SNK CORPORATION today announced a collaboration with Bandai Namco Entertainment’s TEKKEN series that brings TEKKEN 8’s Reina to FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves as the final DLC fighter for Season Pass 3. Reina will join the roster in December 2026.
With her recent debut in TEKKEN 8, Reina has quickly become a fan favorite among players worldwide. Behind her cheerful smile lies overwhelming power and ruthlessness, and powerful opponents await her arrival in South Town. Her signature fast-paced, aggressive TEKKEN fighting style has been blended with CotW’s REV System, delivering a fresh playstyle that brings together the best of both series.
Reina completes Season 3’s seven-fighter lineup, which also includes fan favorites Rick Strowd, Duck King, and Kim Kaphwan; Tokyo Revengers’ Mikey and Draken, arriving together on October 22; and Laocorn from Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture in November. Their vengeance-fueled fates mirror Season 3’s theme and tagline: Destined for Revenge. The crossover also continues a connection between the two series: FATAL FURY’s Geese Howard joined TEKKEN 7 as a guest fighter.
Reina, the Purple Lightning
Voice Actors: Kate Clarke (EN), Asami Seto (JA)
Bio: Reina is a mysterious girl whose only known background is that she attends Mishima Polytechnical School.

The road to Miami begins. Registration is now open in nearly 80 different countries for Red Bull Wings Cup, a new EA SPORTS FC™ 27 competition giving everyday players the chance to compete for the opportunity to represent their country on a global stage like never before.
Taking place across almost 80 countries and in partnership with EA SPORTS and PlayStation, Red Bull Wings Cup welcomes players of all skill levels to compete, whether from home or on campus. Only those who rise to the top will earn a place at their National Final for the chance to represent their country at the Red Bull Wings Cup World Final at Inter Miami’s Nu Stadium in Miami, USA, in early 2027. The once-in-a-lifetime World Final will combine competitive gameplay with real-life football moments as finalists compete to become the inaugural Red Bull Wings Cup champion.
The journey begins when players register for one of two leagues:
The University League – where currently enrolled university students can compete on PlayStationⓇ 5 consoles in on-campus qualifiers against other students, playing EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Rush
The Open League – where players can log into PlayStation Tournaments on their PlayStation 5 consoles to compete online using their own squad, playing EA SPORTS FC™ 27 Ultimate Team.
Red Bull Wings Cup is open to everyone aged 18 and over who is a current resident of any participating country. Local Terms and Conditions may apply.
The top players from both the Open and University Leagues will progress to their respective National Finals, with eligible National Champions earning the right to represent their country at the World Final in Miami.
Beyond the tournament, a limited-edition Red Bull Wings Cup can will be launching worldwide. Each can will give eligible consumers the chance to unlock EA SPORTS FC™ 27 in-game rewards and compete to win a trip to watch the World Final in Miami, giving players even more ways to step into the Red Bull Wings Cup experience, wherever they play.
Red Bull Wings Cup is in partnership with EA SPORTS and PlayStation® Tournaments.
More than two years after its 1.0 release, Ravenswatch continues to delight fans and newcomers alike with additional content. Kintaro is the fourth additional playable character (after Merlin, Romeo, and Juliet) to join the nine original heroes. Among them, Kintaro is the only one without any afflictions. Brave, endowed with Herculean strength, and possessing a heart of gold, Kintaro discovers the ravaged world of Reveree and doesn’t hesitate for a moment to put his power to work for a just cause: repelling the Nightmare invasion. Kintaro is available today as a DLC character on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!
Hailing from Japanese folklore, Kintaro is a powerful hero armed with a gigantic axe. He can fight while riding his bear, Kuma, or let his faithful companion wreak havoc alongside him on the battlefield. As such, he has two sets of abilities, offering greater complexity as well as flexibility depending on the situation. Riding Kuma, players can slice through Nightmares with his claws. On foot, they can swing Kintaro’s axe and unleash devastating combo attacks with his carnivorous sidekick.
In addition to the DLC, Passtech Games is rolling out a major update eagerly awaited by many players: a rework of Talents, the heroes’ special abilities. The studio has been very attentive to the community, observing gameplay patterns and taking player feedback into account to rework these Talents. Some have been rebalanced, others merged, and still others have simply been added or removed. As a result, all heroes now have new ways to play through their active and passive abilities, with the goal of revitalizing the gameplay experience.
Ravenswatch is a top-down roguelike action game that combines intense real-time combat with deep gameplay and high replay value. After the success of Curse of the Dead Gods, Passtech Games returns with a new formula and game experience.
No two runs are alike. With 13 heroes, over 250 talents and 50 magical items offering endless build combinations, 4 difficulty levels, custom game modes and online cross-play co-op up to 4 players, the game offers an addictive experience and high replay value.

Publisher Kalypso Media today unveils the Story Trailer for Tropico 7, offering a first glimpse at the campaign and El Presidente’s journey from a humble colonial governor serving the British Crown to the ruler of his own island. A modest career move, really – especially for someone who has always believed that “governor” sounds much better with a crown.
Players will build and shape Tropico, navigate rival political factions, issue edicts, and make decisions that influence the future of their island. From serving the Crown to pursuing their own ambitions, El Presidente’s rise to power offers plenty of opportunities to write history on his terms (as always!), with his own portrait on every wall, plastered across billboards and posters throughout the island, statues erected in his honor, and a conveniently edited version of history in the books.
But El Presidente’s ambitions do not go unnoticed. Among those standing in his way is Victoria Guerra, a determined revolutionary with her own ideas about Tropico’s future. And while her plans remain unclear for now, one thing is certain: El Presidente’s path to power will not be without opposition. Or criticism. Or suspiciously well-organised citizens gathering in the town square
Because on Tropico, every alliance has an expiration date – and every crisis is an opportunity. Especially if the crisis can be blamed on the previous administration, a foreign power or, in truly desperate times, the weather.
Tropico 7 will be available on January 28th, 2027 with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation®5. The Tropico 7 – Special Edition will be available for Nintendo Switch™ 2, featuring mouse controls for Joy-Con™ 2 controllers and GameChat functionality.
Tropico 7 Features:
Lead your nation to new heights: Tropico 7 tells El Presidente’s continuous success story across 5 campaign maps – starring himself, Penultimo and a new nemesis: Victoria Guerra.
More is more: Archipelagos, with the biggest islands ever in the series, await your rule, expanded with 10 extra scenarios, more than 20 sandbox maps, and endless possibilities with a random map generator.
Move mountains – literally: Erase them, create beaches, or even create entirely new islands! The new terraforming feature brings your megalomaniac dreams to life. Start that mammoth project – NOW!
Bollocks uhm… Politics: Navigate the snares and pits of internal politics, when you summon the different factions to your council, a new way to meet them face to face while you pulverize their dreams – or use them for a BIG DEAL to your own advantage.
Make the world your playground: Elections, election speeches and a vast portfolio of edicts depending on your political standing spice up your daily rule while you juggle foreign affairs and occasionally steal… uhm relocate a landmark to revel in its benefits.
Built to prosper: Strategically place buildings to make use of synergy effects, keep citizen satisfaction high, and fill any unused plots of land with beautiful parks in a freely customized size.
Generalissimo No. 1: Eliminate those pesky rebels and fend off foreign threats with a reworked military system enabling more direct control of your military units.
Always judge a book by its cover: Customize the appearance of your palace and El Presidente with new and creative options.
Wartales, the medieval open-world tactical RPG with more than 1MM units sold from developer Shiro Games, strikes at the heart of the Empire with the launch of its Contract: Fires in the Capital DLC, now available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Chart a course for the glorious city of Isandrin, the heart of the Empire, now under the control of a new leader. General Maxime’s sweeping reforms have thrown the capital into unrest, and tensions between rival factions have reached a boiling point. Set to work restoring order as chaos spreads through Isandrin’s streets.
Track ruthless brigands, tear down propaganda posters, and gambol through districts as traveling bards to influence the population. Quell riots started by unruly citizens and calm residents to restore thriving trade. Every action the warband takes in Isandrin has rippling effects, changing the flow of commerce and the stability of districts.
When diplomacy fails, take to the streets in urban combat scenarios shaped by the surging havoc. Chase down fleeing criminals before they can escape and destabilize neighborhoods, escort vulnerable convoys of crucial goods through burning streets, and rescue civilians trapped by violence and destruction.
“Contract: Fires in the Capital is unlike any other setting we’ve explored in Wartales, which has always taken place on the frontiers of civilization,” said Quentin Lapeyre, Game Director at Shiro Games. “In this expansion, we’re throwing warbands into unfamiliar territory where society watches their every move and responds accordingly – sometimes in unexpected ways.”
Wartales – Contract: Fires in the Capital is available now on Xbox consoles and on PC via Steam and GOG, for $12.99 | £10.99 | €12.99. The DLC includes English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Korean-language support.
