I Played 3 Hours Of RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM And Its New Screaming Enemies Frighten Me

We’ve had monsters chasing us in Resident Evil games, such as Mr. X and Nemesis in Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, respectively. In 2021’s Resident Evil Village, the towering Lady Dimitrescu followed players throughout the castle portion of the game. Capcom has confirmed that the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem’s stalker monster, a grotesque female creature of some sort (which can be seen in the initial reveal trailers), will be more like Lady Dimitrescu, only being a “small part” of the game.

This New Video Game Lets You Play As A Vampire Human Hybrid

In 2022, former CD Projekt employees founded Rebel Wolves, a new studio aiming to make dark fantasy games. With developers holding years of experience under the phenomenal The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077, it looks like Rebel Wolves is poised for success.

The studio's first game, The Blood of Dawnwalker, was first revealed in January this year. Its dark fantasy medieval setting is filled with vampires, monsters, and other haunted creatures, that is quite an aesthetic departure from what these developers created before.

Battlefield 6 hands-on: Four hours of play brings back the old days

In recent years, the Battlefield series has experimented with its various settings, including both World Wars in Battlefield 1 and V as well as the near future in Battlefield 2042. But EA is returning to a modern setting with Battlefield 6. After four hours of hands-on time with this new entry, it seems very much like a continuation of the modern warfare of Battlefield 3 and 4, which were arguably the peaks of the franchise’s popularity.

Persona 5: The Phantom X Makes Smart Changes to the Traditional Persona Formula

Persona 5 was released almost a decade ago in Japan. Since then, we've had many spin-offs: Persona 5 Strikers, Persona 5 Tactica, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth. I'm surprised we haven't had a Persona 5 spin-off fighting game. While the whole world is waiting for even the slightest crumb of Persona 6, there's yet another Persona 5 spin-off coming.

Enter Persona5: The Phantom X, a free-to-play mobile spin-off of Persona 5.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Is Shaping Up to Be One of Atlus' Best Games

I spent three hours playing the remaster's first two chapters, and it's shaping up to be one of Atlus' best games, especially from a combat angle. Aside from Persona 5 Strikers, Atlus is known for its turn-based combat, but Raidou takes the opposite route and has real-time action. It's a departure from what recent Atlus fans are used to, but it's a welcome one after years of creating turn-based games.

Step Into the Past with DOOM: THE DARK AGES Prequel Sneak Peek

The highly anticipated third installment of the modern Doom trilogy is on its way this year. This time around, we'll be following our hulking Doom Slayer protagonist to the Middle Ages as he slays more monsters and demons than ever before. Doom: The Dark Ages is a prequel, making it the perfect starting point for newcomers, but veterans won't feel left out either.
FANGORIA got a sneak peek at Doom: The Dark Ages before the Xbox Developer Direct 2025 today, January 23. Game director Hugo Martin a...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is perfect mix of classic and new

When Ubisoft released Assassin’s Creed Origins in 2017, it seemed like the franchise was at the start of a transformation. While previous entries focused much more on stealth, Origins started to move in a more action-focused direction with a major emphasis on open-world exploration. 2018’s Odyssey and 2020’s Valhalla continued the trend and refined its combat mechanics, which cemented Assassin’s Creed as an action RPG series.
