Another news-full week behind us, with new releases, first looks, and partnerships you never expected but probably should have. Let’s dive into what stirred the newsrooms on the last few days.
The new releases you should absolutely keep you eye on are Life is Strange: True Colors and a new entry in the long-running jRPG series, Tales of Arise, both story-oriented experiences.

Meanwhile on September 14th Deathloop finally comes out of the time loop and will let us Groundhog Day ourselves through a series of elaborate assassinations.
