Key Takeaways

📺 What to Expect from the Next Dissidia Final Fantasy Game

Square Enix has officially confirmed that a new Dissidia Final Fantasy game is on the horizon, marking a fresh chapter in the long-running crossover franchise that unites heroes and villains from across the Final Fantasy universe. According to IGN's coverage of the announcement, this latest entry will launch exclusively on iOS and Android devices, signaling a shift from the series' console roots. While many fans remember Dissidia Final Fantasy NT on PlayStation 4 for its arena-style battles and cinematic flair—showcased in its opening cinematic on PlayStation's official channel—the upcoming mobile release hints at a new direction for the franchise.


Square Enix plans to reveal more details, including a possible gameplay trailer and release information, on October 14, 2025. A short teaser from the publisher titled "A NEW DISSIDIA FINAL FANTASY" already has fans speculating about which iconic characters will return and how the game's mechanics will adapt to mobile touch controls. Whether it continues the 3D arena battles of its predecessors or introduces a more streamlined system remains to be seen. Given the franchise's pedigree for stylish combat and sweeping orchestral scores, expectations are high. As someone who's been deeply immersed in gaming culture for years, I can see how this mobile direction could open Dissidia to a broader audience while offering on-the-go accessibility.

📺 How Norse Oath of Blood Sets the Stage for a Brutal Viking Saga

The newly released story trailer for Norse Oath of Blood has given players their first real look at what to expect from this turn-based Viking RPG. The official trailer on YouTube offers an atmospheric glimpse into a world steeped in Norse mythology, vengeance, and sacrifice. From the haunting music to the frostbitten landscapes, it's clear the developers are going for a deeply narrative experience. Players will step into the boots of warriors bound by blood and destiny, facing gods and beasts in a quest that blends mythic storytelling with strategic gameplay.


The game will also be featured during the Steam Next Fest 2025, allowing players to try a free demo and experience its combat system firsthand. This kind of early access is invaluable for both developers and players—it not only builds community feedback but also generates buzz ahead of launch. Norse Oath of Blood seems poised to join the growing ranks of successful indie RPGs inspired by Viking lore, from Valheim's survival sandbox to Assassin's Creed Valhalla's epic raids. For fans of tactical RPGs, this could be one of the most promising new titles to emerge from the festival.

📺 When and How to Join Steam Next Fest 2025

The Steam Next Fest 2025 has officially begun, running from October 13 to October 20, 2025, and it's one of the most exciting events of the year for PC gamers. According to the official trailer on Steam's YouTube channel, this year's festival offers hundreds of free game demos, developer livestreams, and sneak peeks at upcoming releases. From indie studios to major publishers, everyone participates, giving players a unique chance to explore what's next in gaming before full releases hit the store.


Downloading demos during Steam Next Fest is simple. Just open your Steam client or browser, navigate to the Next Fest page, and click Play Demo on any featured title. The demos install directly to your library, often under a "Demo" category, and can be played instantly. Once the event ends, most demos are removed, so it's best to act fast if you want to experience as many titles as possible. Valve's annual showcase has become a critical testing ground for developers—feedback from these demos often helps shape the final versions of upcoming games.
