Kazutaka Kodaka, creator of the Danganronpa series and most recently Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE, has announced with a tweetto announce a “crazy” new title “in the not too distant future.”
“The game I’m working so hard on right now – the scenario is so crazy and so exciting that I end up working harder than anything else,” Kodaka said.
He continues: “Even when things get difficult or tedious, I end up either working or writing scenarios instead of playing or resting. This is perhaps the first time I’ve become so obsessed with a work. I wonder if I’ll burn myself out. In any case, the announcement and release are not too far away, so I want everyone to look forward to it. And well, I’m tired, so I hope you can cheer me on.”
When Too Kyo Games announced its founding in September 2018, the company announced four projects in production with concept art. Of these four projects, only one has yet to be officially announced: “A game with a common scenario by Kazutaka Kodaka x Kotaro Uchikoshi: Limit x Despair.” Kodaka also alludes to the title in his tweet with corresponding hashtags.
Here is the artwork that was included in the project description:
Keyword “Kotaro Uchikoshi”: He also alluded to the project in his recent New Year’s message. “Our next project is particularly fitting for the name ‘too kyo’, as it is a game that can only be described as crazy, and I hope to announce it next year. “It’s a game that we’re all passionate about and we’re all vomiting blood (sic) making it, so please support us when the time comes,” said Kodaka.

Project Wingman is a VR flight simulator in which you engage in gunfights in modern jets. Project Wingman: Frontline 59 brings the game to PS5 and PSVR2. We got to try it out at gamescom and here are three reasons to try out the game.
PSVR2 features
One of the possibilities of the new PSVR2 is eye tracking. The headset follows your eyes and knows what you are focusing on. Project Wingman: Frontline 59 uses this to help you aim.
Aiming in an airplane can be extremely difficult. You’re doing anything and everything at the same time. You have to find your enemies and keep them in your sight in a 3D environment, which is quite a challenge in itself. Meanwhile, you fly around in one of the fastest vehicles in the world, while your opponents do the same. Moreover, you have to avoid enemy fire with the somewhat complicated controls of a fighter jet. So if they can give us something, we won’t say no to it.
The VR headset uses eye tracking for the lock-on system that you use to fire your heat-seeking missiles at your enemies. Of course, you still have to do the normal shooting yourself by aiming the nose of your plane at an enemy airship. In addition, headset rumble is also used, so that you know if you are hit, or if something just flies past the ___pit. This way you are drawn into the action and everything feels a lot more realistic.

VR not required
Although we were advised that VR is really the best way to experience the game, something we fully understand, you can also play Project Wingman on the flat screen.
This is particularly nice if, like us, you are sensitive to motion sickness. With the fast movements in a 3D environment, it can really turn the stomach on its side. And that is certainly true for VR. So we appreciate the opportunity to play it in a flat environment for a while.
Of course you can also alternate. This allows you to relax without having to put the game down completely. Especially longer playing sessions can eventually cause a nauseous feeling. Or you can still experience that VR experience every now and then if you can’t handle it very well. Because it really is more fun.
New campaign
The new subtitle Frontline 59 not only announces the port to PS5. It also introduces a new roughly three-hour campaign on top of the existing campaign. The developers didn’t want to say too much about this yet, because it is still in development and players have to discover it for themselves. But it is extra content.
That’s on top of the story taking place during a war in an alternate version of Earth. There is also Conquest, a mode with roguelite elements that tests your strategy and resource management against multiple waves of enemies. That makes Frontline 59 the best version of Project Wingman you can play.
Release date still unknown
At the moment, all we know is that Project Wingman: Frontline 59 will be released “sometime in 2023.” However, the year is already well under way, so you may be able to start working on it soon.
These were three reasons to play Project Wingman: Frontline. The game will be released on PlayStation 5 and PSVR2. For this preview we played on PSVR2.
Although in principle it is not compatible, you can test Microsoft Project xCloud games on your Android TV: You only need an invitation to the streaming platform, a Bluetooth wireless controller (preferably Xbox One) and the steps that we explain in this article.
Not long ago, Microsoft Project xCloud extended its borders to reach territories such as Spain; and we have already been able to thoroughly test the game streaming platform. We not only tested it on several Android phones, also on a device with Android TV. Microsoft is not saying that this system is compatible, but the truth is that it works really well. Do you want to try it on your TV or player with Android TV? We teach you all the steps.

xCloud is suitable for Android TV
According to Microsoft specifications, Project xCloud is only suitable for mobile devices with a minimum of Android 6.0 Marshmallow and Bluetooth 4.0. The requirement is clear: mobile. In fact, if you try to install the app that opens the door to game streaming, Xbox Game Streaming, you will see that your Android TV does not appear in the list of compatible devices. But that doesn’t mean these devices are disabled for Project xCloud, on the contrary.

We tested the streaming service on a 2017 Nvdia Shield TV with Android TV 9 Pie and the official Nvidia controller itself. After our testing, there is no limitation on using Bluetooth controllers that are compatible with Project xCloud: despite Microsoft claiming that an Xbox One controller is required, the truth is that Other wireless controls work, like the PS4, the Switch Pro controller or from the Nvidia Shield TV. And the experience is excellent.
Let’s go with what we were looking for: How to install Microsoft Project xCloud on an Android TV? The Xbox Game Streaming app is not available for the system, but there aren’t many complications when starting the streaming platform: it’s just like that.
Go to the Google Play store on your Android TV and find a file manager. TV File Commander is a very good recommendation.
Download the latest version of Xbox Game Streaming for Android from Apk Mirror and upload the file to your Drive account.
Open TV File Commander on your TV, sign in to your Google Drive account, and install the Xbox Game Streaming Apk.
As the Microsoft application is a file which is not distributed on Android TV access will not appear on the TV interface. To use it, you need a launcher, like Sideload Launcher. Install it on your Android TV.
Side-loading launcher
Open Sideload Launcher and run Xbox Game Streaming.
Sign in with your Xbox account (remember you need a Project xCloud invite): the connection will open in a web browser, you need to have it installed (you can use Puffin TV).

With the above, you will have quick access to Microsoft Project xCloud, but another essential element is missing: the command. You need to connect a Bluetooth wireless controller to your Android TV, always keeping in mind that it should at least be Bluetooth 4.0. The Xbox One controller has the best performance, but you can also play with other controls, such as the PS4 or Nintendo Switch.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider on Android TV with Project xCloud
The xCloud experience on the TV screen is excellent: Microsoft has adapted the interface so that it can be used without complications on televisions. You can browse the game catalog horizontally, menus are easily accessible, and the game runs while taking up all available space, just like starting an Xbox connected to the TV. Of course, right now at 720p.
Chinese developers have been making more and more noise lately. The most prominent representative is probably Genshin Impact. The Chinese development studio Digital Sky is working on a new game: ProjectDT. This is supposed to be a very fast action game with science fiction elements, which will also include fights with mechas.
No further information is known yet, but the first trailer already provides a lot of information about the gameplay and atmosphere. The project is still in the starting blocks, which is why the studio is currently looking for employees for it. They need support in various areas, from 3D animation to concept design.
In the past, Digital Sky was responsible for the development of various mobile games. For example, Bandai Namco worked on mobile games for Dragon Ball Z and Tokyo Ghoul. They were also responsible for some otome visual novels.
