After MANY years in development, we finally got the first part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake back in 2020 for the PlayStation 4. This then necessitated a PS5 upgrade when the next-gen console launched later that same year. With FFVII Rebirth releasing just under a year ago, fans have been concerned that they might be waiting until the PS6 for the trilogy to conclude. Fortunately, this won’t be the case.
With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth now out on PC, the team at Square Enix have begun to look ahead to the future 3rd and final entry in this remake trilogy.
In an interview conducted by the Japanese publication Famitsu (and translated by Eurogamer), Final Fantasy series producer Yoshinori Kitase offered an update on the current development status of FFVII Remake part 3, claiming that work on the story is now complete, stating: “I'm very satisfied with it, so I'm sure the fans will be satisfied with the final chapter.”
Beyond this, in another interview (this time with 4Gamer and translated by VGC), Kitase was informed of concerns from fans that the final entry in the trilogy could arrive as late as the PS6 generation. Qualming these fears, the producer simply stated “No, you can rest assured about the next one.”
Given just how long it took for Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy VII Remake to fruition, it is a welcome surprise to see the team’s commitment to getting the full trilogy out as soon as possible.
KitGuru says: Are you excited for FFVII Remake part 3? What do you think it will be called? When do you expect the final entry to be released? Let us know down below.

In the years since, the game has found its way to additional platforms – with Xbox players receiving Strive in 2023 – and now the Switch. In alignment with this latest launch, Arc System Works have shared updated sales figures for Guilty Gear Strive.
As part of the Guilty Gear Strive Nintendo Switch launch trailer, the team at Arc System works revealed that the fighting game had reached a new milestone of over 3 million copies sold.
For context, while the team did previously share the news that Strive had surpassed 3 million players, its addition to Game Pass meant that concrete unit sales could not be determined at the time.
That said, the explicit use of the term ‘selling 3 million copies’ removes any ambiguity, and means that Strive has officially sold 3x more units than any other entry in the Guilty Gear series.
With Strive now available on Switch – and the likes of Lucy from Cyberpunk Edgerunners set to join the roster later this year – it seems as though the game still has plenty more runway to reach even higher heights.
KitGuru says: What do you think of Guilty Gear Strive? Is it the best entry in the series? Will the game surpass 5 million copies sold? Let us know down below.

Ever since Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, we’ve seen the console maker slowly but surely bring over the publisher’s back catalogue to its Game Pass subscription service. Following the likes of Call of Duty, Diablo and Spyro, Crash Bandicoot 4 is reportedly set to finally join Game Pass next month.
As reported by known industry leakers Insider-Gaming, Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass line-up for February has been partially revealed, with the publication claiming:
“Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time will be one of the major titles releasing coming to Xbox Game Pass in February alongside Obsidian Entertainment's Avowed and other announced titles such as Far Cry New Dawn.”
Beyond this, Madden NFL 25 will reportedly also arrive on the service at some point in February. Of course, each month Microsoft adds well over a dozen titles to Game Pass (with January seeing around 20 new games) and so the full line-up should be much more comprehensive.
Still, with just how long it took for the acquisition of Activision to be completed, it is somewhat surprising to see these older titles taking this much time to be added.
KitGuru says: What do you think of the sneak peek for next month’s line-up? Should Crash 4 have been added already? Do you care about Madden NFL? Let us know down below.

The launch of AMD's Radeon RX 9070 series has been more confusing than expected. After their absence at CES 2025, AMD has been slow to share details on these GPUs, only stating that the cards would come out in Q1 2025. Since then, a more specific release has been confirmed for March, but now, a retailer might have specified the exact day.
While AMD has initially stated that the RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 will launch in Q1 2025, rumours have been swirling about a more specific release date, with January 22nd or 23rd being the most frequently mentioned targets. However, an AMD representative has confirmed these graphics cards will be coming out in March, meaning we'll have to wait two more months.
Recently, B&H Photo Video (via VideoCardz), a major US retailer that previously listed the RX 9070 series for release on January 23rd, has changed the date to March 23rd, specifying which day the cards would be available. However, March 23rd falls on a Sunday, and while review embargoes are occasionally lifted on weekends, it's an unusual practice. It's more likely that B&H Photo Video pushed the date back by two months as a temporary measure while awaiting confirmation from AMD.
This latest development adds to the already perplexing situation surrounding the RX 9070 series launch. Retailers have been stocking the cards since early January, and some reviewers have reportedly received samples in late December. Yet, AMD has remained tight-lipped about an official release date, leaving many in limbo.
Several factors could be contributing to this delay. AMD might be facing production challenges, fine-tuning its pricing strategy in response to Nvidia's RTX 50 series launch, or simply prioritising software optimisation.

While its unit sales were initially hampered by global shortages and other pandemic-related issues, the past few years have seen Sony selling PS5s out the wazoo – more than making up for the time lost during 2020-21. 4 years on from its launch and the PS5 is reportedly outpacing last generation’s PlayStation 4 in the US. Unfortunately, it seems the same can’t be said for the Xbox Series X|S.
As reported by industry analyst Mat Piscatella, in the 50 months since both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S launched, US sales for Sony’s system have been outpacing that of the PS4 – currently 7% ahead of their last-gen machine (launch-aligned).
Given the fact that the PS4 went on to sell over 117 million units globally, seeing growth in this regard is nothing but good news for the console maker.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the Xbox One generation of consoles fell far behind that of the PS4, the Series X|S has reportedly failed to even match its own previous standard, with Piscatella revealing that Series X|S is currently trailing behind the Xbox One by a not-so-insignificant 18%.
Of course, the video games market expands far beyond just the USA, but with it being one of the strongest regions for Xbox historically, this drop in sales is somewhat concerning.
KitGuru says: What do you think of the figures shared? Are you surprised by Xbox’s drop? Will the PlayStation 5 outsell the PS4 when all is said and done? Let us know down below.
The post PlayStation 5’s US lifetime sales outpace PS4 as Series X|S trails behind the Xbox One first appeared on KitGuru.Nvidia appears to be cooking up a graphics card behemoth with 96GB of GDDR7 memory. The new card has been spotted on a shipping manifest without a name, but the memory configuration was clearly mentioned.
The report comes from ComputerBase, which found shipping manifests detailing a new Nvidia GPU with a 512-bit memory interface and a massive 96GB frame buffer. Interestingly, this 96GB of memory suggests the card uses 3GB GDDR7 modules in a clamshell configuration, a departure from the 2GB modules found in the RTX 5090.
While NVIDIA has already introduced 3GB GDDR7 modules in the RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, this marks the first time we've seen them in a desktop card. However, this 96GB monster is likely destined for the professional workstation market rather than gaming rigs. Moreover, the exact model name remains unclear, but it could be the next-generation RTX 6000 or even an RTX 8000 based on the Blackwell architecture. The manifests confirm that the card features a PG153 board, which hasn't been used in gaming cards.
If this is indeed the RTX 6000 Blackwell, it will have double the memory capacity of its predecessor, the RTX 6000 Ada. While the TDP remains unknown, it will likely use the GB202 GPU, the only Blackwell desktop GPU with a 512-bit memory bus. Historically, Nvidia's workstation GPUs have featured higher CUDA core counts than their gaming counterparts. This suggests that this 96 GB beast could pack even more than the 21,760 CUDA cores of the RTX 5090, possibly using the full GB202 die with 24,576 CUDA cores.
KitGuru says: With these specs, this upcoming Nvidia GPU is shaping up to be a workstation titan. It's likely to find its home in fields like AI research, scientific computing, and content creation, where massive datasets and complex workloads require extreme memory capacity and processing power. Still, one can wonder how it will perform in gaming.

It's been two years since NVIDIA introduced its Ada Lovelace GPUs, kicking things off with the RTX 4090 and finishing up the initial lineup with the SUPER family At CES, the company unveiled its new RTX 50 "Blackwell" family which features a brand new architecture and several changes such as new cores, AI accelerators, new memory standards, and the latest video/display capabilities. Today, NVIDIA is releasing the last and fastest card within its "RTX 50" portfolio, the GeForce RTX 5090. The GeForce RTX 5090 is a top-of-the-line graphics card, designed for enthusiast gamers and prosumers, and features a gargantuan price […]

If you are a regular viewer or reader of KitGuru you’ll know that we usually publish two or three review videos a week throughout the whole year. This might sound like quite an easy job but behind the scenes, things are not always so simple. Because of our thorough testing process, from time to time we find significant faults with products and things don’t quite go to plan. How the company deals with our feedback on issues can vary depending on the company in question – some react well, others not so much.
In our most recent video, we talk about how our intensive and thorough testing led us to find a significant fault with a new Fractal PC case due to launch at the end of the month. However, after presenting our feedback on the issue to Fractal, the company launched an investigation and cancelled the planned launch. We thought it was a great response from Fractal and it showed how valuable third party testing is for new products as the consumer will get a better product because of it.
KitGuru says: We have to commend Fractal for how it handled this issue. The company took our feedback on board, recognised the fault after mass production had started, and pulled the product from launch until it was satisfied that the quality met the usual standard that is expected of Fractal and its customers!

The Sonic series has had its ups and downs over the past many years, but the Blue Blur seems to be on a bit of a hot streak at the moment; having recently released the remaster/expansion Sonic x Shadow Generations to immediate sales success. Since its arrival in October 2024, the game has continued to sell well – now surpassing 2 million total copies.
As reported by the publication Gematsu, SEGA has now confirmed that Sonic x Shadow Generations has officially sold over 2 million copies since its launch back in late October.
For content, the game was reported to have surpassed 1 million total sales within the first 24 hours. This figure was then updated to 1.5 million within its first month on the market, meaning Sonic x Shadow Generations’ sales did indeed see a significant drop in the time since.
Even so, the game’s success is notable, especially as it was primarily a remaster of a game from 2011 (which had already sold over 6 million copies).
With it now abundantly clear that there is great fan interest in SEGA bringing back Sonic’s older adventures to modern systems, hopefully we see the likes of Unleashed, Heroes and more be remastered in the not-too-distant future.
KitGuru says: What did you think of Sonic x Shadow Generations? Was it a worthy remaster? What other Sonic titles would you like to see modernised next? Let us know down below.

With the showcase concluded, it has now been confirmed that this surprise was in fact a brand new entry in the much-loved Ninja Gaiden series – coming sooner than you’d think.
Making the surprise announcement during the Xbox Developer Direct, Microsoft confirmed that the long-dormant franchise will be returning later this year with the release of Ninja Gaiden 4, saying:
“The definitive ninja action-adventure franchise returns with NINJA GAIDEN 4! Embark on a cutting-edge adventure where legacy meets innovation in a high-octane blend of style and no-holds-barred combat.”
Set to be published by Xbox Games Studios themselves (and coming as a day-one Game Pass drop), this latest entry in the classic hack and slash series will be co-developed by spectacle fighter specialists ‘PlatinumGames’ alongside Team Ninja themselves.
Most surprisingly, Ninja Gaiden 4 is slated to release later this year, some time during Fall 2025 – meaning the teams managed to keep this under wraps for quite a while now.
Finally, it’s worth noting that while the game is set to be published by Xbox, and will be coming day-one to Game Pass, Ninja Gaiden 4 will be a multiplatform release.
PlatinumGames’ track record has been somewhat hit or miss in recent years, however, there is no denying that the team know how to make great looking melee action. Hopefully this marks a grand return for this long-dormant franchise.

One game which was promised to be at the event was DOOM: The Dark Ages. Sure enough, ID Software’s upcoming FPS made an appearance with 10 minutes of new footage – as well as the game’s release date.
Sharing a 10 minute deep-dive into the upcoming DOOM: The Dark Ages, the team at ID Software highlighted many of the mechanics set to come to the threequel, including a focus on projectile-based combat and a nifty new shield.
Of course, the big news from the deep-dive was DOOM: The Dark Ages’ release date. While it did leak slightly ahead of time, the team officially confirmed that the game will arrive for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on the 15th of May.
It's been quite a few years since ID Software’s DOOM: Eternal, and while the changes made to its gameplay didn’t necessarily resonate with everyone, it’s cool to see the team continue to innovate on what it means to be a modern DOOM game.
