The team behind Velocity 2X, Futurlab, will be announcing another project today. The announcement will happen at the PlayStation Blog at 4pm BST and will no doubt continue their tradition of creating addictive, modern takes on classic genres. Aside from the fact that the announcement is happening - shared by James Marsden on Twitter - no other information about the new project has been announced.

The criminally underrated Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will be getting a re-release on PlayStation 3, and will be available to purchase for the first time on PC, Namco Bandai have today confirmed. There were rumours before - it showed up on the Australian classification board - but it's now official.

Kingdom Hearts 3 had a brief showing earlier this year, but it was hardly enough to make up for the long wait since Kingdom Hearts 2's release in 2004. Don't worry though, we'll have another short glimpse of the game next week, Tetsuya Nomura has revealed.

A Final Fantasy VII remake is something fans have wanted since at least the beginning of last generation, when Square Enix showed off a tech demo in which they recreated the opening movie from VII in PS3-quality graphics. It turned out to be nothing but a tease. That doesn't mean that a remake won't ever happen though, although it may not be quite what fans had expected.

Square Enix have today announced a remake of Final Fantasy VI - originally released as Final Fantasy III in the US - for mobile devices, due for release in Winter. It won't be a straight up port. The game will receive both visual changes and gameplay updates to fit with on-the-go gaming.

This was made clear in the FAQ on the bundle ...

Square Enix have today released a new trailer for Thief, noteworthy as the first proper gameplay video for the game. See how your adventure will play when Thief is released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4 early next year.

Konami have this morning announced the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Collection, which contains Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Mirror of Fate HD. It also contains an exclusive demo for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, which comes out next February.

Although Bioshock Infinite will be built upon with DLC, the longterm future of the franchise is a little less certain Ken Levine has revealed. While Infinite received incredibly positive reviews, it took a long time to make and cost an awful lot of money and it may not have been enough to definitely secure new games, and almost certainly not in the foreseeable future.

If you have any interest in Bioshock Infinite and its place in the Bioshock canon, you've probably heard about the Songbird sound effect. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the Songbird's scream in the original Bioshock. Today Ken Levine commented on the theory, but, of course, you'd be silly for expecting a simple yes or no.
