Play as Miyamoto on Switch 2 (not that one). Capcom is having a massive 2026, with hits like Pragmata, Resident Evil Requiem, and Monster Hunter Stories 3. The studio is now closing out the year with another highly anticipated game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. I spent almost three hours playing Way of the Sword, splitting my time between the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions. I came away incredibly impressed by the feel of the game, as well as the performance on Nintendo’s handheld.

Tonally mercurial co-op shooter Helldivers 2 is boosting its level cap, again, in another hint that something big is brewing in the blackness of its endlessly war-torn galaxy. Following a previous increase from 50 to 150, developers Arrowhead are bumping the cap to level 300 in an upcoming patch, with any XP that you would have gained since hitting the previous limit set to apply retroactively. I wonder if any dive-happy souls out there have banked enough well-done points to instantly jump from ...

Chase & Seek. If you're in the market for some asymmetric multiplayer horror gaming but things like Dead By Daylight come on a little strong/terrifying for your taste, Free Style's Obakeidoro 2: Chase & Seek might be more up your street.

Obakeidoro casts you as either Monster or Human and gives the Monster(s) three minutes to chase and catch everyone else in a take...

Ooh, Big Man are we? Famitsu has provided the latest look at the Japanese boxed charts, and despite dropping down from 474,684 units during its launch week to 73,542 units this week (roughly 84% decrease), Splatoon Raiders is still commanding a pretty healthy lead. This is followed by Rhythm Heaven Groove at 59,884, and we honestly wouldn't be surprised to see both titles hit 1 million in the region over the coming weeks and months. Elsewhere, we've got a lot of new titles this week, but Tomodac...
