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.

Publisher Gamera Games and developer Pollard Studio have teamed with Wired Productions (the folks who brought us Martha is Dead) to release the psychological horror game KARMA: The Dark World. The game, which has been in development since 2021, is currently slated for a release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. No release date has been announced.

In a press release, Wired Productions managing director Leo Zullo stated that they saw something special with KARMA: The Dark World. “It evokes, emotions and provokes players to think, feel and question everything. Pollard Studio wanted to create an intense cinematic experience, and I’m delighted we’re able to work so closely with them. It’s truly an exciting game that I can’t wait to reveal more about.”

Described as a first-person cinematic psychological thriller set in a dystopian world, KARMA: The Dark World takes place in East Germany, 1984. Players take on the role of Daniel McGovern, a Roam Agent for the omnipresent Leviathan Corporation’s Thought Bureau. You have been brought in to investigate actions that have happened in a very specific moment in time. To do so, Daniel infiltrates the memories of suspects to retrace their steps and piece together his investigations. In doing so, Daniel uncovers fragmented memories of his own lurking within the shadows.

As a Roam investigation officer, you work at night, completing the tasks given by the corporation in complete stealth. Your identity as a Roam Agent is intimidating, giving you leverage to gain entry. Using a combination of investigative tools and their own intellect, players must solve puzzles in order to unravel the truth. Diving into peoples’ minds will have you encountering hallucinations and randomly-changing environments. You have to pay attention to the time and space of your location, as well as observe and spot key personnel and events in order to find your way.
