While Mai Shiranui was announced as part of the Street Fighter 6 Season 2 DLC update, Capcom has been pretty tight-lipped about her, and that’s been a subject of contention for fans of the iconic fighting game character.

Just when you thought 2025 was already packed to the brim with action RPGs, Bandai Namco and Rebel Wolves studio surprises us with yet game that has the makings of a contender. This time, it’s The Blood of Dawnwalker, an action RPG featuring vampires, developed by Rebel Wolves studio.

While the next-generation full-body haptic suit from bHaptics, the Tactsuit Pro, has been available for some time, I had the opportunity to experience it firsthand during CES 2025.

For the first time, Baron from Lv1 Gaming and I headed out to Las Vegas to attend CES 2025, and despite being overwhelmed, enjoyed the show has some things to say about the adventure.
