Square Enix announced has announced a new strategy tactics game called The DioField Chronicle during the PlayStation State of Play.

This brand new tactics RPG delivers a 3D take on the classic strategy genre. Check out the new cinematic trailer below to see how the turn-based strategy combat combines with 3D animations for an added flourish.

The DioField Chronicle takes place on a continent engulfed in war and follows a conflict between the Trovelt-Schoevian Empire and the Rowetale Alliance. However, in between the two feuding powers stands the lone Kingdom of Alletain.

According to PlayStation, The DioField Chronicle utilizes a Real-Time Tactical Battle system and the development team includes character designer Taiki (Lord of Vermillion 3), Kamikokuryo Isamu (FF12, 13), and Sound Composers Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell (Game of Thrones).

The combat appears to lean heavily on the strategy element with units moving across a battlefield. But the 3D animated elements bring the gameplay to life and huge elements like giant flying dragons can be seen soaring atop the battlefield and breathing fire on players and enemies.

This new franchise sits comfortably alongside Square Enix's many tactics RPGs, but the modern take is certainly enticing. The DioField Chronicle is set to be released in 2022 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

A new fighting game in the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure universe, titled Jojo's All Star Battle R, is coming to early fall 2022.

The news was announced during today's March 2022 State of Play presentation for PlayStation 4/5; versions of the game for PC, Xbox One/Series X|S, and Switch platforms have also been confirmed for release by publisher Bandai Namco. The game will feature 50 playable characters upon release from different arcs of the manga.

All Star Battle R is based on the fighting system established in 2013's Jojo's Bizzare Adventure All Star Battle, said a PlayStation blog post shortly after the presentation. It also noted that the new game will "reinvigorate the experience with adjustments to the fighting tempo and the addition of hit stops and jump dashes." All Star Battle R will feature new audio recordings from voice actors in Part 6 of the anime.

Game modes will include All Star Battle Mode, Arcade Mode, Online Mode, Versus Mode, Practice Mode, and Gallery Mode.

In addition to the popular anime series, several games based on Hirohiko Araki's manga series have been released. The first came in 1993, an RPG for the Super Famicom that never saw a release outside of Japan.

It'd go on to mark its debut in the fighting genre in 1998, releasing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure for arcades and the original PlayStation, getting an update, Heritage for the Future, the following year.

The most recent Jojo video game, Last Survivor, came out in 2019, but the battle royal title was limited to an arcade release.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the original story and the 10th anniversary of the anime. The most recent arc of the anime, Stone Ocean, hit Netflix last December, getting a 10/10 from IGN.

Shown in today's Sony State of Play livestream, the online shooter Gundam Evolution got a new gameplay trailer, as well as firm confirmation that it will get a simultaneous Western release later this year. A network test was also announced for the US and Japan coming sometime this spring.

The first has teams trying to either attack or defend a specific control point, the second has them simultaneously fighting over three rotating points, and the last has one team trying to destroy an objective the other is defending.

No, what we watched at the opening of Sony's State of Play was sadly not a new Dino Crisis game. But it was a brand new IP about fighting dinosaurs from Capcom, called Exoprimal.

The trailer gave us a look at a futuristic city where portals keep dumping massive piles of dinosaurs into the metro area, and groups of futuristic soldiers called Exofighters in high-tech armor must take them down. A disclaimer at the bottom of one section of the trailer notes that there's online multiplayer involved, so you'll be able to team up with your friends and fire a bunch of futuristic guns at hundreds of dinosaurs.

In a closer look in the PlayStation Blog explains that Exoprimal takes place in 2043, when mysterious vortexes have been opening up and ejecting armies of dinosaurs into the modern world. Exofighters must wear Exosuits in order to be able to take them on, with each suit having unique abilities and specialization. Players can change their suits at any time during a mission and change up their powers and team compositions on the fly.

Exoprimal is focused around multiplayer, cooperative play, and it's expected that teams will shift their suits often as different dinosaurs and challenges appear in front of them. In a further update on the official Twitter, it's been revealed that Exoprimal matches will consist of two teams of five players fighting against the dinosaurs, with only one winner.

Exoprimal is headed to PS5 and PS4 sometime in 2023. You can catch up on everything else that was announced at today's State of Play right here.

Update 6:04 pm: Exoprimal is also coming to Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and Steam.

Ikumi Nakamura, the fan-favorite director previously of Bethesda's Tango Gameworks, has revealed her new studio, Unseen. In an exclusive interview with IGN Nakamura says her studio will be multicultural, and its games will focus on her interests in mystery, horror, sci-fi, and the supernatural.

Nakamura announced Unseen today with a trailer that introduces her vision for the studio. "The Tokyo studio acts as a terminal," Nakamura explains. "A place where different cultures intersect. A hub for artists to gather. We want to transcend various medium beyond the realm of video games."

Speaking to IGN for a video you can watch below, Nakamura explained that Unseen will build a team made up of international staff, saying, "A mix of cultures can be a breeding ground for new ideas, which is the real joy of starting a new studio."

While she wouldn't go into detail about Unseen's first game, Nakamura confirmed that it's begun development in some form, and that "we are putting a lot of care into the setting and characters."

"I want to make a game with characters that reflect real-life personalities and minorities," she added, "with an open-minded setting that represents multiple cultures."

As for what kind of game it will be, Nakamura hinted that she'd like to focus on her own pop culture interests: "I like mystery, I like horror films, I love zombies, and the supernatural and science fiction – I find these genres fascinating, and I’m good at them, so I want to keep working on games related to these subjects."

Interestingly, Nakamura isn't just thinking of Unseen as a game development studio. As she hints in the announcement trailer, Unseen will aim to work in a variety of mediums, and she explained more to IGN.

"I don't want to think only in terms of video games; I want to make new IP that can work as a variety of entertainment media," she said. "For example anime, education, apparel – I’d like to make a game that can have an impact on those kinds of media too, and to grow carefully."

As for the studio itself, Nakamura says that Unseen's level designer designed the development floor inside Unreal Engine 5, allowing the team to "walk around and remove things that didn’t work well, exchange ideas and decide on the layout together, just like making a game."

Nakamura says she doesn't want the space to feel like an office: "I want it to be a place where developers can come and go as they please, like nomads. It’s a new style of office."

Nakamura hasn't given any sense of when the first Unseen game will arrive,

Nakamura previously worked at Capcom on games including Okami, before joining Shinji Mikami's Tango Gameworks and contributing art for The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2. She came into the public eye in her role as creative director on the upcoming Ghostwire: Tokyo, but left the company after a period of health trouble. After touring a number of studios, she announced her own studio last year.
