Konami has officially announced Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood exclusively for PlayStation 4, launching this October.
Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night & Rondo of Blood has been announced for PS4 with an October 26 release date. We first got wind of the game last week, when an ESRB listing was spotted for the title in Korea.
Just a few days ago, it was rated for the west, but we still hadn't had official confirmation from Konami. The trailer has since dropped on YouTube and the company's Twitter account.

Who the Hell Is Bowsette and Why Is the Internet Obsessed With Her
If you've made it this far, it's already too late. The phenomenon known as Bowsette is dominating the internet and there's no turning back from the character created through a cruel morphing of Peach and Bowser.
Seriously, the Bowsette hybrid has gone on to inspire countless amounts of fan art, cosplay, and even a custom amiibo in just a matter of days. Most depict Bowsette as Peach donned with black apparel, spikes, two horns, and a strange affect that makes it hard to look away.
What makes this lunacy even more absurd is the fact that Bowsette is actually Bowser who has been transformed, seemingly leaving Peach out of the entire process.
Microsoft Announces the XO18 Fan Event
During today’s Inside Xbox livestream, Phil Spencer announced XO18, an event aimed towards Xbox fans around the world.
Detailed on the official Xbox website, XO18 will be hosted on Saturday, November 10 during the fourth-annual Xbox FanFest in Mexico City.
The event will be live-streamed as an Inside Xbox episode, so fans outside of Mexico can join in on promised announcements. This will be the largest Inside Xbox episode so far, reportedly clocking it at two hours long. There will be announcements from both first- and third-party developers.
This was announced along with mouse and keyboard support for Xbox One. Though not many details were given today, more about this developer-centric input support process will be revealed during XO18.
Forza Horizon 4 Post-Launch Roadmap Detailed
During today’s Inside Xbox livestream, Playground Games has laid out a post-launch roadmap for Forza Horizon 4 after it launches on October 2, both for individual purchase and on Xbox Game Pass.
Horizon 4 will change its in-game season every week after players have finished the early portion of the game, and after a full year of in-game seasons (four weeks) a new year will start with a batch of new content, the first starting on October 25.
The first season present at launch for Forza Horizon 4 will be summer, but this will shift to autumn on Thursday, 3:30 PM GMT and will change the season around the game world. This season change will happen at the same time every week, and will be shown via a countdown clock for gamers currently playing the game. If players are in the middle of something, the game will allow them to finish, then a brief cinematic showing the season change will be shown, with the new season changes in effect after the cinematic.

Xbox Avatars Update Coming Next Month
Xbox announced deeper customizations with avatars during the Inside Xbox live stream on Tuesday.
The focus was for avatars to become more inclusive, expressive, and creative for users to be able to further customize.
The new avatar system takes the old one to an entirely different level – it will be called the Xbox Avatar Editor.
Senior Program Manager of Xbox Avatars, Randy Santossio explained where the inspiration came from to make these changes to avatars.
"We agreed very early that we wanted to bring the best parts of the Xbox Original Avatar, add to that expressive goodness, and make it better."
Xbox Announces Mouse and Keyboard Support
During today’s Inside Xbox livestream, Phil Spencer announced that mouse and keyboard support is coming to Xbox One.
It will be on Xbox Preview in October, and will be initially tested on Warframe. The idea behind mouse and keyboard support will be as a tool for developers, so they can choose how they want the control style integrated, if they want it integrated at all.
“If you’re a dominant FPS player right now on controller and you’re worried that all the sudden you’re gonna get swamped because a bunch of mouse and keyboard players are gonna get flooded into your game, that’s not what we’re doing,” said Spencer. “We’re putting choice into the hands of the developers about the games that they want to bring."
