Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a remake of Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. It will return players to where the long-running Trails series began. The game follows adoptive siblings Joshua and Estelle Bright, who join the Bracers peacekeeping organization. They're soon caught up in an international conspiracy and must join forces with various other characters to thwart a deadly coup. While it will maintain the same plot as the PS3 version, it uses the same engine as the latest entry in the series, Trails Through Daybreak, and will feature an all-new English voice acting class. There will also be a long list of gameplay changes, the most notable being the inclusion of two battle systems--one is a revised version of the original version's turn-based combat, and the other is a real-time system, and you'll be able to swap between on the fly.

EA Sports hasn't even officially announced College Football 26, but now more details about the game have emerged from an unexpected source. The home improvement chain Lowe's has announced a collaboration with EA Sports to feature its branding in CFB 26, along with the newest EA Sports FC and Madden NFL titles.

Lowe's branding will appear in these games "across multiple gameplay experiences," the retailer said. For CFB 26, Lowe's branding will show up on the broadcast overlay for the Stadium Pulse feature. This feature aims to replicate the pressure of playing an away game by making certain gameplay elements more difficult for a short period of time. Lowe's said this draws "meaningful parallels to the passion homeowners feel when enhancing their own spaces with Lowe's."

"Today, we bid him a fond farewell. You taught us, you gave advice, you cared for us. Kaer Morhen will never be the same without you. Godspeed, dear old friend," CD Projekt said in a social media post. This was accompanied by a video of some memorable Vesemir moments from The Witcher 3, including the character's own death in the game and Geralt saying he died like a hero.

Baldur's Gate 3's months-in-the-making Patch 8 update is just around the corner, with developer Larian Studios officially revealing it will arrive April 15.

The update is a big one, adding 12 new subclasses (one for each class), cross-play between platforms, a photo mode, split-screen co-op for those playing on Xbox Series S (originally one of the reasons the game didn't come to Xbox at launch), and a number of smaller tweaks and bug fixes.

As detailed by Larian, once Patch 8 is out, those looking to form an adventuring party without boundaries will need to enable cross-play under the game's multiplayer settings. From there, those looking to play together on different platforms will need to add each other's Larian account name to their in-game friend's list. Players will then be able to create a cross-play multiplayer lobby and invite people accordingly. One interesting wrinkle noted by Larian is that if the person hosting the lobby is playing on PC and joined by those playing on consoles or Mac, the lobby host will need to have less than 100 mods installed and only include mods accepted on consoles and Mac.

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition seem like they could be the most technically ambitious games coming to Nintendo Switch 2. But neither surprised Digital Foundry as much as Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws--an open-world title that is current-gen only and never arrived on PS4 and Xbox One.

Digital Foundry technology editor Richard Leadbetter opened up the discussion about Star Wars Outlaws on Switch 2 on this week's DF Direct podcast (seen below). "I think this one's quite surprising, to be honest, Star Wars Outlaws," said Leadbetter. "This is like a technologically demanding game on the new Snowdrop engine for Ubisoft Massive. The concept that it's running on this class of hardware is pretty mind-blowing, I'd say."

Leadbetter wasn't alone, as the rest of the crew seemed quite intrigued by Ubisoft bringing Star Wars Outlaws to Switch 2. In fact, Digital Foundry contributor Oliver Mackenzie called it "a really exciting port, possibly an impossible port, if you will." That's because it's such a large game utilizing features like ray tracing. Plus, there isn't say a PS4 edition, while other third-party titles like Elden Ring and Street Fighter 6 did come to last-gen consoles.

The Tomb Raider series for Prime Video was greenlit under the leadership of Amazon MGM Studios boss Jennifer Salke, but Salke recently exited the company amid reports of a power struggle. Salke was said to be personally overseeing the Tomb Raider series, and now that she's out, the series may be gone, too.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition does not include the content from the Wii U and Switch original's expansion pass.

Nintendo confirmed this with GameSpot in a statement, saying, "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition does not include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass DLC. That DLC is available as a separate purchase." The news was first discovered by Reddit user raptormelonsite (via Nintendo Soup) , who got word from My Nintendo Store UK's support team.

Following its launch in March 2017, Breath of the Wild received two DLCs tied to its expansion pack. The Master Trials' DLC added a Trial of the Sword challenge for players to complete, Hero's Path and Master modes, a travel medallion to simplify fast travel, and more.

On the performance side, Bethesda explained that the game will benefit from numerous technical features, like frictionless loading, selective installation, and SSD optimization on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The game targets a stable 60fps on PS5 consoles, and if you find yourself stumped by any of the puzzles, you can consult the Community Game Help hub for tips on how to progress through certain sections.
