Im Baiyon, the director of Dreams of Another and a multimedia artist. The release date for the game, October 10, is fast approaching.In this post, Id like to share the inspiration behind the themes of the game, the ideas behind the object dialogues, which is one of the aspects that makes the game special, and my personal dedication to the soundtrack I created.Play VideoHow did the theme no creation without destruction come about?Dreams of Another is built around the philosophical theme of no creation without destruction. Rather than destroying objects by shooting, as in traditional shooting games, here, your shots materialize and create the world around you.I have a memory about destruction and creation that has stayed with me. It happened during my middle school cultural festival. According to the school rules, everyone had to prepare some kind of exhibit, and my friend and I collected cardboard to make and display a cardboard sculpture.When the chime signaling the end of the one-day festival rang and cleanup began, I lightly started punching and breaking the sculpture. Since it was going to be thrown away anyway, perhaps it was a lighthearted thought born of youth: If its going to be cleaned up anyway, lets have some fun.At first, my friend laughed as he watched, but after a while, I felt a pain in my back. When I turned around, I saw my friend, with an angry face, kicking my back. From there, it escalated into a full-on fight, and a teacher, noticing, came into the classroom and shouted at me, Are you making something to destroy it?!Those words stayed with me in a way different from the teachers original intent. I think I understood that the teacher meant I should take care of what I create, but I kept thinking, Its going to be thrown away anyway Yet I found this human contradiction somehow interesting.That feeling has always run deep in my approach to creating things, and this game allowed it to take shape.Unique dialogue with objects like trees and doorsIn this game, you can not only interact with people in the dream world but also talk with objects such as trees and doors. One of the games major charms is being able to hear their sentiments and experience their emotions.For example, when I am thinking about ideas for this doors dialogue, I first realized that even when we say door, there are many kinds and positions. Doors in public places, such as buildings, schools, or shopping malls, doors in ones home, doors of the living room or bedrooms of children and teens, the door of the family home lived in for decades, or the door of a grandmothers house after losing her husband Each door is connected to human life, and I imagined that, like us, they might feel pride or even envy other doors.If I were a door, I would want to be a door that is there for an individuals personal space, rather than merely a being that separates spaces. At the same time, some doors might actually feel comfortable being roughly used by a large family in a living room, while others might feel suited to existing for strangers in a public facility.Imagine doors having a variety of preferences and ways of thinking. In the dialogues, nothing is imposed as right or a conclusion. I wanted players to reflect on their own environment, access past memories, and have a moment of reflection.In this way, the dialogues are not just flat and one-dimensionalthey can be experienced in a multi-layered way, from various perspectives, and connected to ones own memories.Of course, its perfectly fine to enjoy it simply as a door saying something a little strange. That playfulness and unexpectedness of the dialogues are part of the unique charm of this dream world.A unique approach to composing the soundtrackI have worked on various game soundtracks alongside my own projects over the years, but this time, I felt especially the sense of I made the music for a game.I wanted to create music that resonated with the scenarios and dialogues I wrote myself, as well as the situations and atmosphere of each scene, which made me approach the music in a way different from before. For each scene, I composed music with the intention of evoking certain feelings in the player and expressing particular emotions myself.Additionally, a key theme was to convey the instability and ambiguity of the dream world with music. One thing I consciously tried to avoid was being too polished. As a musician, this approach is somewhat challenging, but instead of creating compositions that are overly tight or densely structured, I aimed for music that flows.Also, for example, For a particular river scene inspired by my own memories and experiences, I actually spent a long time traveling to the location for field recordings to compose the music for the scene, capturing sounds such as flowing water and stones being rubbed togetherthe latter of which I then incorporated as rhythmic elements. These particular touches may go unnoticed by anyone, but for me, the focus was on keeping things genuine. By incorporating elements drawn from the source of inspiration as much as possible, I believe it could enrich the experience.I think there are many sounds that arent often heard during gameplay. While playing, I hope you take a moment to listen closely to these subtle detailsthey might lead to small discoveries or interesting experiences.Dreams of Another will launch on October 10 for PS5 and PS VR2. A special bundle is also available for pre-order, which includes the previous game I directed, PixelJunk Eden 2.If youre interested, please check out the store page. I truly look forward to you enjoying this special experience.

Dragon Quest is one of the most acclaimed and influential series in gaming. If youve ever played a Japanese (or Japanese-inspired) RPG, it probably owes a debt to this amazing franchise.And it all started with Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II.These games captivated players by sending them on epic adventures across expansive worlds full of imaginative locales, while battling all manner of monsters. It was an experience like few others.Play VideoNew Gameplay Overview Trailer offers a look at exploration, combat, party lineup, and more.Now these games are hitting PlayStation consoles for the first time in Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. These are no simple retro revivals though both games have been fully remade and enhanced, with new features that make them feel fresh and modern without sacrificing their original charm.Theyve been rebuilt in the stunning HD-2D visual style made famous by series like Octopath Traveler, and feature additional content, gameplay improvements, tons of quality-of-life features like objective markers and auto-battle features and much more.Its basically two of the most respected RPGs ever made, but made better. If youre a fan of the genre, theyre a must-play.But what went into the game and their many enhancements? We spoke to Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Producer Masaaki Hayasaka to find out:Why did you decide to remake Dragon Quest I and II?There have been lots of ports and remasters of Dragon Quest I, II and III released over the years, but there hasnt been a full remake in a very long time. Octopath Traveler established the HD-2D graphical style, and with HD-2D graphics, the more retro a game is, the more its true value is revealed. Since the titles that make up the Erdrick trilogy are the most retro of all the Dragon Quest titles, and the starting point of the franchise as a whole, we realised that the HD-2D style would be a perfect fit, and so we resolved to remake them.Why did you decide to include both remakes in one package?The main reasons behind this were to do with the practicalities of production. If we had decided to release Dragon Quest I and II as separate titles, then there would have been a lot to consider: like how we price the games appropriately for the amount of content, how that pricing would affect players perceptions of the games, what to do about release windows etc. Another big factor behind this decision was that releasing both games as a single set would mean that we could present players with a package that wraps up the Erdrick Trilogy quicker than having two separate releases. Making everything separately would have taken much more time.Why did you feel that HD-2D was the right visual style to rebuild these games?As I mentioned previously, the more retro a game is, the more HD-2D really shows its true value. Having worked on HD-2D titles ever since the launch of Octopath Traveler, I got to see for myself how the HD-2D style came into existence, and how it was received by the world. Also, the Live a Live remakealso made by Square Enixs Team Asanowas the first instance of a HD-2D remake title, and that was very well received, so it gave me confidence as I embarked on this project.Its a very beautiful game. How did you approach the challenge of turning 2D environments into visually impressive 3D ones?The most difficult thing about converting 2D into 3D was the environments. For this remake, we more-or-less adhered to the structures of the environments from the original game, from the placement of the buildings in the towns to the positioning and path making of the staircases in the dungeons (I would love for someone to look at the environments from directly above and compare them with the original game!).So even though the games visuals have been changed significantly, I wanted people who played the original game to still be able to rely on their memories of it to be able to say, I seem to remember that if I go over here, then Ill find this thing Yep! There it is!. Taking aspects of the original game that were designed in 2D and recreating them in 3D while still preserving the structure of the original really puts your level-design skills to the test, but the map team and the planning team did a fantastic job, which meant that we were able to achieve just what we set out to do.Why did you decide to release this after Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake?When I think about I, II and III, I think that Dragon Quest III was the most complete title out of the three, including in terms of its game mechanics. Dragon Quest III was also a cultural phenomenon in Japan, and I had some discussions with Yuji Horii in which he said hed like to see the Erdrick Trilogy remade with Dragon Quest III coming out first as a sort of entry point, so that was how the Dragon Quest III remake got started. So it was decided at the very beginning of the project that we wanted the games to be played in the order III, I, II.Do you need to have played Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake to enjoy these games?Dragon Quests I, II and III all tell standalone stories, so of course players can enjoy these games without having played Dragon Quest III. However, these remakes offer a fresh retelling of the story of Erdrick in chronological order starting with Dragon Quest III, followed by I and II, and there are certain twists and turns in store that will be particularly surprising if you play the games in that order, so I would like for people to play the HD-2D remakes in the order III, I, II, and from a developer standpoint as well, I recommend playing them in that order!Why do you think Dragon Quest I and II still hold up as great games, even so many years later?I think a big part of it could be that these titles hold the distinction of being the starting point of the Dragon Quest series, which has endured for around 40 years, as well as the starting point of JRPGs themselves. I think that you could say this of other IPs as well, but when you find a series that you like, you naturally reach a point where you want to play the first title in the series. On top of that, Dragon Quest was a pioneering title that influenced many of the JRPGs that came after it. And so when people actually try Dragon Quests I and II for themselves and get a sense of all these elements that have appeared again in all kinds of JRPGs, I think they come to understand why its such a masterpiece.For many people, particularly regions outside Japan and America, this will be their first time experiencing these games. Why should RPG fans be excited to play these titles?Recently, a lot of RPGs have adopted more action gameplay elements, but this remake respects the original, and its presented in a classic command-battle RPG style. The enemy encounters are random as well, rather than being triggered by walking up to monsters on the map. So conversely, titles like this are actually rare nowadays, and it feels like we may have gone full circle, to the point that theyre now considered fresh again. As I mentioned previously, these games have influenced a huge number of JRPGsit isnt really possible to talk about JRPGs without mentioning themso I believe that people are going to find them really interesting to play, precisely because of when theyre coming out.What were your key priorities when you started development of these games?When we were working on the recent HD-2D remake of Dragon Quest III, our goal was to avoid tampering with the original as far as possible, and to only add a little embellishment. For this title, however, our approach was that we could change as much as we wanted to, as long as the core of the game was still intact, and we placed great importance on the knowledge that we could make changes. That being said, if we had made too many changes, then we would have transformed the game into something completely different. But if we had restricted ourselves too much on what we could change, then people would have said, why not just play the original?. So we were particularly careful about finding that balance, and I think that in the end, we landed on something that is really good.How have you made these games more convenient for modern players?When we were working on the Dragon Quest III remake, we did a lot of work to improve playability. We added an autosave feature, a quick restart following a game over, location guides, destination markers, difficulty options, enemy weakness indicators, UI control improvements etc., etc. And for this game we have also included the Short-Cut Commands feature, which allows players to set shortcuts for their favourite commands to specific buttons, which should scratch the itch for most players. So I think that this game offers an appropriate level of user-friendliness for a modern title.Both games feature additional scenarios. Why did you want to add these into the games?The original games were obviously released in the order I, II, III, but as I said earlier, were releasing them in the order III, I, II this time around. The revelation that the original Dragon Quest III had a narrative connection with Dragon Quest I was hugely impactful, but we couldnt replicate that in the remakes. So instead, we decided to release them in the order that the events of the Erdrick Trilogy take place, starting with III, followed by I and II, and we decided to make the most of this by adding some new story elements.Without spoiling anything, what additional story elements do people have to look forward to in the games?I think the phrase, epic conclusion just about sums it up. We added some elements of foreshadowing in the recent Dragon Quest III remake, including some mysteries that dont get tied up in that game, and for this title, we have incorporated all sorts of content: some things that arent addressed at all in the original game, some things that we think fans of the original will be curious to know more about, and some twists that I dont think anybody will see coming. I think that there are quite a few surprises in store for anyone playing this game. I cant wait to hear what everybody makes of this once the game is out.How difficult was it to add elements to these games so that they felt natural, but didnt detract from the original charm?During development, we had to keep in mind that we wanted to strike the balance between making changes wherever we saw fit, without undermining the original game, so this was something that was constantly playing on our minds. However, we also had Horii-san on our side, so we were constantly having discussions with him, and we were able to move forwards with development one step at a time.Why have you added the Princess of Cannock as a new playable character in Dragon Quest II?We wanted to come up with something that would make this title stand out. There are a lot of examples of remakes of mainline Dragon Quest titles adding new vocations or new party members, and we were aware that these had been very well received by fans. The recent remake of Dragon Quest III included the new monster wrangler vocation. Since this game is a sequel to Dragon Quest III, we knew that we had to come up with a standout new feature that measured up to the monster wrangler, and so we came up with this idea for the Princess of Cannock. She appears in the original game as well, and just like the games protagonist, she too is a descendant of Erdrick, so there was a lot of speculation among fans that she might become a party character at some point. I dont think theres anybody better suited to the role than her.What lessons did you learn from Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake and how have they helped you develop this title?Dragon Quest III taught me that everybody has their own opinions on what they think a remake title should look like. The more famous a game is, the greater the variety of peoples opinions about what they expect to be included and what would be the best approach. And this isnt just true of players; its true of developers as well. Its physically impossible to satisfy everyones desires for a remake, so you have to try and find the best approach that you think will please fans the most, while also taking into account time constraints and the limitations of the game structure as well.The scope for what were changing is much bigger for this remake of Dragon Quest I and II than it was for the Dragon Quest III remake, so the decision-making process for which of those opinions we adopt and which we disregard was considerably more difficult. That being said, our stance during development was always to take the approach that we knew would please the largest number of people.What have been the most challenging things about developing Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake?That would have to be the story. For RPGs, the story is the root out of which everything else grows. The environments, character sprites and other aspects of the game are the branches and leaves that grow out of that root, so development cant move forwards until the story is decided upon. The more you tweak the story, the more difficult it is to remake the game, and for this game we certainly made some major enhancements to the story. We spent a lot of time on the story, including discussions and tweaks with Horii-san, so I think you could say that this was a pretty major challenge.How did you overcome these challenges?A lot of very dependable staff joined the project partway through, both internally and externally. Thanks to them we were somehow able to figure it out. If those people hadnt joined the project, then I think it would still be unfinished even now. I think that this is true of any project, and not just games, but ultimately it all depends on the talents of each individual member of the team. I am truly grateful to each and every member of this team.What are you most excited for fans to discover when they play Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake?I cant reveal any details yet, but I think that the new story content will really resonate with a lot of Dragon Quest fans, regardless of whether theyve played the original or not. I hope fans will look forward to this. Also, just like with the Dragon Quest III remake, Dragon Quests I and II feature a lot of famous lines of dialogue, events and characters. Try to spot all the different references as you play through the main story!I hope that people will really enjoy this title that serves as both the starting point of the Dragon Quest franchise, and the starting point of JRPGs in general! And I also hope that people will enjoy seeing the story of Erdrick through to its conclusion!Many thanks to Hayasaka-san for answering our many questions about the game. Heres one more you might have: when can I play it?!Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake launches October 30, 2025 on PS5. Its available to preorder now we cant wait for you to discover what these two games have in store!

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, launching August 28 on PlayStation 5, is a remake of the 2004 PlayStation 2 classic, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I had a conversation with the developers during a Tokyo press event to discuss the upcoming remake and its development process.Faithfully replicating the thrill and impact of the originalPlayStation Blog: How important was it to your team to create a game that stayed true to the original?Noriaki Okamura (Metal Gear Series Producer): We began this project with the intention of bringing a 20-year-old game to the present day. While we updated the graphics and certain game mechanics to ensure todays players could fully enjoy the experience, we wanted to stay true to the original as much as possible.What challenges did your team face during development, and what specific adjustments were implemented?Okamura: I had no intention of altering the original story, so I insisted that we can just update the game graphics. Korekado disagreed and warned me that that approach will not work, but I initially had the team re-create the game just with new character models. Although the graphics improved, they appeared doll-like and unrealistic, so I finally realized that my plan was inadequate.Yuji Korekado (Creative Producer): We began by reworking the animation and game mechanics. We implemented animation programming that didnt exist two decades ago to make the game more realistic, but that also meant we couldnt reproduce the original game mechanics. Metal Gear is a stealth game, so its crucial for players to be able to make precise movements. We put in a lot of effort to replicate the same feel as the original, while maintaining realism.Are there any areas of the game that you wanted to recreate as faithfully as possible?Korekado: We made sure that the jungle looked as realistic as possible. We devoted a lot of time modeling every fine detail like leaves, grass, and moss covering the ground. Since the perspective shifts along with the characters movements, players will get a closer look at the ground when theyre crouching or crawling. To make sure the environment was immersive from every angle, we carefully crafted every element with great precision.Have any enhancements been made compared to the original PS2 version?Korekado: We enhanced the visuals to be more intuitive. Thanks to increased memory and much faster speeds the user experience has improved significantly, including faster transitions to the Survival Viewer or having a quick menu to swap uniforms. On top of that, the audio improvements are remarkable. Sound absorption rates vary depending on the materials of the walls and floors, which allows players to detect enemies behind walls or nearby animals intuitively. In areas like caves and long corridors, unique echo parameters help distinguish different environments, which I think is a major advancement for stealth gameplay.Extra content for players to enjoy diverse gameplayThe remake features Fox Hunt, a new online multiplayer mode. Why did you include this in the game instead of Metal Gear Online (MGO)?Yu Sahara (Fox Hunt Director): The remake features significantly enhanced graphics, so we explored various online modes that aligned with these improvements. We decided to focus on stealth, sneaking, and survival, since those are also the key pillars of the main game. We landed on a concept that is based on hide-and-seek, that is classic Metal Gear, while also being reminiscent of the stealth missions featured in the earlier MGO.Can players earn rewards by playing the Fox Hunt mode?Sahara: While there are no items that can be transferred to the main game, players can unlock rewards like new camouflage options by playing Fox Hunt multiple times.Were there any challenges or specific areas of focus while remaking Snake vs Monkey mode?Taiga Ishigami (Planner): Our main goal was to make Pipo Monkey even more charming, cute, and entertaining. We developed new character actions, including the Gotcha! motion, and each animation and sound effect were carefully reviewed to ensure it captured Pipo Monkeys personality. If anything felt off, we made changes right away.I heard the new Snake vs Monkey mode features an Astro Bot collab.Ishigami: Yes, a couple of bots from the Astro Bot game will make an appearance, and you can capture them just like the Pipo Monkeys. Capturing these bots isnt required to finish the levels, but youll receive unique rewards if you do. Depending on the level, either a standard bot or a Pipo Monkey bot will be hidden away, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.Do you have any final words for new players as well as longtime fans of the original game?Okamura: I rarely cry when playing games, but I remember bawling my eyes out while playing the original Metal Gear Solid 3. The development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater was driven by our goal to faithfully capture the impact and thrill that players felt two decades ago. Metal Gear Solid 3 is the ultimate example of storytelling in games, and having dreamed of making a game like this, I now feel a sense of fulfillment. I hope everyone enjoys the story as much as I do.Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater arrives on PS5 on August 28.Read a new hands-on report with the game.

Whats up, everyone? Im gonna assume youve already seen the announcement trailer for Grasshopper Manufactures all-new title, Romeo Is A Dead Man. If not, then do yourself a favor and go watch it now. Its cool Ill wait two and a half minutes.Play VideoOK, so you get that theres gonna be a whole lot of extremely bloody battle action and exploring some weird places, but I think a lot of people may be confused by the sheer amount of information packed into two and a half minutes Today, well give you a teensy little glimpse of how Romeo Stargazer aka DeadMan, a special agent in the FBI division known as the Space-Time Police goes about his investigations.Romeo Is A Dead Man, abbreviated as I dont know, RiaDM? or maybe RoDeMa, if youre nasty? Anyway, one of the most notable features of the game is the rich variety of graphic styles used to depict the game world. Seriously, its all over the place but like, in a good way. The meticulously-tweaked action parts are done in stunning, almost photorealistic 3D, and weve thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the more story-based parts.And dont worry, GhM fans we promise: for as much work as weve put into making the game look cool and unique, the story itself is also ridiculously bonkers, as is tradition here at Grasshopper Manufacture. We think longtime fans will enjoy it, and newcomers will have their heads exploding. Either way, youre guaranteed to see some stuff youve never seen before.As for the actual battles, our hero Romeo is heavily armed with both katana-style melee weapons and gun-style ranged weapons alike, which the player can switch between while dispersing beatdowns. However even the weaker, goombah-type enemies are pretty hardcore. Youre gonna have to think up combinations of melee, ranged, heavy, and light attacks to get by. But the stupidly gratuitous amount of blood splatter and catharsis youre rewarded with when landing a real nuclear power move of a combo is awe-inspiring, if thats your thing. On top of the kinda-humanoid creatures youve already seen, known as Rotters, weve got all kinds of other ultra-creepy, unique enemies waiting to bite your face off!Now, lets look at one of the main centerpieces of any GhM game: the boss battles. This particular boss is, well, hella big. His name is Everyday Is Like Monday, because of course it is. Its on you to make sure Romeo can dodge the mess of attacks launched by this big-ass tyrant and take him down to Chinatown. Its one of the most feelgood beatdowns of the year!Also, being a member of something called the Space-Time Police means that obviously Romeo is gonna be visiting all sorts of weird, what?-type places. And awaiting him at these weird, what?-type places are a range of weird, what?-type puzzles that only the highest double-digit IQ players will be able to solve! This thing looks like a simple sphere that someone just kinda dropped and busted, but once you really wrap your dome around it and get it solved, damn it feels good. There are a slew of other puzzles and gimmicks strategically or possibly just randomly strewn throughout the game, so keep your eyeballs peeled for them and try not to break any controllers as you encounter them along your mission.Thats all for now, but obviously there are still a whole bunch of important game elements we have yet to discuss, so stay tuned for next time!

For too long, weve waited and watched as The Gloom expands to swallow more innocent star systems. For too long, weve let the Terminds wreak havoc on our colonies, our cities, our homes. The Terminids have pushed into our territory for long enough.Now, with new recruits trained and ready, its time to push into unknown territory. Into the Unjust comes to Helldivers 2 on September 2.Play VideoEnter the GloomIts finally time to discover what lies behind the Gloom shroud enveloping these planets we call Hive Worlds. Prepare your squad to disappear into the fog and discover new dangers, from towering structures built by Terminids to what horrors lurk beneath the planet surfaces.Into the heart of darknessDeep underground lies a labyrinth of cave tunnels that twist and turn, infested with the Hive Lung that seems to be the force that produces the thickening fog that makes up the Gloom.Because of the nature of the caves, your Super Destroyer wont be able to give you full support. Itll be your team alone against the horror.Terrors above and belowWhat little intelligence we have on the Gloom contains information about a new subterranean species of Terminid Warriors, Bile Spewers, and Chargers that, when they detect a threat, will burrow underground and begin moving toward prey. Once close enough, they erupt from the ground and attack.It doesnt stop there. The Gloom has mutated the Terminids even further, into grotesque monsters like the Dragonroach: a menace in the sky that dives unsuspecting Helldivers and rains down burning bile.Our reports indicate that there are even greater, more terrifying creatures lying in wait on Hive Worlds, Helldiver. You must find them and take them out.Taking back Hive WorldsThe Helldivers will also face brand new challenges while liberating Hive Worlds, like escorting a mobile oil rig. Helldivers must defend the rig from attacks while it traverses the treacherous Hive World terrain to the next drill site, where it will extract oil.Meanwhile in the underground, youll be forced to locate and destroy the Hive Lung in an effort to stem the spread of the Gloom. There are also new optional and sub-objectives available, too.Its going to take all your determination and teamwork to stop the infestation from spreading any further and liberate the Hive Worlds. Get ready to dive Into the Unjust1 on September 2, Helldivers.Introducing the Dust Devils Premium WarbondWere not sending you to a Hive World without the best gear we have to offer, Helldiver. The Ministry of Defense has fast-tracked the deployment of the Dust Devils Warbond2, which will ensure survival in the harshest conditions these worlds can throw your way.Weapons and StratagemsDust Devils comes with a hefty offering of one primary weapon, a new throwable, and three unique stratagems that will aid in clearing the airand all the bugson Hive Worlds.AR-2 CoyoteYou can hunt in packs or go by your lonesome with this assault rifle that features incendiary ammunition. But be warned: this coyote is wild.G-7 PineappleThis cluster frag grenade might look like a cute and unassuming fruit, but itll have the bugs in absolute pieces.S-11 SpeargunA true big game hunters companion. The S-11 fires heavy-duty projectiles that release a cloud of gas on impact.EAT-700 Expendable NapalmHeat up the planet with this single-use missile that contains napalm cluster bombs.MS-11 Solo SiloThe long-range power of a missile in a new convenient package. Calls down a Hellpod-sized missile silo with a single, ultra-powerful missile and a handheld targeting remote.Armors, Capes, and moreWhether youre crouched behind craggy boulders, waiting for your moment to spring a trap on unsuspecting Terminids or marching in formation with your squad to intimidate them, theyll look the part. Both feature the Desert Stormer passive, which grants resistance to fire, gas, acid, and arc, as well as providing a throw range increase to the bearer.Youll also receive capes, player cards, an emote and player title, and a new pattern for your vehicles and Hellpods.DS-42 Federations BladeCaptures the essence of armies marching through the desert sands. Wear with the Rightful occupier cape and player card for a polished look.DS-191 ScorpionLook like a true nomadic warrior in this desert-proof draped set, pairs perfectly with the Windswept Wayfinder cape and player card.Title: Burier of HeadsEmote: Raiders CheerPattern: Rattlesnake for vehicles and HellpodsArm your fighters against the perils that await them on Hive Worlds and beyond!

Since we first announced Lumines Arise during the State of Play in June, weve been inundated with the same question from fans: When will the demo be available?! And the answer isright now! You can play the limited-time Lumines Arise Demo on PlayStation 5 now through September 3 and try out three single-player stages and help us network test the all-new multiplayer Burst Battle mode.We also have a release date for the full gameNovember 11, 2025. Pre-orders start today (and include a 10% discount for PS Plus subscribers!)go to the PS Store page for that and to download the demo.Lumines for allNever played a Lumines game before? Or forgot how it works? Or never got it in the first place? Good news: Arise is incredibly easy for anyone to get into, thanks to an excellent interactive tutorial that walks you through everything, step-by-step. (And even old pros wont wanna miss the intro to new mechanics like Burst!)The Demo only features one difficulty (Easy the final game will have four different levels), but youll also find robust options to fit every play style under Accessibility in the Options menu. Want to just groove to the music and not worry about time pressure, or a Game Over when you top out? Try the No Stress Lumines options for that! Want to strip away the visual flourishes to focus more on the gameplay? Theres options for that! Or playing on your PlayStation Portal and want to zoom in to get the most out of your portable screen real estate? Theres options for that, too!Play VideoAn all-new multiplayer experienceBurst Battle represents a complete reinvention of multiplayer Lumines, borrowing from the competitive-puzzle-game greats, but adding a twist all its own.Now, both players have an entire playfield to themselves and can send garbage blocks to attack their opponent. You generate these attacks by clearing 22 (or larger) Squares, or by triggering the all-new Burst mechanic (where you have a few Timeline passes to build a single color match as large as possible). The bigger the Burst, the larger the deluge your opponent will face! Meanwhile, garbage blocks can pile up on the sides, shrinking the available playfieldonly matching blocks adjacent to garbage will clear it out. This ebb and flow can get super tense and really fun, I hope you try it out!The Demo features a taste of Burst Battle via matchmaking, but the full version of the game will offer friend / CPU matches, custom matches, and local play. And youll get to select your favorite stage music / block-visuals that you unlocked in the single-player Journey mode to use in multiplayer; its kind of like having your own theme song as you head into battle!Everyones hereincluding Astro Bot?Starting today, you can pre-order the Standard or Digital Deluxe Edition of Lumines Arise on PlayStation Store. And as mentioned above, PS Plus members get a 10% discount on the pre-order.The Digital Deluxe Edition (also available as an upgrade to the Standard Edition) includes the full game and four exclusive Loomii in-game avatars. You can customize your Loomii in-game to match your personality, and the set in the Digital Deluxe Edition includes skins based on Tetris Effect: Connected, Rez Infinite, Humanity, and, whats thisAstro Bot is appearing as a guest as well! A big thank you to our friends at Team Asobi for making this crossover possible. The image above is just a previewthe final look of these avatars will be revealed soon.Also, because it wouldnt be Lumines Arise news without some new music, a new single from the soundtrack has been released. Hydelics hypnotically thumping anthem Dreamland is the sonic backdrop of the Chameleon Groove stage from the Demo, and is available now on Bandcamp with a release soon on your favorite streaming services. We know that after you play the demo, youll want to add this to your favorite daily playlist.A quick note for PS VR2 owners: unfortunately VR mode couldnt make it in time for this demo, but we can confirm it will be available at launch on November 11! Thank you for all your passion and excitement for VR, and in this case, for your patience. (And maybe youll get a glimpse of Arise in VR somewhere sometime before launch after all?)We hope youll check out the Demo, tell us what you think, and get ready for the launch of the full game on November 11.
