Dynasty Warriors: Origins release date
Koei Tecmo has officially revealed the release date for Dynasty Warriors Origins, set to launch on January 17, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.

Lego Horizon Adventures
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
This one’s been floating around the rumor mill for a while, and it’s finally official. Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is landing on the PS5 and PC on October 31.
The original, which dropped in 2017, already set a high bar with its stunning visuals, so it’s a bit of a head-scratcher that Sony is pushing for a remaster. Still, fans can expect some next-gen polish, even if the game didn’t exactly need it.
Fantasian Neo Dimension release date
This is a turn-based JRPG from the father of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi. Teaming up with Nobuo Uematsu, the duo is teaming up for an original story that features some beautifully hand-crafted environments as you embark on a “multi-dimensional journey to reclaim your lost memories and save the world from the mechteria infection.”
Fantasian Neo Dimension releases on December 5.
