Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Tops 2026 Charts with 91 Metacritic Score

Released on September 17, 2026, the PS5 remake of Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter has become the highest-rated game of the year, securing a 91 on Metacritic and a 4.87/5 user score on the PlayStation Store. Developed by Nihon Falcom and published by GungHo Online Entertainment, the title outperforms major recent releases like Marvel’s Wolverine, Control Resonant, and Silent Hill: Townfall in both critical and consumer metrics. Priced at $60, the game is a direct sequel to the 1st Chapter remake, requiring prior knowledge of the story for full comprehension. While it lacks mainstream penetration, its unique political and character-driven narrative has earned praise from its dedicated fanbase, with users comparing it favorably to Persona and Suikoden series.

Project Phoenix Gets New Life, Targeting 2031 Release After 18-Year Wait

RPG Project Phoenix, the crowdfunded JRPG by CIA, Inc. that raised over $1 million in 2013, has released its first update in seven years. Director Hiroaki Yura apologizes for the long silence, explains past delays (2015 and 2018) and says Kickstarter funds were used to support Phoenix rather than personal gain. The update includes a rough Nobuo Uematsu main theme and a short gameplay prototype, with production now targeted to finish by the end of 2031 and a release date to be announced afterward.
