🎮 Multi-platformFinal Fantasy 7 Revelation Wants Minigames To Feel Like A Choice Again
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's minigames were polarizing when they were first introduced, and for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-revelation-gets-its-first-trailer-at-summer-game-fest/), Square Enix has reworked how it will "deliver" them to players. One of the main complaints with Rebirth's minigames was the sheer volume of them and how completing them was mandatory to unlock rare Materia or Gold Saucer dates with certain characters. Speaking to GameSpot, series director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that while minigames will return, most of them will be optional and they'll offer items for character customization as rewards instead of items that buffed characters in combat, like in Rebirth. "We did notice the variety of feedback that we received about the minigames and their quantity, and we were aware of that," Hamaguchi said via a translator. "At the same time, the remake series is a sort of homage to the original Final Fantasy 7 game. When we set upon creating Revelation, it was really never our intent to produce or decrease the number of minigames, and we were more so thinking how can we best deliver these games to the players today." "And we felt that if the minigames were optional, yet they were heavily tied to character growth, and that you would have to play them in order to let your character grow some more, it would feel less optional. So in Revelation, we took care to lighten that necessity a bit more, to make it easier for players to play the minigames of their own will. So it might be tied more to characters, and players who want to customize the characters more--and are more interested in that part of the gaming experience--can feel free to engage more in the minigames. Whereas people that might want to kind of strengthen and delve more into the battle experience, we have more of that specifically tied to the battles." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEhujmFOBDE Not only was there a first look at Final Fantasy 7 Revelation at Summer Game Fest Live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/summer-game-fest-live-2026-all-the-biggest-announcements-and-games/) this week, but we also got to see plenty of the game in action when Hamaguchi and Vincent Valentine's voice actor, Matthew Mercer, showed off a preview of the game. Square Enix has built on the foundation of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth, but this time, players can experiment with the new FITS gear to unlock unique abilities and expand their strategic options when taking on powerful foes. One other big change is Sephiroth himself, as the primary antagonist of Final Fantasy 7 has a new actor(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/theres-one-big-change-to-sephiroth-in-final-fantasy-7-revelation/) breathing life into him.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Exclusive Grounded 2 Launches On PlayStation 5 This August Alongside Underwater 'Into The Abyss' Update
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2025/07/17/3fbea3f7/370grounded02.jpg.webp) Xbox exclusive Grounded 2(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/grounded-2-early-access), the miniature backyard survival game from Obsidian Entertainment, will make its way to PlayStation 5 later this Summer on August 11. Alongside that new platform, an underwater-themed update titled "Into The Abyss" will also hit the game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Grounded 2 launched into Early Access on Xbox Series X/S and PC(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2025/06/08/grounded-2-announced-with-july-game-preview-release-date) in July of last year, and while there's still no 1.0 release date in sight, new players will soon head to Brookhollow Park to encounter ants, spiders, lots of leaves, and more. We don't know much about Into The Abyss, but based on the teaser trailer, it looks like it's taking our cast of kids underwater (perhaps into the murky waters of a puddle).

🎮 Multi-platformGod Of War Laufey May Feature Gods Who Were Killed In The Previous Games
Throughout the original God of War trilogy and its spin-offs, Kratos left a lot of dead gods in his wake. Some of those late deities may come back to haunt Kratos's wife, Faye, in the upcoming title, God of War Laufey(https://www.gamespot.com/games/god-of-war-laufey/). While Kratos is still among the living, Ariel Lawrence--the director of God of War Laufey--hinted that one of his first foes could return. "We’ve been killing gods for a really long time," Lawrence told GameSpot(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-laufeys-director-talks-fan-skepticism-new-ideas-and-phranque-the-cube/). "So we’ve been thinking about this question. Since Ares died, we were like, 'Okay, great. Does he go to the underworld?' We asked that question. 'Where did he show up after Kratos killed him?' I think this has been really bubbling around for like 20 years." Kratos killed Ares--the Greek god of war--in the first game in 2005, which marked the former's ascension to godhood. In the subsequent games, Kratos murdered several additional gods, including Zeus, Athena, and almost the entire Greek pantheon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLMX2w3cwuE Laufey's story will unfold in the Everywhen, which Lawrence describes as a place that "is a return for all magic. So it’s not just gods, but magical creatures and all sorts of things. Magic is pulled to this place." Ares didn't appear in the game's debut footage, but the Mongolian and Egyptian gods of war--Begtse and Sekhmet--made their debut as a villainous duo. It remains to be seen which gods Faye will encounter as she explores this strange new land. The good news for Faye is that she doesn't have to face these gods alone. She will be joined by a sentient ribbon companion called Rue and a talking gelatinous cube named Pharanque, who was our pick for the breakout character of State of Play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-wars-cube-was-the-star-of-state-of-play/). God of War Laufey will be released on PlayStation 5, but it doesn't have a release date yet.
