A roundup of the week's biggest gaming news

Ranking romance options in Persona games is always subjective, but a recent article from TheGamer reignited debate on which characters stand out across the series. From Persona 3 onward, Atlus has introduced romance mechanics that often divide the fanbase. Some characters are praised for their narrative depth, while others receive criticism for limited screen time or shallow development. This ongoing debate highlights the personal nature of the series' social link system.

Meanwhile, with Team Cherry's Hollow Knight: Silksong still in development, fans continue to ask whether it's best to play the original game first. GameRant recommends revisiting Hollow Knight before diving into Silksong, citing its role in establishing both the mechanics and lore of the sequel. However, the advice comes with a caveat: players eager to avoid burnout may prefer to wait and dive straight into Silksong upon release.

Elsewhere, Cyber Space Biotope unveiled a new trailer for Million Depth, an action-strategy title published by Playism. Scheduled for release this November on PC, the game features a striking time-bending combat system. A demo is expected in September, offering players a chance to test its unique gameplay blend before launch. The studio is optimistic that its mix of tactical planning and fast-paced action will resonate with fans.

Finally, Ubisoft has surprised fans of Assassin's Creed Mirage with a free content update. Two years after its launch, the game is receiving a second explorable city: al-Ula. This addition expands Mirage's already well-received world, underlining Ubisoft's commitment to supporting the title long-term and providing players with new opportunities for discovery and adventure.
