Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden, the fighting game developed by Arc System Works released two months ago in Japan on Nintendo 3DS, looks like one of the best games based on the popular anime and manga series created by Akira Toriyama. North American and European gamers still have to wait a few months before being able to play the game but it seems like they will soon be able to get a first taste of it.

A few minutes ago Bandai Namco has confirmed on its official Twitter profile that the Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden playable demo is going to be released on the US 3DS eShop later this week, on August 6th. We don’t what the demo will include but it’s safe to assume that it will be just like the Japanese one, which includes playable characters Goku, Kid Gohan, Vegeta, and Majin Buu, and assist characters Tien, Recoome, Korin, Turtle, Super Uub, Mercenary Tao, Hercule, and The Great Saiyaman. Save data from the Japanese demo also allows players to unlock Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku in the full game so it should be the same for the Western release as well.

Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden also includes a couple of Z-assist characters that have to be unlocked through unique methods. Last month it’s been confirmed that Yakon is among these characters. The character can be unlocked for the Japanese version of the game through a special promotion, with players having to scan a bar-code found on specific promotional material of the game with their consoles. We have no idea how the character will be unlocked in the Western release but we should hear more about the matter really soon.

Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is now available in Japan exclusively on Nintendo 3DS. The game will be released on October 16th in Europe, Middle-East and Australia and on October 20th in North America.

PAYDAY 3 Developer Announces D&D Live Service Multiplayer

The Starbreeze cooperative multiplayer game Project Baxter is expected to follow PAYDAY. The official Dungeons & Dragons logo is on Starbreeze. However, we do not expect the studio to revere RPG settings like Larian did with Baldur’s Gate 3.

Starbreeze will develop and publish Project Baxter in 2026 for all major platforms. The company says it “will carry the signature Starbreeze game cornerstones of cooperative multiplayer, lifetime commitment through a Games as a Service model, community engagement, and a larger than life experience.”

Forgive the skepticism, but PAYDAY 3, Starbreeze’s latest release, lagged behind due to server issues that the CEO had to apologize for, taking two months to release the heist shooter’s first patch. It’s a disappointing story that may have gone unnoticed in a year with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Kong: Rise of Skull Island, and The Walking Dead: Destinies.

Would you like a Starbreeze multiplayer live service D&D game? Is this to capitalize on the setting’s moment between Baldur’s Gate and the surprising good Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves?

Free Soccer Simulator Finally More Single Player on eFootball, But Not Like League

Konami promised that free-to-play soccer sim eFootball would add PES’ massively popular Master League mode, but while this month’s v3.20 update will add more solo content, you’ll have to wait. My League lets you play full seasons as a single player with changing weather and exclusive rewards to reduce the wait.

You’ll replace a real team from your league, like England or Italy. The gacha system unlocks players that you’ll use to fight the AI and win the table. Play through the mode as many times as you want, with custom cutscenes and other features to track your progress. It all seems like a way to make dream team gameplay appealing to offline players.

Online play is also getting better. A new tier system will match you with players of similar skill levels, and co-op will soon let you join strangers instead of friends. You can use emojis to discuss your matches’ successes and failures or strategize with new allies.

We assume new cards with perks will allow Konami to create “rarer” versions of players when they perform certain real-life feats. A new login feature will include a penalty-taking minigame where you must score a goal to climb a ladder and unlock in-game rewards like virtual currency. For now, that’s it.

The critically panned game improves, but not as fast as former PES fans would like. The gameplay is good, and there are more things to do, but without that meaty single-player mode, old-school franchise fans will always rank it lower. Konami should revive one of the best solo sports game modes soon.

We expected it to be big, but this big? Only ten hours after Rockstar unceremoniously released GTA 6’s trailer after an unexpected leak, it has over 50 million views. This video is the top trending video on YouTube worldwide, ignoring mirrors from IGN and Gamespot.

This could reach 100 million by the end of the day as it’s shared worldwide and fans search for Easter eggs and secrets. How many times have you seen the new trailer?
