Hi everyone, Im Julius Fondem, Community Manager here at Remedy Entertainment. Today Im very excited, jazzed even, to talk to you about a brand-new feature in our upcoming game FBC: Firebreak Altered Augments.If youre not familiar with FBC: Firebreak, its a cooperative first-person shooter for three players set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by extradimensional forces, in the iconic Control universe. Battle through hordes of otherworldly monsters with up to two friends, customize your gear and level up as you fight back against this ever-growing threat.This being our first multiplayer, were very excited to bring it to you, the community, and to that end, weve designed FBC: Firebreak to be as easy as possible to get into. This is a game best played together with your friends, having a great time laughing while chaotic and wacky things happen! This isnt a new hobby that you need to log onto every day for rewards. None of that FOMO stuff here. Just get together with your friends over the weekend for a good time.Play VideoAs a Firebreaker, you are a badass combat engineer who descends deep into The Oldest House to solve paranatural crises, and to achieve this, you are given an assortment of normal and, well, not so normal tools by The Federal Bureau of Control. These come in the form of three bespoke Crisis Kits, each containing a unique Tool like the Crank-Operated Fluidic Ejector, an improvised device like the BOOMbox, and an Altered Augment.Altered Augments are Altered Items that the Federal Bureau of Control has contained and harnessed for approved use by the Firebreak Initiative. So basically, the Federal Bureau of Control is in deep trouble and decided to make weapons out of paranatural objects they barely understand and gave them to their brave first responders. Surely, nothing can go wrong.Each Altered Augment possesses unique abilities and is the pinnacle of each Crisis Kits repertoire. Let me introduce you to our Altered Augments!The Garden Gnome (AI9) is a regular looking garden gnome that is all but normal. You can attach the Garden Gnome to the Electro-Kinetic Charge Impactor which allows you to fire it towards your enemies. Once it lands, it will summon a lightning storm around it, damaging and stunning all creatures in its area and draining all energy from surrounding batteries. However, be careful! The Garden Gnome walks around and doesnt discern friend from foe. Unless you want to play a teeny tiny prank on your crewmates. In that case, no need to be careful.The Piggy Bank (AI16) attaches to the end of the Wrench, and when you swing your Wrench around, it deals massive damage in a large arc in front of you and shatters, releasing a paranatural coin tornado that damages all creatures in it, but dont worry, the Piggy Bank reassembles itself back together after the tornado makes its way back to you! Just be sure to not hit your friends with the tornado as getting hit by a multitude of coins in the face is considered rude in some cultures.The Teapot (AI44) attaches to the top of the Crank-Operated Fluidic Ejector (COFE) giving it the ability to shoot boiling water at enemies. When the Teapot is attached to the COFE, the tool deals the burning condition and cannot overheat. Do note that this also means that the COFE now damages teammates and cannot clear any other conditions from them except the cold condition. Lastly, the Teapot does not actually come with any real tea. Sorry, tea lovers.Weve been hard at work on FBC: Firebreak with our 50-person strong development team and cant wait to show you more of the game and get it in your hands! FBC: Firebreak is slated for release in Summer 2025 for PlayStation 5, with day one availability for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members, and weve got plenty more to share with you before then.

Slender: The Arrival VR by developer Blue Isle Studios is the unholy union of a horror phenomenon and an innovative gaming peripheral. Together, they deliver a holistic horror experience to players looking for a game that can shake them to their core.On May 13, Slender: The Arrival VR will utilize the platform-defining features and capabilities of PS VR2 to summon the horror icon in its most terrifying incarnation yet and Im excited to share what makes this upcoming release the best way to experience our title!Play VideoImmersed in virtual terrorIts been over a decade since the release of the original Slender: The Arrival, and the 10th Anniversary Update significantly enhanced the graphics and elevated the overall gameplay experience. Every shadow, every model, and every hair-raising encounter with the mysterious Slender Man was rendered in stunning detail using the latest Unreal Engine 5 technologies. Slender: The Arrival VR remains true to the original game while adapting elements to the full-scale immersion VR.The PS VR2 is a groundbreaking peripheral, and it allowed us to enhance the strengths of Slender: The Arrival further. Atmospheric, gameplay, and audiovisual stimulation combine to transport the player to another dimension.A key part of the Slender: The Arrival VR experience is the feedback received when The Slender Man is in your area. The detailed haptic feedback in the PSVR2 Sense controllers wont be the only way you feel Slender Mans presence, as the PS VR2 headset vibration feedback makes it seem like he dwells within the players own mind.Oh, and the vibration function isnt reserved for Slenderman. There are other enemies to fear in Slender: The Arrival VR.With all these new additions and more, The Slender Mans presence is more eerie and intimidating than ever before. Knowing that he is nearby is scary enough in flatscreen, but in VR, he can appear anywhere in your field of vision. Sound queues are also more realistic and immediate, adding to the immersion and tangible sense of gnawing dread.A Slender reimaginingSlender: The Arrival VR features all of the new additions included in the 10th Anniversary update, from the enhanced visuals to the brand-new storyline and characters.The team has also implemented a range of VR accessibility options so that all players who want to step into the world of Slender: The Arrival VR can do so comfortably. Theres a bespoke interactive menu for VR and multiple comfort settings, including standing/seating modes, snap and continuous movement, and sensitivity sliders.The Slender Man is a paranormal icon that has long terrified the curious-minded worldwide. It stands tall (really tall, actually) alongside long-established horror mainstays. Similarly, the original Slender: The Arrival remains the official, proven, and definitive adaptation of The Slender Man to the gaming world.By expanding and deepening its gameplay with the PS VR2 headset, weve provided players with a unique and engaging experience that creates a more intimate connection with the world they explore something arguably most important and frightening in the survival-horror genre that they will get to experience on May 13.

Developers at Nightdive Studios will be the first to tell you no two projects are alike. Nowhere is this more true than the soon-to-be-released remaster of System Shock 2. Announced six years ago as System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, Nightdive reannounced the project under a new name System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster.Play VideoThis name change offered eagle-eyed fans a clue as to the remasters release window, which is only accurate preceding August 11 when System Shock 2 celebrates its 26th birthday. Sure enough, during todays MIX Spring Showcase, Nightdive shared the exciting news that System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will release on June 26 for PS4 and PS5.As exciting as its been for System Shock fans to hear theyll soon be able to play Nightdives long-awaited System Shock 2 remaster, one key question remains: why did it take six years?Good things take timeNightdive has been chipping away at its remaster of System Shock 2 in the years following its announcement, working on it in conjunction with other projects. While many of these harbored their fair share of challenges, System Shock 2 was unique in regards to the number and type of complexities the team encountered.One of the biggest according to Nightdive developer Alex Lima was a lack of access to the games complete source code. To piece everything together, extensive reverse engineering was required.The codebase is a complex amalgamation of various legacy libraries developed by Looking Glass, along with some more recent contributions from both Irrational Games and Looking Glass, Lima explains. Theres virtually no consistent coding standard. As a result, we had to depend extensively on debugging and breakpoints to understand its functionality.Working with System Shock 2s original engine was also tricky, especially when it came to porting the game to consoles.The game engine that System Shock 2 uses is large and complicated, notes Nightdive developer, Lexi Mayfield. It was originally designed for PCs from the late 1990s with a mouse and keyboard, and was only used for three games. As a result, porting the game to PlayStation was a long and arduous process, from both a coding and interface perspective.In general, remastering a beloved classic like System Shock 2 naturally takes time and attention to detail to get right, as highlighted by Larry Kuperman, VP of Business Development at Nightdive.While the game remains a classic, the code and graphics needed a considerable overhaul. The Dark Engine, developed by Looking Glass Studios for System Shock 2 and the Thief games, provided features way ahead of its time, which is one reason these games remain classics, but which also made the game challenging to work with. To fulfill our vision, it required meticulous re-coding in order to preserve all the aspects of the game that are important to players. Our team worked very hard over a long period of time to accomplish that goal.Old game, new tricksNot only did the rigorous six-year remastering process allow for more effective improvements, it allowed the team to better leverage modern features on consoles.The porting process allowed us to make improvements along the way and take advantage of some of the modern features PlayStation offers, allowing us to run the game with a level of fidelity and playability that was previously out of reach, says Mayfield.Fans will have no trouble spotting these improvements on PlayStation. The games graphics have received a significant boost with the addition of advanced shader support, enabling previously unavailable graphical effects and improved lip-sync animation. GPU-accelerated 3D transformations and high refresh rate support also lend to smoother performance, particularly on modern displays.System Shock 2 was originally a PC release, but dont worry, the 25th Anniversary Remaster features full controller support for DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers.If youve played FPS games with a controller, youll feel right at home playing System Shock 2, confirms Mayfield. Abilities like leaning, quick-swapping between weapons and psi powers, and toggling weapon settings were all streamlined for the DualSense. We also added a customizable quickbar, allowing players to quickly swap between individual weapons and psi powers.Inventory items now offer a context menu to allow players to quickly examine, equip, apply and split items. From there, it was a matter of going through every security computer, every replicator, every access keypad and weapon modification screen ensuring the player could interact with the world in every way they could in 1999 except now from the comfort of their DualSense.If theres still doubt over whether System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster lives up to the amount of time its taken to complete, Nightdive founder and CEO, Stephen Kick, assures:Ive been closely watching the development and have been particularly close with the art team to ensure the original art direction and designs are brought to their horrifying conclusion. I cannot wait to share what weve been working on and hope fans and newcomers enjoy their time aboard the Von Braun.Get ready, insects System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster arrives June 26 for PS4 and PS5!

Hi everyone! Im Matthijs, creative director and co-founder of Twirlbound, and we are thrilled to announce that our open-world fantasy action-adventure game, The Knightling, is coming to PlayStation 5 on August 28. We cant wait to welcome you to the wondrous world of Clesseia, where youll take on the role of knight-in-training. When the realms great protector, Sir Lionstone goes missing, you must take up his mighty magic shield and traverse the fields and forests to search for him.In our brand-new trailer, we put you in the ever-determined Knightlings small but mighty boots, sliding, gliding, dashing, and bashing across Clesseia, including a never-before-seen region of the game were revealing for the very first time the Cornered Bosk.Play VideoThe sprawling lands of Clesseia are known for many things: the bustling city center, full of activity and life; the great aqueduct, winding through the Outskirts to provide power and water to the people; the Great Barrier, which borders the Windtorn Fields, offering both protection and threat; and then there are the seldom-visited, secluded woods in the far corner of the realm known as the Cornered Bosk.Where the Outskirts and Windtorn Fields are familiar and full of helpful allies, the Cornered Bosk is a curveball, conundrum, and enigma all wrapped into one. As our bold Knightling, you must follow the rumored path of your missing mentor Sir Lionstone, through this mysterious region, and there you will quickly find that nothing is quite what it seems.Submerged in mysteryFor the design of the Cornered Bosk, we were inspired by the element of water. We looked at real-world mangroves and how forests can not only survive but often thrive in very wet conditions. The environment is designed to feel like an underwater abyss, with flora, fauna, and small, ethereal jellyfish that could belong to the deepest of oceans but is floating through the air.The regions standout landmark is a giant whirlpool, rumbling loudly at the heart of the forest and slowly swallowing everything surrounding it. Through its many mirages and the surrounding Sinking Sanctuarys angled slopes, the whirlpool lures you to its mesmerizing center. The abandoned crypt is full of formidable monsters and bandits that await you. There is only a fragment of what makes this a more treacherous region than any you have encountered before.Forging your own pathUp until this point in the game, youve rarely been far from a mentor, a friend, or even a kind local. The Cornered Bosk, however, will challenge you to learn what it means to feel alone for the first time. The people who live here are not exactly the most reliable narrators, as they have slowly gone mad from living in an area where day and night feel the same. You may find navigation confusing here, which is no small thing in a region where monsters run rampant.Due to the limited sunlight available in the forest, monsters have mutated more strongly than elsewhere in Clesseia. The good news is they are easy to spot, as their teeth and claws glow faintly. The bad news, of course, is that they have teeth and claws. And lets not even mention the daring bandits who lurk in the shadows of these surreal woods.Before tackling the Cornered Bosk, you must upgrade your legendary shield and learn new Knightling moves at the Knights Academy. Once adequately equipped and trained, you can help disoriented gardeners, sawmill operators, and farmers protect their plants, dissect mysterious shells, and retrieve their cute (but creepy) Blowbug insects. Its tough work, but remember: as a knight-in-training, you have to be able to do it all.Shield knows bestIf you havent met, let me introduce you to Sir Lionstones legendary shield Magnustego your unlikely companion on this adventure.

My name is Patrick, and I am the Art Director for Zockrates Laboratories, the indie studio currently developing Ruffy and the Riverside. Together with our publisher, Phiphen Games, we are proud to announce that Ruffy and the Riverside will be released on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025. We are happy to contribute to Playstation`s tradition of representing innovative and unique gameplay.Play VideoA platformer adventure with unique gameplayRuffy and the Riverside is a platformer adventure with truly unique gameplay. When Ruffy isnt jumping, running, skating, or gliding, he is using his unique Swap ability. With the Swap, you can copy and paste textures to change the game world, solve puzzles, beat enemies, and eventually save the world. Just grab a texture and throw it somewhere else, and the world will change!It is as easy as it sounds and has huge impacts: Transform water into ice to cross an ocean. Throw a climbing vine onto a waterfall, and you can climb up. With the Swap, you can exchange materials, symbols, the sun for the moon, and all colors. If you color birds the same color, they might end up as a couple. Apples are more yummy when they are red, and some bushes will drop coins if they have a golden look.Of course, the Swap can help in combat, too. Why not freeze an enemy or catch him in flight by turning him into stone? The elements are on your side if you swap them wisely. Use your imagination and make it happen. It really feels magic to swap things.An adventure full of quests and challengesRuffy and the Riverside is a living cartoon with many side quests, individual characters, and a ton of collectibles. So wherever you go, you can talk to townspeople and animals, pick up side quests, and look for treasures.On his quest to bring back the six golden letters, Ruffy will travel to faraway regions, each with its own challenges. Ruffy has to unravel age-old mysteries, compete in skating contests, and summon sunken islands to the seas surface. Wherever you go, you will find new grounds to explore. You can even jump into walls and solve puzzles in 2D levels. And no worries, you wont get lost, because you will never walk alone. Pip, the sassy bee, is always on your side and can carry you through the air. Sir Eddler, the adventurous mole, knows all the tricks, and Sily, the wise turtle, gives advice whenever you need it.A hand-drawn worldRuffy and the Riverside has a unique art style. In fact, everything was drawn by hand: all characters, all textures, even the UI and the map. Ruffy alone has over 600 individual drawings. Why so many? Well, he was drawn from eight sides for everything he does. No wonder it took seven years to create this world. The result is a vibrant, colorful world, and we hope you`ll have fun exploring it.How the Swap was bornSwapping textures and changing the world feels magic. We have often been asked how we got the idea of the Swap, and it is a funny story we want to share here.When we started to work on Ruffy and the Riverside, we did a lot of drawings for the level design. One day, I went through those drawings, and I found this black-and-white drawing of a waterfall. Something about this drawing made it hard to tell if it was a waterfall or a stream of lava. As I wondered what it was, I realized how amazing it would be if it just could be both. What if you could really Swap the textures of the game and transform the environment? The Swap was born.PlayStation memories and PlayStation dreamsWe have put much passion into Ruffy and the Riverside, and bringing it to PlayStation feels like a dream to us. We all grew up with classics like Crash Bandicoot and Ratchet & Clank, and you can certainly feel those vibes in Ruffy and the Riverside. Seeing Ruffy run on PlayStation 5 now really gives us the same joy as it used to when we were kids. I hope it gives you all the same feeling when the game releases on June 26.

When Lunar debuted in North America in 1993, it was a standout in the emerging Western market for Japanese RPGs. Lunar featured detailed, animated cinematic cutscenes, plenty of voice acting, high-quality music, andmost importantlyan endearing story packed with engaging and memorable characters. While it wasnt the first CD-ROM-based JRPG to hit the market, it was one that left a powerful impact on everyone who played it.A sequel, two PlayStation remakes, a PSP outing and more further broadened the audience for Lunar. More than 30 years after the series debut, Lunar and Lunar 2 are coming back to the realm of PlayStation with the Lunar Remastered Collection. To give some insight into what makes the Lunar games specialand to stir fond memories among longtime fanswe talked to Matthias Pergams, Producer over at GungHo Online Entertainment America.Play VideoSilver StandardLUNAR was one of the first JRPGs on the CD-ROM format, with animated cutscenes, in-game voice acting, and even an opening theme song, Pergams explains. The series gained a dedicated following both within and outside Japan, paving the way for the genre as a whole. Its a work that has a unique historical significance.The original Lunar has been remade and re-released a few times for various platforms (along with Lunar 2, to a lesser degree), so we were curious as to why the PlayStation Complete versions of the two games were chosen as the base for the remasters. Each version is different and possesses unique merits, so we actually struggled quite a bit with this question. Ultimately, the choice came down to which version we felt represented the series best. For us, it was the PlayStation version.As this is a Remaster rather than a Remake, we were wondering if there were any major gameplay or story changes that players familiar with the original games would notice. The overall story and gameplay will remain the same as the original release, Pergams assured us. We feel that the original still holds up today, and wanted to preserve the gameplay as it was envisioned by original developer GAME ARTS. We have added a variety of quality-of-life features to make gameplay smoother, such as an adjustable Battle Speed-Up option in both games, a toggleable option for a unified inventory system in Lunar 1 designed to simplify the item management process, and also the ability to customize the behavior of individual character AI during Lunar 1s battles.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageIn this Remaster Collection, we have prepared a Classic Mode for fans who prefer to play the game with the dots as they were back in the day an environment where you can play the game with almost the same graphics as in the PlayStation 2 era. We have also prepared a CRT filter for this mode, which we hope fans will try and see. Matthias PergamsRemastered LusterSo what is new and improved in this remaster? The most visible changes are the graphical updates, which include remastered graphics, in-game effects, UI, animated cutscenes, bromides (in-game collectible card items), and more. Perhaps the biggest feature is the new aspect ratio, as weve expanded the size of the screen to accommodate that of modern TVs. All the above features are in the Remastered Mode. The other is Classic Mode, which allows users to play the games with the graphics of the original PlayStation version.One major topic of discussion among longtime Lunar fans is the voice acting. When the announcement post went up here on the PlayStation Blog, it was revealed that there would be an all-new cast. How did the team select the new voices? Our priority when recording was making sure that we preserved the identity of each character through their new voice actors. We considered how we wanted each character to sound. Once we locked that down, we started looking at voice actors who were close to that, and then selected them based on how well they captured what we were envisioning. The end product is something were proud of.We also had all the vocal songs in Lunar 1 and 2 sung by the voice actresses of Luna and Lucia respectively, which we modeled after the original Japanese version of the game, Pergams noted.We asked Mr Iwadare to write a new song for this piece. The song is called Looking up at TERRA. It is used in the game selection screen, so I hope fans will listen to it. Matthias PergamsThe famous cutscenes are getting a touch-up, too. One of the key features of Lunar is the animated cutscenes, so we took a great deal of care with them during the remastering process. The original scenes still hold up well today, so our main goal in remastering was to touch them up for modern audiences, rather than change the content itself. We think the results speak for themselves!All of these updates and changes were done with the blessing and supervision of the original staff. Throughout development we frequently consulted GAME ARTS, the original development studio, and incorporated their feedback, explains Pergams. We also consulted other development staff, including the original composer, scenario writer, and character designer. Their input has been invaluable in maintaining the spirit of the original games during the remastering process.One such individual who revisited Lunar for this remaster is famed character designer Toshiyuki Kubooka. The team originally werent sure if he would be on board. Hes extremely busy these days, so when we first reached out to him, we didnt know if hed accept our offer! But he was kind enough to draw not just one, but a total of three completely new art pieces for the game.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imagePergams also passed along a message from Kubooka-sensei to fans. At first, I was surprised because itd been a while since Id worked on anything for Lunar, but I was really happy to have the chance to draw the cast again. Drawing them felt like meeting up with old friends again, so I had fun doing it. The art took longer than I expected, which inconvenienced everyone at Gungho America, but they were very transparent and cooperative so Im grateful to them as well.New frontiersLunar was well-loved in North America and Japan, butaside from the aforementioned PSP releaseLunars presence in Europe was nonexistent. We asked Pergams about releasing Lunar 1 and 2 Complete in Europe for the first time, and if they have anything they would like to say to players thinking about trying these games for the first time. First and foremost, thank you for considering the Lunar series! I think the core ethos of the series can be summed up in one word: Adventure. I believe the Lunar series captures the essence of the classic adventure, in which you set out into an unknown world, meet trustworthy friends, defeat evil, and find true love. All adventures are valid and worth having, but theres something nostalgic and unforgettable about the one Lunar provides.To finish things off, we wanted to see if Pergams had any advice for new players. Dont be afraid to use items! In many games, it can feel like a mistake to spend hard-earned money on temporary items rather than on permanent upgrades like weapons. However, itemsparticularly recovery itemscan make a world of difference in a tough boss fight. We also recommend trying out the games Auto Battle system, alongside the new Battle Speed-Up option, for smooth progression. However you decide to play, we hope you enjoy the Lunar games!

Howdy, Helldivers! Have you ever wanted to be a space cowboy, enforcing the fair laws of Super Earth on the edges of our galaxy, protecting our most remote colonies from undemocratic threats? Then step up, pardner, and claim your sheriffs star with the new premium Warbond: Borderline Justice!Play VideoWere heading out to the Wild West with the weapons this time. First up, lets take a gander at the new R-6 Deadeye lever-action hunting rifle. You can look forward to killin time bullseying bugs and rounding up squids and looking cool while you do it.But a lawman is nothing without his trusty sidearm. And instead of individual shots, the LAS-58 Talon revolver secondary is energy-based, meaning a slow and steady hand can keep on shooting without overheating. But if you need to bring the kind of heat that cant be measured by degrees, the Talon can do it.Another classic cowboy loadout item is the TED-63 Dynamite that comes with a variable timer and leaves an explosion thats sure to straighten the curves, flatten the hills, and take down any roaming patrols among the willows.Do you ever get a hankering to rise up above the herd and get a birds eye on the action? Could be that the LIFT-860 Hover Pack is just what youre looking forwhen the joint starts jumping, you can rise and hover for a little while and still aim or use ADS.Helldivers are made out of muscle and blood and thats why we have to keep you armored up. The GS-17 Frontier Marshal is a regulation standard medium Helldiver set, but it still manages to conjure up the look of hard living on the galactic frontier, hunting Bile Titans for sport.But if you want to look less like a running gun and more like the sheriff of Vernen Wells, I might suggest the GS-66 Lawmaker heavy armor, complete with cowboy holster and bandolier. Both sets of armor look great with either the Reaper of Bounties cape or the Way of the Bandolier cape.No matter which look you choose, youll be mighty good with the Gunslinger armor passive, which gives your secondary increased reload speed, increased draw/holster speed, and reduced recoil.With Borderline Justice, youll also unlock a new player title, Super Sheriff, to let everyone know youre their huckleberrythe galactic border colonies can rest a little easier on your watch. Were also providing player cards that match each cape, and youll also get a brand new booster: Sample Extricator! When you put down a big enemy, theres a small chance itll drop a sample to toss in your saddlebags.Cowboy hats might be outlawed by the Helldiver uniform code, but you can still say your howdies and farewells with the Tip Hat emote.If all that doesnt light your fires, then I dont know what will. Put the hammer down, divers, and give em hell when Borderline Justice arrives on March 20!

Revealing itself like a hidden blade, Assassins Creeds razor-sharp and refreshing combination of history, science fiction, and parkour-based action turned heads everywhere when it first emerged on our screens back in 2007. The result was a series rich in lore and unforgettable characters, spanning games, comic books, and even a Hollywood movie.Play VideoSo with Assassins Creed Shadows sneaking up on its March 20 PlayStation 5 launch, heres the perfect place to arm yourself with everything you need to know about the main strand of the series 13 titles.Assassins Creed 2007 PlayStation 3 UbisoftIntroducing the world to 12th-century assassin Altar Ibn-LaAhad, the fresh-faced sandbox action stealth game presented the concept of the Animus, a machine which allows people to relive the genetic memories of their ancestors. In this case, Altars life during the Third Crusade of the Holy Land is seen through his unsuspecting 21st-century descendant, Desmond Miles, as a winding plot unravels across both timelines.Assassins Creed set the tone for the genre for generations to follow, but most importantly, it was a pioneering leap forward for its even more popular sequelOn PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (via backwards compatibility), the following three titles are available as part of Assassins Creed The Ezio CollectionAssassins Creed II 2009 PlayStation 3 and 2016 PlayStation 4 (Enhanced) UbisoftPlay VideoContinuing Desmonds story, this crafty follow-up surprised everyone by sneaking away from Altar and dropping us into the Italian Renaissance Era. Ezio Auditore da Firenze was now the historical recipient of the Animus, delivering a story of revenge that saw the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli weaved into his quest. Even Desmond himself was granted more agency as he became entrenched within the modern-day Assassin Brotherhood.If Assassins Creed cut new cloth for its iconic style and timeless gameplay, the sequel only helped sharpen its impact as Ezio became a fan-favorite character.Assassins Creed Brotherhood 2010 PlayStation 3 and 2016 PlayStation 4 (Enhanced) UbisoftSet immediately after the events of Assassins Creed II, Ezio was the focal point again for this swift and deadly sequel, as he aimed to expand and recruit members into the Assassin Brotherhood across Rome. While retaining the new notoriety system from the previous game that tracked your social infamy and wanted level, Brotherhood introduced the ability to enact assassinations via horseback, perform heavy weapon throws and use a crossbow and poison darts. Ezio could also call upon apprentice assassins for asset-earning missions or help.Most notable was the inclusion of a fantastically devious multiplayer mode for the first time in the series, which let you hunt down friends and then drift away into a crowd like you were never thereAssassins Creed Revelations 2011 PlayStation 3 and 2016 PlayStation 4 (Enhanced) UbisoftPlay VideoConcluding the Ezio trilogy, Revelations featured the now-aged assassin traveling to Constantinople to find five keys needed to unlock Altars secret library that has the potential to end the war between Templars and Assassins. Meanwhile, a comatose Desmond is forced to achieve full Animus synchronization with Ezio and Altar to save his own mind.Revelations granted Ezio even more mobility with zip lines and the new Hookblade, which not only provided quicker traversal but could also be used in combat, yanking targets into a close-range attack, throw or even theft. Random events with NPCs and Templar stalkers also kept players on their toes.Assassins Creed III 2012 PlayStation 3 and 2019 PlayStation 4 (Remastered) UbisoftPlay VideoSetting the franchise in North America for the first time, Assassins Creed III drew a line under Desmonds ongoing mission to prevent a global cataclysm. This time, his path to the past was via the memories of an 18th-century Templar called Haytham Kenway, and Kenways illegitimate son Ratonhnhak:ton, who becomes the assassin Connor.Assassins Creed III unleashed a vast number of changes and improvements, with a greater focus on rural environments. Connor could duel-wield, perform a wider variety of counters, combos, and takedowns, and even use enemies as human shields. Animal hunting and naval combat were also introduced, and dramatic weather changes such as snow and rain impacted gameplay. In short, it was an (American) revolution for the series.Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag 2013 PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 UbisoftPlay VideoWith Assassins Creed III whetting the appetite for travel, Black Flag truly set the player free. Expanding on the previous games naval exploration and combat, Black Flags focus on the high seas during the Golden Age of Piracy allowed for a wider range of attacking enemy vessels, treasure trekking across underwater shipwrecks, sea animal hunts, and a variety of ocean-based side missions.Combining exploration on both land and sea to such an extent gave Welsh pirate Assassin Edward Kenway unparalleled freedom, mirrored by Kenways ability to not only free-aim but also use up to four flintlock pistols together. Not a bad trick to have up ones sleeve in a world with the likes of Blackbeard, Calico Jack, and Benjamin Hornigold.Assassins Creed Rogue 2014 PlayStation 3 and 2018 PlayStation 4 (Remastered) UbisoftPlay VideoTrue to its title, Assassins Creed Rogue allowed players to control Assassin-turned-Templar Shay Patrick Cormac, offering a dramatic twist of focus for the series. The result was a fascinating spin on expectations across all levels of the gameplay.While much of the previous elements remained naval combat and exploration, and a vast open world, albeit mostly set across the icy North Atlantic and mid 1700s New York City Shay has access to a wider access of projectile weapons, and hes constantly under threat from Assassins. There are even missions where you must intercept and defend an Assassin target from their hooded assailants.Assassins Creed Unity 2014 PlayStation 4 UbisoftPlay VideoReleased at the same time as Assassins Creed Rogue on PS3, Assassins Creed Unity, brought the franchise to PS4 for the first time, powered by an all-new game engine. While the chilly Rogue focused on a different narrative direction to previous titles, Unitys jaunt across Paris during the French Revolution warmed things up with a gameplay first for the series: an optional co-op campaign for up to four players.Collaboration, shared resources, and highly customizable weapons and gear that affected your playstyle were all prominent, as you assumed control of Assassin Arno Dorian.Assassins Creed Syndicate 2015 PlayStation 4 UbisoftPlay Video19th Century Victorian era London was the next stop, arriving with two more series of innovations. Not only were there twin Assassin protagonists that players could switch between Jacob and Evie Frye but Evies inclusion marked the first time you could play as a female Assassin in the mainline titles.Their task to find a piece of Eden and free the Big Smoke from Templar rule was aided by the ability to use carriages as transport, and a kidnapping mechanic where the twins could hold an enemy hostage to blend in and access restricted areas. Sneaky.Assassins Creed Origins 2017 PlayStation 4 UbisoftPlay VideoJumping all the way back to Ptolemaic Egypt and gently rebooting the series, Assassins Creed Origins explored the bloody beginnings of the Assassin Brotherhood (the Hidden Ones) and Templar Order (the Order of the Ancients) conflict. The vengeful Bayek of Siwa is our gateway to the past this time, channeled via former Abstergo Industries employee Layla Hassan in the modern-day era.Offering more role-playing elements than its forebears, Origins featured a greater focus on leveling up systems and progression, intricate crafting, and complex combat mechanics that also allowed Bayek to enter a frenzied state or perform brutal finishing moves.Assassins Creed Odyssey 2018 PlayStation 4 UbisoftPlay VideoLeaning on the more mythological aspects of Ancient Greece, Odyssey continued Laylas story in the modern day while giving players the chance to become one of King Leonidass descendants, Kassandra or Alexios. While the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta was central to its narrative, Odyssey built on the firm foundations set by Origins RPG-inspired elements, adding dialogue choices and NPC relationships, branching quests, and even multiple possible endings.Naval combat also made its welcome return, and a mercenary system expanded on the earlier games stalker system, with richly written bounty hunters targeting you. Oh, and lets not forget the tense encounters with mythological creatures such as the Sphinx and MinotaurAssassins Creed Valhalla 2020 PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 UbisoftPlay VideoIf the title didnt give it away, Valhalla placed players into the Viking invasions of 873 AD, running alongside the final part of Laylas globe-trotting modern-day story. Valhalla reintroduced the Assassin/Templar wars prominence in the series, entangling Viking raider protagonist Eivor who you can choose to be male or female into their growing conflict.Further refining the previous games mechanics, Valhalla brought back the player settlements mechanics that were last fully explored in Black Flag, as well as offering the chance to enjoy drinking contests, fishing and the hilarious insult hurling flying competitions.Assassins Creed Mirage 2023 PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 UbisoftPlay VideoWith its more direct and linear story, focus on stealth over action, and reemphasis on parkour-based movement, Mirage was a pushback to the series roots. Even the modern-day narrative was reduced to give players more time in 9th Century Baghdad with street thief turned Master Assassin, Basim Ibn Ishaq, who we first encountered in Valhalla.And now? Its not long before we experience the next stage of the Assassin/Templar war, this time in 16th-century Japan alongside shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe, and legendary samurai Yasuke, in Assassins Creed Shadows on March 20.But remember: Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Agent 47 is about to become much more dangerous. With Hitman World of Assassination lining up its PS VR2 shot on March 27, Senior Game Designer Eskil Mohl and Lead & Senior Technical Designer Toke Krainert understood the assignment and delivered some essential intel on the game.Play VideoWhat are some of the cool things players can do now in the game via VR?Eskil: We now have an incredible amount of new interactions. Theres a scene where you get a safe combination and you can visibly read it in your hand. The tactile sensation of actually looking at a note like this feels amazing. Every little set piece in the game before was a button press, and now you actually reach out and touch stuff. We were initially afraid they wouldnt hold up visually and audibly, so we were nicely surprised. Another one is that you can look away or use your arm to hide your eyes from flashbang grenades.Toke: There are so many ways of playing the game, and I think it just gets better in VR. It opens up that toolbox even more.Eskil:The other day Toke had one thing in his left hand, and another in his right, and he threw them up and caught them. And he suggested hed try juggling three things he was like, technically its possible, right?How has combat been changed by putting the game into VR?Eskil: Its significantly improved. Now you can use an items and weapons wheel instead of pausing the game. And with the weapons you feel way more badass. Before putting it in VR, entering combat was almost a fail state because of how often youd die, but now its a lot of fun.You can holster your gun on your back, and you also need to manually eject the magazine, use your other hand to grab a new one, insert it and then ready the weapon. It took a long time to implement, but its so rewarding.Was there a temptation to keep all of the game in first-person?Eskil: Absolutely. For instance, in a scene where youre stirring soup, we created a first-person prototype, and it felt clunky and a little disorientating. And in other places you couldnt really get that useful overview of the area youre in, especially when it comes to knowing where the enemies are. So certain scenes should feel more like a safe spot where you can get a strategic advantage, and it actually felt better in third-person.Did you feel like you had to make more things interactive, given players were now seeing the game world differently?Eskil: Yeah. When youre in first-person it changes your perception of the game and tactility of what youre interacting with. But when balancing the game we couldnt make everything interactive.Toke: We inherited things from the original version of the game, and when I used to be a Level Designer wed dress locations with items and try to find a good balance of things to pick up. But not all of them, because then you are just littered with props. And if we made everything interactive in VR you would also just have a whole room full of little toy blocks you can throw around. It would be a bit silly!Did you have to tweak the difficulty balance given the players are now using more tactile and intuitive controls?Eskil: It was a huge worry for me. Now you can dual wield anything, and things like the quick throw feature make you way more lethal and agile.Toke: But while you have more freedom, you also have more responsibility for the execution of actions that were previously automated. So aiming requires more deliberate motions, reloading takes time, and you have to keep track of where the items are, physically.Eskil: Yeah, so that is probably part of why it levelled itself out, in a way.Play VideoWere there specific points during development where you felt an Eureka moment in the transition to VR?Toke: In the beginning, when we were still figuring out the degree of fidelity in the game, we were prying a crowbar in a door for the first time and it cracked open. Suddenly it felt physical. Like, oh, now its a VR game. That became an indicator for how we did all those other world interactions.Eskil: Yeah, that was a really nice moment. And when we were originally using keys in the game, we initially just had the player hold the key to the door and it would spring open. Then Toke took it to the next level and said we could actually have it so you could put the key in the lock and turn it to open the door. It felt amazing.Have any of your favorite missions changed because of how you experienced it in VR?Toke: For me, its probably the train level. Its very linear. Players had mixed feelings about it and so did I, even though I worked on it, but now that you can play with all of these amazing weapons in VR, its just turned into a playground. Youre given one cool weapon after the next, and things to throw around, with a lot of armoured enemies coming at you, so you really have to practice those mechanics. Its really fun now.Eskil: Its the sort of level which isnt a typical Hitman level. Its a bit too action gamey but now in VR, it rocks. I had the same feeling in the Colorado section of the game. Players often rate it close to the bottom in popularity. But going gun blazing is so much fun.Hitman World of Assassination launches on PS VR2 March 27.

For quite some time, From Software was primarily known for their mech-based action games. The crown jewel of these games is Armored Core, which debuted on the original PlayStation and established a series that garners a devoted fanbase over two decades later.With the announcement of Armored Core (1997), Armored Core: Project Phantasma, and Armored Core: Master of Arena coming to PlayStation Plus Classics, nows the perfect time to take a trip into this series history.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core | PlayStation | 1997Armored Core found its origins through a collaboration between From Software and Shoji Kawamori, one of animes premier mechanical designers. In the earliest days of the original PlayStations life, From Software and Kawamori thought of an idea for a game about player-customizable mechs. Eventually, the concept evolved into being able to attach modular parts to a central unit, known as an Armored Core. From there came a story about Earth ruined by the Great Destruction, a corporate-ruled dystopia, and the Ravens, mercenary mech pilots with no allegiances beyond the power of money.Armored Core released in Japan and North America in 1997, with a European release hitting in 1998. The game stood out not only for its in-depth customization, resource management, and mission-driven progression, but a complex yet interesting control scheme that made players feel like they were in the cockpit of a custom-built mecha. The story also went in different directions depending on the missions you chose, creating a game that rewarded multiple playthroughs.Armored Core will be available with PlayStation Plus Premium starting March 18.Armored Core: Project Phantasma | PlayStation | 1998In response to player enthusiasm and feedback, Armored Core received two immediate expansion follow-ups. Project Phantasma is a more story-driven prequel to the original AC that introduced the wildly popular Arena mode, where players duel with other mechs to climb ranks and earn fabulous prizes.Armored Core: Project Phantasma will be available with PlayStation Plus Premium starting March 18.Armored Core: Master of Arena | PlayStation | 1999Master of Arena, as the title suggests, builds upon the Arena mode by making it the core focus. Being a direct sequel to Project Phantasma, both of these games allowed you to import save data from previous titles, keeping all of the hard-earned weapons and customizations youd earned. The original PlayStation Armored Cores set the stage for what came later, developing key features that define the series to this day. Kawamoris involvement also continued throughout the series, giving the mechs of AC a distinct look and feel that set them apart.Armored Core: Master of Arena will be available with PlayStation Plus Premium starting March 18.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core 2 | PlayStation 2 | 2000From Software was one of the earliest developers to embrace the power of the PlayStation 2, and among their early crop of PS2 titles was a sequel to Armored Core. (In fact, it was a launch title alongside the PlayStation 2 in North America in 2000.) The story of AC2 occurs several decades after the original PlayStation AC titles, taking the Raven to a terraformed Mars where civil war rages. Besides a hefty graphical upgrade, Armored Core introduces the Overboost mechanic, allowing mechs to move quickly when engaged though it guzzles energy rapidly. New Radiator, Extension, and Inside parts also allow for greater mech customization.A follow-up, Armored Core 2: Another Age, soon followed, taking the story back to Earth and its political struggles while featuring over 100 new missions for players to partake in. The Japanese release of AC2AA in 2001 is noteworthy since it was one of the first PS2 games to allow online play with the PS2s Network Adaptor.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core 3 | PlayStation 2 | 2002Armored Core continued on the PS2 in 2002 with the release of the third-numbered title. While Armored Core 3 didnt follow the story from the previous games, its setting remained very familiar: a ruined planet Earth where humans live in underground enclaves called Layered and are overseen by a mysterious, possibly malevolent AI named The Controller. New gameplay additions include Consortsallied units that aid you during missionsand the ability to remove weapons mid-mission to reduce weight and improve performance. AC3 also saw the return of the fan-favorite Arena mode, which AC2AA lacked.AC3 got a follow-up using the same engine in Armored Core 3: Silent Line. The titular Silent Line is the new threat on the Earths surface that emerged in the wake of AC3s events. This storyline continued through 2004s Armored Core: Nexus, though the changes to the gameplayincluding adding, removing, and adjusting several types of weaponrymeant that players couldnt import their data from the earlier AC3 titles. Two follow-ups to Nexus, Nine Breaker and Last Raven, completed the AC3 storyline. Several titles in this cycle would also see ports to the PSP.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core 4 | PlayStation 3 | 2006Armored Core 4s debut brought high-definition mech combat to the PlayStation 3 with style. Once again, the story was rebooted with the familiar premise of corporations dominating the lives of Earths populace and hiring mercenaries to do their dirty work. The new-generation Armored Cores, called NEXTs, feature upgraded new technology like Primal Armor, varied Boost options, and a new pilot interface called the Allegorical Manipulation Systemso advanced that only a select few psychic individuals, known as Lynx, can use it.AC4 revamped the control scheme from previous games, aiming to make the experience more intuitive for both new players and grizzled series veterans. The heat management system was removed and a new Quick Boost movement option was implemented, greatly affecting mech control and mobility. Visually, the HD fidelity of the PS3s graphics allowed for incredible detail in the environments, where your mechs combat actions directly affect your surroundings. A direct follow-up, Armored Core for Answer was released in 2008 and picks up a decade after AC4s story left off. Armored Core for Answer tells the story of conflict between humans and corporations that fled for safety in floating cities called Cradles and the rebel force, ORCA, fighting the corps overbearing influence from the surface.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core V | PlayStation 3 | 2012Armored Core V launched on PS3 in early 2012. The Earth is once again a complete mess, with the remaining population gathering in a single habitable city ruled over by the megalomaniacal Father. The player joins the Resistance forces as a mercenary to challenge Fathers dictatorship.The shift to using Roman numerals in the title hinted at some changes under the hood, and AC5s gameplay was a marked shift away from the speedier, action-driven combat of the more recent entries to a more careful, tactical style of play that harkened back to the early PlayStation installments. The Armored Core units were physically smaller, allowing them to take advantage of environmental features like taking cover and launching surprise attacks. Missions could now involve a whole squad of AC units, with an Operator who gives guidance throughout. New Overed Weapons provided incredible power with some massive drawbacks, while a new Scan mode let players shift into a non-combat mode to analyze enemies and conserve resources.2013s Armored Core: Verdict Day resumes the plot 100 years after AC5s events, throwing players into a war between three powerful entities vying for control of newly uncovered Towers filled with mysterious technology. The team-focused gameplay of AC5 was enhanced further by introducing customizable AI-controlled Armored Cores called UNACs into the mix.View and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageView and download imageDownload the imagecloseCloseDownload this imageArmored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon | PlayStation 5 | 2023We finally come to the Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.

Not only was AC6 a long-awaited return to form for the storied series, it succeeded in bringing many new fans into the seriesmany of whom were totally new to mech-based combat games.

Fans of Tokyo Ghoul rejoiceKen Kaneki is Dead by Daylights latest Killer and comes to PS5 and PS4 on April 2. For anyone new to the world of Tokyo Ghoul, the story takes place in a world where humans and Ghouls coexist. After a terrible accident, the bookish and kind Ken Kaneki receives a life-saving organ transplant from a Ghoul.The procedure spared him from death but at great cost. Awakening as a half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid, Kaneki struggled to accept his Ghoulish nature while fighting to maintain the humanity he so cherished.Verify your age to view this content.Verify your age to view this content.In Dead by Daylights reimagining of the character, Kanekis cruel torment at the hands of the ghoul, Jason, pushed his mind to its breaking point. Though he emerged victorious from his battle with Jason, Kaneki found himself immediately engulfed in an otherworldly black Fog, swept into The Entitys Realm to engage in an endless cycle of Trials.The humanity he fought so hard to retain is gone, replaced by a ghoulish desire for cruelty. His Kagune abilities, which manifest as deadly tentacles erupting from his back honed him into a preternatural instrument of death. Needless to say, Survivors have their work cut out for them provided he doesnt cut out their hearts first.Verify your age to view this content.Verify your age to view this content.Why change Kaneki?Given his importance to the world of Tokyo Ghoul, it was important to ensure Ken Kaneki remained the centrepiece of our Chapter. Rather than making him a Survivor, as his moral compass in the series may suggest, we felt it would be more interesting to really lean into the horror and present an alternate reality where Kaneki became exactly what he feared.While such a drastic change to Ken Kanekis personality was necessary to suit his role as a Killer, it allowed the team to delve into a Ghouls powers and take them to their darkest possible conclusion. Luckily, the Tokyo Ghoul Production Committee was on board for the story we wanted to tell, sharing our excitement to see this terrifying take on their protagonist.The Ghoul is a fast, agile, and brutal predator, and the incredible physical attributes given by the Kagune gave us a lot to play with, reflects Dave Richard, Dead by Daylights creative director. Weve seen him use his Powers before, but never quite so maliciously. I think fans of the series, new and old, will love being able to use the Kagune to rip Survivors apart.Verify your age to view this content.Verify your age to view this content.Fear the GhoulTokyo Ghouls unique approach draws on gruesome imagery, visceral moments of tension, and stylized ultraviolence. Before the design process started, it was important to identify those key elements of Tokyo Ghoul and really lean into them.Certain Ghouls are known for using tactics of deceit and manipulation, negative traits that fit the horror genre, continues Richard. Remember, this is a Ken Kaneki operating on his most primal ghoul instincts, who takes an almost gleeful joy in hurting others. Its a far cry from the kind-hearted boy he used to be, but The Entity is known to sink its claws into people at the most unfortunate times.With that in mind, the team leaned into the fantasy of embracing ones inner Ghoul. Players can use Kanekis Killer Power to propel around the map with Kagune tentacles, chaining your lunges together to strike Survivors with a deadly attack. Landing a successful attack will send you into Enraged Mode amplifying your strength and ferocity allowing you to chain an additional lunge.His unique character Perks Hex: Nothing But Misery, Forever Entwined, and None Are Free incentivize players to keep up the pressure and inflict damage on Survivors. Kaneki is not one to wait around and bide his time hes everywhere at once, bearing down on a Survivor before redirecting to his next victim.Vicious and quick, theres no stopping Kaneki once he gets a taste of blood. His cannibalistic tendencies are front and centre in his delightfully disturbing Mori, which gives a macabre meaning to the old idiom eat your heart out.Verify your age to view this content.Verify your age to view this content.With original voice lines from actor Natsuki Hanae, who portrays Ken Kaneki in the anime series, this new Chapter will be an absolute feast for Tokyo Ghoul fans and horror fans in general.Experience the power of Ken Kaneki in Dead by Daylight: Tokyo Ghoul, hitting PS5 and PS4 on April 2.
