The top spot went to a story about the open-world RPG Kenshi, which was on a 72 percent discount on Steam, bringing its price to 980 yen. The article also noted that Kenshi has surpassed 3 million total sales and announced a Japan-exclusive collaboration sake with KURAND. Second place covered Nintendo re-uploading the original 2017 Switch introduction video to YouTube, a move tied to a hardware price revision that raised the original Switch from 32,978 yen to 43,980 yen and the Switch 2 from 49,980 yen to 59,980 yen. Third place featured an opinion column arguing that Gundam Extreme Versus Maxi Boost ON should be released on Switch 2 and Steam. Fourth place reported the discovery of Korean ratings board listings for Persona 4 Revival, Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve, and Splatoon Raiders. Fifth place covered the full release of the cooperative resort management sim Tropical Resort Simulator.","whyItMatters":"The Korean ratings listings for Persona 4 Revival, Ace Combat 8, and Splatoon Raiders suggest formal announcements or release dates may be imminent, possibly at June's State of Play or Summer Game Fest.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGame Spark's weekly ranking aggregates the site's most-read articles from the previous seven days. The May 22-28 period saw Kenshi dominate, with its 72 percent discount and the milestone of 3 million copies sold driving interest. The Nintendo price revision story, which also affected the Switch 2, drew attention as a rare mid-generation hardware price increase. The Gundam Extreme Versus Maxi Boost ON column argued that the 2020 PlayStation 4 title, which already has English text and Japanese voice acting, could reach a wider audience on PC and Nintendo's new hardware. The Korean ratings board listings for three unannounced titles were notable for their publishers: Sega Publishing Korea for Persona 4 Revival, Bandai Namco Entertainment for Ace Combat 8, and Nintendo Korea for Splatoon Raiders. The Tropical Resort Simulator article covered the game's full release from early access, including a redesigned customer system and continued update plans.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKenshi\u003c/strong\u003e: 72% off sale to 980 yen; 3 million copies sold; Japan-exclusive KURAND collaboration sake announced\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNintendo Switch original introduction video re-upload\u003c/strong\u003e: Re-uploaded to YouTube due to hardware price revision; original Switch now 43,980 yen, Switch 2 now 59,980 yen\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGundam Extreme Versus Maxi Boost ON on Switch 2 and Steam\u003c/strong\u003e: Opinion column argues for multi-platform release to expand the series overseas\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKorean ratings board listings\u003c/strong\u003e: Persona 4 Revival (15+), Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve (15+), Splatoon Raiders (all ages) registered\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTropical Resort Simulator\u003c/strong\u003e: Full release of 4-player co-op resort management sim; customer system redesign and new features added\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Korean ratings listings for Persona 4 Revival and Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve suggest localizations are further along than public development timelines indicate.","twitterPost":"Korean ratings for Persona 4 Revival and Ace Combat 8 suggest localizations are further along than public timelines show.","threadsPost":"Korean ratings board listings for Persona 4 Revival, Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve, and Splatoon Raiders surfaced in the same batch.
