Sega Reveals New “Fog Gaming” Program, Will Use Arcade Machines Somehow

Thanks to some Japanese-language news sources, we now know the nature of the big Sega reveal that was teased for this week's Famitsu.

‘Slay the Spire’ Finally Launching on iOS this Month, Will Cost $9.99 and Be the Same as the PC Version
