New Retail Releases: Divinity: Original Sin II, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Yakuza Kiwami 2, More
Publishers usually wait until September to get going on the Fall gaming avalanche, but it looks like the last week of August gets that honor this year. More than a dozen new game releases will make their way to store shelves over the next seven days, and gamers are excited about almost all of them.
Larian Studios will start things off with the release of their latest RPG, Divinity: Original Sin II – Definitive Edition, for the PS4 and Xbox One. After that, we move on to a ton of old games in new places, including Sega’s Yakuza Kiwami 2 for the PS4, and three new-old games for the Switch (Capcom’s Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, THQ Nordic’s De Blob 2, and Haemimont’s Victor Vran: Overkill Edition).
Fans of the beautiful game get another shot at the goal with the launch of Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 for the PS4 and Xbox One.
And fighting games push their way to the forefront with Blade Strangers (PS4, Switch), Nicalis’s crazy crossover brawler; Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker (PS4, Xbox One), Bandai Namco’s latest adaptation of the popular anime series; and Fire Pro Wrestling World (PS4), Spike Chunsoft’s latest wrestling opus.
Finally this wekk, a few critically-acclaimed games are being re-released in new editions with extra features including Rocket League: Ultimate Edition (PS4, Switch, Xbox One) and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War – Definitive Edition (PS4, Xbox One).
You can find the complete list of this week’s new retail releases after the break. (more…)

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Night Trap, Blade Strangers, more coming to Nintendo eShop this week
Nintendo surprise-launched three games for the Nintendo eShop earlier this week at Gamescom 2018, and that was on top of an already packed lineup for the week…
Whether you got the chance to attend Europe’s biggest gaming event or not, every Switch owner got the chance to download Prison Architect: Nintendo Switch Edition, a prison management simulation from Introversion; Bad North, a minimalist real-time strategy game from Plausible Concept; and Morphies Law, a multiplayer shooter where players can change their size to gain an advantage.
Also available this week is Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, a Switch re-release of the monster-hunting game Capcom originally released for the 3DS in 2015. And speaking of unexpected relaunches, Screaming Villains is bringing Night Trap: 25th Anniversary Edition to the Switch this week… even after former Nintendo Vice President Howard Lincoln vowed the game would never appear on a Nintendo console. The colorful puzzle platformer De Blob 2 will also make its way to the Switch this week after originally debuting on the Wii in 2011.
Further down this week’s eShop update we find Blade Strangers, a crossover fighting game from Studio Saizensen and Nicalis; Little Dragons Cafe, a cafe management and dragon-raising simulation; and Victor Vran: Overkill Edition, a Diablo-like action RPG.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Nintendo eShop (including Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, Kero Blaster, Space Ribbon, and more) after the break. (more…)

Wipeout Omega Collection, Perception, Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind, more added to PS Store this week
The PlayStation Store is racing for the future with this week’s update…
First up is the Wipeout: Omega Collection, a new PS4 compilation featuring the last two games in the series. The futuristic racing franchise may have faded away in 2012, but Sony is hoping that fans will want to replay Wipeout HD, its Fury expansion, and Wipeout 2048 one more time with enhanced graphics and sound.
Also available to download this week is a different kind of racing game from Codemasters. The publisher has relaunched its off-road racing series with Dirt 4 for the PS4. Including more than 50 vehicles and an almost unlimited number of routes, Dirt 4 will keep fans busy for quite a while. And speaking of dedicated fans, Bethesda is returning to the island of Vvardenfell for new adventures in The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind for the PS4.
Finally this week, PS4 players will get the chance to download the Diablo-like Victor Vran and Perception, a first-person narrative adventure created by a team of developers who previously worked on BioShock and Dead Space. Telltale will also launch Guardians of the Galaxy – Episode 2: Under Pressure, the newest episode in their Marvel adaptation.
You can learn more about all of these games (and nearly a dozen other new releases) after the break. (more…)

New Retail Releases: Tekken 7, Star Trek Bridge Crew, Victor Vran, More
Bandai Namco’s convoluted tale of corporate intrigue, sentient bears, multi-generational demonic possession, and a martial arts tournament is coming to a close this week with the release of Tekken 7 on the PS4 and Xbox One (a PC download will also be available). If you’ve ever wanted to know how the “Devil Gene” changed the Mishima clan, this is your chance.
Also new on store shelves this week is Star Trek: Bridge Crew, a PlayStation VR-powered simulation that asks players to pilot their own Federation starship. Like Tekken 7, it too will also be available as a PC download, in versions compatible with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
Returning to Earth, THQ Nordic and Haemimont Games will release Victor Vran: Overkill Edition, a Diablo-like overhead action RPG, for the PS4 and Xbox One. In addition to the original PC game, the Overkill Edition will also come packaged with the Motorhead: Through the Ages and Fractured Worlds expansions.
THQ Nordic will also bring Lock’s Quest to the PS4 and Xbox One this week. Originally released for the DS in 2008, this new version of Lock’s Quest includes revamped graphics and sound.
Finally this week, Kalypso will release Tropico 5: Complete Collection for the Xbox One. The colonial city builder will include the original game as well as all ten expansions (The Big Cheese, Mad World, Generalissimo, Joint Venture, Surf’s Up, Gone Green, Supervillian, Inquisition, Super Computer, and T-Day).
That’s it for the New Retail Releases report, but we’ll be back throughout the week with a look at the latest additions to the PlayStation Store, Xbox Games Store, and Nintendo eShop.
