River City Girls 2 delayed

WayForward has provided an update on River City Girls 2, announcing that the game will now be available in North America “sometime after its originally expected late summer 2022”. Specifics beyond that were not announced. However, some new cover art was shared on social media, which we have above.

River City Girls 2 was first revealed in June 2021. WayForward had hoped that the game would be ready for this summer, but that didn’t happen in the end.

This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine has revealed an updated release date for River City Girls 2 in Japan. The title will now be releasing on December 1, 2022 in the region.

It should be noted that the last update we received for River City Girls 2 was in December 2021, with a trailer providing a Summer 2022 release window for the game. Considering this new Japanese release date, it’s likely that this Summer 2022 release window has slid in other regions as well, in which case we should hear a confirmation for the game’s new worldwide release date soon.

They’ll be digging for “rare” matter as well as battling underground enemies, building Pit Relay Systems to help offer upgrades and supporting units along the way, and more.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax review

System: Switch
Release date: March 17, 2022
Developer: Arc System Works
Publisher: Atlus


A longtime cult classic among Persona and fighting game fans alike, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is finally seeing a re-release on modern systems as part of the series’ 25th anniversary celebration. Atlus and Arc System Works came together a decade ago to create a crossover for the ages, pairing Arc System Works’ wild and incredibly fun fighting game style with the world of Persona and its unmatchable, overflowing swagger. That swagger is present in every facet of the game, including the familiar characters and aesthetic, electric soundtrack, slick flourishes throughout the presentation that would go on to take even Masahiro Sakurai’s heart later in the series, and its classic Persona-style mystery.
