Persona 5 gets the musou treatment. Atlus has finally revealed what the enigmatic P5S is and it might be even better than the Switch port that many had expected: it’s a musou! Officially titled Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, it’s a musou developed by none other than Koei Tecmo studio Omega Force that’s set to come out for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch at an unknown date.

PAX Prime kicks off in Seattle on Friday morning August 30th, and there will be plenty of live-streamed goodness from the show. Most importantly, the panels. Twitch is streaming panel content from the Main Theatre and the Kraken Theatre from Friday August 30th until Monday September 2nd. Yes, you heard that right. There’s four days of PAX Prime this year. What could go wrong? Well for starters, a brand new strain of PAX Flu could develop in that extra day, sending us into a state of something reminiscent of The Last of Us, but that’s only speculation....

There have been rumors of a somewhat troubled development process for Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive Scalebound, but rumors of the game’s cancellation didn’t come until yesterday. Not long after these rumors started, Microsoft confirmed that Scalebound had in fact been cancelled, and now Xbox’s Phil Spencer has weighed in on the sad news. Scalebound first went into development back in 2013 in a partnership between Microsoft and PlatinumGames. Fans were very excited for the game based on the initial showings and PlatinumGame’s history, but the E3 presentation this past year left many people concerned....
Rumors of Google working on a mid-range Pixel smartphone have been around for quite some time now, starting in the form of Pixel 3 Lite last year. One would think that these might have just been reports, however, the rumored naming has since been updated to Pixel 3a. I know, this branding sounds weird (and may take time getting used to), but 2 listings for this mid-range Pixel has since been spotted on Google’s own websites....

Last Oasis, the upcoming survival MMO from Polish developer Donkey Crew, has a major hook. The central draw of the game is Walkers, wooden contraptions that you build to navigate the world and fight. They can be small and fast, designed for general transport, or larger more complex machines, built to take on the massive monsters that inhabit the world, or perhaps some other players. A game like this lives or dies based on how smooth it is for a player to stay on a machine that is rumbling over the landscape, and Donkey Crew has put in the time to make it all work....

Sony has released a brand new firmware update for PlayStation 4, which brings the system up to the version 6.20. As you would expect with such little fanfare, the update is not major at all and only adds minor adjustements in terms of security. In terms of weight, it doesn’t reserve any particular surprise, considering it’s coming with the usual 426MB (or 979MB for the recovery version). It’s an improvement upon 6....
