Sonic fans were over the moon last year when it was revealed that Sonic Generations was getting the remaster treatment and coming out with brand new content focussed on everyone’s favourite anti-hero Shadow.

When Elden Ring: Nightreign was revealed at last year’s Game Awards, it came as a real shock. Not because FromSoftware had something new in the pipeline—everyone loves Elden Ring, but because of what it was. The trailer was cryptic, fast-paced, and oozing with dark energy.

Back in 2015, I picked up Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. Like a lot of JRPG fans at the time, I was drawn to its massive open world, deep systems, and ambitious scale.

I’ve been a big Bleach fan since the anime hit it’s peak popularity in the mid 2000s. Back in the anime’s heyday, I spent countless hours battling it out in the Bleach DS games, and for years, I kept hoping we’d see the series return to the world of video games.

It’s been well over a decade of fan requests, and endless speculation, but Ubisoft has finally delivered what everyone’s been asking for. Assassin’s Creed Shadows has finally taken the franchise to feudal Japan.
