GRIME Definitive Edition – GRIME is a fast and unforgiving 2D action-adventure RPG in which you crush your foes with living weapons that mutate their form and function. Explore your surreal surroundings, parry and absorb the many enemies you encounter and use their own traits against them as you become far more than you once were. Conjure all of your might as you face their biggest challenges yet with a new explorable area, forcing even the most veteran of action-platformer players to lock-in and fight toe-to-toe with adversity, wrapping up the long hard-fought trilogy. Begin your journey today.
Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash – Dive into the world of JUJUTSU KAISEN and master the cursed techniques of your favorite Sorcerers and Cursed Spirits in this action-packed, two vs. two fighting game! Aim to become the strongest together by taking advantage of each character’s techniques and work together in harmony to assess the battle situation. Familiar members such as Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Nobara Kugisaki and Satoru Gojo, as well as Cursed Spirits such as Jogo and Hanami, will also participate in the game. Pre-order to receive the Jujutsu High First-Years Outfit Set, including costumes with four color variations for Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro and Kugisaki Nobara that can be used during battles. Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash launches on Feb. 2.
