Atlus is not shy about embracing every aspect of Japanese video game publishing. It’s not enough to bring out a Nintendo 3DS remake of an obscure Sega Saturn RPG in English with full voiceovers, it’s got to go the whole boxset route with a limited edition. As with its other handheld releases like Code of Princess, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, and others, Atlus USA is giving Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers the limited edition treatment when it comes out in April.

Like those other Atlus handheld games, Soul Hackers will come with a soundtrack CD along with it. Unlike those games, though, this is an updated version of the original soundtrack (or an “arranged” soundtrack if you prefer the parlance of old Japanese role-playing games soundtracks that replaced chiptune with more traditional instrumentation). Fans of bands like the Chromatics, who featured prominently on the Drive film soundtrack, have much to look forward to as evidenced by Soul Hackers song “#X.”

Unlike most retail games marked “limited edition,” this Soul Hackers release will very likely be available in small quantities. Handheld Atlus role-playing games like Radiant Historia and others have had to be reprinted by the publisher after the boxset runs became collector’s items.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
