Dragon Quest VIII 3DS New Screenshots Showcase Extra Scenario And More
Dragon Quest VIII, the eight main entry of the long running role playing game series originally released on PlayStation 2 years ago, is going to be released in two months on Nintendo 3DS in Japan. The new version of the game is going to include two party members who were previously NPCs in the original release and a few new extra scenarios that will shed some light on the game’s characters and motivations. One of these scenarios has been showcased by a new batch of screenshots released today.
The new Dragon Quest VIII 3DS screenshots, which can be found by going at the end of this post, showcase the new story scenario called Dhoulmagus’ Past which will shed some light on the villain’s past.
Earlier this month new Dragon Quest VIII 3DS gameplay footage has surfaced online. The footage showcased some of the new version’s additions as well as a new Slime monster, new blue chests that will respawn over time and more.
Dragon Quest VIII 3DS is going to be a massive game, as all those who have played the original release surely know. Game producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto has revealed this month that the game won’t feature 3D support because it would have required double the memory and it would have been difficult to implement visible enemies on the field with the inclusion of the 3D effect.
While Dragon Quest VIII 3DS has yet to be confirmed for the West, another Dragon Quest game is going to be released this year in North America and Europe. Dragon Quest Heroes is a spin-off of the series developed by Omega Force, the team behind the Dynasty Warriors series, and combines features from the Tecmo Koei classic series with other gameplay elements that have been greatly appreciated by Japanese players.
Dragon Quest VIII 3DS will be released in Japan this August. Unfortunately there are no news on a possible Western release of the game but we will keep you updated on the matter as soon as possible so stay tuned for all the latest news on the latest Dragon Quest series remake.

Helldivers 2 has quickly become one of Sony’s top-selling games in the US
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

Will Stellar Blade be available for PC?
It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
