Aiobahn+81 composed the game’s soundtrack, including the theme song sung by DEMONDICE. 

Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

Break the rules as you drink in this twisted game of Russian roulette, and push the demon till she spills it all!

“No one’s ever done this to me before…

Ahh, you’re incredible, darling.”

A shot glass Russian roulette with a demon who loves you enough to kill you.

Survive the night, and savor seven flavors of ruin.

The drunker you get, the wilder the game!

Drink until the rules stop mattering, and unleash drunken tricks only a true barfly could master to make it out alive!

A soul-on-the-line drinking survival game where you spill your soul or make her spill!

A high-stakes roulette where every shot hits a little different!

Only one rule: get the demon wasted and make her spill her soul to win!

Femme Soule

“Surrender your life to me, darling. Let’s spend eternity together.”

In Hell’s bar, Pandemonium, a liquor-soaked demon awaits—one who loves you enough to kill you.

Let’s sink into Hell side by side!

Longing for a sip of madness and bliss? Down for a one-night stand with a demon? Hallelujah! Add Drunken Goddess Reflux to your wishlist and wait for the release half-drunk and smiling!

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin

Netmarble has released a new update for open-world action RPG The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin with new accessibility improvements, which were inspired by feedback from a passionate player from Japan written in braille and text. New content was also introduced in the latest update, in addition to previously released character [Enigmatic Helper] Clotho.

The developers of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin introduced a dedicated sound accessibility option, allowing for enhanced audio cues for low HP status, treasure chest discovery, and more when enabled. There will also be more accessibility features added over time with directional guidance for main quests, sub quests, gathering points, and treasure chests.

From May 21 to June 4, The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin will run the new event dungeon “Temple of Love.” This story-based event begins through NPC Turan and features sequential quests over the course of seven days. Players can earn limited-time titles, accessories, Regular Hero Draw Tickets, and other rewards through the event.

There are plenty of more events, including a solo record-based challenge for dungeons, field bosses, and Timespace Junction. Earn event currency and exchange it for rewards like Brilliant Engraving Seal and SSR Magic Crystal Shard. There’s also a cumulative mission event based on Cube Key usage, which offer various rewards based on the number of Cube Keys used.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is available now for Android, iOS, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Google Play Games. Final Weapon had the opportunity to interview The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin executive producer Do-Hyung Koo to discuss the game’s development, the team’s initial goals, consultation with manga creator Nakaba Suzuki and more. We also had the chance to play an early build of The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin to see what the original story and combat system offered.

Grand Theft Auto VI

Take-Two Interactive Software CEO Strauss Zelnick reconfirmed that the release date for Grand Theft Auto VI is still set for November 19, and the game’s marketing rollout is still on track to begin this summer, according to a new interview with Variety. Considering that summer starts on June 21, fans could see a new trailer next month or as late as August, unless plans change.

“We never make marketing announcements in our analyst calls,” Zelnick said. “Never ever ever.”

“I think reiterating November 19 as a launch day today is probably a positive. I think we’ve been really clear that we’re releasing the title on November 19.”

“So the next few weeks I don’t think it’ll be summertime yet, but when it’s summertime, Rockstar expects to start marketing.”

Zelnick did not reveal a price for Grand Theft Auto VI, however. Grand Theft Auto VI will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S when it launches.

Previously, Rockstar Games released the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, which features footage captured on PlayStation 5 with “equal parts gameplay and cutscenes.” The trailer previews the main story of Grand Theft Auto VI and teases many activities in Leonida, the game’s setting.

Grand Theft Auto VI was originally planned to release in fall 2025 before being delayed to the aforementioned May 26 and subsequent November 19 dates. In the meantime, check out the easter eggs you might have missed in the first trailer.

The Grand Theft Auto VI official website is also live with new screenshots and overviews for in-game locations, including Vice City, and several characters.

Like, if I was dropped into a Resident Evil game, I’m terrible with guns, I wouldn’t know how any of them work, I would miss 99% of my shots…This is an opportunity to be loyal to the games in spirit and in tone and build a story that just puts you in that scenario again and again and again with increasing stakes.”

As previously announced, the movie will pull elements that pay homage to the gameplay of Resident Evil, such as a first-person perspective, fixed camera angles, green herbs, and characters that miss their shots. However, it will not feature any previously established characters from the franchise like Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield. . Austin Abrams (Weapons) will play the protagonist, named Bryan. The film will also star Zach Cherry, Paul Walter Hauser, and Kali Reis. Check out the full featurette that teases some of these elements for the Resident Evil film below:

Etheria: Restart Releases New Sharon Animus

XD Games has released a new animus for Etheria: Restart, named Sharon. It marks the last phase of Season SS4 Loong’s Thunder: Shattered Dawn.

A press release describes Sharon as follows:

Sharon was once an extremely talented musician, bringing joy to audiences through the sound of her strings. However, during one of her performances, she was a victim of a brutal attack that ended her career. Thanks to the Leiboz Life Workshop Project, Sharon was given a second chance at life on the battlefield. Using her harp to deal damage, Sharon has found new purpose as an Animus with poison-based attacks that gradually drain enemy HP.

Check out the character trailer for Sharon in Etheria: Restart below:

Etheria: Restart is available now for Android, iOS, and PC via Steam. Season SS4 started on April 9 and added several new gameplay mechanics. The main new addition in SS4 is the Tactical Imprint progression system. Here, players can boost their combat stats by equipping a Tactical Imprint, which is shareable across all different Animus. Imprints have both passive traits and four fixed sockets that can enhance an Animus’ stats even further.

Players can upgrade their Animus’ offensive, defensive, and vitality stats by inserting the brand new Components into the sockets.  To unlock these, players must use the new Hyper Kernel system. The system provides resources, power buffs, and the aforementioned Tactical Imprints and Components to players.  The new season also adds a Sprint Server, designed to accelerate growth via a 14-day Double Drop limited-time event, Hyper Camp assessment missions that offer Training Points to unlock various rewards, and the Summit Arena Beginner Protection Mechanism.

SAROS Soundtrack Available Now on Streaming Services

Milan Records has released the SAROS soundtrack on all music streaming services, including Apple Music and Spotify. Sam Slater composed the OST. 

A press release provides an overview of the soundtrack:

Anchored by a bold sonic identity of drone metal and dark power electronics, Slater’s work is effortlessly enmeshed into the fabric of the game, with each level developing its own unique soundscape shaped directly by the shifting environments of the planet Carcosa. The music swells into a maelstrom of drums, corrupted human voices and thunderous guitars as the game’s protagonist Arjun Devraj faces the Overlords, yet it never loses its thread of emotionality at the heart of Arjun’s journey. Also included on the 15-track collection is “Reputations” by acclaimed producer and DJ Daniel Avery, who provides an intensely pulsating, techno-tinged endcap to the album.  

SAROS is available now on PlayStation 5. The game features the likes of Rahul Kohli as the protagonist in a mix of fast-paced roguelike action and cosmic horror. Final Weapon reviewed SAROS and gave it a 4.5/5. We described it as a “fantastic experience from beginning to end. The narrative delivers a brilliant cosmic horror narrative with a great cast of characters, brilliant performances, a rich and intriguing world, and incredible representation thanks to a great South Asian protagonist. Further, the gameplay is a non-stop thrill ride throughout, that never feels too difficult despite the occasional spike in challenge. While there are some issues with the post-game and build options, this is a must-play for any PlayStation 5 owners and an early game of the year contender.”
