A Steam achievement leak is the day's big story, outing Persona 6 and Kingdom Hearts IV as real, in-development projects. The Zelda Ocarina of Time remake gets its first proper details, but early reactions to Princess Zelda's redesign are already souring the mood.
The biggest story today comes from a trophy tracking site, not an official announcement.
Steam achievement lists for Persona 6 and Kingdom Hearts IV appeared on Exophase, a trophy tracking site. Two outlets picked this up, and it's the clearest signal yet that both games are in active development, even without official word from Atlus or Square Enix.
Nintendo finally showed its hand on the Ocarina of Time remake, but not everyone is happy with what they saw.
Nintendo finally shared the first proper details on the Ocarina of Time remake during the series' 40th Anniversary Direct. Director Eiji Aonuma emphasized balancing faithfulness with modern enhancements like improved textures and lighting.
Polygon's critique of Princess Zelda's visual redesign in the remake is blunt: the attempt to evoke the original N64 low-poly look landed on 'gnome' instead of 'elf.' It's an early sign the remake's art direction might be divisive.
A companion piece from Polygon runs through five genuinely new features in the remake, including a quest log, a jump button, and a karaoke mini-game. It's a useful counterpoint to the redesign criticism.
A handful of other announcements round out a busy day.
A former Bethesda employee revealed that Todd Howard personally chose to make Starfield over The Elder Scrolls 6, and that few at the studio wanted to work on it. This reframes the long wait for TES6 as a deliberate choice, not just scheduling.
