  • Saints Row IV release date has slipped in AU, falling back to September 12 from its initial August release. This doesn’t bode well for the series as sandbox rival GTAV is just five days later.
  • Xbone exclusive Killer Insitinct will be a free to download title complete with one free character, namely Jago. The rest will cost $5 each or can be bought in packs for $20. Microsoft are adamant that the reboot is not a “cash-in” but “a real front line game that people fall in love with.”
  • Castlevania: Mirror of Fate is following Resident Evil Revelations’ lead by making the jump from 3DS to HD. The game will be released on PC, XBOX 360 and PS3 in November this year.
