<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/genre/horror/" title="Switch Horror Games">Horror game</a> publisher Feardemic has revealed the launch date for the award-winning game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/papetura/">Papetura on Nintendo Switch</a>. Feardemic announced they would release Papetura for the Nintendo console on December 1.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/papetura/">Papetura first came out for PC</a> and Mac in 2021. It garnered positive reviews and several awards after its release.</p> 
 
<p>The game also marked Feardemic's decision to explore more genres. <q>Instead of a terrifying fright ride, (it) is an atmospheric adventure game,</q> Feardemic wrote in a press statement released on November 17.</p>
 
<p>In Papetura, players take control of two protagonists named Pape and Tura. Both characters live in a paper-based world, and they need to save it from burning down.</p>
 
<p>Indie developer Tomasz 'Petums' Ostafin worked on the game for around six years. Ostafin, who is from Poland, used real paper models to visualize the fictional world, according to Feardemic.</p>
 
<p><q>Papetura is a labor of love and a love letter to both the craft of paper modeling and to old-school adventure games,</q> they said. The game will also feature "fragile music" from Floex to set the players' mood while exploring the paper-based fantasy.</p>
 
<p>Papetura received multiple accolades from award-giving bodies. These included "Excellence in Visual Art" for the Independent Games Festival.</p>
 
<p>It also got the Best Art, Best Audio, and Indie Grand Prix awards at the 2021 Pixel Awards Europe. The Central and Eastern European Awards also named Papetura the winner of their Visual Art and Hidden Gem categories.</p>
 
<p>Players can find a complete list of the game's awards and recognition on their Steam page. Upon its release, players can purchase Papetura on Nintendo Switch eShop for $9.99.</p>

<p>Shintaro Kanaoya, CEO of <a href="https://chorusworldwide.com/">Chorus Worldwide</a>, said the game impressed them after playing its demo on the first try. He also said they immediately saw its potential.</p> 
 
<p><q>This beautiful, haunting, and enjoyably playable adventure will stay in gamers’ hearts for a long time,</q> said Kanaoya. <q>We’re so excited to work with Juan (Fandiño) and the Maboroshi team to bring the game to life,</q> he added.</p>

<p><q>I decided to take all the conflicting emotions I had inside and try to make something useful with them,</q> Fandiño explained.</p>
 
<p>The developer added that he hoped the coming-of-age game would also help gamers who went through the same difficult phase in life.</p>

Chorus Worldwide Will Release Last Time I Saw You in 2024

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/gravity-interactive-inc/">Gravity Interactive</a> has released <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/ragnarok-begins-west/">Ragnarok Begins</a>, the newest cross-platform title in the popular MMORPG series. The California-based game developer and publisher rolled out Ragnarok Begins for PC and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/ragnarok-begins-west/">mobile</a> on November 15 (EST).</p>
 
<p>However, as of the moment, only players in North America can experience its cross-platform functionality. In a press release, Gravity Interactive said that PC players around the world could download the game. But they added that only players from the US and Canada could access its mobile version.</p>
 
<p><q>The cross-platform title is available globally for players on PC as well as on mobile for players in North America,</q> they wrote.</p>
 
<p>Gravity Interactive has yet to announce more details about the game for mobile players outside North America.</p> 
 
<p>Ragnarok Begins happens to be the first side-scrolling game of the Ragnarok franchise. It is also based on the Ragnarok IP.</p>
 
<p>As a prequel of the series, it will take players to the early ages of Midgard. To be exact, 100 years before the events of Ragnarok Origin. In it, they will find themselves caught in a crossfire between worshippers of Odin and worshippers of Freya.</p>
 
<p>The game's main storyline involves the disappearance of the Pope of Arunafeltz.</p>
 
<p><q>And it's up to players to work together to uncover the secrets and mysteries surrounding the Pope's disappearance as well as what is hidden at the heart of Midgard,</q> developers said.</p>
 
<p>Like all other titles in the Ragnarok series, the 2.5D <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/genre/mmorpg/">MMORPG</a> comes in a chibi art style.</p>
 
<p>Gravity Interactive dropped the first trailer of Ragnarok Begins on YouTube last October. A few days later, they held a closed beta test that lasted seven days.</p>
 
<p>They revealed the game's launch date last November 5.</p>

The Game Awards 2022 Nominations Revealed

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tactics-ogre-reborn/">Tactics Ogre: Reborn</a>, the reimagined version of the classic <a href="https://whatoplay.com/best/rpg/">RPG</a> hit, has landed on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tactics-ogre-reborn/" title="Tactics Ogre Reborn on PC">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/tactics-ogre-reborn/" title="Tactics Ogre Reborn on Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tactics-ogre-reborn/" title="Tactics Ogre Reborn on PS4">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/tactics-ogre-reborn/" title="Tactics Ogre Reborn on PS5">PlayStation 5</a>. Japanese gaming firm <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a> launched Tactics Ogre: Reborn on November 10. It is the second remake of the 27-year-old, turn-based tactical game.</p> 
 
<p><q>(Tactics Ogre: Reborn brings) to life a new experience that Tactics Ogre veterans and a new generation of gamers alike will enjoy,</q> Square Enix said.</p>
 
<p>As a remake, the game features several enhancements in its graphics, gameplay mechanics, and soundtrack. These include an all-new user interface and an overhauled battle system. Moreover, developers have added fully-voiced cutscenes in English and Japanese. They also remastered the sound effects and re-recorded live the game's background music.</p>
 
<p>The class-wide level management system has been replaced with a unit-by-unit level system. In turn, players can Theorycraft 'endless combinations of classes, equipment, skills, and magic.'</p>
 
<p>Tactics Ogre: Reborn's latest version also allows players to backtrack their moves, a feature not found in the previous remake.</p>
 
<p>Developers have introduced the World Tarot, which they can use to go back to a specific point in the story. With the World Tarot, players can choose a different route than the one they took earlier.</p>
 
<p>Tactics Ogre: Reborn first came out in Japan in 1995 for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nintendo/">Nintendo</a>'s Super Famicom console as Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. Super Famicom is known outside Japan as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System">Super Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)</a>.</p>
 
<p>The second game in the Ogre Battle series, made by the now-defunct Quest Corporation, proved to be a critical success.</p>
 
<p>Its storied development and release also received wide attention. In 1995, several creators and developers, including director Yatsumi Matsuno, left Quest. Their departure from Quest came just months after the game's release.</p> 
 
<p>Matsuno and the other key developers of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together then produced Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story for Square.</p>
 
<p>In 2002, Square acquired Quest. In turn, employees from the second company met up with former coworkers who had moved to the first company.</p>
 
<p>Matsuno, however, left Square in 2005. However, in 2010, he returned as a freelancer to make the PlayStation Portable (PSP) remake of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.</p>

2nd remake to the 30-year-old classic RPG

Tactics Ogre: Reborn Released for PC, Switch, PlayStation

<p>Neowiz, a Korean game company, has announced the release date for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/aka/">Aka</a>, a cozy simulation game where players take on the role of a red panda. According to the company, Aka will be available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/aka/">PC via Steam</a> and Nintendo Switch on December 15.</p>
 
<p>The announcement was made during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase last November 9. Over 20 indie games were soon to be released on the console, including Aka.</p>
 
<p><q>Aka earned its place in the Showcase thanks to its lovingly crafted game world and thoroughly original story from Cosmo Gatto,</q> Neowiz said in a separate statement.</p>
 
<p>Aka was created and developed by Jean-François Barthelemy, the one-man team behind <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cosmo-gatto/">Cosmo Gatto</a>. The game follows the story of Aka, the titular red panda. After retiring as a warrior, he begins a quest for inner peace. This means players need to do what most retired warriors usually do. They must find a suitable place to settle down, craft some items, tend to their garden, and relax.</p>
 
<p>Aka is also set in a small &mdash; <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/genre/open-world">open world</a> setting, featuring at least four islands. As players explore their surroundings and learn more about their past, they can talk to different people and learn more about their lives.</p>
 
<p>While the top-down <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/genre/simulation/">simulation game</a> does not have a linear storyline, Neowiz said players could take on narrative quests.</p>
 
<p>They also said mini-games had been added to the game as part of their promise to deliver <strong>an engaging yet insightful story</strong> in rich, hand-drawn graphics.</p>
 
<p>Neowiz unveiled their partnership with Barthelemy for Aka last April. Before Aka, Barthelemy's most notable work was the award-winning GitHub game A Trip to the Moon. Neowiz said that he had also worked as an animator for Dreamworks Studio.</p>
 
<p>In the meantime, Barthelemy continues to publish updates on the game's development on Twitter. Also, PC players can still access its <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/1591450/Aka/">demo version on Steam</a>.</p>

<p>The story is much like the original. Leon fights the Las Plagas threat to save the President’s daughter. The most obvious difference is with graphics. Everything is remade from the ground up. The cultist village, underwater monsters, and the abominations are still around ready to kick our ass. But we don’t want it to be the exact same game, right? I hope Capcom has a few surprises.</p>

<p><em>February 24, 2023</em></p>

<p>Square loves their RPGs. But Octopath doesn’t play like traditional <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/rpg/">role-playing games</a>. You take control of eight protagonists, each with their own abilities, motivations, and paths. If you haven’t played the first game, don’t worry. The new cast of characters will tell their own stories.</p>

<p><em>January 27, 2023</em></p>

<p>We’ve had our fair share of nightmares back in 2008. Isaac Clarke returns and he’s not paid enough to stop this alien infestation. This Remake is a complete rebuilding of the original… with new lighting features and visuals that would look good on PS5, Series X, and the PC, if your specs can keep up.</p>

<p><em>Q1 2023</em></p>

<p>A psychological <a href="https://whatoplay.com/best/horror/">horror</a> that pokes at your character’s inner psyche. If you’ve played the old Layers of Fear games, this might be very familiar. You’re playing artists slowly losing their sanity. The world around you changes the more you explore. With promised support for new visual techs like HDR and ray-tracing, your descent into madness will be both unsettling and beautiful.</p>

<p>We’ll be seeing more of Johnny Silverhand in this Cyberpunk 2077 expansion. Phantom Liberty has been described as a ‘spy-thriller’. Expect new characters, cyberware, espionage, and double-agents.

We’ll know more about this expansion in the months leading to its release next year.</p>

<p>Kingdoms, the expansion pack for the hit <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/genre/strategy">strategy</a> game <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/medieval-ii-total-war/">Total War: Medieval II</a>, has landed on mobile phones. Total War: Medieval II: Kingdoms will be available on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/total-war-medieval-ii/">Android</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/total-war-medieval-ii/">iOS</a> on November 10, 2022, according to Feral Interactive and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/creative-assembly/">Creative Assembly</a>.</p> 
 
<p>Mobile players can already purchase and download the game's massive expansion pack. Kingdoms feature at least four continental campaigns. These are the Americas, Britannia, Crusades and Teutonic.</p>
 
<p><q>Each of these storied scenarios offers enormous replayability, with new factions and units competing on expanded maps, and a range of bespoke game mechanics in dramatic historical settings,</q> developers said.</p>
 
<p>On top of the new world campaigns, the downloadable content <em>(DLC)</em> offers 15 multiplayer maps. It also has a 1v1 multiplayer mode called the 'Hotseat Multiplayer.'</p>
 
<p>Like the PC version, Kingdoms on mobile will include at least 13 new factions, 50 new buildings, and over 60 new territories for players to explore.</p>
 
<p>Developers have told players who want to run the expansion to update their Total War: Medieval II mobile app. Kingdoms is currently priced at US$6.99.</p>
 
<p>Last April, the critically acclaimed <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/genre/single-player">turn-based strategy</a> game Total War: Medieval II was released for mobile devices. The game first came out for PCs in 2006.</p>
 
<p>It is the second title in the Total War franchise with a mobile phone version. The first was Rome: Total War, launched in 2016 for iPad and eventually for smartphones in 2018.</p>
 
<p>Since its launch in 2000, the Total War series has sold over 37.8 million copies. Critics and enthusiasts praised it for its historical authenticity and gameplay quality.</p>

  New campaigns, factions, and units await

Expansion for Total War: MEDIEVAL II,  Kingdoms, Now Live on Mobile

<p>It’s that time of the year when the biggest games are released. This means getting your account ready to buy anticipated titles like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/god-of-war-ragnarok/">God of War Ragnarok</a>. Unfortunately, PSN doesn’t support Philippine accounts, so Pinoy gamers had to choose alternative regions like the US or Hong Kong. This leads to payment issues. Credit, debit cards, and even Paypal accounts with Philippine billing addresses don’t work. The alternative is to buy PSN cards in physical stores or online <em>(SeaGM, G2A, etc.)</em>. </p>

<p>Now that GCash supports buying game credits, it’s easier to top-up your PlayStation Network account. Here’s a step-by-step guide.</p>


<h3>1. Open your Gcash app. Tap "View All" on the list of services.</h3>

<h3>2. On your GCash app, under the “Pay” group and tap “Non Telco Load.”</h3>

How to Buy PSN Top-up Cards with GCash

<p>More players can finally own a physical copy of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stray/">Stray</a>, the critically acclaimed game where players become cats. Annapurna Interactive, iam8bit, and Skybound Games all confirmed that they had released the retail physical edition for PS4 on November 8.</p>
 
<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/">PS4</a> owners can also buy it online at <a href="https://www.iam8bit.com/">iam8bit's official website</a>. Aside from the game, its physical copy contains six full-color art cards.</p>
 
<p><q>Cat fanciers and fans of imaginative adventures can complete their purrfect Stray collection today,</q> distributors said in a press release. PS4 players can also upgrade the game to its new-gen version for free, distributors added.</p>
 
<p>According to earlier reports, the PS4 retail physical edition costs US$39.99. It is the second physical edition gaming companies have released for Stray. They launched a physical edition of the third-person adventure game earlier in September. However, it was exclusive to PS5 consoles only.</p>
 
<p>Due to <strong>popular demand</strong>, distributors announced later that they would also ship physical copies for the PS4 in November.</p>
 
<p>Meanwhile, iam8bit, the American creative production company, has begun accepting pre-orders for its Exclusive Edition of Stray.</p>
 
<p>In the fourth quarter of 2022, PS4 and PS5 owners will be able to buy the upcoming Exclusive Edition. It includes a poster, six art cards, and a fuzzy cat patch.</p>
 
<p>iam8bit will also release a double LP vinyl soundtrack by composer Yann Van Der Cruyssen. They said fans could expect to get their hands on this game collectible early next year.</p>
 
<p>After approximately seven years in development, Stray launched on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/stray/" title="Stray on PC">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/stray/" title="Stray on PlayStation 5">PS5</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/stray/" title="Stray on PlayStation 4">PS4</a> last July. It was developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive. Players take control of a cat as it attempts to escape a walled city infested with mutant bacteria, deadly robots, and machines.</p>
 
<p>At that time, the game only had a digital version. Stray received wide, critical acclaim with a playscore of 8.9 on PC.</p>
