Deus Ex Remastered has officially been announced, bringing a beloved cyberpunk classic into the modern era. The remaster is set to include significant visual upgrades, gameplay enhancements, and quality-of-life improvements that aim to make the experience accessible for a new generation of players while respecting the original's legacy. According to VGC, the project has been carefully designed to maintain the tone and depth of the 2000 original, which is often hailed as one of the most influential immersive sims of all time.
The remaster is scheduled for release on February 5, 2026, and will launch across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Aspyr has even teased fans with a short but atmospheric announcement trailer, showcasing updated visuals that highlight the game's futuristic environments. With so many platforms supported, both returning fans and newcomers will have the chance to experience Deus Ex in its most polished form yet.
Yakuza fans have reason to celebrate, as Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Tides have been revealed as a bundled release coming in early 2026. This collection will feature a remake of Yakuza 3 alongside Dark Tides, a brand-new DLC focusing on the backstory of the enigmatic character Yoshitaka Mine. SEGA shared the official announcement trailer, highlighting both the polished visuals of Kamurocho and the emotionally charged narrative beats that the series is famous for.
The bundle will release on February 12, 2026, with availability confirmed for PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2. For many fans, this is the perfect chance to dive back into one of the most character-driven sagas in gaming history. As PC Gamer noted, Yakuza Kiwami 3 remains both "beautiful and ridiculous", striking the perfect balance between melodramatic storytelling and absurd side activities. Adding Dark Tides to the package ensures the release is more than just a remake—it's a fresh chapter for longtime fans.
