Adam Vitale
Adam Vitale is Editor-in-Chief at RPG Site and covers role-playing games across the full release pipeline, from early announcement trailers through launch details and post-release updates. His reporting centres on concrete information for players, with headlines that track demos, platform releases, sales milestones, and downloadable content for a wide range of RPGs. He combines this day-to-day news coverage with features and interviews that give additional context to the games he follows.
Release calendars and structured RPG coverage
Vitale’s author page at RPG Site shows a sustained focus on cataloguing upcoming role-playing games, including articles that list every RPG set to release in a given year such as 2026.
These pieces organise forthcoming titles into clear schedules, giving readers a straightforward way to see what is coming to market and when. That structured approach extends into his regular news posts on release dates, where he reports when specific RPGs are dated for new platforms, as with PC releases for titles like Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. His work on release timing, formats, and platforms gives a precise picture of how and where RPGs are rolling out.
Trailers, demos, and platform updates
Vitale consistently covers announcement trailers and gameplay videos that introduce or update role-playing games.
His archive includes coverage of major showcase events, such as Summer Game Fest and Future Games Show trailers for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, where he highlights new footage and information revealed for the game. He reports on gameplay trailers coming out of industry events like Gamescom, including pieces on games such as 8-Bit Adventures 2 that focus on new gameplay sequences and mechanical details shown in those videos.
Alongside trailer coverage, he writes news on demo launches, for example free demos for titles like Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, signalling when players can try an RPG ahead of release. Platform and storefront updates also feature in his work, with articles noting when Steam and Epic Games Store pages go live for upcoming releases. The Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World screenshots article fits the same pattern, breaking down new images to explain characters, story elements, monsters, and downloadable content for an upcoming RPG.
Japanese and indie RPG focus
Vitale’s headlines reflect a strong emphasis on Japanese role-playing games and adjacent genres, covering series such as Danganronpa, Dragon Quest, and The Seven Deadly Sins.
At the same time, he gives regular attention to smaller and indie RPGs, as seen in coverage of games like Moonlighter, where he reports both on sales milestones - such as reaching 500,000 copies sold - and the announcement of expansions like the Between Dimensions DLC. His archive also includes articles on titles such as 8-Bit Adventures 2 and RPG Time!, showing an interest in retro-inspired and niche projects alongside better-known franchises.
Across these stories, he focuses on tangible updates: sales figures, DLC announcements, new content drops, and practical details that matter to players following specific series.
Editorial leadership, features, and interviews
Vitale holds the role of Editor-in-Chief at RPG Site and is identified that way on the masthead and his professional profile. Alongside daily news, he writes longer-form features that sit in a dedicated section of the site, adding deeper coverage to his beat beyond short updates.
These features allow him to expand on themes, systems, or trends within the RPG space, complementing the granular reporting in his news posts. He also participates in interviews published at RPG Site, appearing as one of several interviewers on pieces that bring developers or other figures into direct conversation with the outlet.
That combination of editorial leadership, structured news coverage, features, and interviews underlines a role that is both hands-on with the site’s content and focused specifically on role-playing games.
Across his body of work, Vitale’s coverage is distinguished by its consistency and level of detail on the lifecycle of RPG releases rather than commentary or opinion. His stories track concrete developments - dates, platforms, demos, trailers, sales, and DLC - so readers can follow how individual titles move from announcement to long-term support. The breadth of his archive at RPG Site, spanning many pages of news, features, and interviews, reinforces him as a central figure in the outlet’s reporting on role-playing games.
