Bandai Namco NEWS: Katamari Damacy release date, Soulcalibur 6 update, Divinity 2 REVIEW

Bandai Namco shocked Nintendo Switch fans with a surprise Katamari Damacy reveal during the latest Direct conference.

Katamari Damacy Reroll is a HD remaster of the original Katamari game on PS2.

The upcoming release features HD rumble, gyroscopic controls and Joy-Con multiplayer support.

And there’s not long to wait, because Katamari Damacy Reroll has been given a winter release date on Nintendo Switch.

Soulcalibur 6 publisher Bandai Namco has announced another new character for the game.

With the Soulcalibur 6 release date coming soon, Bandai Namco has confirmed that series favourite Cervantes will be added to the game.

“When Cervantes first gripped Soul Edge, the power of the cursed sword transformed him into a monster,” reads a Bandai Namco post.

“He used the sword to bring a reign of terror and carnage to the world, as the sword continued to manipulated his mind. But soon the cursed sword’s plans were thwarted by a heroic ninja and a brave warrior. Cervantes was defeated, consumed by fire and sentenced to the depths of hell, his body turned to ash.”

“Later the now new owner of the Soul Edge, Nightmare comes across Cervantes’s remains, but left without noticing the small glimmer of light emitting from his body. The Soul Edge had once again set the terrible wheels of fate moving and brought Cervantes back from the dead.

“After his resurrection, Cervantes now walks grinning through a sea of corpses, claiming countless souls and leaving desolation and destruction in his wake. His final aim is clear: to once again to make Soul Edge his own.”

You can check out the new and improved Cervantes when Soulcalibur 6 launches on October 12.

Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition scores are through the roof for PS4 and Xbox One.

Express Online awarded the hardcore role-playing game a perfect five stars, describing it as a game of the year contender.

“You’ve really got to hand it to developer Larian, because while it’s hardly a shock to see the highly-rated CRPG hit consoles, it is surprising how much effort they’ve put into making the Definitive Edition feel like exactly that.

“Red Dead Redemption 2, Black Ops 4 and Pokemon Let’s Go may get all the headlines this holiday season, but Divinity Original Sin 2 could end up as the game of the year… again!”
