JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Ora Ora Overdrive PC Version Planned

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Ora Ora Overdrive, developed by gumi, was released in Japan on September 25, 2025. The tactical RPG gained over 1.5 million downloads in its first month and reached the top of free downloads, generating approximately 700 million yen (around .5 million USD) in its launch week. Gumi plans to introduce a Guild vs. Guild mode and a potential PC version to enhance revenue and player engagement. Despite initial success, gumi reported a temporary operating loss due to limited revenue contribution and significant advertising expenses of approximately 435 million yen (about .7 million USD). The company projects a profit increase in Q3 as the game will contribute to revenue for a full quarter, and marketing expenditures are expected to stabilize. The game features grid-based, isometric battles with characters from the first six parts of the JoJo saga, a gacha system for unlocking characters, and a main story mode with new character renders and full voice acting.

“Out of all the 40k options, they picked this?”: Fans are furious about the reveal of Darktide’s new class—and they might have a point this time

The new class revealed for Darktide is 'Hive Scum,' a character archetype centered around a common criminal. The announcement was met with disappointment from the community, with many fans expressing disbelief and frustration over the choice, feeling it lacked the excitement of more unique options available in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The Hive Scum's arsenal includes makeshift weapons like guns, shivs, and crowbars, which fans find underwhelming compared to the iconic weaponry in the setting. The decision to introduce this class may stem from practical limitations faced by the developer, Fatshark, as they may not have the resources to create entirely new character types in a short timeframe. The ongoing disconnect between community expectations and the developer's offerings has led to tension among players.
