<p>As for Yuffie Kisaragi, while she was a character in the original Final Fantasy VII, her presence in Remake was more implied as the developers had decided to split the story with Yuffie coming in for Part II. At least now, she has some time to take the spotlight before she makes her official debut.</p>

<p>While the PS5 upgrade for Final Fantasy VII will come free for players who own the game on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-vii-remake" title="Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS4">PS4</a>, they will have to pay extra for the Yuffie episode.</p>

<p>Here’s the official description for her story:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">In the brand new episode featuring Yuffie, play as ninja Yuffie Kisaragi as she infiltrates the shadowy Shinra corporation to steal a powerful Materia and restore glory to her homeland. Play alongside new characters and enjoy an expanded gameplay experience featuring multiple new combat and gameplay additions. This <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/adventure" title="Adventure PS4 Games">adventure</a> brings new perspective to the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE story that cannot be missed.</div>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/final-fantasy-vii-remake" title="Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on PS5">Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade</a> will be available come June 10.

<p>Last October saw the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/headup-games" title="Headup Games">Headup Games’</a> Pumpkin Jack, and though we’re way past Halloween, the game is now set to release on a new platform—the PlayStation.</p>

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Playing as Jack, you overcome tight platform sections, solve riddles (literally!) with your head, run for your life to escape giant burning barns, ride mine carts (in a classic roller coaster-ish manner of course…) and much more – and yes, using an varied arsenal of weapons you’ll fight lots and lots of foes, from small weak ones up to huge bosses all of which will test your skills.</div>

<p>As for the story, you’ll take control of Jack as he slays his nemesis in the Kingdom of Arc En Ciel according to the Devil’s bidding. Besides controlling Jack, you’ll also get to interact with some kooky characters like an owl and crow—both will help you as you play through the game.</p>

<p>The descriptions don’t lie when it compares the game to Jak & Daxter and MediEvil. The world is dark and spooky (but in a family-friendly way), and you get to experience a variety of gameplay from the basic platforming to riding vehicles and speeding through corridors.</p>

<p>Pumpkin Jack is available for $29.99, €29.99, and £24.99 and promises players 5-8 hours of fun based on just one run.</p>

<p>Pumpkin Jack is now available on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/pumpkin-jack" title="Pumpkin Jack on PS4">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/pumpkin-jack" title="Pumpkin Jack on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pumpkin-jack" title="Pumpkin Jack on Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>, Android, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/pumpkin-jack" title="Pumpkin Jack on PC">PC</a>.</p>

<p>While we have a lot of promising Star Wars content incoming like the sequel to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order" title="Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on PC">Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ubisoft" title="Ubisoft">Ubisoft’s</a> Star Wars game, Lucasfilm Games is set to bring back some older titles for a new generation of gamers. After <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/star-wars-episode-i-racer" title="Star Wars Episode I Racer on PS4">Star Wars Racer</a>, it’s been announced that another classic Star Wars game is going to be making a comeback.</p>

<p>Here’s the announcement of Star Wars: Republic Commando for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">The squad is your weapon.</div>

<div class="direct-quote">You are the leader of an elite squad of Republic Commandos, your mission is to infiltrate, dominate, and ultimately, annihilate the enemy. Your squad will follow your orders and your lead, working together as a team - instinctively, intelligently, instantly. You are their leader. They are your weapon.</div>

<p>The original Republic Commando was actually an exclusive for the Xbox and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-republic-commando" title="Star Wars Republic Commando on PC">PC</a>, so this would be its first time the title would be available to the PlayStation and Nintendo. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/aspyr-media" title="Aspyr Media">Aspyr</a> will be the one handling the port, and it’s said that this revival of the game will only focus on the single-player campaign and not so much on the multiplayer aspect.</p>

<p>Just like the original <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-battlefront-ii" title="Star Wars Battlefront II on PC">Battlefront II</a>, Republic Commando is hailed by Star Wars fans as one of the best SW shooters to ever come out. While this is just a revival of an old game, some are hopeful that this could pave the way for more extensive remasters of classic titles. Jedi Power Battles, anyone?</p>

<p>Star Wars: Republic Commando will run for $14.99 and will come to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/star-wars-republic-commando" title="Star Wars Republic Commando on PS4">PS4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/star-wars-republic-commando" title="Star Wars Republic Commando on Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> on April 6.

<p>While a lot of AAA games have opted for sprawling <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/open-world" title="Open World PC Games">open worlds</a>, Horned Knight is more of an ode to classic action platformers where you take control of a hero and battle monsters and demons as you navigate complicated levels.</p>

<p>Tony Hawk had brought skating to a whole generation of millenials when he released Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater back in the 90s, and now he’s come back with a remaster with the help of Vicarious Visions. Just in, it’s been announced that a next-gen upgrade will be coming to THPS1+2, and what’s more, the game will also be coming to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/tony-hawks-pro-skater-1-2" title="Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and 2 on Switch">Nintendo Switch</a>.</p>

<li>Owners of the Digital Deluxe editions can download the next-gen upgrade for free (players in Japan will have to pay 100 yen for it, though)</li>
       
<li>Owners of the digital version of the game that aren’t the deluxe edition can pay $10 for a ‘Cross-Gen Deluxe Bundle’</li>
      
<li>If you own a physical copy of the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4" title="PS4 Games">PS4</a> version, you can upgrade to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5" title="PS5 Games">PS5</a> version, but you have to have your disc in the console when you play the next-gen version.</li>

<p>Here’s the announce trailer for Diablo II: Resurrected:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">

<div class="direct-quote">Arise, Diablo, Lord of Terror. Diablo II: Resurrected is the definitive remastering of Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction® expansion — two hallmark entries in Blizzard Entertainment’s genre-defining action role-playing series.</div>

<p>While Diablo II had originally been available for the PC only, this remaster is going to be coming to consoles as well, and players will also be allowed cross-platform progression.</p>

<p>Some of the developers behind this remake were the ones behind the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy" title="Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy on PC">Crash Bandicoot N.

<p>With Diablo II being one of the most celebrated titles in its genre, it’s going to be great that some younger players will be able to experience the game remastered for the current generation.

<div class="direct-quote">Splatoon 3 arrives on Nintendo Switch in 2022! In the wake of chaos, enter the sun scorched Splatlands and the new city, Splatsville, inhabited by battle-hardened Inklings and Octolings. New weapons, moves, and more await, so be sure to keep an eye out for updates in the future.</div>

<p>While <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/splatoon-2" title="Splatoon 2 on Switch">Splatoon 2</a> looked to be more focused on giving us urban areas to play around, it looks like the third game is going to be embracing the ‘Wasteland’ concept—hence the Splatlands (possibly alluding to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/borderlands" title="Borderlands on PC">Borderlands</a>). Besides the new turf, Splatoon 3 is also going to be presenting players with new weapons like the bow that we see in the trailer.</p>

<p>With Splatoon 2 being one of the best-selling games for the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch" title="Switch Games">Nintendo Switch</a> when it launched, a lot of people are excited to see what’s in store for the third game. While it does build on the series, hopefully Splatoon 3 will be a great entry point into the franchise for new players as well.</p>
