Persona Director’s New Project Seemingly a PS4 Game
Project Re Fantasy, the next title from Persona director Katsura Hashino's newly formed development team Studio Zero, could very well be a PS4 game, if a job listing is any indication.
The listing, which can be found on Japanese career site Levtech Creators (translation via Gematsu), is for "the production of character motions in a newly in-development PlayStation 4 game."
While it doesn't specifically mention Studio Zero, Project Re Fantasy or Atlus, the job coordinator notes the hiring company has a popular series with one entry that has sold over 1.5 million units. Since its launch in the west this past April, Persona 5 has sold incredibly well, surpassing 1.5 million sales earlier this year.

The OpenIV roller coaster continues, as today we've learned that the modding tool is indeed back in development, however the Liberty City mod project has been canceled.
As suggested last week, OpenIV is back up and running, following a cease and desist order from Take-Two. A post on the GTA Forums confirmed what's been going on lately.

Adi Shankar, the producer of Netflix's upcoming Castlevania Netflix show, has revealed that he will be creating an anime set in the Assassin's Creed universe.
Speaking on Facebook, Shankar didn't give any concrete details about a release date, characters or a setting - all we kn ow at this point is that Ubisoft has asked him to create an original story.

Lords of the Fallen 2 Director Sacked, Project Size Reduced
Lords of the Fallen 2's director has been let go, and the size of the sequel to 2014's action RPG drastically reduced by developer CI Games.
"I was let go because of a reduction in team, in scope, in budget, in business approach," Tomasz Gop told Eurogamer.
"Almost two years I've been working on the sequel and I have not seen it leave the concept/vision stage. I was working on something I was really 100 per cent into and we were not producing the game.
"There came a time when Sniper
was the most important thing for CI, the next big hit. It also might have been the reason why Lords was not progressing as fast. Of course it's not uncommon knowledge that
Limbo Studio Co-Founder Reveals Why He Left Playdead

Yakuza Kiwami Is The Generous HD Remake Yakuza Deserves
A remake of the first Yakuza game, which was originally released in 2005 for PS2, Yakuza Kiwami is a generous package. In addition to rebuilding the entire game from scratch in the newer engine that was used for the 2015 prequel Yakuza 0, the story has also been expanded, giving fresh insight into the travails of stoic central hero Kazuma Kiryu.
It also creates a bigger role for fan-favorite antagonist Goro Majima, who now pops up in surprising and sometimes ludicrous locations throughout the game while disguised as a cop or even a gaudily dressed hostess to offer a challenging battle.
The combat has been upgraded too. Kiryu now has a selection of four fighting styles to play with, imported from Yakuza 0, bringing even more depth to what was already a well fleshed-out game. The violence is brutal and unflinching, as Kiryu stomps his opponents’ heads into the pavement or beats them with a bicycle, all performed with simple yet satisfying combo presses.
