Hi, PlayStation fans! We’re excited to announce that Sparklite is finally launching on PS4 today, after four difficult years. Being indie is a dream many game developers aspire to and, not taking that for granted, we want to share how our studio managed to get Sparklite over the finish line. As an indie developer, we

There’s a reason why our studio is named “Highwire Games” and not “Beaten Path Interactive,” or “Incremental Entertainment.” We founded the studio in order to take the kind of risks that are not possible for huge teams with gigantic budgets. We are pleased to announce that Golem is finally out on PlayStation VR tomorrow. Here

Last week, Target unveiled its Black Friday ad for this year, replete with good video game deals. Now it’s Walmart’s turn to shine, and the Supercenter has quite a few noteworthy game-related deals of its own. For Black Friday 2019, Walmart is marking down prices on system bundles, accessories, and a wide variety of games.

Blasting off into The Outer Worlds truly feels like visiting a new, quirky universe. The developers at Obsidian tapped into deep narrative roots to actualize a future where corporations rule the stars with cheesy slogans and shoddy products. Lead game directors, Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, offer insights about bringing this immersive, humorous experience to

In Trials of Mana, releasing on PS4 April 24, 2020, players will be able to strengthen their characters, not just by leveling up, but also by switching classes. New classes allow characters to learn new class strikes and magic spells. Each of our six protagonists can become proficient in a variety of attacks, depending on

It’s Tuesday, which means the PS Store has a new slew of games on sale at a discounted rate in the weekly PlayStation Store Sale. This week is a bit lighter (most likely the calm before the Black Friday storm), but not to worry: There are still plenty of deals for you to take advantage

While Overwatch 2 is on its way, the original game will still be getting more content and events while we wait, even if it’s at a bit of a slower pace. In this case, it’s a new small event called Mercy’s Recall, putting a spotlight on the healer Mercy by giving her a new legendary outfit, icons,

Control is delightfully weird, y’all. The mid-century modern office hallways filled with floating bodies. The Lynchian janitor appearing at random moments to reveal secrets of the universe (or just let me borrow his Walkman). The dangerous items teeming with power sheltered behind glass — including and not limited to a stoplight, a refrigerator, and a

Yaga came out of our love for oral storytelling and old eastern European traditions, so we thought we’d let you in on our sources of inspiration and how each of them shaped the game. Fairy Tales The backbone of the game are old Russian fairy tales we used to read when we were kids. “The

“Whether we wanted it or not” is perhaps one of the most well-known phrases to longtime Destiny fans. It’s become something of a meme and a Rick-roll as fans trick each other into reading or hearing the Zavala voice line, expertly read by actor Lance Reddick. The full text, “Whether we wanted it or not,

All eyes and controllers may be focused on Death Stranding right now, but it won’t be long before we can play another whimsical game about connection. Keita Takahashi’s Wattam is releasing on December 17th. The bizarre and creative journey from loneliness to connection comes from the creator of Katamari Damacy, another strange yet endearing title

Wattam, the new game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, finally has a release date! You can now pre-order this joyful new experience at PlayStation Store ahead of its December 17 launch on PS4. Not content to simply count the days until then, we reached out to Takahashi san to see if he’d be interested

For many JRPG fans, the 90s was truly a golden age. Countless classic titles were released during this decade and have since entered a ‘hall of fame’ of sorts amongst fans and critics. For western and Japanese fans, there’s likely a lot of overlap between the titles they’d raise as all-time favorites, including titles like

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has said that he expected a mixed response to the game and that this feeling is nothing new for him. During an interview with PlayStation Access, Kojima was asked how he felt now that people are playing Death Stranding, to which he said that a mixed reception isn’t unusual “when you try

Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed yet another patent for a cartridge, but this one looks different than the design that surfaced in 2018. LetsGoDigital, the folks who first discovered the PlayStation 5 dev kit, found the patent on Brazilian Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial’s (INPI) website. The application was filed in June 2019 and was published

The Outer Worlds has a patch in the works that should be available sometime during the week of November 10, 2019. Patch 1.1.1.0 is planned to address a few glaring issues that stick out in this otherwise favorably received game.

Gaming is full of incredible charity efforts like the Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit organization that helps veterans return to civilian life by placing them in high-quality careers when they return from deployment. Formed 10 years ago by Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick and Former National Security Advisor General James Jones, the Call of Duty

In 2018, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier divulged he’d learned of a 2K team in Novato, California; 2K Novato, secretly producing a BioShock game. Such news came on the heels of job listing-related speculation out of the same studio. Since then, not even a peep has been heard about the project. This isn’t too surprising, given that 2K

The Jedi Order has fallen, and it’s up to surviving Padawan Cal Kestis to complete his training and stay one step ahead of the Empire. Respawn Entertainment created a galaxy-spanning adventure in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which drops one week from today on November 15. Who’s ready to topple an AT-ST all by themselves?

Just because Halloween is over doesn’t mean things won’t get a bit spooky. Last week we asked you to share spine-tingling moments from your favorite games.

Not only did The Outer Worlds receive rave reviews from critics across various outlets, but it sold remarkably well, too. Today, on November 7, 2019 publisher Take-Two Interactive held an earnings call, in which the company discussed the financial results of the past quarter. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said The Outer Worlds is “outperforming our expectations

We recently reported that the PlayStation 4 became the second best-selling console on the market, selling more than 102 million units worldwide since its launch back in November of 2013, but Take-Two has a number to beat that. Grand Theft Auto V sales have reached more than 115 million units worldwide across all platforms since

In Death Stranding, the herculean task of reconnecting humanity is far from the only burden placed upon your shoulders. Piled on top of this metaphorical weight is the real-world heft of countless packages that must reach their destination. Tucked inside these parcels are food, games, supplies, medicine, data — anything that splintered citizens might need

Don’t pause! Press play! Bringing new music and new collaborations to Beat Saber is always so much fun and we are proud to welcome another popular video game title on board.

Once touted as the Destiny killer, billed as the next great live-service game, and hyped beyond all recognition ahead of launch, Anthem’s fall from grace has been nothing short of astounding to watch. Still, even as BioWare hemorrhages top-tier talent, Anthem clings to life. There have been promises of ongoing support and improvement, though the

The PlayStation 4 is a powerhouse console that’s offered players the likes of fresh new experiences like Death Stranding, rebooted sequels of old favorites like God of War, and high-quality remakes of classic games like MediEvil. Other Ocean did a fantastic job recreating the 20-year old game from the ground up, dusting off the old

In the scattered world of Death Stranding, it stands to reason there aren’t many occasions to meet up and discuss art, games, and shared experiences. Thankfully, for us in the real world, the apocalyptic imagery that fuels the game is used to pull us together rather than push us apart. Fans are encouraged to visit

Last Labyrinth is an escape-adventure title releasing worldwide on PlayStation VR next Wednesday, November 13.
