Persona 5 makes a surprise announcement that doesn’t pertain to the previous project of P5R  there was a new teaser site of the critically acclaimed game persona 5 that is out on PS4 and PS3. The company revealed it was going to announce something related to the persona on the 25th of this month with a website that for some reason has P5S in the URL. It was announced that a new release of the PS4 version of the game was going to be coming out soon called Persona 5 The Royal but this announcement had its own website which has the URL of P5R in it.

A lot of the speculation that’s coming from this is the fact that Persona 5 main character is coming to the switch via Super Smash Brothers Ultimate a Nintendo exclusive that will be launching sometime this month so they consensus is that the P5S website is going to be the announcement that Persona 5 is being ported to the switch it would also be a nice touch if that the same day the character comes out in smash. Nintendo big 3.0 update is around the corner as they have confirmed it is in development and that joker would be coming out this month so all that is left to do is wait for the 25th to see what is in store.

Darksiders the first game out of the trilogy of games is remasted and making a return on the switch featuring the iconic story and gameplay of the original only beefed up visually and now portable. This hack and slash is the perfect time suck for anyone looking for that rich single player experience you dont get anymore since most developers focus multiplayer first which isn’t a bad thing its common practice and its always refreshing to get those single player only games back.

Darksiders: Warmastered features a ton of variety. For instance, you’ll gradually build your armory of gadgets and abilities as you progress. you’ll be engaged in combat with hordes of demons one moment the next you are face to face squaring off with a boss hundred times bigger than you, then all of a sudden you will be racking your brain trying to figure out the next step in a puzzle.

Darksiders: Warmastered being the first in a 3 game long saga each letting you play as one of the horsemen of the apocalypse this one being war and it being re-released out for the switch is the perfect way for people to jump in and witness the epic trilogy from the beginning and then jumping over to the sequels that live up to the hype of the first one.
