Multiplayer returns to the Metal Gear franchise after twelve years
After an absence of 12 years, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is bringing back multiplayer, but Konami cautions fans to expect a completely different experience than the original Metal Gear Online. Announced at Konami's Press Start Live event, the new multiplayer mode titled Fox Hunt is something like hide-and-seek on steroids, with a dash of camouflage thrown in.
According to Yu Sahara, director of the multiplayer aspect, 'Fox Hunt is a completely original online multiplayer mode. Although it shares the same world with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the gameplay is completely different.' That said, he did acknowledge the nostalgia fans have for the original Metal Gear Online. 'When we say Metal Gear multiplayer, many fans will probably think of Metal Gear Online, but Fox Hunt will be its own new type of mode. We very much appreciate all the long-time fans of MGO who have always wanted to see it make a comeback, but the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot since MGO. It took a lot of careful consideration to think about what a new online mode should look like.'

Sahara continues, 'We challenged ourselves to make something unique that is more than just a shoot-out. We've used that back-and-forth tension or searching out the enemy to create an online experience unique to Metal Gear.'

Though the team shared no further details, Sahara said he will have more information later and asked fans to stay tuned to Konami's official pages to find out more. Konami also revealed more information about the main game, including updates to its AI and animations.
In addition to news about Metal Gear Solid, the Press Start Live event also announced that the Suikoden I & II Remaster is coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Horror fans can celebrate, too: Konami also announced a remake of the first Silent Hill game is in the works.

‘First Night With The Duke' Has Fun With A Fantasy One Night Stand
First Night With The Duke is a lighthearted k-drama romance about an unhappy modern-day woman who wakes up in her favorite novel and spends an unexpected night with a prince. It's not a fairy tale ending. At least not right away. When he assumes they will marry, she tries to escape. Is marrying a handsome prince such a bad idea? Yes and no. It's not how the story is supposed to go. Seohyun plays K, a young woman who retreats from the real world by reading a romantic historical novel. Her real life can't compare to the novel, so she stops paying attention to real life. She's on leave from her job and the bills are piling up. None of that is as interesting as the romance between the novel's poor orphan Eun-Jae and the handsome prince Yi Beon. Then one day K falls into the novel. It's an improvement. In the novel world she's Cha Sun-Chaek, a side character without too much to do except enjoy her fictional family's wealth. Then the plot goes sideways. The handsome but short-tempered prince, Yi Beon, played by Taecyeon, doesn't meet the female lead that he must fall in love with. At least according to the novel. Instead he saves a very drunken Sun-chaek, who promptly spends the night with him. One night is all it takes for him to propose. It's not just that she seduced him. He's also intrigued by how much she seems to know about the inner workings of his mind. As a faithful reader she read his thoughts on the printed page. K/Sun-chaek knows that the prince is supposed to meet Jo Eun-ae, played by Kwon Han-sol, a character she genuinely likes. She loves the novel and doesn't want it to change. She's also afraid that if she becomes the prince's fiancée, she might be targeted by the cruel noblewoman Do Hwa-seon, played by Ji Hye-won (Hierarchy). Hwa-seon wants to marry the prince and will seek to eliminate any rivals. Sun-chaek tries to run but the prince is determined to find her and get her to accept his proposal. Acting in a fantasy rom-com like this must be a lot of fun and Seohyun and Taecyeon play their roles to great comic effect. Both actors have demonstrated their comedy skills before, Seohyun memorably in Jinxed At First and Taecyeon in Vincenzo, Seohyun, a member of Girls Generation, can also be seen in the dramas such as Private Lives and Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, while Taecyeon, a member of the k-pop group 2PM, appeared in the dramas Heartbeat and Save Me. First Night With The Duke also stars Seo Bum-june (Hierarchy), playing Jung Su-gyeom, an officer who is Yi Beon's only friend. A note to viewers who like historical dramas for the costumes, the art production in this drama is lovely and the hanboks are ornately embroidered. The novel's fictional world is suitably embellished with richly patterned silks, colorful ornaments, flowers and decor. First Night With The Duke is directed by Lee Woong-hee, who directed My Perfect Stranger. The story is based on the webnovel "Namjuui Cheotnalbameul Gajeobeoryeodda' by Hwang Do-tol (published on Naver).

I played 9 games at Tribeca Fest. They all need to be on your radar
Here's a tip for anyone who's trying to scout out the next great indie game: Pay attention to Tribeca Fest. A few years ago, the film festival expanded its modern, multimedia approach to include video games as official selections. In that time, it has showcased a who's who of indie games that went on to become critical darlings. We're talking games like Blue Prince, Immortality, Despelote, and Chants of Sennaar — all of which went on to become some of the best reviewed games of the 2020's here at Digital Trends. You will always find something truly special at Tribeca Fest. This year's show is no different. Nine upcoming games were in competition at the festival this year, and all of them are poised to become breakout indies. Because we love nothing more than scouting promising indies, Digital Trends attended this year's Tribeca Fest and checked out what this year's show had to offer. From a stylish beat-em-up to a 90s coming of age tale soundtracked by the likes of Devo, these nine games should be on your radar. Recommended Videos Absolum Publisher Dotemu has mad a name for itself over the last few years by putting out throwback beat-em-ups like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, but it's trying something new. Absolum is a completely original game created in part by some of the folks behind the excellent Streets of Rage 4. The team is putting its 2D brawler chops to good use by adapting a classic genre into a modern roguelike. The result seems to be a success so far, as Absolum delivers precise 2D action, multi-path runs that house hidden quests, and gorgeously illustrated art that makes it look like a playable cartoon. This could very much be the genre's next big moment, so keep your eyes on it. Cairn I'm not sure why the trend started, but we've gotten a few games about rock climbing in the past few years. First there was Jusant. Then, Surmount. Now, The Game Bakers are jumping in with an even more involved free climbing simulation in Cairn. The twist here is that players aren't just reaching to grab handholds while climbing mountains. They will have to control all four limbs, planting their feet to steady themselves and reaching with each hand. The demo I played highlighted a tough, but rewarding climbing game where I had to think carefully about each movement and place my pitons at just the right moment. My 30-minute climb resulted in a lot of deaths, but the moment when I finally reached the top made it all worth it. Death Howl Death Howl is a tactics game that's unlike anything I've really played. The pixel art adventure is steeped in Scandinavian folklore, following a parent on a quest to find their child. That journey takes them through the dark and eerie woods. I can freely explore that space, but anytime I find an enemy, I'm dropped into a tactics grid. There, I need to play cards to attack and move. When I win a battle, I can use the creatures' parts to make even more cards. The tactics component is tough, forcing me to think about each of my limited actions carefully as I alternate attacking and building up shield. But ultimately, it's the atmosphere that really makes Death Howl stand out, as it feels like a dark fable punctuated by strategic battles. Dispatch When I sat down to play Dispatch, I had entirely forgotten that I was already familiar with the new narrative adventure game. It was first revealed back at The Game Awards via an Aaron Paul cameo. After getting hands-on with it, I sure won't forget it again anytime soon. The unique project follows a former superhero who gets a job at a dispatch center that sends heroes out on jobs. When I'm not learning about my foul-mouthed coworkers through genuinely hilarious choice-driven cutscenes, I'm keeping my eyes on a call center app that shows me different crises throughout the city. I need to pick the best cape for the job based on their powers and stats, being careful not to exhaust anyone right before they could be most useful. It's a bit like Promise Mascot Agency, but it almost plays out like a fast-paced strategy game that all happens on a map. I'm all in on the world and humor here so I can't wait to se what surprises the story has in store. Mio: Memories in Orbit Hollow Knight: Silksong may be on every Metroidvania fan's tongue right now, but Mio: Memories in Orbit could come out of left field and steal its thunder. The stylish new indie, published by Focus Entertainment, throws me into a beautiful sci-fi world that looks like it was torn out of a sketchbook. It's as if all of its environments were meticulously drawn with colored pencils. That alone would have been enough to earn my attention during my demo, but I found the demo I played engrossing beyond that. Deep exploration in a secret-filled world, tough but fair combat, and a perk system that gives players ways to tweak their playstyle. It has all the markings of a surprise hit already. Mixtape Developer Beethoven and Dinosaur made a name for itself in 2021 with its rocking debut, The Artful Escape. Its next game, Mixtape, takes that energy and pushes it to the next level in every way. The narrative adventure is a 90s coming of age slacker comedy about a group of small town skaters looking to break free. The demo I tried had me reliving their memories, which played out as unpredictable minigames. One had me escaping the cops via shopping cart after a house party gets busted. Another had me controlling a French kiss by slapping two tongues together with each joystick. It's hilarious, sincere, and full of excellent needle drops that bring its period piece setting to life with authenticity. It was one of the best games we saw at Summer Game Fest, and it was for Tribeca Fest too. Possessor(s) Possessor(s) is the latest game behind Heart Machine, the studio behind Hyper Light Drifter, and you'll probably be able to tell that just by looking at it. The 2D Metroidvania contains all of the team's signatures, from stylish art to a moody world that begs to be explored. While its action-adventure formula is familiar, I'm looking forward to seeing where its eerie story goes. The slice I played introduced me to a dystopian world run by mega corporations. I took on the role of a hero who makes a deal with a demon to both save her life and fight back against the powers that be. That's an intriguing enough premise already to draw me further into the eerie world. Sleep Awake We only learned about Blumhouse Games' existence one year ago, but the new horror publisher is already on a roll. Fresh off of releasing Fear the Spotlight and demoing two new games at Summer Game Fest, it dropped by Tribeca this year with the memorable Sleep Awake. The creepy, psycadelic project is set in a world where those who fall asleep are at risk of disappearing to some mysterious plague. The character I controlled during my demo had to stay awake at all costs, fighting off hallucinations as they explore a dark, dystopian city. With some unsettling filmed imagery between bouts of first-person sneaking, Sleep Awake feels like the exact kind of game you'd expect from Blumhouse. Take Us North Take Us North was the smallest game featured at Tribeca Fest this year, but also the most important. The survival game follows a coyote who helps usher migrants across the Mexico-US border. Just as is the case in real life, pulling that off is a life-risking task. After stocking up on food, water, and other gear, we set off across a desert avoiding immigration agents, rattlesnakes, and an oppressive sun that drains our thirst meter. While that happens, I learn more about the people I'm leading across the border and why it's so imperative for them to find a new life. Based off of real stories, Take Us North is a vital game for the moment as protests against ICE mount across the United States. An educational game that demystifies what immigrants are going through is exactly what these dark times call for. Developer Anima Interactive currently has a Kickstarter up for the project if you're looking to learn more or support its development.

Actor Sanya Malhotra Enters Wellness Sector with Launch of BREE Matcha
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. In a strategic move that marks her debut as an entrepreneur, Bollywood actor Sanya Malhotra has joined hands with wellness industry's Dr. Kunal Shah and Siddharth Shah—founders of Essenzaa Nutrition—to launch BREE Matcha, a lifestyle brand rooted in traditional Japanese tea culture. The announcement, detailed in a press release by BREE Matcha, positions the brand at the intersection of ancient rituals and modern Indian wellness habits. BREE Matcha introduces three core products—Everyday Matcha, Ceremonial Matcha, and a Ceremonial Matcha Kit—sourced directly from Kagoshima, Japan. The brand is built on the foundation of matcha's reputed benefits, including sustained energy, improved focus, and antioxidant support, without the side effects typically associated with caffeine consumption. The products also reflect Essenzaa Nutrition's 14-year track record in clean-label, clinically supported wellness formulations. For Malhotra, the project stems from personal experience. "At a time when everything feels urgent, BREE Matcha is my personal reminder to slow down and be intentional," she said. The actor, known for her offbeat roles and grounded public image, shared that adopting matcha into her daily routine helped her find calm amid the chaos of a demanding career. The collaboration took root when Malhotra's growing affinity for matcha intersected with Essenzaa's exploration into functional superfoods tailored to Indian consumers. What began as a casual conversation evolved into a brand that seeks to offer more than just a beverage. "We wanted to introduce a product that aligns with both health and lifestyle," said Dr. Kunal Shah. "BREE is not just about energy, it's about how you choose to show up in your day." Essenzaa Nutrition, which exports wellness products to over 23 countries, sees BREE as a natural evolution in its mission to offer thoughtful health solutions. Siddharth Shah, co-founder of the company, emphasized the cultural and behavioral aspect of the initiative. "BREE Matcha is not just a beverage—it's a movement towards conscious consumption and modern wellness," he said. "Our vision is to make matcha a part of everyday rituals for the new-age Indian consumer."
