Wednesday evening, a PEGI listing for Tales of Eternia Remastered was discovered online.

It was a Nintendo Switch rating that strangely listed the release date as being April 16, 2026.

The page has since been taken down, but since it was there, it seems likely that it’s a legitimate leak and was posted too soon (possibly because of a delay, if we want to speculate on that erroneous release date).

Tales of Eternia is the 3rd game in the Tales series. For its North American release, the title was changed to Tales of Destiny II, possibly because Tales of Destiny had been the first Tales game released outside of Japan.

(For added confusion, there’s an actual Tales of Destiny 2, too, but it was never localized.)

While my Tales remaster hopes have focused on games never released outside of Japan at all, Eternia is another one I’d love to see, because it’s hard to find copies of it nowadays. On top of that, it’ll be nice to see one of the older games get a remaster for a change.

I still have many Tales games left in my backlog… and speaking of the backlog, you might have noticed today is May 1, but there’s no sign of a mystery game month like we’ve done in the past. I’m currently lagging so far behind in my in-progress games that I decided to skip mystery month this year to focus on them instead. Next year? Here’s hoping!

Anyway, there’s a good chance Tales of Eternia will be the next Tales remaster announced! Are you planning to play it?

It’s official: the otome game Over RequiemZ (or should I be writing that as Over Requiemz after all?) will be out on August 20!

Up until now, we only had a Summer 2026 release window, so it’s good to have an actual date.

I’ve been excited for Over RequiemZ ever since its localization was announced, and I even named it one of my most-anticipated games of 2026.

It’s a dark fantasy otome game loosely based on the Wizard of Oz about a heroine who is sentenced to death and ordered to investigate mysterious ruins alongside four other convicted murderers on death row. It looks so promising, and I’m really curious about how the routes split to have a whole “dark” path.

2026 turned out to be a pretty stacked year for otome games. I, of course, am keeping up with my backlog, so I’ll be all ready to play it when it comes out (blatant lies).

Are you looking forward to Over RequiemZ?

It’s been over a decade since we discussed Alien: Isolation, and now the sequel has finally gotten its first teaser.

I loved Alien: Isolation, even though I felt the final section should have been shortened a bit, and think it’s an excellent example of survival horror.

(Wow, I can’t even say “in recent years” now, can I?)

I’ve had mixed feelings about a sequel, mainly because the original was so good that it’s easy to imagine a sequel not reaching those same heights.

Still, I can’t help but be cautiously optimistic after the teaser. The teaser is very short, but it gives a taste of the atmosphere and ends on a shot of the station where you’d save your game in the original.

Here’s hoping the sequel is just as tense and filled with dread as Alien: Isolation was.

What are you hoping for from the Alien: Isolation sequel?
