Once Alive – Official Release Date Gameplay Trailer

Solo developer Cem Boray Yıldırım and publisher GameDev.ist have announced that Once Alive, a story-driven, first-person adventure game, is now available on Steam. A demo of the game is also available.

Once Alive is an immersive game set sixteen years after humanity’s extinction by a global virus where players control James, who, alongside his brother, believes they are the last survivors—until an invitation to a survivor base, HaustVille, changes everything.

Determined to find others, the brothers abandon everything and travel to HaustVille, but as they arrive, they sense that something is wrong, leading them to question the village’s mysterious emptiness.

With advanced Unreal Engine 5 technology, players explore HaustVille’s eerie environments, uncovering stories through atmospheric details and discovering an increasingly hostile wilderness where heightened aggression in animals adds to the survival challenge.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land – Second Trailer

Today, KOEI TECMO America and developer Gust revealed new details about the gameplay of their upcoming JRPG, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land. Players can also discover new artwork by beloved artist Benitama and catch a glimpse of the adventure that awaits them in a brand-new trailer. Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will be available March 21, 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Windows PC via Steam® and, for the first time in franchise history, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they set off to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed the once great continent of Aladiss, resulting in alchemy becoming taboo. Mysterious characters obsessed with alchemy such as a Noble in a Black Cloak, a Monocular Werewolf, a Sheep-Eye Witch, and a Dragon-Winged Warrior stand in Yumia’s way.

To prepare for the adventure ahead, players will rediscover the Atelier franchise’s signature synthesizing system in a fresh form by manipulating “mana” to create new items useful in combat or exploration. To create more powerful items, fans will have to master the art of “Resonance Synthesis” by adding ingredients which resonate with each other to the “Alchemy Core” of the recipe. The strength of the resonance will depend on the quality of the ingredients selected.

The combat system has also been revamped in Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land to offer intense real-time combat with intuitive gameplay. The skills available to active team members will depend on their distance from the enemy (close or ranged combat). Compared to previous instalments, players can now move or interchange characters at any time during the fight. When certain conditions are met, a powerful “Friend Action” combo can be unleashed in battle. By meeting certain conditions, players will be able to activate “Mana Surge”, which will allow for exclusive actions to be performed. In addition, each character will have a unique special move, “Maximize Mana Surge”, which can inflict significant damage on enemies.

Journeying alongside Yumia and her friends, players will explore the vast open world of the Aladiss continent. As they travel, they will be able to build their own bases. Thanks to the new “Building” feature, fans will freely be able to create and decorate their atelier from a vast choice of walls, floors, roofs, furniture, and more, or choose to select a predefined base model from the catalog. By increasing the “comfort level” of their atelier, players will unlock bonuses such as the ability to develop their base and enhance the skills of Yumia and her companions.

Lastly, if players do not wish to return to their base during exploration, they will be able to set up a camp where they can spend time cooking, which will provide various benefits during exploration and combat, or resting. Certain character events that can only be seen at camps will sometimes occur, providing greater insight into Yumia and her companions.

Everyone who purchases either a physical or digital edition up to two weeks after release will receive the “Athlete of Memories” early purchase costume for Yumia, the “Floating Object of Memories” costume for Flammi, and the unique “Training Wrist Weight” equipment.

In addition to the standard edition, players can pre-order a special physical edition exclusively through the NIS America Store. The PREMIUM BOX includes the base game, Yumia’s precious stuffed animal, an artbook, a set of 6 decorative keychains, a CD with extra tracks, and an official short story and accompanying translation booklet.

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE – Announcement Trailer

Look North World, a pioneering UGC game studio and publisher led by Alexander Seropian, Bungie founder and former Disney executive, and Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc., today launched GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE via Unreal® Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). The game is a competitive, team-based experience available now in Fortnite for all players worldwide on any platform they play Fortnite on.

Inspired by the explosive, gritty new Netflix animated series, “Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance,” GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE allows up to 20 players each match to align with either the Zeon or Earth Federation Forces factions and square off. When a match starts, players select their battlefield and deploy into their respective bases to equip themselves with an arsenal of their choosing. The primary objectives are to engage in tactical combat to secure the valuable MS Reactor Power. Factions are allocated a Cache in proximity to their base, and additional Caches are distributed across the terrain. Players acquire MS Reactor Power from the Caches. Teams must strategically collaborate to collect 200 MS Reactor Power, which then lets them activate their faction’s signature Mobile Suit, be it the Gundam EX or ZAKU II (Unidentified Type) Solari and have a devastating effect on the tide of battle.

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE brings players the ultimate Gundam power fantasy in Fortnite, with access to a massive arsenal of popular weapons in each faction’s armory to maximize combat and robot takedowns while minimizing searching, looting, and traversing. The game is designed to deliver tense combat and thrills across the battlefield, culminating in an immersive, first-person cockpit view as if they were a real Gundam pilot. Players who take the most vengeance on their enemies will climb the global leaderboards and be entered to win Vbucks and Gunpla model kits from Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, with leaderboards resetting each week.

“Look North World specializes in creating premium, interactive experiences that align with what’s currently driving culture. Bandai Namco has raised the bar with Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’ve captured the spirit of the show to create an experience that puts gamers on the battlefield. The experience is available for free in Fortnite, where gamers already love to play. Choose your faction today, and we’ll see you on the scoreboard,” said Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.

“The Gundam series has the most loyal fans, and we’re on a mission to deliver them fresh entertainment and experiences. We’re grateful for the extremely positive reception to Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, and we’re excited to let fans recreate the experience in Fortnite with fast-paced faction combat in GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE.”  said Karim Farghaly, senior vice president of corporate development for Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. “We’re proud of what we’ve created by collaborating with Look North World, and we look forward to seeing players square off against each other in Fortnite’s very own Gundam battlefield.”

GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is available to play now by entering the Fortnite Creative Island code 7089-7797-5952

As part of an ongoing initiative for the GUNDAM Metaverse, GUNDAM: REQUIEM FOR VENGEANCE RED VS BLUE is one of the first major projects based on user-generated content that delivers an incredible dive into the world of Mobile Suit Gundam.
