Yakuza Kiwami 3 Demo Confirmed
Yakuza Kiwami 3 Demo Confirmed Sony announced via the PlayStation Blog that Sega will release a demo for Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties , the updated remake of the third game with an entirely new Yoshitaka Mine storyline. However, we don’t know when this might appear. It was only confirmed at an event that there will be a means for people to try the adventure before buying it. The announcement came in a PlayStation Blog preview about the game. While the article did mention both the writer experiencing the Kazuma Kiryu Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Mine Dark Ties segments, it didn’t note if that will be possible in the upcoming demo. It only noted Sega will make an announcement regarding it.  It’s actually pretty rare for Yakuza and Like a Dragon series games to get demos. Only two are immediately available right now, and those are both for spin-off games. One is a combat demo for Like a Dragon: Ishin , which is set in 1860s Japan, involves the Shinsengumi, and features a Ryoma Sakamoto that looks suspiciously like Kazuma Kiryu. The other is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii , the Goro Majima game set around the same period as the eighth Yakuza game Infinite Wealth .  Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties  will come to the Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 12, 2026. The original game is on the PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.  The post Yakuza Kiwami 3 Demo Confirmed appeared first on Siliconera .

New Honkai: Star Rail Planarcadia Characters Teased
New Honkai: Star Rail Planarcadia Characters Teased HoYoVerse took to social media to share an array of new images teasing characters we’ll see in the new Planarcadia world and storyline after the Honkai: Star Rail 4.0 update. In addition to Sparxie and Yao Guang , who will be the first two we’ll see after the patch, two Stellaron Hunters appear alongside three characters. The images also teased that this update will involve the Aeon Aha, the Elation path, and perhaps both The Masked Fools and Genius Society. The two Stellaron Hunters who will apparently play a part in Honkai: Star Rail 4.0 are Silver Wolf and Blade. This comes after 3.4 buffs for the characters. Both of them seem to appear in new forms suggesting alts, just like how Sparxie is the SP version of th existing character Sparkle.  Three entirely new Honkai: Star Rail characters appear in these Planarcadia Aha teaser images. They are Ashveil, Evanescia, and Nihilux. There are no details about either of the three, and we haven’t heard any references to them yet. Here are all the new pieces of Aha art for the four new Honkai: Star Rail Planarcadia characters, Sparkle alt Sparxie, and new takes on Stellaron Hunters  Blade and Silver Wolf. Images via HoYoVerse Honkai: Star Rail is available for the PS5, PC, and mobile devices. The post New Honkai: Star Rail Planarcadia Characters Teased appeared first on Siliconera .

The Hundred Line is Actually 2 Games in 1
The Hundred Line is Actually 2 Games in 1 Too Kyo Games revealed that Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is actually two games in one, and it also showed off the full key visual of both games. The soundtrack for the game is out on streaming services, too, and you can pre-order the director’s edition of the soundtrack via Aniplex Online. The first key visual of the game uses red and gray, whereas the new key visual for the "second game" is more blue. This visual features more characters, including the Undying Flame Boy at the back of the group. A limited physical edition using the Hundred Line 1&2 Pack key visual will appear in stores on April 24, 2026. Though there was some confusion on social media about whether Hundred Line 2 is a sequel or a DLC, 2 actually means Routes 1-100. After beating the first hundred days (Route 0), you can unlock Hundred Line 2 , which is reflected in the main menu and such. You can watch the new trailer for Hundred Line 2 here (again, this only means Routes 1-100): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRaA18UBboo A future update for the game will also let you skip directly to 2 . This is not recommended for first-time players, though. Routes 1-100 pick up directly from the end of Route 0. It's akin to starting from The Return of the King without watching the first two movies. As for the Hundred Line Original Soundtrack Director’s Edition , it’ll come with a sticker page featuring the character chibis. This bonus goes for all storefronts. The soundtrack costs 5500 JPY ($34.80), and it contains 88 tracks. It’ll come out on April 16, 2026. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU2iZI_BKmw Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is readily available on the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC.

Visions of Four Heroes DLC Patches Up Dynasty Warriors Origins
Visions of Four Heroes DLC Patches Up Dynasty Warriors Origins When I reviewed Dynasty Warriors Origins last year, I felt rather underwhelmed as a long-time series fan who had also invested a lot in researching the historical Chinese Three Kingdoms period to follow the storyline in these games. But when I have the opportunity to check out the upcoming Visions of Four Heroes DLC, I see it helps rectify some of the issues I had in the original Dynasty Warriors Origins . One of the glaring issues in the original game for me was the lack of viewpoints for other faction leaders like Yuan Shao and the Yellow Turbans' Zhang Jiao. Together with Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, the four leaders finally have hypothetical stories where the protagonist Ziluan supports each of them. But instead of appearing as new branches in the main story, the hypotheticals are gathered in a separate segment that also has its own inn hub and skill tree, along with new sets of trials and challenges. Screenshot by Siliconera The new stories have not only new major battle stages—they also include a new type of campaign called Strategic Battle. This is where army platoons split up and take turns in dealing damage to each other. You can also influence the battle by directly engaging an enemy platoon, which will generate a Skirmish stage against it. As you defeat an enemy platoon, you can gain Unit Action Points to launch army attacks that do not consume a turn and Secret Tactics that generate buff or damage areas during skirmishes. It all culminates in a Decisive Battle where you will finally get to challenge the enemy commander's large army. The troop numbers only matter for the duration of the specific Strategic Battle. However, I can definitely see this system as a foundation for a new Empires entry in the future. But of course, all the missing characters and regions would have to return first before Omega Force can work on that. Screenshot by Siliconera Another issue I had that I did not mention before was the lack of color variety for the protagonist's costumes. So I'm very excited to see that one of the new costumes added with this DLC has alternate colors that represent all supported factions—including the three main ones in the original Dynasty Warriors Origins as well. This really helps Ziluan blend more naturally with the faction he chose. Each of the new weapon types also has its own attack methods, staying true to the game's overall direction. The Bow distinguishes itself by having another attack string where you can attack while holding guard to fire multiple arrows while strafing around. But to unleash the true potential of the Rope Dart, I recommend holding the strong attack button whenever you want to launch an attack that uses it. And last but not least, I am allowed to share that the mystery character will declare himself as Fei Wei (飛衛). However, there were no actual figures with that name in the Chinese Three Kingdoms period. I instead discovered that this name belonged to a legendary archer mentioned in the Tang chapter of the Liezi texts.

Resident Evil Requiem Ink Ribbons and First and Third-Person Camera Options Teased
Resident Evil Requiem Ink Ribbons and First and Third-Person Camera Options Teased During the Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom focused on the upcoming ninth entry Requiem and showed how first and third-person camera perspectives and ink ribbons for saving will return. Both of these came up during the initial part of the presentation that went over gameplay for the two characters, with the Leon portion being more gun-focused and Grace’s being more traditional. We also saw the Switch 2 Pro Controller again.  In the case of the ink ribbons returning as a save option, those only appear in Resident Evil Requiem if we select a certain Game Mode at the outset. The three options are Casual, Standard (Modern), and Standard (Classic). It’s that classic option that includes that feature. The exact description mentioned the difficulty matches older games and noted, “Autosaves during Grace’s gameplay are limited and ink ribbons are required to save.”  At about the seven minute mark of the gameplay preview, the first and third-person camera options for Resident Evil Requiem appeared. The Grace and Leon ones will be separate in the option screen. So you can choose first-person for one of the protagonist and third-person for the other, or go with first-person for both or third-person for both.  You can watch the full January 2026 Resident Evil Showcase below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9HIc7GZLa0 Resident Evil Requiem  will come to the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam and Epic Game Store on February 27, 2026.  The post Resident Evil Requiem Ink Ribbons and First and Third-Person Camera Options Teased appeared first on Siliconera .
