【TRAILER】

【FEATURES】

• Delve into Roguelite Virtual Dungeons – Freely roam around each dungeon to conquer it at your own pace. Defeating each enemy adds a powerful new ally to your deck of cards, but you’ll be able to skip battles and run straight to the boss when you’re ready to battle. The number of turns you take in a dungeon will determine your score, so be sure to go fast when you’re aiming for a top score! When you enter a normal dungeon, your deck will be reset, allowing you to try out new strategies each time. But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you lose the cards you gathered in the dungeon! You’ll be able to use your collecting cards by bringing them with you into dungeons, as trump cards during critical moments, and in special Grand Battle Dungeons you’ll unlock while playing the game
• Each Card is its Own Character – Card-en-Ciel includes over 300 different cards featuring characters from in-universe video games, each with their own personality. Every card is fully voiced, from when you first earn it to when you use their special abilities in battle. They’ll even react when you’re doing well or in trouble, and talk to their friends and enemies while idle! The characters on your cards come alive thanks to the “Link Etude System” in Card-en-Ciel. In addition to in-universe game characters, Inti Creates game characters are also featured on cards!
• Powerful Muses Offer Their Support With 50 Unique Songs – Special cards featuring “Muse” characters will begin singing in battle when you meet their requirements, providing powerful effects on top of your normal card abilities. The Muses’ songs were created as if they were featured in their respective games, down to the style of the era! 50 songs are included, from opening themes, endings, and hot-blooded battle songs. You can bring multiple Muses into battle, where their songs swap in as you meet their conditions, keeping the action lively
• Enjoy the Full-Fledged Story – The story unfolds across more than 10 dungeons, each with its own unique encounters, cards to collect, and Muses with new songs. Your dungeon dives culminate in a challenging boss fight against the featured game world’s heroes and heroines, with twists that tie into the games themselves. After clearing a dungeon, you’ll gain access to 10 additional difficulty settings. These hard modes not only power up enemies, but add new rules that you might even be able to use to your advantage to take on the tougher foes. In addition to the story mode, you can battle other players in real-time player-versus-player, or challenge a daily dungeon to rank on the online leaderboards!

Yakuza Series 20th Anniversary Bundle

PlayStation 5 – Europe

SEGA will bring the Yakuza Series 20th Anniversary Bundle for the PlayStation 5. This bundle includes three Yakuza games: Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, Yakuza Kiwami, Yakuza Kiwami 2, a steelbook and art cards. Mark your calendars as this bundle launches on December 8.

Check out the overview per game below. 

Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut
Discover the decadence and danger of 1988 Japan.

The year is 1988. As Japan finds itself at the height of its bubble economy, young upstarts Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima take on two massive entertainment districts within Tokyo and Osaka, facing their greatest threat in the series thus far.
In this brand-new director’s cut, enjoy additional scenes starring major characters and the series’ first-ever online multiplayer mode, Red Light Raid!

STORY

The Battle Deciding the Next Ruler of Kamurocho Begins

It is December of 1988. Within the vibrant district of Kamurocho, Tokyo, numerous organizations are mobilizing to seize control of a large-scale redevelopment project. However, a tiny lot with an unidentified owner is all it takes to throw these plans into disarray.

The “Empty Lot.” The struggle over this meager plot of land soon escalates into a major conflict involving powerful yakuza organizations from both the east and west.
As one era draws to a close, the stage is set for two legends to carve out their legacies.

Yakuza Kiwami
The Like a Dragon games depict the struggles of making a living in the heartland of the entertainment district. Through their realistic portrayals of modern Japan, they explore themes of love, humanity, and betrayal.

STORY
Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, is drawn into a web of conspiracies after a chance encounter with a girl worth 10 billion yen.

1995, Kamurocho…
An up-and-coming yakuza takes the fall for the murder of a crime boss to protect his sworn brother and his childhood friend. This man is none other than Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima.

After a decade, Kiryu is released from prison to a world he no longer recognizes. His own organization has turned against him, and various conspiracies threaten to tear the streets of Kamurocho apart. When 10 billion yen vanishes from the Tojo Clan vault and Kiryu finds himself caught in the middle, he finds everything points to a young, mysterious girl named Haruka. In the midst of the chaos, a chance encounter brings the two together.

Together, they must survive to find the answers they both seek.

Yakuza Kiwami 2
There can be only one dragon.

In this sequel to the first Yakuza, Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, must face the ambitious Ryuji Goda, the Dragon of Kansai, in an all-out war between two rival yakuza clans.

Thanks to the Dragon Engine, you can enjoy Yakuza 2’s story in stunning new detail. Yakuza Kiwami 2 also includes the Majima Saga, an original story that takes place between the events of Yakuza and Yakuza 2.

STORY
The Dragon of Kansai Strikes
Kazuma Kiryu believed his yakuza days were over, living an ordinary life with Haruka Sawamura—until a single gunshot shatters that peace. When Yukio Terada, the fifth chairman of the Tojo Clan, is assassinated, Kiryu finds himself pulled back into yakuza affairs.
With the Tojo Clan weakened, Kiryu himself journeys to Kansai’s Sotenbori to broker peace, but ends up coming face-to-face with Ryuji Goda, a powerful yakuza known as the Dragon of Kansai, and Kaoru Sayama, the lead detective of Osaka PD.

Now, the east and west are on the cusp of war as a tragedy buried for over 20 years boils to the surface.

When the Dragon of Kansai and his forces launch an invasion of Kamurocho, Kiryu has no choice but to fight back.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

Nintendo Switch 2 – US, Europe, & Japan

Nintendo, Koei Tecmo, and AAA Games Studio have dropped the United Against the Demon King trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Get ready to fight as this game launches on November 6.

Watch the trailer below.

Check out the latest details below. 

In the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, the fate of ancient Hyrule hangs in the balance. Stand alongside Princess Zelda as Demon King Ganondorf’s dark forces sweep across the kingdom and witness the beginning of this previously untold chapter of Hyrule’s history that ultimately leads to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, King Rauru and Princess Zelda must lead a desperate defense against an invasion that will determine the fate of the kingdom. The very survival of Hyrule and its people rests on the courage of heroes willing to stand together against Ganondorf’s legion. You’ll meet various characters within the story, including some new faces like Calamo, a boisterous Korok wandering Hyrule in search of a place to put down roots; and the Mysterious Construct, who can transform and take to the skies.

You’ll also encounter more familiar figures during your adventure. Alongside Princess Zelda, players will also get to know the legendary Sages, including Agraston, the worldly chief of the Gorons, the courageous Zora queen Qia, and Raphica, the quick-witted leader of the Rito.

To defend the kingdom, these heroes must form a united front against Ganondorf’s invasion. By having two characters work together, you can unleash powerful Sync Strikes to give yourself an edge in combat. Different character combinations will produce different kinds of Sync Strikes, such as granting characters buffs or creating constructs you can control. Try out different pairs and deliver devastating blows to the opposition!

So, rally your allies and use their signature abilities to vanquish hordes of enemies when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment launches.

Thanks, Gematsu! 

Game Overview

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the newest title from the series. The game features battles against enemies while unfolding a new story from Hyrule’s distant past, the Imprisoning War, which led to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Pokemon Legends Z-A

Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2 – Europe, Japan & Asia

A huge milestone has been achieved! Pokemon Legends: Z-A has surpassed 5.8 million units worldwide in the first week of release. Nearly half of the sales were for the Nintendo Switch 2.

Check out the announcement from The Pokemon Company here.

Thanks, Gematsu for the info! 

Game Overview

Here’s the game overview below via Nintendo. 

The story is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. Compared to Lumiose City as it appeared in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games, released in 2013, more greenery now adorns the city, alongside facilities with a cutting-edge feel.

In Lumiose City, spaces frequented by people—such as shopping arcades, cafés, and restaurants—coexist with more natural areas, such as waterfronts and verdant parks. At the center of Lumiose stands Prism Tower, the very symbol of the city.

The Story Begins with a Sightseeing Trip to Lumiose City…

While visiting Lumiose City during your travels, you’ll come to stay in an old hotel named Hotel Z. This hotel will serve as your base as you and the new friends you’ll meet in Lumiose tackle all sorts of incidents that will occur in the city.

So…

Pokemon Legends Z-A is now avaialble here at Playasia for the Switch 1 (Japan & Europe) and Switch 2 (Japan) versions. Grab yours now! 

ORDER NOW

Note: The availability of all items is subject to change without prior notice.

【TRAILER】

【FEATURES】

• Wild Zones: Habitats for Wild Pokémon – As part of Lumiose’s urban redevelopment plan, driven by a large corporation called Quasartico Inc., the city has been outfitted with “wild zones” in an effort to help humans and Pokémon share the city. These areas are constructed using cutting-edge technology to give Pokémon places to live. Within wild zones, you can battle Pokémon and catch them by throwing Poké Balls
• Make Pokémon Your Allies – You can catch wild Pokémon living in wild zones or out and about in Lumiose City by aiming a Poké Ball at them and letting it fly. If the Pokémon doesn’t pop back out of the ball, you’ve successfully caught it! Some Pokémon will flee immediately if they spot you, so hide out of sight or approach from behind to make yourself harder to notice. You can also battle Pokémon to lower their HP, making them easier to catch
• A Pokémon Series First: Pokémon and Trainers Take Action in Real Time During Battle – In previous titles in the Pokémon video game series, Pokémon took action once per turn. In Pokémon Legends: Z‑A, Trainers and their Pokémon will move around in real time during battles, and Pokémon will unleash their moves when their Trainers command them to
• In addition to type matchups, there will be new gameplay mechanics to consider, such as the precise timing for swapping out your Pokémon or using moves, the different lengths of time moves will take to launch, and how big an area the moves will impact. This unprecedented style of Pokémon battling is one of the most thrilling parts of this title

Kirby Air Riders

Nintendo Switch 2 – Japan & Europe

Nintendo and Sora Ltd. game director Masahiro Sakurai has revealed new details for the upcoming game Kirby Air Riders in the latest Direct dedicated to this game. The new details include Road Trip Mode, the return of Top Ride from Kirby Air Ride, and the Global Test Ride demo event, which will be available from November 8 to 9 and from November 15 to 16. Masahiro Sakurai also announced that no DLC is planned.

Check out the full details below via Nintendo. 

Headlining the presentation were the introduction of the story-driven Road Trip mode and the return of Top Ride, a mode originally introduced in the 2003 Nintendo GameCube game Kirby Air Ride. These game modes are just some of the features highlighted in this presentation, with Mr. Sakurai revealing how Kirby Air Riders expands its gameplay experience on Nintendo Switch 2—including introducing a large roster of riders, the return of legendary machines, customizable features, online1 play and more. It’s time to get ready for a whole new level of fast-paced action.

And as for the new features and details covered in the presentation, here’s what Mr. Sakurai revealed about what you can expect when the game lands:

• Top Ride – A game mode originally introduced in Kirby Air Ride, Top Ride is all about racing from a top-down perspective and includes courses inspired by those available in Air Ride mode. Just as in other game modes, you can choose your riders and machines separately. You can also use Quick Spins and Boost Charges, plus Copy Abilities such as Flash, which causes the rider to surge forward with electricity—rivals that are hit will be in for a shocking surprise! There are also items exclusive to Top Ride to help you gain even more of an advantage over your opponents, including Kaboomb, Drift Flames, Drill Driver and more! Top Ride can be played online with up to eight players, or offline with other three players2 on a single system and four CPUs.
• Road Trip – In today’s presentation, Mr. Sakurai introduced a new mode called Road Trip. Hit the road and complete different challenges from Air Ride, City Trial and Top Ride including races, battles, and Field Events—all the while collecting machines and items you can use between challenges. But this is no random Road Trip. There is a story behind why Kirby, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, Starman and other riders are embarking on this journey, and it’s hinted at during the presentation …
• Paddock – In Kirby Air Riders, there is a new way for friends to gather for online play in the paddock3. Acting like a lobby, this area lets players move around as a rider and set up matches, interact with friends and pick and choose which mode they’d like to play. It’s even possible for several matches to be happening within a single paddock. Players can also change the music. You can also send emotes, and work on character poses using the control sticks in combination.
• Swap Relay – The presentation dove deeper into Air Ride mode, introducing a new type of race called Swap Relay. Here, you’ll select a machine for each individual lap and automatically swap machines as you complete laps. Find the right combos and experiment with different pairings of rider and machine. You can even relay with other players locally by handing off the controller like a baton!
• Transform Star – The Transform Star is both a star type flying machine and a bike type driving machine and is one of the new machines being introduced in Kirby Air Riders! By rapidly moving the Left Stick you can swap between both types to keep your opponents on their toes.
• Checklist – The Checklist3 from Kirby Air Ride is back as well. As you clear certain objectives, a Checklist box gets flipped over. The more you achieve, the more unlockable content you can access. There are five Checklist tabs, representing Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial, Road Trip and Online. Clicking on an unopened box which is next to opened box will take you right to that objective, all set up and ready to play. Rest assured that there are no riders or machines locked behind the Online tab, so completing that tab is not required. You can jump in immediately and start filling up your Checklist.
• amiibo – The presentation revealed more of the Kirby Air Riders amiibo figures4, which are significantly larger than typical amiibo. Mr. Sakurai showcased Meta Knight & Shadow Star, King Dedede & Tank Star and Chef Kawasaki & Hop Star. They, too, can swap riders and machines! Each rider, including those revealed in the three new two-part amiibo packs, is attached magnetically to their machine, and you can swap them out with other Kirby Air Riders amiibo, with the new combo appearing in the game as well! You will also be able to train up your amiibo Figure Player and increase their experience levels. The amiibo will launch on:
  • Meta Knight & Shadow Star – March 5, 2026
  • King Dedede & Tank Star – 2026
  • Chef Kawasaki & Hop Star – 2026
   
• And So Much More – The presentation confirmed the return of all nine Air Ride courses from the original game, from Fantasy Meadows to Nebula Belt, bringing the total number of courses to 18. The presentation later offered details on a new City Trial power-up item called the Mega Cannon. It also covered Stadiums, as well as boss battles which teased the debut of a boss battle exclusive opponent called Robo Dedede—a boss who can transform between Dedede mode and Car mode! There are also returning Copy Abilities and even ways to collect and rebuild the legendary machines Dragoon and Hydra!

Mr. Sakurai also discussed some new online and multiplayer elements that will be available in Kirby Air Riders, giving players more chances to share the experience with friends and family:

• Global Win Power – Kirby Air Riders will feature a Class system and a new metric called Global Win Power3. First, your Class ranking is measured not with a letter grade, but with colors. The seven colors of the rainbow indicate your Class and help match you up with similarly leveled players online. Raising your Class level can inspire changes in City Trial, so keep an eye out. Each multiplayer game mode also has its own Global Win Power ranking, which is based on your total number of wins. Although not directly related to your Class ranking, it will increase the more you play. Your Global Win Power is also displayed on your License.
• Licenses – Your online multiplayer experience starts with creating a License3. This is how others will be able to identify you when playing online and is viewable when competing against other players. You can customize it with glitter effects and stickers, as well as your own Street Name by pairing two pre-set terms together.
• Team Battles – Up to 16 players2 can play City Trial together and with Team Battles3, you can now split up the players into two teams of eight. Legendary machine parts can be shared between teammates—and whoever picks up the final piece gets to ride it! When ten or more players are competing, all players will be split into two of the same stadium and teams will compete for the high score.
• Hone Your Skills – As a single player, play Time Attack in either Air Ride or Top Ride modes and challenge yourself to get your best time over a set number of laps. Or play Free Run in either of those modes, too, and practice your moves or set your own Personal Best in a pressure-free environment without any opponents in your way. In City Trial, you can use Free Run to explore Skyah without any time limits or obstacles.
• Expanded Roster – The presentation also revealed a few more of the characters you’ll be seeing in Kirby Air Riders as playable riders. There’s the clever arachnid Taranza, the troublemaking duo of Lololo & Lalala and more!

The presentation further expanded on the ways you can customize your Kirby Air Riders experience, personalizing Air Ride machines, garages and even music.

• Miles – How do you acquire customizable accessories? With Miles! You keep earning Miles while you’re playing—the more you play, the more you earn. You can then take this in-game currency to the Miles Shop where you can acquire machines, machine decorations, License decorations, and music tracks. You can even acquire customizable Headwear for your riders.
• My Machine – As you collect machines by playing, purchasing parts at the Miles Shop and completing Checklist challenges, you can add decals, accessories, patterns and effects to turn any machine into My Machine. Then take your personalized My Machine to the Machine Market where you can list it for sale for in-game currency and acquire machines designed by other players. The more your machine sells, the more expensive it gets (but don’t worry, you don’t actually lose the machine if it sells). In addition to decorating your machine, you can create your own custom garage to show off your unique rides. Invite friends from the paddock to come and hang, too!
• Gummies – New to Kirby Air Riders are machine-shaped Gummies collectibles. They are shaped like the machines of opponents you’ve defeated—for every rival you place higher than in a competition, you’ll earn a Gummy of their machine. Inhale them, fire them into the sky and generally hold onto them as trophies of all the opponents you’ve defeated. Who knows, maybe you’ll become a Gummillionaire!
• My Music – Mr. Sakurai gave special mention to game composers Shogo Sakai and Noriyuki Iwadare, who worked on Kirby Air Ride and the Super Smash Bros. series respectively. Like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kirby Air Riders will have a My Music option that allows you to select what music you’d like to be playing during City Trial while you explore Skyah, including tracks from across the Kirby game series, bonus tracks and hidden tracks! There is also new music available on the Nintendo Music5 smart device app today!

And that’s not all. Kirby Air Riders will also feature announcer voices in different languages and styles to choose from that provide commentary during races and narration during the Road Trip story. Players can also enjoy customizable button-mapping, visual effect options and a new Main Menu that gives you easy access to game modes, collectibles and other extras.
