Persona 5 is coming to the Switch as an action RPG


Atlus had two big reveals this week for its much loved role-playing game Persona 5. The first, Persona 5 The Royal, is an enhanced version of the original game, complete with a new party member and an extra palace. The second, teased as Persona 5 S — which many fans theorized would be a port to the Nintendo Switch — is indeed a Switch game, though not in the way many expected.
Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers is an action RPG from Dynasty Warriorsdeveloper Omega Force. It’s a strange combination at first blush, but the mashup of Dynasty Warriors plus a beloved franchise has worked shockingly well before with games like Hyrule Warriors. In the brief trailer released today, Joker slices his way through a horde of enemies with the help of his knife and default persona Arsene. The game is headed to PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch.
For fans more interested in a traditional Persona experience, Persona 5 The Royal is the game you’re looking for. The latest trailer shows off the newest thief, Kasumi Yoshizawa, a gymnast who transfers to Shujin Academy around the same time as the game’s main character, as well as a new confidant working as a high school counselor. The Royal also adds extra time in the form of the game’s third semester, in addition to more features.
As for what else the game might include, much has been left to speculation. Screenshots on the official Japanese site show off a character that looks an awful lot like a human version of Morgana; Kasumi’s costume and weapon similarities to Joker, as well as the timing of her arrival and unannounced Arcana, suggest that she might have a bigger role to play than your average Phantom Thief.
Persona 5 continues to expand past the scope of its original game with the release of spinoff titles like Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, the upcoming Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, and Joker’s recent addition to Super Smash Bros. Persona 5 The Royal launches in Japan this October, and the game is headed Stateside in 2020. Currently, it’s only expected to launch on PS4, so keep those Switch dreams in check.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year.

Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
