New Details Revealed During ‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ Showcase, Including Pre-order Bonuses, Gameplay

Published

In case you missed the news yesterday, Bethesda’s Ghostwire: Tokyo finally has a release date. Not only that, Sony had a showcase of the game in action earlier, and along with it, more details of what to expect when the game drops.

Ghostwire: Tokyo takes place in the aforementioned city after a mysterious fog rolls in, causing all of the city’s inhabitants to disappear. In their place, the city is flooded with monsters led by Hannya and his followers, known as the Visitors. You play as Akido, having awakened in the streets of Tokyo after “the Vanishing”, and possessed by a mysterious spirit with strange elemental powers. It’s this power of Ethereal Weaving that you’ll need to master to defeat Hannya.

Your Ethereal Weaving abilities allow you to master raw Ether, including wind, fire, and water. As you progress through the game, you’ll be able to learn new abilities, as well as upgrade them, and tailor them to your playstyle. You’ll also be able to free untethered souls to gain experience for you to upgrade your abilities.

In addition to your new powers, you’ll also have access to more traditional weapons, but with a mystical twist. You’ll also be able to use Ethereal Weaving to swing around the city, making navigation much quicker than if you were on foot.

The fog that engulfed Tokyo is still lingering.  Not only will it sap your health if you venture into it, but is also host to some of the more sinister monsters in Hannya’s army. To clear the fog, you’ll need to cleanse corrupted Torii gates scattered around the city.

Finally, those who pre-order Ghostwire: Tokyo from the PlayStation Store will gain early access to the game on March 22. Not only that, but the pre-order bonus includes access to the Streetwear Outfit Pack, Shinobi Outfit, and Kunai Weapon.

Ghostwire: Tokyo will arrive March 25 for PlayStation 5 and PC.

‘Crow Country’ Adds Xbox Series Release for May 9th [Trailer]

Published

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.

In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.

Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.

Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.

Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
