REPLACED Interview: Devs Talk About the Upcoming Cyberpunk Game That Lit Up E3 2021

REPLACED made a big splash at E3 2021, and for good reason — the upcoming cinematic platformer oozes cool, from its gorgeous 2.5D pixelated art aesthetic to the promise of a thrilling cyberpunk story set in a grim dystopia. The brilliantly directed trailer depicted a tantalizing and mysterious gaming experience that we here at Twinfinite have been making a song and dance over ever since. Naturally, the opportunity to speak with developer Sad Cat Studios was one we are hugely excited about. Already this week we’ve published a feature titled

Lamentum Release Date Announced for This Summer

Lamentum’s release date has just been revealed, and it is scheduled for this summer on Aug. 31. It is a 3D pixel horror game starring Victor Hartwell and his quest to save his wife. In Lamentum, Victor enters the mysterious Grau Hill mansion and explores the many floors within, encountering hideous monsters along the way, Exploring these rooms also opens up the ability to gain weapons and defend himself. From what the trailer showcases, the atmosphere is dark and gruesome but also strangely colorful. The art style is very appealing

Black Skylands Is the Sky Pirate Fantasy Life Sim I Never Knew I Needed

The sky pirate aesthetic was popularized in the video game world when Final Fantasy XII was released back in 2006. It’s an appealing idea that’s been explored in books and other media with steampunk settings, but it’s not one that we often see in video games. Indie developing studio Hungry Couch wants to change that with their new game, Black Skylands, and this ambitious project is looking very promising so far. Black Skylands takes place in a world where the lands have splintered into tons of different floating islands in

REPLACED Aims to Deliver a Cinematic But Thought-Provoking Cyberpunk Experience

It is, perhaps, indicative of Microsoft’s still-limited selection of upcoming Xbox and PC first-party titles that, for many, the most notable takeaway from its E3 2021 showcase was a side-scrolling platformer from a small Belorussian indie developer called Sad Cat Studios. But then again, REPLACED is incredibly good-looking. It catches the eye with the same stylish 2.5D aesthetic that had folks excited about The Last Night back in 2017, and its cleverly directed trailer exudes a similarly engrossing cyberpunk ambiance — one that has seen me rewatch it time and

Final Fantasy V & VI to Be Removed from Steam Next Month

Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI have been available on the Steam storefront for quite some time now, but it looks like Square Enix will be delisting them next month. This doesn’t come as a surprise, considering that the Pixel Remaster was announced during E3, which is a project consisting of 2D remasters of the first six Final Fantasy games. In fact, the games have already been taken down in certain regions. The Steam description for both games now include the following: “This game will no longer be available

Final Fantasy V and VI Will Vanish From Steam To Make Room For Pixel Remaster

[embedded content] Square Enix allegedly just leaked some new details about the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster by accident. A now-private video puts the release date for the first title in this collection sometime in July. Supporting this is the fact that the remasters of Final Fantasy V and VI will be removed from Steam by the end of July, and in both cases, the Steam pages contain notices that say users should purchase the Pixel Remaster instead. Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is a compilation of the first six games in

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Begins Launch in July

After unveiling Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster at its E3 2021 showcase with very little details, a recent presentation (as reported by Gematsu) by Square Enix has confirmed that the titles will begin releasing in July.

Interestingly enough, series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi was present along with composer Nobuo Uematsu and producer Yoshinori Kitase. The trio discussed the development of each game and the stories behind them. It was also

Final Fantasy IX Reportedly Set to Become An Animated Series

Credit: Square Enix While E3 may have been bereft of news about Final Fantasy XVI or the next part of Final Fantasy VII Remake, the last few days have had a lot of Final Fantasy news overall. The latest rumor is that Final Fantasy IX is getting an animated adaptation — or at least, a studio is in the early stages of putting together an idea for the show and is pitching it to broadcasters. The report comes from Kidscreen, which says that the show is being developed by Cyber
