Manage episode 519735840 series 3697245
Capcom launches Resident Evil: Survival Unit as a free-to-play XCOM-style mobile game featuring classic characters like Leon and Jill, arriving November 18th globally. Nintendo impresses with an extended Metroid Prime 4: Beyond trailer showcasing the Switch 2's power, new psychic abilities, and a diverse planet filled with fresh gameplay mechanics releasing December 4th. The Pokémon Company sets Pokémon Pokopia for March 2026 as a life-sim inspired by Minecraft and Stardew Valley, but the Game-Key Card physical format breaks Nintendo's earlier promises. Sony's Horizon Steel Frontiers MMO confirms it's PC and mobile only, sparking massive fan backlash from PlayStation loyalists who feel abandoned by the franchise. ARC Raiders becomes Nexon's most successful global launch ever with four million sales in under two weeks and 700,000+ concurrent players enjoying the North Line update's new content.
