Culdcept the First and Culdcept Begins Games Revealed
Culdcept the First and Culdcept Begins Games Revealed Two new Culdcept games are on the way, with Culdcept the First heading to the PC and Culdcept Begins showing up on the Switch, Switch 2, and PC. While the latter first appeared in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase February 2026 montage , the former only appeared when the Steam page launched.  Culdcept Begins is the entry with a confirmed release date. That will show up on consoles on July 16, 2026. The Steam page for that only shows a 2026 window, so it is unknown if that will also be available at the same time. The page for Culdcept the First only notes “coming soon” and doesn’t even mention if it will show up in 2026.  Both games feature similar gameplay , as they are board games that also blend in JRPG, TCG, and creature-collecting mechanics. You build up a deck of cards that includes monsters, spells, and items. Your goal as a Cepter is to defeat enemies and maintain territory on the board by installing your creatures in spots. It can almost feel a bit similar to Itadaki Street or Monopoly in terms of the conquering parts of the board. Culdcept the First is an updated release of the classic game, which adds features like quick saves and loads, bonus pack reward adjustments, and a rewind feature. Here’s the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase montage that included Culdcept Begins clips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFgscsKBMH4 And you can see the first Culdcept the First trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHSea4GfAdc Culdcept Begins will come to the Switch and Switch 2 on July 16, 2026, with a PC version confirmed. Culdcept the First is also on the way to PCs. The post Culdcept the First and Culdcept Begins Games Revealed appeared first on Siliconera .

New Silent Hill Nendoroids are f Hinako and Fox Mask Figures
New Silent Hill Nendoroids are f Hinako and Fox Mask Figures The Good Smile Company Nendoroid FUNS 2026 Winter showcase involved two Silent Hill figure announcements, as Nendoroids of Hinako Shimizu and Fox Mask appeared. Each of them is very early in development. As such, there’s no estimated pre-order or release window for either one of them. They’ll join existing figures like the Pyramid Head one and Robbie the Rabbit Nendoroid. Since Hinako and Fox Mask are so early in development, only chibi concept art of both characters appeared in the showcase. She's shown in her school uniform. There's no weapon appearing in her teaser image, but in-game she wields quite a few options as she survives the onslaught of otherworldly enemies. Meanwhile, Fox Mask is only shown wearing his mask. However, it's possible the final option will allow us to pose him without it on. Images via Good Smile Company and Konami Here’s the full Nendoroid FUNS 2026 Winter showcase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZi_6PPZ28Y We’ll be seeing more Silent Hill f news soon. There’s a crossover collaboration between it and the Fatal Frame 2 remake. That will mean special cosmetics in both games. Silent Hill f  is on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Nendoroids of Hinako Shimizu and Fox Mask are in development.

Interview: Working on the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Remake
Interview: Working on the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Remake We’ve seen Dragon Quest VII quite a few times, what with its PlayStation debut, 3DS remake, and now the Reimagined release headed to consoles and PCs worldwide . Each one’s offered a little something different, with Square Enix this time streamlining some elements, adding new content elsewhere, and going with a design direction that involved physical dolls being used as main character models. To learn more about this latest take on the tale, Siliconera spoke to Producer Takeshi Ichikawa about the project, as well as the new Dragon Quest Eden manga. Jenni Lada: This is the third time we’ll be seeing Dragon Quest VII again. Which elements of the PlayStation and 3DS versions did you prioritize when preparing Dragon Quest VII Reimagined ? Takeshi Ichikawa: Although many aspects of this title have been completely reimagined from the ground up, its core narrative and the original version’s unique atmosphere remain intact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dr2m22qnx_Q One of the already shared Dragon Quest VII Reimagined updates and changes is the new segment with an older version of the character Kiefer returning to the party. How did the team decide this would be a good narrative direction and implement it into the game? Ichikawa: Kiefer makes a certain decision partway through the story, and because we believe many players were eager to see the developments that follow, we decided to add it as a new episode. It was confirmed that there will be streamlined elements. How did you determine which scenarios to omit in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and how does this then influence and alter the overall plot? Ichikawa: In our effort to streamline the overall story progression and provide a more engaging narrative, we decided to cut subplots that have little or no direct relevance to the main scenario. However, this wasn’t merely a matter of trimming. We reimagined the experience to deliver fresh scenarios even for players who have already played Dragon Quest VII , incorporating changes such as converting certain scenarios into optional content that can be played at any time after the stone tablet is assembled, as well as adding new episodes, including the adult Kiefer scenario. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci-wjJWNYV8 The Dragon Quest VII Reimagined class system will allow character multiclassing via moonlighting with another job. How did you ensure this would be balanced, and does this mean the class skill acquisition will be more like the PlayStation version than the 3DS remake? Ichikawa: As the story progresses in this title, each character can equip two vocations simultaneously. With the addition of this moonlighting feature, each vocation was rebuilt to better highlight its unique identity. While the hybrid skill system from the PlayStation version is not included, the spells and abilities learned in each vocation have been completely overhauled. We hope you enjoy this revamped vocation system, which offers a distinctly different experience from before. We know dolls for the main cast of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined were made, but did you also construct dolls for any other major characters? Also, what will happen to the dolls now that the game is finished? Ichikawa: Dolls were created for the six party characters, while other characters and monsters were produced directly as in-game models. The dolls are currently on display at various events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31LHVBj3uuM The Dragon Quest VII manga will return with Dragon Quest Eden in Japan. Did the Reimagined team do any consulting work on the adaptation? Ichikawa: While we have shared details of how this title has been reimagined with the artist and the manga editorial team, the manga adaptation is being produced as an independent work in its own right. We hope you will enjoy each version for what it offers. What did you learn from the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined development process and how would you apply that to future games in the series and Square Enix titles? Ichikawa: While I cannot speak about other games, I believe that developing this title taught me both the challenge and the appeal of preserving the original’s strengths while reimagining it as a modern game. The Dragon Quest VII Reimagined remake is available on the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on February 5, 2026.
