Loop8 review

System: Switch
Release date: June 6, 2023
Developer: Marvelous
Publisher: Marvelous / XSEED


I’ve said in prior publications that the concept of time travel is a fascinating yet very sensitive one, as the topic tends to lend itself to narratives that ultimately have no idea how to go about ending a topic that can take myriad of forms and paths, leaving a story open-ended and potentially with too many plot holes because of a traditionally endless structure. 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.

Loop8 trailer

Thanks to XSEED and Marvelous, we have a launch trailer for Loop8: Summer of Gods. The coming-of-age RPG just landed today.

More information about it can be found in the following overview:

Rune Factory 6

Today, Marvelous officially announced the next proper mainline entry in the Rune Factory series – which is appropriately titled Rune Factory 6.

Rune Factory 6 is set on the western continent of Adonea. Outside of that, Marvelous is keeping quiet on the rest of the details.

Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion

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.

Rune Factory Project Dragon

Marvelous has announced a new Rune Factory game titled Rune Factory: Project Dragon.

Rune Factory: Project Dragon is a spinoff set in the eastern lands. The game features a Japanese-style aesthetic new to the series. Players can expect an experience unique from the main series while expanding upon familiar elements like day-to-day life, adventuring, and romantic pursuits.

During the Marvelous Games Showcase 2023, new entries in the Story of Seasons series were announced.

The first one is traditional with players will be taking care of animals, growing crops, and sharing fruits of your labor with their neighbors while living a wholesome life. Also teased is that the title will be preserving the series’ elements while making “an entertaining farming experience that will reach more players than ever before.” The team at Marvelous is working hard on the game’s visual presentation.
