Sony announced changes in price for the PlayStation 5 and the cost of the optional PS5 disc drive for Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK. Certain variants of the console will be more expensive in locations in those regions. However, the disc drive price will be going down. It cited “high inflation” and “exchange rates” as the reasons for the changes. This means it will be closer in price to a Switch 2 in some places, which is €469/£395/AUD $699.95. PS5 Pros are unaffected.

In Europe and the UK, only the PS5 Digital Edition price is increasing, as the disc drive cost goes down in both regions. It will be €499.99, rather than €399.99. In the UK, it will be £429.99 instead of £359.99. The peripheral will now be €79.99 and  £69.99, as it previously cost €119.99 and £99.99. 

In Australia and New Zealand, both PlayStation 5 models, such as the standard one and PS5 Digital Edition, will cost more. One without a disc drive will be AUD $749.95 and NZD $859.95, while ones with will be AUD $829.95 and NZD $949.95. As for the new, lower disc drive prices, those will now be AUD $124.95 and NZD $139.95. 

Only these regions are affected so far. Sony didn’t mention any changes for countries in Asia or North America yet. It’s unknown if those could also be affected.

The PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and standard model, as well as the PS5 disc drive, are available worldwide, and prices in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK go up on April 14, 2025.

Beyblade X XONE is available worldwide on Switch and PC Steam

FuRyu has released Beyblade X: XONE on Switch and PC. The top versus game is now available worldwide in Japanese and English. Multiplayer matches for this game are only available via online or local Switch connections, as the offline modes are exclusively single-player.

A majority of characters appearing in this game will come from Beyblade X, which had its manga and anime adaptations launched in 2023. However, it lets the player enter the series' universe with an original avatar. They will be able to play in matches against the anime characters in the main offline mode.

FuRyu is also gradually releasing more Beys as paid DLC. The first Digital Beybooster pack appeared on the game's launch day with the Rudder Phoenix 9-70G, Crest Leon 7-60GN, and Tide Whale 5-80E. The company also plans to put up two more DLC packs in the near future.

As a side note, the game's Asian English website noted that the Switch version is available via the Hong Kong eShop. But even though Chinese is the main language for the territory's eShop, it only contains the English version of the game. This is partly caused by the lack of an eShop dedicated to Southeast Asian countries, even though Nintendo has opened official webpages in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines in the early 2020s.

Beyblade X: XONE is available worldwide on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 20th anniversary

Bandai Namco opened a new webpage to mark the 20th anniversary of Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune. The company will gradually add congratulatory messages from both staff and players of the arcade game series. The page is only available in Japanese as of its initial reveal, but the company is also planning to add English and Chinese versions in the near future.

This anniversary specifically pertains to the Maximum Tune series of arcade racing games. Namco released the first-ever Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune entry in July 2004. It modeled the arcade game after Michiharu Kusunoki's manga series that launched in 1990.

Bandai Namco gradually updated the arcade games with new iterations that also added new cars to the roster. The more recent entries have been noted for featuring not only Japanese cars but also those from international brands, such as Audi, Lamborghini, Dodge, and Chevrolet.

The company had also launched Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune 6RR Plus in Japan in April 2024 to mark the series' 20th anniversary. The home country usually enjoys the latest iteration exclusively for a period of time before Bandai Namco brings it to other regions.

For instance, the original Midnight Tune 6 appeared in Asia Pacific in July 2019, which was roughly a year after it came out first in Japan in July 2018. The release gap for 6RR was reduced to just a month when it came out in Japan in November 2021 and Asia Pacific in December 2021, although it ended up completely skipping the 6R version that appeared in Japan in 2020. Bandai Namco has still yet to announce 6RR Plus' launch window outside Japan as of July 2024.

Wangan Midnight has also been often compared with Initial D. Both car street racing manga series have been featured in crossover content updates, although the Maximum Tune games have still yet to directly feature Initial D characters like what Sega did in Initial D The Arcade.

The only direct collaboration event between Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune and Initial D arcade games to date happened in 2015, and it only rewarded seasonal interface decorations without any actual character content. Bandai Namco instead featured the character crossovers in its mobile game Drift Spirits.

The Wangan Midnight: Maximum Tune arcade racing games are readily available in arcade centers worldwide. The series' latest iterations as of July 2024 are 6RR Plus in Japan, 6RR in Asia Pacific, and 5DX Plus in North America—which launched in January 2022.

Hololive Kazama Iroha figure by Claynel

Claynel revealed its new figure will feature the Hololive Vtuber Iroha Kazama. Pre-orders for the figure have also opened on multiple web stores with an MSRP of 27,500 yen (~$176.50). The figure will be available in Japan and other select countries in 2025.

The 1/7 scale figure will have a total height of around 270 mm (~10.63 inches), from the pedestal's base to Iroha's ponytail ribbon. The figure set will also include Iroha's mascot tanuki Pokobee and the Chakimaru sword.

Here are some of the sample images for the figure:

The regional availability of this figure will be limited. While most Japan-based stores will only ship the figure domestically, there are some stores that can bring the figure outside Japan, although not all countries are covered. People residing in the U.S. or Canada can place orders on Good Smile Online Shop U.S. Meanwhile, Amiami s a wider range that covers most countries in the Americas and the Caribbean, as well as the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Hololive Vtubers have had numerous figures modeled after themselves. Good Smile Company has particularly revealed a large variety of figures ranging from the Pop Up Parade figure of Amane Kanata to the figma action figure of Kiara Takanashi.

The 1/7 scale figure of the Hololive Vtuber Iroha Kazama will be available in 2025.

Silent Hill: The Short Message Australian Rating Appears, Includes Spoilers

The Austrailian Classification Board and Classification Review Board Annual Reports 2022-23 appeared, and it included the Silent Hill: The Short Message rating and story details. However, the description also featured a number of spoilers from the new Silent Hill project. [Thanks, silent-mario on Reddit!]

The game came up during the section discussing Mature Accompanied MA 15+ rated games. This is one of the stronger advisory categories, and it falls between Mature and Restricted R 18+. The rating for it began by noting it featured “strong suicide themes, horror violence, and coarse language.” However, at the end it did note that all of the imagery and content do “not exceed strong in impact,” which is why it didn’t get an R 18+ rating instead.

However, the bulk of the description goes over the plot. It mentions Anita is in a German apartment building called The Villa searching for insight about her friend. It also mentioned this Silent Hill game will be another “exploration-based psychological horror game” when discussing the general story.

Editor’s note: There will be Silent Hill: The Short Message spoilers from the Australian Classification Board Annual Reports 2022-23 description below. 3t4d49

Here is a screenshot showing the full statement from the description that include the spoilers regarding Anita in the game. Note that they mention graphic descriptions of self harm and suicide. The Australian Classification Board description did note that during the cutscenes, there will be text about seeking help if people feel this way in real life.

Silent Hill: The Short Message is apparently in development for unnamed platforms. The most recent release is the streaming media project Silent Hill: Ascension, which is airing now.

Cult of the Lamb Taken Off Sale

Massive Monster joked that Cult of the Lamb could be removed from sale on January 1, 2024. This was brought on due to changes in fees from using the Unity Engine, which the game built on. (Editor's Note: This was updated on September 13, 2023.)

Massive Monster made the announcement that it will be "deleting" Cult of the Lamb as of January 1, 2024. This is because the game is built on the Unity Engine, which will see the introduction of a new install fee. This fee will require developers to pay Unity a fixed price for each install of the game.

It then followed up with the following message:

A similar sort statement was issued by the publisher Devolver Digital. In a post on the social media site formerly known as Twitter, the company advised developers to mention the engine they’re using when pitching the title. While not explicitly stated, it seems it could affect if the company will be interested in publishing games built in Unity going forward.

Cult of the Lamb isn’t the only game whose developers have expressed frustration in Unity’s decision. Among Us developer Innersloth confirmed it is looking into porting the game to a different engine. Aggro Crab, currently working on the undersea Soulslike Another Crab’s Treasure, called on Unity to reverse the stance in their typical foul-mouthed fashion. VR onboarding platform SideQuest VR confirmed that it will not tolerate the personal data of their s being used for this purpose.

Cult of the Lamb is available now for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. It may be removed from sale on January 1, 2024.

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles

NIS America Shared a new Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles trailer announcing its official release date. The game will first release on August 19, 2023 for people in North America. About two weeks later, it will appear in Europe on September 1, 2022. Finally, people in Australia and New Zealand will see it on September 8, 2023, according to the game's official site.

This marks the first time both Rhapsody II: The Ballad of the Little Princess and Rhapsody III: Memories of Marl Kingdom are being officially localized for Western audiences since their original releases in Japan on November 1999 and December 2000 respectively.

The trailer showcases the series’ second title, Rhapsody II: The Ballad of the Little Princess. This game follows the story of Kururu, princess of the Marl Kingdom, on her quest to find her true love while avoiding many evil schemes and obstacles. Unlike the first game, combat takes a more traditional turn-based style, leaving behind the tactical RPG system.

The collection does not include the first game of the series, but players can already find it on Steam or as part of the NIS Classics Volume 3: La Pucelle: Ragnarok / Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure on Switch.

Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles will be available for the PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam in North America on August 19, 2023, Europe on September 1, 2023, and Australia on September 8, 2023. Rhapsody II and Rhapsody III will be sold separately on PC. A limited edition for the Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles collection was previously announced as well.
