During the last E3 2015, Square Enix announced that another NieR game is going to be released in the future. Not much has been said about the game in the past few months, other than the fact that the game is being developed by Platinum Games, the team behind several excellent action games such as Bayonetta and its sequel, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, The Wonderful 101 and others. A few days ago the game’s official name, which will be NieR Automata, has been revealed and new details on the game have started coming in thanks to the latest issues of popular Japanese magazines. Today, Square Enix has also launched a NieR Automata website.

NieR Automata is going to feature an action based experience, with players being able to control multiple characters that are unlocked with each playthrough.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
