Story of Seasons has had a series of ups and downs as the franchise has tried to find its footing in a genre it once had a monopoly on. It’s true that each new title has offered an exciting prospect of things to come within the series itself. It’s also always seemed to go against the idea of being a market leader once more in favor of keeping things traditional, but much that stubborn thinking may be to its detriment. This rears its head in the series’ new remake, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

Even with limitless routes comes limitations, however, Loop8: Summer of Gods, despite all its positives, is yet another victim of a time loop sci-fi snafu that has its heart in the right place, but any potential excellence in a different timeline.

During its showcase event today, Marvelous announced Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion.

Little was shown outside of a brief CG trailer. Platforms haven’t been confirmed either, but considering the first entry started off as a Switch exclusive just a few years ago, it’d be a surprise if Nintendo’s console is left out of the fun when it’s ready to launch.
