Howl

Astragon Entertainment’s Howl isn’t a brand-new game but will become available to console players in 2024. The turn-based tactical puzzle video game blends medieval folklore with a strategic gameplay style. A plague has been unleashed on this beautiful world, turning everyone into beasts. Players will control a deaf heroine who must set out to find a cure. The art direction truly draws our hearts, and we can’t wait for console players to join in on the adventure.

Howl will be released on January 23, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It is currently available on PC through Steam.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’sLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth sees the return of Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu, who reunite with old friends and allies for another adventure. Kasuga searches for his mother in Hawaii while Kiryu struggles to survive with cancer. Two meaningful and entwined storylines peppered with the craziness, drama and humor that only the Yakuza/Like A Dragon series can bring. Danny Trejo joins the franchise as Dwight Mendez, leader of the Hawaiian Barracuda gang, and that man always delivers.

Two protagonists, a beautiful new location, slick graphics and, best of all, new mini-games. Some of the new games include a bizarre Animal Crossing parody, a delivery game inspired by Crazy Taxi, and, of course, karaoke. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth looks to be an exciting addition to the beloved and long-running franchise.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will be released on January 25, 2024, for PC through Steam, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
