Eve, Lily, and Raven. The event will be called “Memories Teller” and be fully-voiced by the cast from the PS5 and PC game. Providence will be the boss in it. There will also be costumes for Eve and Raven. Everything starts on June 12, 2025. June 2025 is also when the NIKKE crossover DLC comes to the console and PC game.

Everything first starts after maintenance on June 12, 2025, but not all elements will appear at that moment. “Memories Teller” begins with a rumor humans are on the surface. However, once going there, we encounter people like Eve and Lily. Going through that event allows us to earn SR Lily for free. That day is also when the SSR Eve Pick-Up Recruitment gacha banner starts and we can get the Neurolink to earn the Neurolink Suit costume for the character. 

The next batch of updates for the NIKKE Stellar Blade crossover event kicks off on June 19, 2025. That’s when the SSR Raven gacha banner begins. In addition to being able to pull for the character, the Midsummer can be acquired and gone through to earn a Midsummer Alice costume for the character. Another Eve outfit will appear in Stellar Blade on that day too, with the costume gacha adding a banner for her famous Skin Suit from the PS5 and PC game. 

We got to see teaser images for many of the characters and costumes in the gallery of Shift Up official images below.

Here’s the trailer for the event:

Note that Eve, Lily, and Raven won’t appear in any other recruit banners in NIKKE after the Stellar Blade event ends, as they are limited units. 

Here is the full Collaboration Special Livestream:

Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is available on PCs and mobile devices. Stellar Blade is on the PS5 and PC. The crossover event will take place starting on June 12, 2025.

At Summer Game Fest 2025, the Ryu ga Gotoku Studio (RGG) game Project Century appeared, this time under the name Stranger Than Heaven. The trailer that confirmed the name also showed a portion set in 1943. The game still doesn’t have a release date or platforms yet, however.

Here is a 1915 trailer for the game that was just ed by Sega. That looked at footage and areas, and it included the new name and logo. This is familiar footage we saw back in December 2024.

This is the new trailer that shows cinematics and gameplay footage. A different protagonist is featured in this portion. He goes by the name Marco Daido, and we get to hear him speak to an obscured individual at the end. 

Here’s the Summer Game Fest 2025 full showcase:

As a reminder, the last time we heard about Project Century, it involved a different time period. That footage featured a period set in 1915. Around that same period of time, Snoop Dogg and RGG teased his possible involvement in this new title.

Stranger than Heaven is in development. It is unknown if this new game will have any type of ties to RGG's previous Yakuza or Judgment series.

Here is the very first trailer. It shows a protagonist character dealing with opponents in a medieval mansion.

Square Enix shared new concept art on the official Final Fantasy VII Remake social media , and this time it showed the effect of the Toad status on Cait Sith and Red XIII and their unique forms as frogs in FFVII Rebirth. As is common, both amphibians feature traits and accessories inspired by the characters.

In the case of Cait Sith, it features a black and white color scheme like the tuxedo cat. It also wears a crown and red cape, just like the character. The comment noted it almost ended up being two frogs, to represent how the character rides a Moogle. The Red XIII frog is red with accents that mimic his markings, and it features two feathers behind its eyes. It also has a scar over the right eye.

Here are the two pieces of FFVII Rebirth concept art of Cait Sith and Red XIII as frogs after being afflicted by a Toad spell or Frog Song.

This isn’t the first time Square Enix shared concept art of the frog status effect in FFVII Remake and Rebirth, as the characters’ frogs resemble them when the Toad form is in effect. Back in 2022, around the first game in the trilogy’s launch, we got a better look at the Aerith, Cloud, Tifa, and Barret designs. 

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC, and FFVII Rebirth is on the PS5 and PC. There’s no release window for the third entry in this remake trilogy yet. FFVII Remake will also come to the Switch 2.

Bandai Namco announced exactly what is different between the Switch and Switch 2 versions of the new Tamagotchi Plaza game coming out later this month. It turns out the one for the new console includes three shops the other doesn’t. This is because all three involve minigames that use the Joy-Con mouse only present on the latest system. There will also be an upgrade pack that adds those three shops to the Switch version if someone eventually gets the new console. 

There are three shops, though one of them is a hybrid of the first two. In the Sushi Shop, you will hold the Joy-Con in mouse mode and press buttons to create the sushi your customers request. The Shuriken Shop involves getting throwing stars and hitting targets with them. However, to throw them you hold the Joy-Con in mouse mode with the sensors pointed up, then swipe your hand across the top after aiming. The Sushi Shuriken Shop combines the two elements, as you make requested sushi, then flip the Joy-Con ever to toss it like a shuriken at the person who wanted it.

Here’s the Tamagotchi Plaza Switch 2 trailer showing the gameplay for those three shops. There is also a picture-in-picture video that shows the Joy-Con controls for each one’s minigame.

Tamagotchi Plaza will come to the Switch and Switch 2 on June 27, 2025, and the Switch 2 version will feature more shops. Both versions work with the Tamagotchi Uni virtual pet, which is available worldwide.

Samantha Kelly took to her official SamanthaKellyPeach Instagram to confirm that she is no longer the voice of Princess Peach or Toad as of Mario Kart World. In the social media post, she noted that Nintendo told her new actors replaced her on June 5, 2025, launch day for both the game and Switch 2 console. [Thanks, DaKardii on Reddit!]

Here’s a screenshot of voice actress Samantha Kelly announcing she no longer plays Peach or Toad in Super Mario games starting with Mario Kart World. Her full statement on the was, “Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy. I’m sad that it’s over, I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I’m grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love.”

She is one of three voice actresses known to play Princess Peach and Toad in the Super Mario series. Jen Taylor was the first person to take on the roles. She started work on the games in 1999, with the first entry she worked on being Mario Golf for the N64. Nicole Mills played Princess Peach in some Mario & Luigi and Super Mario Strikers titles. Kelly ended up portroying both since Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii in 2007.
