That triggered a major earthquake last July and may have created a combustible mixture of ground water and molten rock beneath Pinatubo. As in 1380, “a very large eruption” may bury areas within a 12-mile radius, said Raymundo Punongbayan, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology....

As another collaboration between Platinum Games and Square Enix, it’s no surprise that the title looks like a progression of the action gameplay introduced in NieR: Automata. The gameplay showcased last year featured a male protagonist pulling off stylish combos, a mainstay for Platinum’s titles, while also wielding multiple swords at once, looking somewhat akin to Final Fantasy 15’s combat.
