Black Ops 7 — what to expect with the replayable co-op Campaign Endgame experience

Game Ace Pro 0 0

The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos. When Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on PS5 and PS4 on November 14, players will face new and returning threats in the co-op Campaign, culminating in the replayable Endgame experience.

With game launch only days away, let’s take a closer look at the story so far, followed by more Endgame intel.

How Lumines Arise evolves the puzzle genre, out Nov 11

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Lumines Arise releases tomorrow, November 11, 2025, on PlayStation 5. It’s been over 20 years since the original Lumines was released at the launch of the PlayStation Portable in 2004. Lumines Arise is a complete reimagining of the series’ block-dropping puzzle gameplay using the latest technology possible on the PS5 (with optional PS VR2 compatibility). We’re confident that you’ve never had a puzzle game take you on an emotional, sound-and-light-filled, synesthetic journey quite like this, whether you’re a longtime fan or picking up Lumines for the very first time.

I’m Game Director Takashi Ishihara from Enhance, and I’d like to take this opportunity, alongside Executive Producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi, on this release-day eve to reveal some behind-the-scenes info on the game’s development and share with you why we think Lumines Arise is so different.

You may be familiar with our previous title, Tetris Effect: Connected (available on PS4 and PS5, and also optionally playable in PSVR/PS VR2). Believe it or not, that game took a lot of influence from prior Lumines titles. In turn, Lumines Arise now incorporates many of the things we learned during the development of Tetris Effect, bringing them back into Lumines.

Tetris Effect and Lumines: A shared language

If you’re even a little bit familiar with Tetris Effect: Connected, one look at Lumines Arise and you can tell it comes from the same development team. Playing either one may make it seem like inducing synesthesia (a phenomenon where stimulating one sense involuntarily stimulates others simultaneously) was effortless, but it was actually incredibly difficult to pull off!

At Enhance, synesthesia is an everyday word and exploring this sensory crossover concept continues with Lumines Arise—we wanted every stage in the game to link the experience with your emotions as well. Tetris Effect: Connected did this too, and its Journey mode narrative (though subtle) resonated deeply with players, inciting some powerful emotions in players by the end of the game.

To do this effectively, we had to construct a shared vocabulary within the development team to communicate to each other the vision of what we wanted to achieve in each stage, the feelings we wanted players to feel, and whether or not we were meeting that goal. Being open and honest about what you’re seeing and feeling can be difficult in any work environment, but even with new members joining the team that weren’t part of Tetris Effect: Connected, we were able to do it.

Where Winds Meet: dive deeper into gameplay and story details

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello everyone. Eric from EverStone Studio, the team behind the Wuxia open-world action-adventure RPG, Where Winds Meet. I’m here to give you the low-down on all the exciting content we unveiled at our recent preview event and what you can expect at launch on November 14.

Where Winds Meet drops you into China’s Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a time of upheaval, change, and opportunity. It’s a true living world, filled with branching stories, side quests, and choices that matter.

Where Winds Meet is about living your own story in a world that feels real. You can go anywhere, fight anyone, and become whoever you want.

Master the battle and meet with legends

Combat is fast, flexible, and full of style. You can master traditional weapons like the sword, spear, Mo blade, and rope dart, or try creative ones like the umbrella and fan. Each has its own rhythm and tactics, backed by 12 Martial Arts sets and 23 mystical techniques. For the animations, we teamed up with Stephen Tung Wai, a four-time Hong Kong Film Award winner for Best Action Choreography.

Today we’re introducing a new weapon—the Rope Dart. This weapon is designed to use its unique strengths to target an enemy’s weaknesses, leveraging its flexibility and cunning to overcome stronger opponents. It’s a weapon that proves how softness can conquer hardness, the few can challenge the many, and cleverness can overpower brute force—even a mouse can tie up a tiger!

Martial arts are the heart of every Jianghu dream, and compelling combat lies at the core of any great wuxia game. And there’s more to come! Several new weapons and techniques are currently in development, each set to enrich the world of Where Winds Meet in the future.

You Kung Fu masters out there have a lot to look forward to, too. There are lots of bosses and enemies with different fighting styles across dozens of campaigns and regions.

In our latest reveal, players are introduced to a mysterious character previously known only as a shadowy manipulator looming behind the scenes , a pivotal figure whose presence has long been sensed but never clearly seen. This elusive strategist is none other than the widely renowned Nan Zhu. Yet, this first encounter is far from a poetic rendezvous; instead, it unfolds as a perilous game of wits and tension. With every word weaving a trap and murderous intent lurking at every turn, an ultimate fight is about to begin.

The Qinghe and Kaifeng regions

Qinghe is where every wanderer’s story begins, a peaceful region of open plains, quiet villages, and hidden mysteries. It’s the perfect place to slow down, explore, and soak in the early beauty of Where Winds Meet.

But even this tranquil land has its quirks. Rumors swirl about a troublemaker posing as a wanderer, setting wasp nests ablaze, and even stealing horses. Beneath Qinghe’s calm s
