Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer DigiTales Interactive are thrilled to announce that their narrative 2.5D sci-fi detective adventure Between Horizons has launched for consoles including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch today, September 19th. Aboard the Zephyr, a ship en route to a distant star, players assume the role of Stella, the recently appointed Chief of Security. Dive into the conspiracy behind the incident that threatens to disrupt the Zephyr’s social order and foil its mission.
Between Horizons is a 2.5D pixel art adventure that emphasizes branching narratives, exploration, and investigation. Decades into the Zephyr’s journey, its mission is suddenly jeopardized. Utilize your detective skills to solve problems aboard the ship – while making decisions that impact the overall story. Along the way, you’ll collect clues, connect evidence, and confront the citizens aboard the Zephyr. Can you find the culprit before it’s too late?
Decision-making is at the heart of the experience, with tough choices that ask you to reevaluate your moral compass. But in Between Horizons, the story continues, even if players select the “wrong decision,” adding weight and gravity to each choice. The team at DigiTales has applied numerous lessons from their first game Lacuna and proven solutions to detective game design problems to maximize player agency in the investigation process – all the while maintaining the tight pacing of a meaningful story.
Between Horizons is now available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for $15.99 (with a 25% discount on Nintendo Switch), and is also available on PC via Steam. Stay up to date by following the official DigiTales Interactive Twitter account.

Sega of America and Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) studio have announced the newest entry in the Like a Dragon™ series: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, a modern-day pirate adventure that follows the once-feared legend of the yakuza world, Goro Majima. The game will release worldwide on Friday, February 28, 2025, and will be available on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows and PC (Steam). Players can pre-order various editions of the game across all platforms starting today.
Announced during the latest RGG Summit livestream event, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a brand-new action adventure that follows Goro Majima across land and sea. One year after the events of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth™, Majima washes ashore on a deserted island amid the scattered remnants of a shipwreck. Unable to remember even his own name, Majima travels across the vast ocean in search of clues to piece together his lost identity, accompanied by a boy named Noah who saved his life. Before long, they’re caught up in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.
New Adventures and Play Style
As Majima, players will assemble a one-of-a-kind crew while upgrading their ship, the “Goromaru,” battling enemy pirate ships and conquering seas and hidden islands alike. In combat, players can deliver explosive combos and aerial takedowns by dynamically switching between two fighting styles: dual-wield short swords or deploy pirate tools with the swashbuckling “Sea Dog” style or utilize speed, agility and flair to defeat enemies into submission with the infamous “Mad Dog” style.
Pre-Orders Available Now
Players can pre-order the following versions of the game starting today:
Standard Edition (Digital/Physical)
Deluxe Edition (Digital) – includes DLC customization and character packs.
Collector’s Edition (Physical) – includes the base game, Deluxe Edition DLC Code, and special limited merchandise including a replica of Goro Majima’s eye patch, treasure coin pin, and more. Please visit the official website for further details.
Players who pre-order Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii will receive two bonuses: the “Ichiban Pirate Crew Set” DLC that adds popular Like a Dragon character Ichiban Kasuga and his pet crawfish Nancy to Majima’s crew of “Goro Pirates,” as well as the “Ichiban Special Outfit Set” DLC that allows Majima to change into two of Ichiban Kasuga’s iconic outfits.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the latest in a banner year for the franchise, which saw its most recent mainline entry, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, launch earlier this year. Fans can also look forward to the Amazon Original live-action series Like a Dragon: Yakuza when it launches on Prime Video on October 24, 2024. For players looking to get into the franchise, the Like a Dragon/Yakuza™ series starter bundles are a great way to enjoy each series’ story from the beginning.
NACON and studio Spiders are pleased to present the creative process behind the soundtrack for the narrative RPG GreedFall II: The Dying World, crafted by renowned composer Olivier Derivière in a new Deep Dive video. Originally responsible for the music in the first game, as well as that of A Plague Tale: Innocence and Dying Light 2, the composer collaborated with the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra to record the soundtrack for GreedFall II. The game will be released in early access on Steam on 24 September, 2024.
While the first GreedFall focused on the discovery of the world of Teer Fradee, exploring more natural sounds, including a strong drum presence, Olivier Derivière had the soundscape evolve to match the change in context and environment experienced by players. In the cities of Gacane, the Old continent, players are immersed in very different cultures, where Venetian art for example, which is characteristic of the Baroque period, has a strong presence. These elements have influenced the music, which is highly orchestral and in which the guitar plays a central role.
In addition, GreedFall II features adaptive music, which changes according to players’ actions, whether in combat or based on decisions made, which have a real impact on the unfolding of the story and quests. GreedFall II’s soundtrack takes advantage of the early access format, as players’ feedback may be taken into account to evolve certain aspects of the music.
