Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered edition on August 27

Final Fantasy fans who were waiting for the remastered edition since last year can finally sit back and relax. Square Enix, the brand behind the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles have confirmed the release of the Remastered Edition on August 27. 

The Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition, which is an updated version of the original Crystal Chronicles action RPG, would be made available on Android, iOS, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch simultaneously upon release. The game was originally meant to launch in January 2020. 

In a post on the Square Enix website, it says "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition" follows a young group, known as the Crystal Caravans, as they embark on an epic journey to search for myrrh, a precious and rare liquid needed to cleanse and maintain a crystal protecting their world from the deadly gas, miasma.

The latest edition of this popular series, which first got released in 2003 on Nintendo's GameCube, comes with newly added content like dungeons and bosses and boasts of HD graphics and fresh voiceovers. There is also a new "mimic" feature that would allow players to morph into other characters. 

There is also another first to the Remastered Edition. This time round the multiplayer function would be available online as well as for cross-play across all platforms. In fact, the upcoming edition was first announced in 2018 for release in late 2019. However, the company delayed it to January 2020 and later to August 2020.

Of course, fans of the Final Fantasy franchise would be aware that this isn't the first time that editions have been delayed. Final Fantasy XV was first announced in 2006 but hit the stands in 2016 while the Final Fantasy VII was also delayed by close to five years, eventually getting launched in March this year. 

There is no update on what the game would cost, though it is unlikely to be in the premium category. As of now, there is also no mention of whether the remaster would be launching on Xbox or the PC.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...
