Okay, so it’s a little confusing! The blog said it’s out *now*, but the official Final Fantasy post says we can actually get it starting December 4th. I’m hoping to pre-order it soon – they said it’ll be available on the Square Enix store and at some other retailers. I’m also really curious if the Episode Intermission content for the Remake is still a digital code, or if it’s now included on the disc itself – they haven’t said anything about that yet!

Sackbird is a newly formed game development studio. It was created by developers who lost their jobs when ZeniMax Online Studios cancelled their unreleased MMO, codenamed Project Blackbird, in June 2025.

I’m really enjoying Absolum! It’s a modern take on those classic beat-’em-ups from the early days of video games – you know, the ones you fed quarters to at the arcade. Those games were designed to be super replayable, but also pretty tough, to keep you coming back for more. Honestly, that difficulty really works with the roguelike elements in Absolum. It just *feels* right, and it makes the game incredibly fun to play again and again. I can’t get enough of it!

As a fan of this game, I’ve found there’s a really helpful way to approach this boss that makes the fight much more manageable – basically, a way to get a little boost beforehand. It’s something you’ll want to figure out pretty early on, though, because like most roguelikes, you can’t backtrack, so choosing your path wisely from the start is key!

So, NPC Studio just dropped their plans for Fields of Mistria on X, and it looks like Update 4 is coming out early 2026, which will finally wrap up the story in The Mines. They haven’t given a specific date yet, but they said the full 1.0 version of the game should be released sometime in 2026, and they’ve given us a peek at a lot of the cool stuff they’re working on!
