Gamers are used to being slapped with the all-too-common upcharge for being an early adopter. Or, lately, buying into a fad based around the mythic consumer known as “gamer.” We’ve all fallen prey to the siren song of buying merchandise that is seemingly meant exclsuively for us, “The Gamers.” After all, it was only about
PS4
We are well into the summer of 2020, during a time of global pandemic where many of us are stuck inside for most of the day. If you’re a fan of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc., then you may be anxiously awaiting Elden Ring’s release. Developer Cradle Games is hoping to quench your Souls-like thirst with
This isn’t Call of Duty. It isn’t Battlefield or any of the other war games centered on spectacle and bombastic action. It’s a rough-around-the-edges adherence to historical accuracy, rigid to a fault, and full of its own unique charm and allure because of it. In Tannenberg you aren’t some hero or super soldier. You’re just
Greetings, PlayStation Slayers! For the uninitiated, Dauntless is a free-to-play co-op action RPG that’s all about feeling like a badass while taking down boss-sized Behemoths with your friends in the world of the Shattered Isles. We’ve released over a dozen content updates since we launched on PlayStation 4 last May, and with our latest, we’re
Imagine the most badass pistol-wielding action hero ever. Now, become them. That’s it. That’s the game. At least, that’s the aim when developing Pistol Whip: for you to experience each level, or “scene,” as cinematically as possible, as though you’re the action hero yourself. Most design decisions — from game modifiers to art direction to
Fans of Super Heroes, Wonder Woman, Old Gods, New Gods, and collapsing multiverses have a lot to look forward to in Wonderverse, our next episode launching today! Whether you are looking for an end-game challenge or just starting your journey, Wonderverse delivers. Remember, anyone level 15+ can play the more accessible event versions of our newest
When it came time for a blog post about Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, I knew exactly who I was going to ask to help out. Mr. Hiroki Miyazawa, the director of this game and the first Curse of the Moon, knows the ins and outs of this series better than anyone. If you
It was 2014 when I decided to take things more seriously. I’d just made my debut in the mobile gaming arena. Yet while my title had been financially successful, I didn’t feel any creative satisfaction. I decided that had to be the driving force of my next project. I looked to my childhood for inspiration.
As previously promised, July’s War Table for Marvel’s Avengers provided a deep dive on beta-related content. And, apparently, there will be plenty of it. During the beta sessions that go live next month, players will have access to the prologue Golden Gate Bridge sequence, some single-player story content, and several co-op missions. The Golden
While we should be getting some more solid information on the upcoming Resident Evil Village soon enough, there’s still much conjecture and rumor floating around the internet. As always, our goal is to report the things that seem most plausible, but always with the disclaimer that these are nothing more than rumors until something official
Hello PlayStation Nation! Our second Marvel’s Avengers War Table dropped today, loaded with Beta goodness and a tease of one of our first post-launch heroes. Read on for all the key info! But first, we want to say a massive thank-you to fans around the world that tuned into our first two Marvel’s Avengers War
We are Cradle Games, a Quebec-based studio founded by veterans of the industry in 2015. After five years of hard work, we are excited to finally release Hellpoint, an atmospheric dark sci-fi action-RPG, an unholy child of Demon’s Souls and Dead Space, blurring the line between science and occult. The World of Hellpoint In Hellpoint,
Hi! This is Irene, and along with everybody in the team of WildSphere I’m thrilled Naught is coming to PS4 this Friday. We’ve always wished to see Naught on consoles. And finally here it is! We can’t be more excited, and actually we’ve really enjoyed playing it as we advanced in the development. Naught is
While we received news that the original soundtracks from the classic games would return mostly intact, Vicarious Visions had another secret up its sleeve for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2. 37 new songs will be rounding out the soundtrack, adding to the 21 returning songs for a staggering 58-song soundtrack full of classic
Publisher Ubisoft made news in 2018 with the announcement that it had signed on Mike Laidlaw, the creative director of the Dragon Age franchise for Bioware, as well as having credits in Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and more. And just as quickly as Laidlaw had been hired, he was gone one year later. The reason,
Hi everyone, after months of intense testing and development, I’m excited to announce that Escalation – the biggest PlanetSide 2 game update ever – launches on PlayStation 4 tomorrow (Friday, July 31, in EU). For the uninitiated, PlanetSide 2 is a revolutionary, massive scale, first-person shooter that challenges the grit and skill of every soldier
Hey everyone! Skater XL launch day is upon us and we honestly could not be more excited to bring the evolution of skateboarding games to the PlayStation platform! Without a proper entry into the skate genre in over a decade, and fans clamoring for a new title, the question that we had to ask ourselves
There seems to be a possibility that Cuphead, the 1930s cartoon-inspired platformer from StudioMDHR, may soon make its way to the PlayStation 4. The game’s been spotted on the PlayStation Store via international listings. While the listing itself apparently won’t load, there is no mistaking Cuphead’s key art icon under a “New Games” tag. Twitter user
One of the biggest things a remake can hope to do is enhance enough to make the original release redundant by comparison. Destroy All Humans is neither a perfect game nor a perfect remake, but it improves so much from when it released in 2005 that I can’t imagine ever needing to go back to
An all-new multiplayer party battler and a remastered blockbuster headline PS Plus for August! Hilarious multiplayer party title Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout makes its PS4 debut on August 4, giving PS Plus members launch day access to its online competitive free-for-alls and co-op challenges*.

Ubisoft Quebec managing director, Andrée Cossette, has announced her departure after 22 years at the company, and has claimed that her resignation isn’t related to ongoing allegations that have rocked Ubisoft. In a note on LinkedIn penned in French (translation via Games Industry), Cossette said that her decision “is the result of a long reflection and
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales actor Nadji Jeter took to Twitter over the weekend to share some behind-the-scenes performance capture photos for the upcoming title. “To become a character so impactful means the world to me,” wrote Jeter. “The story of Miles is what this generation and the next need! I just thank the heavens above
A sequel to 2016’s Earthlock: Festival of Magic is in development, Snowcastle Games has announced. Aptly titled Earthlock 2, the game will offer a “completely different” experience than its turn-based predecessor and will feature real-time combat. However, the sequel will be set in the same world. “Without revealing too much, fans and newcomers alike can
Check your PSN notifications, you might have $10 of free PSN credit from Sony to celebrate 10 years of its PlayStation Plus service, which launched back in 2010. Right now it’s unclear exactly who is receiving these credits, whether its random or if it will eventually be rolled out all users. If you got the
If it wasn’t obvious from this week’s Xbox live stream event, not to mention Microsoft’s positioning over the last half a year, the Xbox Game Pass service is to be a crucial component of the Microsoft next-gen strategy. But even before we get to the future, the present tells us now that the PC and
Last week, we asked you to reflect through your journey as the Ghost of Tsushima, and share moments using the game’s stunning Photo mode. From sun-warmed vistas to detailed armor, dangerous duels and serene moments of contemplation, you shared your best shots using #PS4share and #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights: Jin sheathes his katana
When Adam Ferrando, the artist and creative genius behind Demon’s Tilt, showed me the first prototype of this game I knew exactly what it was. As a youth, pinball seemed old-fashioned compared to arcade video games of the early 1980s. It was my uncle’s game — it was for old people. That is, until I
Today we release our WW1 FPS Tannenberg on PlayStation 4! Veterans who have played our previous title Verdun will recognize the devastating gas and artillery barrages, the ferocious melee combat, and the variety of authentic weapons, uniforms and maps.
