A technical marvel when it first launched in 1992, Alone in the Dark set the standards for immersive horror adventures to come. Developer Pieces Interactive is returning to the franchise’s roots in terms of setting while updating and reimagining the game for a new generation of players.</p>

<p class="">To do justice to such a seminal title in video game history, we’re proud to say there is a stellar lineup of talent involved. Developers Pieces Interactive is a mix of hot new talent and seasoned veteran developers. An engaging story has been created by Mikael Hedberg, cult horror writer of SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent, some of the most acclaimed narrative horror experiences of the last decade. Legendary Guillermo del Toro collaborator, Guy Davis, has contributed monster designs. And Doom Jazz legend Jason Köhnen provides eerie and haunting melodies to create a tense, twisted and haunting audio atmosphere. </p>
<p class="">In Alone in the Dark, you’ll experience a completely original story, but it does incorporate characters, places, and themes from the original ’90s trilogy. No prior knowledge of the original titles is required to enjoy the game, but fans of the series will find plenty that is familiar.</p>

<p class="">Our Alone in the Dark is set in the gothic American south during the 1920s – a noir setting with classic Lovecraftian horror elements. It’s a world where the familiar meets the surreal. You’ll revisit an expanded and transformed Derceto Mansion, the location that featured in the 1992 game, and various other sites connected to Derceto too. Both Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby, the original game’s protagonists, are playable, but all enemies are new, original creations. Although there are some nods to monsters from the past… </p>
<p class="">The game features classic survival horror gameplay, as you’d expect. You’ll explore environments, solve puzzles, and experience a deep psychological original horror story. You’ll also experience hyper-tense action and combat as you battle supernatural monsters. We aim to create a game that takes advantage of modern gaming technology to reimagine so much of what makes the original great while pushing things forward for a new Alone in the Dark experience on PlayStation 5. We can’t wait to reveal more. </p>

SpongeBob and Patrick are traveling to a multitude of different Wishworlds, each with its very own setting and rules, like the Wild West Jellyfish Fields or the Halloween Rock Bottom.

<p class=""><strong>What was the elevator pitch for the game?</strong></p>
<p class="">Let’s create a brand new spiritual sequel to our fan-favorite remake Battle For Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated. A 3D platformer focused on themed worlds, funky costumes and the buddy banter between SpongeBob and Patrick. Focusing on SpongeBob, as he travels the Wild West, medieval or prehistoric times and more, was always at the core of the game vision. And the idea of having Patrick be your constant companion, in the form of a cute Balloon, was also there right from the very beginning.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Was it always certain a sequel was on the cards?  </strong></p>
<p class="">Greenlighting a new project in the world of SpongeBob is a collaborative process with our very supportive friends at Nickelodeon, who know the franchise in and out and make the final call. Ultimately the success of Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated, and the passionate support of its fans is what allowed us to send SpongeBob and Patrick on another great adventure!   </p>
<p class=""><strong>How does the game evolve or change the gameplay from the previous title?  </strong></p>
<p class="">Battle For Bikini Bottom had three playable characters: SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy. Each with one or more special abilities. For The Cosmic Shake we decided to focus on SpongeBob and giving him a lot of new abilities, like a flying karate kick or being able to roll around on big rocks. Unlocking dozens of cult classic costumes for SpongeBob is also for the first time a core focus in a SpongeBob game. Whether you want to run around as a knight in shiny armor or just in your underpants: it’s up to you!</p>
<figure class="wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><ul class="blocks-gallery-grid"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img alt="" height="576" src="https://blog.playstation.com/tachyon/2022/08/da2735ec2624df5296c7b1b42a136d1429586df9.png?fit=1024%2C1024" width="1024"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img alt="" height="576" src="https://blog.playstation.com/tachyon/2022/08/c0e8a5a743988439f0d09ac7acb24c81ec4b3da5.png?fit=1024%2C1024" width="1024"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img alt="" height="576" src="https://blog.playstation.com/tachyon/2022/08/56efa52f82a7bca4509cc71650a8d346e96c4a06.png?fit=1024%2C1024" width="1024"/></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img alt="" height="576" src="https://blog.playstation.com/tachyon/2022/08/5b7bd5b9bf6ea242b07c80dae881e351577e90c5.png?fit=1024%2C1024" width="1024"/></figure></li></ul></figure>
<p class="">And last but not least, the themed worlds. SpongeBob inadvertently messes with the very fabric of the universe, when playing with a vial of wish-fulfilling Mermaid’s Tears. As a result Patrick is turned into a balloon, and our heroes have to travel to weird Wishworlds to bring back their friends and restore Bikini Bottom. Whether it’s bringing back Sandy from a karate-movie themed Downtown Bikini Bottom or rescuing Pearl from the medieval Sulfur Fields… every world is unique and has its own distinct story.     </p>
<p class=""><strong>Can you describe the gameplay levels that you can see in the showcase trailer?</strong></p>
<p class="">In the trailer you get a first look at multiple worlds that SpongeBob and Patrick travel to in the game. It starts with the boss fight against a giant Gary in Halloween Rock Bottom. Then we join our heroes searching for Squidward in the Prehistoric Kelp Forest. That leads us straight into some funky kah-rah-tay action in Downtown Bikini Bottom. And finally we get a first glimpse at the Wild West Jellyfish Fields.</p>

<p class="">Hungry for an even deeper summary of God of War (2018)? Keep reading for a full recap.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">God of War (2018) Story Recap </h2>
<p class="">Our story begins with an end, the funeral of Faye – mother to Atreus and wife of Kratos. Her last wish imparted to her family is to scatter her ashes on the highest peak in all the realms. This request begins a journey that forces father and son to work together as they face the dangerous Norse wilds filled with beasts, monsters, and less-than-friendly gods.  </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277584084_e8caff48a1_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277584084_e8caff48a1_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Father </h2>
<p class="">Kratos, despite trying to leave his bloody past as the Ghost of Sparta behind, is still haunted by the man – the <em>god</em> – he was. His relationship with Atreus has been distant, stern, and disciplined. Now coping with the death of his wife, Kratos must learn to be the father that his son needs so they can both survive their journey across distant realms to lay Faye to rest.  </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277336008_4afe336914_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277336008_4afe336914_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Son </h2>
<p class="">Atreus is a young boy dealing with the sudden loss of his mother and a cold, distant father. Despite being sickly as a child and only very recently recovering enough to travel, Atreus wants nothing more than to fulfill his mother’s final wish and prove to his father that he is strong. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277340003_69c1786ed8_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277340003_69c1786ed8_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Having been taught by Faye how to use a bow and hunt, Atreus hopes that he can show Kratos he will be an asset on their journey and that he is no longer the frail boy he used to be. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arrival of the Stranger </h2>
<p class="">After the funeral of Faye, Kratos and Atreus are visited by a mysterious stranger – one who seems intent on picking a fight with the legendary God of War from a distant land. Baldur says he is sent by Odin to investigate the home and its residents, indicating that perhaps he, and the rest of the Norse Gods, are much more aware of Kratos’ past than even his own son. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277445860_57e8850ef4_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277445860_57e8850ef4_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">They clash, tearing through the earth and rock surrounding the home in a bloody brawl that reveals Baldur has lost the ability to feel anything – impervious to pain and pleasure alike. Though the battle is close, Kratos is able to harness his rage and finally beats Baldur into submission. While he has rid them of the immediate threat, Kratos realizes that his home, and his son, are no longer safe. They must make the journey now – whether Atreus is ready for it or not. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unexpected friends in unexpected places </h2>
<p class="">Thinking that they are looking for the highest peak in Midgard, Kratos and Atreus journey towards the tallest mountain in their realm. </p>
<p class="">Along the way they meet the Huldra Brothers, Brok and Sindri, who are renowned dwarven smiths. While the brothers are dealing with some familial tension, both Brok and Sindri provide their assistance and services after seeing that Kratos wields the Leviathan Axe, a weapon they had personally forged for their friend and Kratos’ late wife, Faye. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277231109_1aa12206bb_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277231109_1aa12206bb_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">They also encounter the mysterious Witch of the Woods, who offers them her aid including knowledge of how to use the Bifröst, a magical tool that allows father and son to traverse between the Nine Realms. The Witch is later revealed to be the Vanir goddess Freya, mother of Baldur and exiled wife of Odin. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mission accomplished! Or is it? (It’s not) </h2>
<p class="">As Kratos and Atreus are finally able to reach the peak with Freya’s guidance, they arrive to see Baldur already there, flanked by two hulking accomplices, Magni and Modi – the sons of Thor. They spy the Aesir gods interrogating a man who has been fused to a tree, though they quickly leave after receiving little from the evasive prisoner. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52278153052_27daa9f033_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52278153052_27daa9f033_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Mimir, once an ambassador and advisor to Odin, is the self-described Smarted Man Alive and currently being punished on suspicion of betraying the All-Father. </p>
<p class="">He reveals that while our heroes have made it to the highest peak in Midgard, they have not yet reached the highest peak in all the realms. Their true destination resides in Jötunheim and will, by all accounts, be rather hard to get to considering all entry has been blocked. </p>
<p class="">Mimir knows of another way, but first gives Kratos the pleasure of decapitating him and pleading his case to the Witch of the Woods to magically revive his severed head so he can be free of Odin’s prison.  </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52278153072_01562e5bdc_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52278153072_01562e5bdc_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Finally learning of Freya’s godhood, Kratos distrusts her as he distrusts all of their kind. After reviving Mimir, she advises Kratos to tell Atreus that he is part god, just like his father. Freya warns that denying his son’s true nature will only bring the boy pain. </p>
<p class="">Ignoring her advice – Kratos, Atreus, and the freshly revived Mimir set off to find the tools needed to open a passage to Jötunheim. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sons of Thor </h2>
<p class="">Along their journey, the trio are ambushed by the two men they saw accompanying Baldur, Magni and Modi. They battle Kratos and Atreus fiercely, though Kratos is able to strike a killing blow on Magni. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276963081_6fb27ebbba_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276963081_6fb27ebbba_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Modi flees, but later finds the pair again. By killing Kratos, he hopes to regain his honor and prove that he is worthy of Thor’s legacy. Modi subdues Kratos, but seeing his father in peril, Atreus instinctively triggers what appears to be his own Spartan Rage ability.</p>
<p class="">Not knowing his own godhood, Atreus is overwhelmed by the sudden surge and falls unconscious, his childhood illness seemingly returned and worse than ever. Kratos fends off Modi, who quickly departs knowing his life is in danger. Seeing that Atreus is barely alive, Kratos takes his son to Freya in the hopes her magic can help save his son.   </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The price of secrets </h2>
<p class="">Freya reveals that Atreus’ sickness is caused due to the conflict between his nature as a god and his ignorance of that fact. She believes she has a treatment that can wake him but requires the heart of a creature in Helheim, the realm of the dead.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279616305_be32a76a84_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279616305_be32a76a84_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Knowing the frost-attuned Leviathan Axe will be of little help to him in the frozen wastelands of Hel, Kratos returns to his home and retrieves a part of his past he had hoped to leave behind – the Blades of Chaos. </p>
<p class="">The Blades were once a tool of fiery bloodshed and a symbol of Kratos’ servitude to the Greek gods, many of which he killed in his life as the God of War. Knowing they are the key to saving his son, Kratos chooses to acknowledge his past for the sake of saving Atreus and equips the Blades of Chaos once again. </p>
<p class="">Kratos successfully retrieves the heart for Freya, allowing her to save his son. After he regains consciousness, Kratos reveals to Atreus their true nature as gods. </p>
<p class="">Despite Atreus’ illness fading with this secret now in the open, the boy grows increasingly arrogant. Modi finds the pair again, desperate to try and finish them off to regain a scrap of respect from Thor. Badly beaten by his father for failing to kill Kratos and letting his brother Magnai die, Modi proves to be little threat. Atreus stabs the weakened Modi in direct defiance of Kratos’ order, killing the god once and for all. </p>
<p class="">Seeing that Atreus’ newly revealed godhood has caused his son to become increasingly cruel and arrogant, Kratos knows he must teach his son to be better before it’s too late. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sins of the Mother </h2>
<p class="">Having gathered the tools to make a portal to Jötunheim, Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir return once again to the peak of Midgard to travel to the realm of the Giants. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279176163_14526becb9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279176163_14526becb9_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">As they arrive, they are ambushed by Baldur. Instead of following his father’s directions and jumping through the just-opened portal, Atreus, in his arrogance, tries to fight Baldur alone. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277446475_79c6996680_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52277446475_79c6996680_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Kratos intervenes, but during his clash with Baldur, the portal to Jötunheim is destroyed. Baldur incapacitates and captures Atreus when the boy tries to attack him single-handedly again and takes off towards the Lake of Nine. Kratos follows, their battle eventually leads to the Realm Travel Room, where Baldur attempts to take them to Asgard. At the last moment, Kratos diverts the Bifröst to another realm instead, Helheim. </p>

<p class="">In the realm of the dead, they are faced with specters of not just Kratos’ past, but Baldur’s as well. While father and son overcome the trials of this frozen realm, they discover the source of Baldur’s invulnerability was a spell cast by his mother.</p>
<p class="">At the time of his birth, Freya had learned that her son was fated to be killed. To prevent any harm coming to Baldur, she casts a spell to protect him from all magical and physical threats. Despite Freya’s mastery of the art, Vanir magic is notoriously slippery and hard to control. The spell had a single weakness she could not prevent, Baldur would not be impervious to mistletoe. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276963411_66e873bc2d_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276963411_66e873bc2d_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">As Baldur grew, the effects of the spell became clear. While the god was invulnerable to everything, it also rendered him completely numb – unable to feel pain, and all of life’s pleasures too. Even though he begged Freya to undo the spell, she would not for fear of the prophecy coming true and her son dying. Baldur grew to hate and resent his mother for denying him the ability to feel. </p>
<p class="">After Baldur’s relationship with Freya and the truth of his condition is revealed, Kratos and Atreus escape back to Midgard having reconciled and made amends to each other following the events of Modi’s death and Baldur’s attack. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Death of a god </h2>
<p class="">After the destruction of the portal to Jötunheim, Mimir shares one last solution: they can try to get to the realm of the Giants. Before they can attempt it, Kratos and Atreus are attacked again by Baldur who also escaped Helheim, but this time Freya intervenes. </p>
<p class="">Incensed by his mother’s arrival, Baldur seeks to kill not only Kratos and Atreus, but finally exact revenge on his mother for the spell placed on him at birth. </p>
<p class="">Having worked together over the entire journey across the realms, father and son now fight in unison. Together they push back Baldur, only to see Freya once again try to stop the fighting by subduing Kratos. As Baldur moves to strike a finishing blow, Atreus protects his father, placing himself between them which causes the Aesir god to punch the mistletoe arrowhead Atreus kept as a binding for his quiver. </p>
<p class="">With the arrowhead impaled through his hand, the spell finally breaks and Baldur, for the first time in his life, is finally able to feel everything – the pain of an injury, the cold snow below his feet, the sun on his face. </p>
<p class="">Reveling in the new sensations, Baldur recommences his attack with a mad vigor – relishing in all the feelings he had never been able to experience before. </p>
<p class="">They fight again, but through their shared strength, Kratos and Atreus are finally able to beat the newly vulnerable Baldur, who demands they kill him and end his life while he is still able to feel. Freya pleads with them to spare her only son, and Kratos relents – knowing all too well the pain a parent feels at losing a child. </p>
<p class="">As they turn to leave, Baldur uses his remaining strength to try and strangle Freya as payment for his years of numb torment. Freya accepts her death, hoping it will give her son some semblance of peace in his life to know she’s gone. </p>
<p class="">Kratos, seeing his own bloody mistakes about to be repeated by Baldur, steps in to save Freya’s life by killing her son. Unable to accept his death, Freya cradles the dead body of Baldur while swearing vengeance upon Kratos for taking away her only child, even if it meant that she would live. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The highest peak in all the realms</h2>
<p class="">Finally able to make the journey to Jötunheim with the help of Mimir’s Bifröst eyes, Kratos and Atreus reach a Giant temple – one that has their entire journey carved into the walls. The Giants had seen what would come to pass, as well as what had come before. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276983278_daad300fea_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52276983278_daad300fea_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">They discover that this was all left for them by Faye, who was a Giant herself – a secret she had kept from her husband and son. Atreus finally uncovers the full truth of his heritage, that he is not only part god and part mortal, he is part Giant as well. </p>
<p class="">Atreus had two names, one was given to him by his father and the other, his mother. The name Faye had bestowed upon him was Loki. </p>
<p class="">Together Kratos and Atreus scatter the ashes on the peak of Jötunheim, finally fulfilling their quest. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fimbulwinter has fallen </h2>
<p class="">As they return home to Midgard, Mimir warns them that the death of Baldur means that the first event said to mark the arrival of Ragnarök has come to pass.  </p>
<p class="">Kratos and Atreus now find themselves at the center of a prophecy that has foretold the complete upheaval of the Nine Realms and a battle so great it results in the deaths of many Aesir gods including Odin and Thor. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279153133_34dc35c3e1_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52279153133_34dc35c3e1_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Father and son will have to choose their path as the freezing winds and snows of Fimbulwinter envelop their home in Midgard.  </p>

<p class="">While keeping its narrative legacy intact, in Serial Cleaners we greatly expand on the ideas of the original game, Serial Cleaner. Instead of presenting the player with simple puzzle-like stages, we decided to present them with a set of tools and abilities to choose from – and improvise. Let your imagination run wild, and you will surely find your own way to cover those pesky crimes!</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="">Whether you want to sneak or sprint through the level, drag the evidence around, or cut it to pieces, we have you covered. The game becomes much more open-ended with a wide range of contextual interactions and more involved law enforcement. While the overall complexity increases, the heart of our original game – wiping the scene clean – is still there and feels better than ever.</p>

<p class="">Four different cleaners means four unique perspectives. While Bob relies on his good ol’ tricks of the trade, adjusted and enhanced with the new environment in mind, we bring to the game three new and distinct playstyles. There is Psycho’s brute force, Lati’s agility and awareness, and Vip3r’s cutting-edge tech skills. Each mission is tied to one of the cleaners and unfolds a piece of their turbulent story over the decade.</p>

<p class="">Choosing the ‘90s as our timeframe opened a door into a unique zeitgeist for us. The eccentric Basquiat-esque street art mixed with our fresh spin on cult crime thrillers, Tarantino classics, and B-movie action films allowed us to portray the ‘90s as the decade as it was back then – full of brightly colored optimism… and the grime underneath it all.</p>

<p class="">It’s only natural that all of this should come with a proper soundtrack. There is this crude ‘90s punk nonconformity, the sound of many genres that defined the end of the last century – from East Coast hip-hop, to industrial metal, and a sea of electronic music. From Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang Clan, through Orbital and Prodigy, finishing with Nine Inch Nails and Ministry. Each of the cleaners represents a part of that musical tapestry, which makes their respective music scores uniquely theirs.</p>

<p class="">Such an eclectic aesthetic required someone with a deep-tissue level of understanding of what made the sound of the 1990s what it was. That is why we teamed up with the amazing Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv, Nine Inch Nails, Puscifer, and others).</p>
<p class="">What made Joshua’s work really magical was his idea not just to riff on existing well-known tracks, but to try and recreate the ecosystem of musical styles rooted in the subcultures of the 1990s. Styles that were all related and influenced each other in exceptional ways, resulting in a varied, distinct, yet unmistakable aesthetic of the decade – one Josh was uniquely qualified to reproduce since, well, he lived it. </p>
<p class="">Serial Cleaners is a bizarre crime story with a cheeky twist on a wise-guy fantasy. When cleaning up after NYC wrongdoers, you get a glimpse of the sins ingrained in the city’s tissue. But what does it matter? You are a professional, one of the best of the trade. You’re here to solve problems. No matter the case, no matter the cost.</p>
<p class="">Isn’t that right?</p>
<p class="">Serial Cleaners launches on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on September 22.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Join classic heroes, new allies</h2>
<p class="">Task Force 141 faces its greatest threat yet — a newly aligned menace with deep connections. The Campaign features missions in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and is set to be an incredible experience on numerous levels: offshore sieges with underwater combat, all-out explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes, low-profile stealth missions in both plain sight and under the cover of darkness. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288688901_16ebf36473_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288688901_16ebf36473_h.jpg"/></a></p> 



<p class="">We’re excited to let PlayStation players know more on how Infinity Ward is approaching the Campaign for this year’s release.</p>
<p class="">Game development is no easy task. Studio cross-collaboration is the central element in keeping the game development process on track. Having a well-rounded team is crucial to creating a AAA title, especially for the Modern Warfare franchise. Infinity Ward leverages the bevy of experience the team has from past games, film, and TV production to ensure that this title can be the best game it can be for the player base.</p>
<p class="">For Modern Warfare II, Infinity Ward will dive players in a state-of-the-art experience that will immerse players in a stunning, action-packed game a reality everyone can enjoy.</p>
<p class="">With improved graphics built via photogrammetry technology, the <em>Modern Warfare II</em> campaign offers an impressive visual fidelity and will be covering some of the smallest of details, like the water’s physics and graphics, to create the most immersive experience yet.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288695498_17a0198a2b_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288695498_17a0198a2b_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class="">Additionally, thanks to the improved shadows systems, the Campaign will offer improved lighting to create an even more realistic ambient that will help players fully submerge themselves in the single player mode coming to Modern Warfare II.</p>
<p class="">In addition to improvements you can see, Infinity Ward has gone above and beyond in upgrades you can hear. Thanks to new engine improvements, this opened new possibilities for better sound capture and new features including real-time mixing and natural limiting to help players focus on the task at hand, dive into the narrative and draw players throughout the missions.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52289179480_2c5778aec6_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52289179480_2c5778aec6_h.jpg"/></a></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Join classic heroes, new allies</h2>
<p class="">Task Force 141 faces its greatest threat yet — a newly aligned menace with deep connections. The Campaign features missions in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and is set to be an incredible experience on numerous levels: offshore sieges with underwater combat, all-out explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes, low-profile stealth missions in both plain sight and under the cover of darkness. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288688901_16ebf36473_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288688901_16ebf36473_h.jpg"/></a></p> 



<p class="">We’re excited to let PlayStation players know more on how Infinity Ward is approaching the Campaign for this year’s release.</p>
<p class="">Game development is no easy task. Studio cross-collaboration is the central element in keeping the game development process on track. Having a well-rounded team is crucial to creating a AAA title, especially for the Modern Warfare franchise. Infinity Ward leverages the bevy of experience the team has from past games, film, and TV production to ensure that this title can be the best game it can be for the player base.</p>
<p class="">For Modern Warfare II, Infinity Ward will dive players in a state-of-the-art experience that will immerse players in a stunning, action-packed game a reality everyone can enjoy.</p>
<p class="">With improved graphics built via photogrammetry technology, the <em>Modern Warfare II</em> campaign offers an impressive visual fidelity and will be covering some of the smallest of details, like the water’s physics and graphics, to create the most immersive experience yet.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288695498_17a0198a2b_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288695498_17a0198a2b_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class="">Additionally, thanks to the improved shadows systems, the Campaign will offer improved lighting to create an even more realistic ambient that will help players fully submerge themselves in the single player mode coming to Modern Warfare II.</p>
<p class="">In addition to improvements you can see, Infinity Ward has gone above and beyond in upgrades you can hear. Thanks to new engine improvements, this opened new possibilities for better sound capture and new features including real-time mixing and natural limiting to help players focus on the task at hand, dive into the narrative and draw players throughout the missions.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52289179480_2c5778aec6_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52289179480_2c5778aec6_h.jpg"/></a></p>

<p class="">It’s long been used as a vehicle for representation, from Star Trek exploring new frontiers of romance, to Octavia Butler positioning a Black woman at the forefront of humanity’s escape to space in Parable of the Sower, to dystopian YA like The Hunger Games tapping into every young woman’s desire to change the world by burning it down.</p>
<p class="">I’m Lindsay Ishihiro, and as the narrative designer of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, I’d like to tell you about the ways our game follows in this tradition, breaking new ground in how players represent themselves and their gender, sexuality, and relationships in a video game.</p>
<p class="">I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is a genre-spanning game about growing up on an extrasolar colony: part life simulator, deck builder, roleplaying game, and dating simulator. You play Sol, a child whose parents – unhappy with their life on a dying Earth – flung themselves into space intending to create a new human culture from the ground up on the planet Vertumna IV.</p>

<p class="">Given absolute freedom, what do a group of idealists preserve from human cultures, and what do they reject? And what do they accidentally bring with them, despite their best intentions?</p>
<p class="">Exocolonist’s simple character creation system hits far above its weight class. There are only two questions: what are Sol’s pronouns, and will they grow to appear masculine, androgynous, or feminine?</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288803395_c2eef9a0d9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288803395_c2eef9a0d9_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Even the UI to select Sol’s appearance is a slider instead of three buttons, giving the player a chance to say their Sol is ‘just a little’ masculine or feminine.</em></p>
<p class="">They/them is included in the standard pronoun selection, but players who prefer a more bespoke experience can teach it to use their correct pronouns and other gendered terms. In space, anyone can be fae/faeself.</p>
<p class="">You can even change their pronouns and appearance at any time, no gender-changing items or cursed springs required.</p>
<p class="">Sol’s anatomy is set later, during puberty – but there’s even an option for Sol having no reproductive anatomy at all, thanks to futuristic medical technology. Anatomy being separate from appearance and pronouns allows for a huge spectrum of possible genders, encompassing cis bodies, binary and non-binary trans bodies, and gender-nonconforming bodies of many kinds.</p>
<a href="//live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288583859_19861e9e60_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52288583859_19861e9e60_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Even teenage exocolonists have to sit through cringe-inducing lectures in school. Sorry, space teens!</em></p>
<p class="">Sol wasn’t the only child born in space; nine other children grow up alongside Sol, all of whom (plus one more) are potential friendships and love interests.</p>
<p class="">Let’s get what I consider the bare minimums out of the way: I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is proud to feature transgender and nonbinary characters and includes same-sex, asexual, aromantic, and even polyamorous relationships.</p>
<p class="">With a diverse team, we knew that in order to tell a story about the richness of the human experience we needed to be radically inclusive in our characters and the way they interact with the player and each other.</p>

</div>
<p class="">And they do interact with each other! Sol’s friends fall in love, hurt each other, undergo their own tragedies, and even die. Sol is a part of their stories; you choose how important a part you play.</p>
<p class="">Sol becomes closer to their friends by giving them gifts and saying the right things, of course, but also by being the kind of person they’d want to be friends with. Working alongside them, sharing their political opinions, and getting involved in their stories will bring them closer, just like in real life.</p>

<p class="">Also like in real life, friendships can blossom into something different.</p>
<p class="">I Was A Teenage Exocolonist has unique triggers for all relationships. Yes, some still need ten hearts before they’ll give you a kiss, but others are happy to make the space beast with two (and sometimes three) backs while you’re still getting to know each other. Some characters need you to step up at a critical time in their life to feel comfortable opening up to you. Some need to finish their life’s work first. Some naturally prefer to date other people, so getting them interested in Sol requires extra effort.</p>
<p class="">Thanks to the weirdness of the wormhole, Sol will relive their teenage years over and over, learning from their mistakes and helping humanity find its place in the stars. You’ll be many Sols, over many lifetimes.</p>
<p class="">Accurately representing the player in I Was A Teenage Exocolonist is integral to the experience of being Sol, giving them the sense that their unique self is important to humanity as a whole. </p>
<p class="">It was vital to telling a story about finding oneself, literally, at the very forefront of humanity’s most collective action. </p>
<p class="">I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is coming out on PS4 and PS5 on August 25, 2022. <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10005431">Wishlist it today</a>! </p>

<p class="">Hi everyone! Kevin Choteau here, Game Director at Asobo and very excited about everything we’ve been working on to bring you A Plague Tale: Requiem! The game releases on October 18 on PlayStation 5, three years after its prequel, Innocence. So time has passed, and so has it for our two heroes, Amicia and Hugo, who we’ll meet in Requiem six months after we said goodbye to them in Innocence. They’re both children, subject to constant evolution, so you can expect them to have changed! And that’ll impact how you play with them… Let’s look a bit into it right now.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The End of Innocence</h2>
<p class="">Hugo and Amicia have had to evolve a great deal, and to evolve fast to face the trials that life puts in front of them. They’re confronted with the extreme cruelty of their time, and experience atrocities and events that are far bigger than them. So their personalities and their abilities evolve in the process. Amicia learns to fight and to kill, and Hugo learns to use his power. And that does not strictly involve physical skills, it also means to deal with the morality of their actions and the trauma such amount of violence may cause. </p>
<p class="">Following the events of Innocence, Amicia’s more hardened in combat. This is made clear by looking at her new set of weapons, which not only includes an improved version of the sling she was using in Innocence, but also a crossbow—a weapon of war.</p>
<p class="">Hugo was really just a spectator at the start of Innocence, discovering the world and marvelling at everything. But he becomes active as he becomes aware of the danger: he has an extraordinary power that he started using at the end of Innocence, and he continues down that path in Requiem.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281754164_8176306a53_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281754164_8176306a53_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">So our two heroes have matured, and they are prepared for action. But it’s a lot to ask two children, and assuming these roles means developing a sense of darkness. That will be part of how they can use their abilities: weighing their actions and how much darkness they let in will be key to making it through.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amicia’s Abilities </h2>
<p class="">Learning to control herself will be one of Amicia’s main challenges. Her trauma resurfaces and she has to deal with how far she can go to protect her brother. Her struggle to learn and accept to use force and to kill can lead her to develop a taste for it. Requiem constantly puts her in the position to question the limits of survival and protection instincts. She’s moved past hesitation, but the risk for her to sink completely into violence is real.</p>
<p class="">This internal conflict comes in a context where threats get wilder. In Innocence, the opponents were the Inquisition and English soldiers, quite organised. In Requiem, Amicia and Hugo will face mercenaries and smugglers, more violent and unpredictable. Our team has put a lot of effort into designing their intelligence and reactions to each situation. Their potential of adaptation to Amicia’s moves will truly challenge players!</p>
<p class="">Amicia will need to control this risk of escalation, and that will be made possible by the agency given to players in approaching situations and solving them. The array of tools she can use will broaden, with new alchemical recipes, her improved sling and a crossbow. But more importantly, a whole new spatial dynamic will be introduced.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281753334_7ff35eb7df_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281753334_7ff35eb7df_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Amicia is going to rely heavily on environment-specific resources and make it her strongest asset. She’s going to develop guerrilla approaches to surprise and harass their opponents, using what is available in the environment to her advantage, from tarpots to slow enemies down to ignitable tall grass. In terms of gameplay, this translates into much more open encounters than what we had in Innocence, fitting the much bigger environments introduced in this new chapter. That means danger can be approached in more than a single way, in a context where there is plenty to explore. You can make up your own mix of alchemy, stealth and action—using a knife in hand-to-to hand combat if it has to come to it! Not only does this allow to avoid escalation if done well, but it allows for the evolution of Amicia and Hugo, from a more vulnerable survival attitude to increasing confidence in facing enemies.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hugo’s Abilities </h2>
<p class="">Hugo’s supernatural power perfectly represents the duality between their children’s souls and the enormous stakes he and his sister become responsible for. There is a vertiginous dimension brought forth by the rats which is an essential aspect of the game: there’s this gigantic, unstoppable force, it’s scary but it has to be fought to survive.</p>
<p class="">The risk of Hugo losing control while fighting it makes it all the more intimidating. We got to witness it in Innocence, and it becomes an important threat in Requiem. He could destroy a whole city…! We are reaching a scale of threat and awe that wasn’t possible at the time of Innocence.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52280507172_c3a8d3e5fb_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52280507172_c3a8d3e5fb_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Psychologically too, there’s an important impact to resorting to his powers: Hugo gets to share the perception and the feelings of the rats… Every time he does, it damages him a bit more. That impacts the player’s experience as well and teaches them to be cautious. At the same time, there is a certain vicious pleasure in unleashing this power… but consequences follow and a price is to be paid! It’s a story of moral dilemmas, with the progression of the Macula and the lives of people Hugo holds dear at stake.</p>
<p class="">I hope you’re as excited as me to play Amicia and Hugo’s next chapter! Our team has still so much to share with you in the lead-up to the release, so stay tuned for more! A Plague Tale: Requiem releases on October 18 on PlayStation 5. You can <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10002255">pre-order</a> it now to get exclusive bonuses.</p>

<p class="">After tackling the run ‘n’ gun genre with our previous game Blazing Chrome (inspired by timeless classics like Contra), I wanted with Vengeful Guardian Moonrider to keep the retro goodness of ‘90s action-platformers while updating the experience in fun new ways.</p>
<p class="">For that, I dug deep into the territory of 16-bit games and even some early CD games, and tried to craft an authentic experience, just as if you just found in your basement an unreleased MegaDrive/Genesis game. For that, I for example used redbook style audio and even recorded speech in order to give Vengeful Guardian Moonrider an authentic feel of this era.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281566696_2889d1a317_k.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52281566696_2889d1a317_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">But games were not our only inspiration for Vengeful Guardian Moonrider and I also tried to mix many different cultural influences I had during my childhood, playing amazing Japanese action games, watching dark anime and reading speculative and questionable pulp science-fiction novels. Genocyber, Cybernetic Guardians, Kamen Rider Black, and Hakaider were all rewatched to help chisel the type of universe in which Vengeful Guardian Moonrider takes place. Rewatching all those amazing shows was of course very serious work and not at all an excuse to spend some great quality time, hehe… </p>
<p class="">All the character designs in Vengeful Guardian Moonrider, and general art direction of the game, were heavily inspired by Japanese artist Keita Amemiya, the designer behind lots of video games, anime, and tokusatsu from that era. I also took a lot of inspiration from H.R. Giger, the artist behind the otherworldly visuals of the Alien series.</p>
<p class="">Most of the enemies have lots of biomechanical parts and have a very creepy feeling to them. The boss rooms’ backgrounds also have their share of body horror and organic elements, giving another good layer of that creepy feeling I was looking for while keeping a very cool look to them! I was also very much influenced by yokais (japanese demons) and their depiction in traditional Japanese art.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52280587132_c751fa42ac_k.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52280587132_c751fa42ac_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">As you must have guessed by now, references are very important to me and a great source of inspiration, and I think they were mandatory to get me to the proper mindset for creating a horrific sci-fi atmosphere you would like to explore. Everything in Vengeful Guardian Moonrider is harsh, dark, and moody, but not without reason. The story is also a dark tale about an alternate reality where an oppressive state uses its weapons – the guardians – to subdue other nations and its own people. Moonrider is a guardian that, after an incident, decides to fight for its people and destroy the evil regime.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52282048370_0a2b2aea1b_k.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52282048370_0a2b2aea1b_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">We know that there are lots of action-adventure indie games around, however, we’re trying really hard to create something special, something that replicates the feeling of the action-adventure games of the 90s while bringing a new edge to it. The atmosphere is of course a great tool for that, but the gameplay is also fundamental. </p>
<p class="">Vengeful Guardian Moonrider is an old-school action platformer, but we tried to make a mix of fast arcade style with a little bit of item hunting and exploration with the Chip System, giving you new abilities and powers during your playthrough. For instance, there are power chips that can grant you double jump, weapon range extension, HP regeneration, and lots of other useful abilities, allowing you to really choose and to play the way you want to.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52282048410_fbbc62a89e_k.jpg"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52282048410_fbbc62a89e_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">And that wraps it up for this blog post! I hope you’re as excited as us about Vengeful Guardian Moonrider and hope you will enjoy it as much as we’re enjoying making it. Stay tuned for more retro love and keep an eye out for Vengeful Guardian Moonrider, coming to PlayStation.</p>

<p class="">Them’s Fightin’ Herds is a four-button fighter with<strong> Light, Medium</strong>, and <strong>Heavy </strong>attack buttons plus a <strong>Magic </strong>button to access a character’s unique abilities. Multiple attacks in sequence form <strong>combos</strong>, which are typically done by going from <strong>Light </strong>to <strong>Heavy </strong>then from <strong>Ground </strong>to <strong>Air</strong>. </p>
<p class=""><strong>Special Moves </strong>are executed by performing an attack after a complex directional motion, like in traditional fighting games. Similarly, <strong>Super Meter</strong> builds during a fight, which can be spent to perform powerful <strong>Super Attacks</strong>.</p>
<p class="">Chain together normal attacks, extend your combos with special moves, and finish off your opponent with highly damaging Super Attacks to win the round!</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">The time has finally come, Cursed to Golf is out TODAY on PS5 and PS4. It’s been 2 years of hard work and passion to get here. The team and I are immensely proud of our game, and we hope you all take our virtual trip to the afterlife to live out your days in Golf Purgatory. <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2022/07/07/cursed-to-golf-tees-off-on-august-18-for-ps5-and-ps4/">Last time I was here</a> I spoke about the general rules of supernatural golf, the incredible power of the Ace Cards and some of the shenanigans you can get down to in between holes. Today, let’s get down and dirty with some of the more perilous elements of Cursed to Golf. After all, if you want to make it out of Golf Purgatory, it pays to take some risks.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193386_a4b6f8f4e3_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="A split screen of three different bosses that lie at each biome’s end: The Scotsman, The Explorer, The Forgotten.The four slot has a question mark." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193386_a4b6f8f4e3_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who’s the Boss?</strong></h2>
<p class="">At the end of each biome lies its ultimate challenge – the Legendary Caddie that oversees that part of the course. In Purgatory you’ll find The Scotsman, in the Desert you’ll face The Explorer, and the Caves are home to The Forgotten. These golf battles mix up the gameplay slightly and offer up a few differences to the traditional purgatorial golf gameplay you’ll encounter on the rest of the course. Not only do you have to keep tabs on your shot counter, but you also need to beat the boss by sinking your ball before them. However, in addition to Shot Idols that replenish your shot count, these battles include Stun Idols. Smashing through one of these will knock the boss down, making them miss a turn.</p>
<p class="">These golfers don’t play around, hitting incredible shots that defy the laws of physics! If you want to take down a Legendary Caddie, you’ll need to master your Ace Cards, make use of the best shortcuts, and ensure to smash through a load of totems on your way to the flagpole. Luckily, the boss hole will always stay the same, so you can learn it as you play and experiment to find the best strategy to complete it.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52293209427_eb4f2fcc4f_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="Our golf hero faces off against The Scotsman." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52293209427_eb4f2fcc4f_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The High Road or the Low Road?</strong></h2>
<p class="">The Scotsman’s hole is designed for his characteristic long drives. It’s also peppered with both hazards and shortcuts both up high and down low, so don’t forget to use your Birdie Eye to get a true lay of the land and plan which road you want to take. Beating The Scotsman will unlock the “Comeback” boon, giving you the chance to place a checkpoint flag once per run. Upon your (almost certain) death, instead of being booted back to the beginning of the course, you’ll be transported back to your flag. Not only that, but you’ll have all the Ace Cards and cash you had when you placed it originally, ready for another swing at the course!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294454504_c9f77cc2c3_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="A top down world map, illustrating the use of the Comeback boon once unlocked." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294454504_c9f77cc2c3_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Dune Sea</strong></h2>
<p class="">The Explorer’s hole is a sand dune filled nightmare, expect to be perfecting your wedge game over there, because you’ll be landing in the bunker constantly. On top of that, The Explorer has a special ability – she can alter the hole right in the middle of it being played. You may land on a suspiciously flat and safe area, only to find a towering dune erupt out of the ground before you, sheesh! Beating The Explorer will net you the “Gimmie” boon, giving you 5 extra shots in a pinch when your shot count reaches 0. This powerful boon refreshes every hole, so don’t feel precious about it.</p>
<a href="//live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193568_a6d74a33b8_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="The Explorer boss stops our golfing hero in their tracks and utters a challenge: “So do you think you are ready to take me on?”" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193568_a6d74a33b8_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Not the Cave of Wonders</strong></h2>
<p class="">The Forgotten’s Hole is a deep, cavernous maze full of diverging paths, deviously placed hazards, and tricksy false flagpoles that house golf ball eating dinosaurs. You’ll not only be contending with The Forgotten, but also her two pet birds Eagle and Albatross. These feathery blighters will stop at nothing to ensure The Forgotten beats you. If you land in one of their zones, they’ll whisk your ball away into a hazard, losing you shots and putting you in tough spots for your next swing.</p>
<p class="">They’ll also grab The Forgotten’s ball and fly her past tough obstacles, dropping her in opportunistic positions for her next shot. There’s no way of sugarcoating it, this is one tough battle, but should you prevail, you will unlock the “Recovery” boon. With Recovery, upon death you’ll be able to keep your Ace Card deck and use it on your next run, giving you one big leg up straight from the beginning of Hole 1. Because we’re not complete masochists, once a boss is defeated, you don’t need to face them again on future runs and you get to keep their boons, too.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193261_19d379e600_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193261_19d379e600_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A blessing or a curse?</strong></h2>
<p class="">Speaking of masochists, those of you who really want to risk it for the biscuit can take on CURSED HOLES! You’ll often find these at crossroads when you’re navigating the map in between holes. One route may have a pick-up and a standard hole, while the other will offer you extra goodies and a skull covered hole at the end of it. These cursed holes mix things up by triggering random modifiers every few shots. These ‘curses’ could include making your ball extra bouncy for a couple shots, restricting you to only be able to shoot in one direction, flipping the course upside down, and other pesky hindrances to your game. Beating a cursed hole will earn you extra cash and a card booster pack. In Golf Purgatory the saying is true – with high risk comes high reward.</p>

On screen a “Cursed” pop up offers up a warning of the random modifiers to come." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52294193221_89703b7a33_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>See you in Hell</strong></h2>
<p class="">A course chock full of randomized dungeon-like holes, sneaky death traps, challenging bosses, and wicked curses; jeez does Golf Purgatory ever throw a lot at you. Well, if you make it past all of that to the 16th hole, you’ll be in HELL. Prepare for the ultimate challenge here. I won’t spoil what awaits you in Hell, but let’s just say it lives up to its namesake. Prepare to use all your golfing skills, Ace Card abilities and boons to survive Golf Purgatory’s last bastion before ascension. No golfer has ever managed to make it past here before, will you be the first? Only one way to find out, pick up Cursed to Golf on PS5 or PS4 today!</p>

<p class="">Fallout 76 players are about to venture into new territory. This September, the Expeditions update whisks players to a perilous location outside the wild reaches of Appalachia: The Pitt!</p>
<p class="">Built on what’s left of Pre-War Pittsburgh, The Pitt is a rough place. The local Union faction is beset on all sides as bloodthirsty Raiders and once-human Trog beasts close in, so grab your friends, pack your best gear and steel yourself…it’s time to go on an Expedition.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gear up and head out</h2>
<p class="">“Expedition missions are randomized and repeatable story-based missions on the scale of our most epic end-of-line quests, such as the Vault 79 raid at the end of Wastelanders,” explains Steve Massey, Lead Designer on Fallout 76’s Expeditions. “We developed a new Quest Module system which allows us to easily randomize and retheme quest objectives in order to make each mission playthrough feel truly unique and blend seamlessly into the overarching mission story.”</p>
<p class="">Players can tackle missions either solo or in a group with up to four people – either with friends or by using the new Expedition Public Teams feature included in the update. Players can earn a unique item plan once per week upon completing an Expedition, as well as collect Stamps in order to claim specific items from the reward pool. Players can also earn repeatable rewards including legendary items, Scrip, Treasury Notes and even an all-new method for gaining Legendary Modules.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Return to the Pitt</h2>
<p class="">Of course, there’s more to Expeditions than precious loot. Expeditions lets Fallout fans visit The Pitt for the first time since 2009’s add-on DLC for Fallout 3. With Fallout 76 set prior to the events of Fallout 3, Expeditions offer both exciting replayable missions, but also give players a chance to truly explore Pittsburgh in a fascinating era of Fallout lore, seeing the city in a new light…and previewing its coming darkness.</p>
<p class="">“The team felt passionate about allowing players to explore other parts of the Fallout universe outside of Appalachia in this unique time period, only a few decades after the Great War,” Massey continues. “The Pitt was an obvious choice for the first city to visit, because in Fallout 3 it was such a bleak and unforgiving landscape that you ask yourself, ‘How did things get to be so bad?’.” In the future, the format of Expeditions also gives us the opportunity to take players to brand-new locales in the Fallout universe that no existing game has touched upon before.”</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Go alone or with a team – just be ready</h2>
<p class="">While any player can sign up for an Expedition solo or as a group, be warned: It can get dangerous out there. It’s suggested that you first reach Level 50 or higher for the best experience stepping into The Pitt, with greater challenges awaiting solo Expeditionaries than those bringing along a few friends.</p>
<p class="">“Much like other high-level story-based quests in the game, Expedition missions have combat tuned to be satisfying – but not overly punishing,” Massey says. “Players should come well-equipped, but all enemies drop relevant ammo and Stimpaks to help keep them going in the field.” Want to play with someone at a different level? Nothing to worry: Like other content in the game, enemies during Expeditions scale based on player level. “A low-level player can accompany a high-level friend on a mission and both will experience an appropriate level of difficulty,” assures Massey.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New player enhancements</h2>
<p class="">Speaking of newer players, the Expedition update also includes other enhancements to the game such as adjusted starting gear and other additions benefiting fresh-faced Vault Dwellers just stepping out into Appalachia.</p>
<p class="">“The Whitespring Resort has been completely revamped into a player hub called Whitespring Refuge,” says Massey. “Players will participate in Refuge Daily Quests, experience a brand-new random encounter system and repair/purchase/craft almost anything in the game that they want in the lower Whitespring Mall area. Additionally, the update comes with a ton of frequently requested quality-of-life changes, including the ability to fast-travel directly into the interiors of frequently visited locations like The Whitespring and The Rusty Pick without spending any Caps.”</p>
<p class="">That’s the scoop on Expeditions – now it’s time to train up. Jump into Fallout 76 and explore, build and commune with players in your very own slice of post-nuclear West Virginia today! The Expedition update arrives free for Fallout 76 players this September, playable on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 systems. Until then, we’ll see you inside (and soon, outside) Appalachia!</p>

<p class="">Hey, I’m Goldie, the art director for Wayward Strand, coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on September 15 (that’s so soon!!)</p>
<p class="">For the first time in the six years since Ghost Pattern was formed, me and the team are sharing a deep dive into the making of our real-time, simultaneously told story, Wayward Strand, starring Casey, a 14-year-old aspiring journalist, as she follows her curiosity wherever it takes her.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256678_3d1af8fba4_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256678_3d1af8fba4_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Early artwork of how the ship might be loaded up with supplies, by me! Goldie Bartlett</em></p>
<p class="">From the start, the game was heavily inspired by immersive theater, slice-of-life comics, and graphic novels. Something I love about this format is that there’s a lot of space and area to tuck moments in amongst the larger plot points and knots of storylines.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cast away! Creating our characters</h2>
<p class="">Our team created Wayward Strand’s characters based on personal experiences and stories from people in our lives, particularly older people. We wanted our characters to be active within the story, as opposed to waiting around for the player to come by before they do anything. Georgia Symons, one of Wayward Strand’s writers, remembers that “the goal was to give each character the potential to ‘move the story forward’, through whatever actions they take.”</p>
<p class="">In early demos we were excited by how simultaneous storylines give the player the opportunity to happen upon scenes or storylines in mid-flow. It helps the player both understand and feel that there is a world of activity going on outside of their character.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256456_dda77540ff_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256456_dda77540ff_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Ghost Pattern’s earliest mock-up of the Day 1 schedule in 2016/2017. Each row, a different character and each column a time of day.</em></p>
<p class="">Wayward Strand’s other writer, Jason Bakker, feels like telling many storylines at the same time means we can really round out our characters. “It allows each character to have quiet moments, time to themselves. Each character can be the centre of attention for a bit, then the player can follow them as they return to their rooms, and be with them as they process what just happened.”</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52291277422_cc1d01466a_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52291277422_cc1d01466a_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Screenshot of the current build, at the front of the ship overlooking the coast.</em></p>
<p class="">We’ve challenged ourselves to make every character as interesting as possible over the course of three in-game days, and that’s a part of making Wayward Strand I’ve absolutely loved. Often I’d have a conversation with someone — my mum or an aunty or a friend — they’d tell me some story about someone they once knew and I’d think, “that is SUCH an Esther thing to do” or ‘that’s exactly how Joe (one of the nurses) must be feeling about Dr. Bouchard’. Over the past six years, little nuances that relate to people we know have been added to the characters piece by piece.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">By the sea-nery</h2>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292520254_496b46d661_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292520254_496b46d661_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>An early rendering of Casey visiting Ida using 3D modeling.</em></p>
<p class="">We’ve gone through many generations of the visuals for our living world. Our first plans were to explore fully-3D spaces in an over-the-shoulder format, within a single-story hospital; when you went into a scene, the camera would cut around as each character spoke. In that demo, we weren’t seeing the larger backdrop of the busyness of the hospital, or even the beautiful sea/skies outside, and decided to go in a fundamentally different direction.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292520604_6863d7640f_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292520604_6863d7640f_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>A scrapped layout of the ship, where the rooms were laid out widthwise.</em></p>
<p class="">Maize Wallin, our audio director, says the change to a side-on view is one of the key experiential differences. “This side-on doll’s house view makes it much clearer to the player that there’s constantly things happening around them.” We built our next demo in a side-on style, where the camera looked “down the barrel” of the ship, and rooms were laid out widthwise. Only after working with Su-Yiin Lai, an architectural consultant, did we discover that lengthwise was the best way to achieve the comic-book style we were hoping for – this was the final rebuild, and what you’ll see in game.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256381_db1635145f_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256381_db1635145f_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>An early design of the lengthwise hospital airship.</em></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>How the ship looks today!</em></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hear, there, everywhere</h2>
<p class="">One thing we’ve been confident in since the very early days is that the game should be fully voiced; as well as wanting the game to benefit from actors’ performances, like theater, we needed the player to be able to hear all the conversations going on around you as you play. We did two rounds of ‘practice’ voice-over recording sessions in 2016 and 2018, which taught us that the voice-over production for the full-game would be a massive undertaking.</p>
<p class="">And it was – over the course of six weeks we spent 30 days with our actors, across four studios around the world. Maize, the technical audio director for the VO sessions, says we’ve recorded over 18,000 lines of dialogue; the equivalent of about eighteen feature-length movies. It took cohesive narrative direction, programming, technical audio, and audio engineering and voiceover audio specialists to make it all possible.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256321_97c0d8089d_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52292256321_97c0d8089d_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Casey is heard making many hellos!</em></p>
<p class="">As we’ve gotten close to release, we’ve been watching people play the game and realised although many things have changed along the journey, our core goals never wavered. When you play Wayward Strand, you’re spending time in a living world surrounded by interesting, complex characters and their evolving stories, inspired by personal experience and real history.</p>
<p class="">We’re so excited for you to experience it yourself on September 15, on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4!</p>

<p class="">Charmstones are another big addition coming in our September 27 update. Individually equipable – these unique collectibles each provide different adjustments to Kena’s stats and abilities. Some Charmstones contain a benefit and a drawback, encouraging players to strategize about how they want to take on certain enemies and challenges. Rare Cursed Charmstones are aimed at players who want a serious challenge by attacking the game with reduced abilities. Players will find most Charmstones hidden around Kena’s world, with a few connected to another big addition: Spirit Guide Trials.</p>

<p class="">In a whole new game mode accessed from the Mask Shrine, the Spirit Guide Trials will challenge players’ skills. By building a variety of replayable challenges, we wanted to encourage all players to test out different combinations of their upgrades and deepen their combat experience. The Spirit Guide Trials fall into three different categories: Obstacle Courses, Wave Defenses, and Boss Reflects. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<p class="">Each Trial can be played as many times as players want and include various objectives to complete within that particular Trial. In the Obstacle Courses for example, players focus on Kena’s primary abilities: the Bow, Bomb, and Dash as they navigate through courses designed to test their accuracy, timing, and platforming. </p>
<p class="">Wave Defenses pit players against multiple rounds of increasingly difficult enemies. They must think strategically while pacing themselves through multiple waves of unique scenarios with limited chances to heal. We’ve prepared some pretty exciting and hair-raising enemy combinations here, so be prepared.</p>
<p class="">Finally, Boss Reflects allow players to revisit their favorite boss fights and perfect their tactics. While we love the excitement of all of our smaller combat encounters, we’re particularly fond of a good bossfight. We wanted to make sure players had the opportunity to retry these exciting events to their hearts’ content within one playthrough, experiment with new approaches, and become true masters.</p>
<p class="">What about the rewards? By completing Trials, players have the opportunity to unlock Outfits for Kena, each one inspired by one of the characters she meets along her journey. Succeeding at bonus objectives within each trial can unlock color variations of each outfit, as well as some unique Charmstones. </p>

</div></figure>
<p class="">There’s even an exclusive outfit for Deluxe Edition owners.</p>
<p class="">We hope players enjoy replaying or continuing their playthrough of Kena: Bridge of Spirits with these constant reminders of the special characters Kena helps along her journey as a Spirit Guide. (Plus, we also just think they look pretty cool). Even as we’ve been testing them, every time we play with a different outfit, we’re reminded of helping Beni and Saiya find their brother for the first time, or learning how to channel the bow from Rusu.</p>
<p class="">We can’t wait to share all of these additions with the Anniversary Update on September 27.</p>

<p class="">Think you’ve got what it takes to be a Team Principal of an F1 team? As we draw closer to launch day, we thought we’d share a few more details about F1 Manager 2022 with PlayStation players as we’re very excited to be bringing an officially licensed F1 management game to console for the first time.</p>
<p class="">From August 25, you’ll be able to sit on your sofa or armchair of choice and drive every decision for your chosen team. Pick one of the 10 current teams in F1 and manage all the action both off and on the track with authentic broadcast-style presentation and unrivaled depth and detail.</p>

<p class="">We’ve worked closely with F1 to ensure that every aspect of the game authentically showcases its fast-paced, exhilarating world, and the team at Frontier has been hard at work to make sure that console players have a smooth and immersive experience. F1 Manager 2022 offers the same gameplay experience across every platform, and on console the controls have been designed from the ground up to create seamless navigation between menus and racing action.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It’s race week</h2>

<p class="">Coming into the historic Belgian Grand Prix at the beautiful Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, you’ll certainly need your wits about you.</p>
<p class="">Before the race weekend starts, you’ll need to ensure any parts you’re developing for this race are finalised and fitted, ready to test your new set-up at the track. Be sure to make the most of the data available back at your HQ, including circuit data that will provide details about the track, timing data from previous races, safety car likelihood and potential weather forecast.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<p class="">Let’s touch on weather, shall we? For those of you that know Spa and those that don’t, rain is always a threat. How you, as Team Principal, prepare your drivers for this possibility will make or break your race weekend.</p>
<p class="">Your Weather Centre back at the factory will provide a weather forecast for the weekend, based on real-life, historic data. As you go into the race weekend itself, each day you’ll be greeted with a predicted forecast for the entire session, based on the accuracy of your Weather Centre. You’ll need to upgrade this facility if you want more accurate forecasts!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time for tyres</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://gfycat.com/flatimpartialaplomadofalcon
</div></figure>
<p class="">Knowing if/when it’s going to rain is only part of the challenge, however. We’ve made sure to simulate the real-life challenges that teams face when the weather changes, this includes how rain affects the circuit. F1 car tyres tend to shed a small amount of their rubber onto the track as they complete laps, which in turn provides more grip as that rubber beds into the circuit surface. If it were to rain halfway through a session, the rain will eventually start to wash this rubber away, causing a loss of grip.</p>
<p class="">As well as the regular soft, medium, and hard tyre compounds used in normal conditions, your team also has an allocation of intermediate and full wet tyre compounds. For wet and very wet conditions respectively. It’s on you to make the call as to when these tyres are used. Will you gamble that Intermediates will suffice, and hope the rain fades? Or commit to full wet tyres and hope it’s the right move?</p>

https://gfycat.com/grippingslimyanophelesmosquito
</div></figure>
<p class="">Often, in F1 it’s the tyre strategy that can alter the course of a race and it’s no different in F1 Manager 2022. Get this right and you’ll be on the podium in no time, get it wrong and you could be floundering around at the back of the grid while your competitors sail away in a cloud of water vapour.</p>
<p class="">Changes in weather and track conditions are just two of the many difficulties you’ll face, and we’re really excited to see how PlayStation players take on the rest of the challenges that being a Team Principal throws at you in F1 Manager 2022. </p>
<p class="">Pre-order the digital version now on PS4 or PS5 to get early access from August 25 and a 10% discount for PlayStation Plus members. We’ll see you in the Paddock!</p>

<p class="">Hi everyone! I’m Jérémy Hartvick, game design director at Deck13, and currently working on the recently announced Atlas Fallen. Atlas Fallen is a heroic-fantasy action-RPG which will take you to a ravaged sand-covered world where ferocious creatures await to drag you into spectacular fights. The combat system departs from our previous productions—that was one of the biggest challenges we took on… and that’s what I’m here to talk to you about! </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296652038_96a9d6d329_3k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296652038_96a9d6d329_3k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Our team at Deck13 has gathered a lot of experience with close-combat fighting duels, and we wanted to continue in this direction, but with a different angle and completely new mechanics, aiming for even more fast-paced and effects-loaded fights that require skill and timing. We designed the combat to be easy to pick up but also loaded it up with mechanics that are tricky to perform to perfection. </p>

<p class="">While keeping a visceral feel as well as certain moves which were core to The Surge series, Atlas Fallen’s combat is primarily defined by speed and fluidity. We’ve kept ideas like the body part targeting system and the implant system, using a different approach to best support the accentuated RPG aspect. We pushed everything a step further in the direction of advanced character management and moveset customization, so you’ll get to approach combat in your own way. </p>
<p class="">Game feel is our main concern when it comes to designing Atlas Fallen. We’ve let strict constraints of realism aside to focus on giving a thrilling, overpowering feeling to the game. One of the chief design elements to achieve this is Sand Gliding, which is how the hero will move across the vast world of Atlas Fallen. It’s key to the game’s high mobility system, and it brings amazing speed and verticality to the spectacular action of combats. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297139030_3bf1958c7b_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297139030_3bf1958c7b_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Another powerful aspect of Atlas Fallen’s combat system comes from the hero’s gauntlet. Rather than using actual weapons, the magical power of this gauntlet allows the hero to manipulate the sand which covers the world and turn it into a transformable weapon. Thus, there is no need to put a weapon back before taking another out, and changing from one to another during combat becomes a seamless transition.</p>
<p class="">This leads to epic, combo-driven dynamics, which in turn feed another central element to Atlas Fallen’s combat system: the Momentum bar. It consists of a gauge which gets filled as you multiply combos, progressively powering the gauntlet for increased damage and extra skills. It gives a wonderfully overpowering feeling to your attacks. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296649046_a3efcbb293_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296649046_a3efcbb293_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">To sum it up, we’re exploring how far we can take a combat system based on speed, agility and dynamism, and the way that can be combined with an RPG world which offers plenty of exploration. We feel that it’s loads of fun and we’re sure you’ll love slaying extraordinary beasts with the power of the sand!</p>
<p class="">Atlas Fallen will release on PlayStation 5 in 2023. Wishlist the game now and stay tuned for more news!</p>

<p class="">The Lords of the Fallen, a new dark fantasy action-RPG, has just been revealed during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live! We at CI Games are excited to shed a little more light on the title’s vast world of shadow and chaos with the Sony community today. </p>
<p class="">In development for PlayStation 5, the Lords of the Fallen introduces players to an all-new adventure in a world that has fallen into an even darker age, over a thousand years after the events of the original 2014 hit. Players can look forward to exploring a vast and expansive, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game – either fighting alone in the darkness, or side-by-side in seamless online co-op.</p>
<p class="">Cezar Virtosu, Creative Director of Hexworks, describes The Lords of the Fallen as the “spiritual successor fans of the original game have always wanted.The world is significantly vaster, darker and more challenging, with faster, unforgiving combat, deeper lore, and much more immersive storytelling.”</p>
<p class="">The very first trailer for The Lords of the Fallen is a  three minute cinematic narrated by the iconic Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things, Game of Thrones). Feast your eyes below:</p>

<p class="">Now that you’ve had your first taste of the accursed world of The Lords of the Fallen, we’re now going to add some further flesh to the bone with the following gameplay details:</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Explore two vast, parallel worlds</h2>
<p class="">From the ethereal heights of Skywalk Bridge, to the decrepit depths of the Shuja swamps, players will journey across two parallel worlds in their epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the tyrannical, demon God. While the living realm presents its own brutal challenges, untold terrors lurk in the nightmarish realm of the dead. </p>

<p class="">You’ll be equipped with a lantern of ungodly power that equips its bearer with the ability to cross between these two worlds. But it’s more than a key between realms: use this dark art to reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even manipulate the very soul of your foe.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rise from death</h2>
<p class="">If you fall in the world of the living, you’ll rise again… in the world of the dead. You now have one final chance to return to your living state, as all manner of hellish creature descends upon you. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unite or fight in online multiplayer</h2>
<p class="">Adyr’s colossal Lords of Rhogar do not fall easily, but help is at hand for those whose pride permits it. Brave your entire quest side-by-side in uninterrupted, online co-op, with fitting rewards for completing community events. But be warned – heroes from other realms can, and will invade.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Master fast, challenging combat</h2>
<p class="">In a land overrun by demons, amid a world plagued by suffering, only those that master the fast challenging combat stand but a hope of survival. Choose from 100s of uniquely brutal weapons, or forgo metal for magic with devastating attacks of the arcane. </p>

<p class="">Yes, that’s right, Dead Island 2 is OFFICIALLY a thing! So why have we been so quiet? We wanted our global announcement to go hand-in-hand with an awesome demo and we’re delighted that press around the world are getting their hands on the beta build of the game at Gamescom.</p>
<p class="">We’re really proud to finally show off all our hard work!</p>
<p class="">Dead Island 2 is a thrilling first person, action RPG, set in a zombie-infested Los Angeles that we like to call, HELL-A!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303737008_52c5a6f32c_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303737008_52c5a6f32c_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">So, what have we been up to? In 2018 Deep Silver Dambuster Studios started development on Dead Island 2, focusing on a pulp horror zombie experience – in your face; close, visceral, and personal.</p>
<p class="">We didn’t want our heroes to be mere <em>survivors</em> – we wanted them to be <em>thrivers</em>, running headlong into the fray with a predator’s grin and the odd wink to the camera.</p>
<p class="">We’ve put a lot of effort into building our game world, the narrative and most of all, our tactical and very, very gory first person melee combat.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303737168_e48e67a1bb_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303737168_e48e67a1bb_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">In our story Los Angeles has been overrun, the evacuation effort has failed, the military has retreated and LA is in total quarantine. You are infected but immune and experiencing powerful changes to your body. To escape Hell-A you must embrace the slayer inside of you and, perhaps, the zombie inside of you too!</p>
<p class="">So what makes Dead Island 2 so unique?</p>
<p class="">Firstly, Dead Island is known for its fantastic Paradise Gone to Hell setting, and our zompocalypse takes place in none other than the City of Angels. We take players on a rollercoaster ride through many of the picture postcard LA locations, from the beaches of Venice and Santa Monica through to the luxurious mansions of Bel Air and beyond.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303721011_79cb00f8de_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303721011_79cb00f8de_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">Second, visceral combat- our main gameplay pillar. We are unashamedly focused on zombie slaying and we spent an unhealthily amount of time passionately developing our own ridiculously gruesome gore tech (codenamed FLESH – Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids). To compliment the gore we have an huge arsenal of upgradable melee and ranged weapons, an in depth and highly customizable skill card system, allowing players to truly customize their play style, and this all exists within a chaotic and bloody combat sandbox! Players can slice, dice, roast, melt, bludgeon, break and dismember zombies in incredibly stylish ways, and all fully procedurally.</p>
<p class="">Zombies are at the center of everything in Dead Island. You‘ll encounter a huge roster of gameplay and visual zombie variations all encapsulating the vibrancy and uniqueness of LA.</p>
<p class="">This is all experienced through our brash and confident pulp tone – it‘s vibrant, cocky and larger than life with a knowing wink to the camera. But let’s not forget we are pulp horror at our bloody heart, so there are plenty of jump scares, monstrous encounters and creepy locations to explore!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52304218180_6283b2f1a8_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52304218180_6283b2f1a8_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">The demo that press are playing at Gamescom focusses this first look on our brutal, tactical combat through the “Boardwalking Dead” quest, taking place at the Pier in Santa Monica. It’s a quest mid-way through our adventure, and allows them to experiment with our rich combat system and experience our unique pulp vision of LA.</p>
<p class="">That’s all. For now. We can’t wait to tell you more in the very near future!</p>

We’re grateful for the awesome feedback. It has inspired the team as we polish the game for release in December.</p>
<p class="">But the community has also had a lot of questions – especially about the combat and gameplay. </p>
<p class="">That’s why I’m excited to be here to give you a first look at some new features that we’re rolling out this week at gamescom.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brutal, strategic combat</h2>

<p class="">Delivering an innovative new strategic combat system for The Callisto Protocol has been a huge focus for the team. Action in a survival horror game should be a delicate dance between feelings of desperate helplessness and strategic, skill-based gameplay. It’s a historically tough balance to get right.</p>
<p class="">To solve this, we made the combat in The Callisto Protocol a unique mix of ranged shooting and brutal melee, with a unique gravity weapon called the GRP (or “Grip”) that let’s players quickly move between the two.</p>
<p class="">We want players to have options, but we also want them to be terrified of every encounter as they get up close and personal with the enemies.</p>
<p class="">We think it’s one of the most intense, visceral, and terrifying combat systems we’ve experienced, and it’s amplified by some of the next-gen features on the PS5 – especially the incredible haptic feedback on the DualSense controller.  </p>
<p class="">There’s nothing like feeling the powerful strike of the stun baton landing on one of the Biophage through haptic feedback. It gives me chills every time.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mutations</h2>
<p class="">This week at gamescom we’re introducing an all-new mechanic called Mutations that add even more depth to the game’s combat. </p>
<p class="">The creatures in The Callisto Protocol – called Biophage – are inmates at Black Iron Prison who have been transformed by a mysterious outbreak that has thrown the moon into chaos.  As the contagion ravages the host’s body, it spreads through a series of tentacles that violently erupt out of their flesh.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762138_95fb4b4f67_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="A monster charges towards the protagonist, tentacles sprouting from its torso." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762138_95fb4b4f67_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">When the tentacles emerge, the player has a short window to kill the virus with a few well-placed shots at the tentacles before they can wreak further havoc on their host.</p>
<p class="">Kill the virus and you get a quick takedown of an enemy.  Miss, and … well, you don’t want to miss.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762283_6f6f7c9336_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="A snarling, heavily mutated Biophage bares its razor-sharp teeth as it roars at the protagonist." height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762283_6f6f7c9336_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">If the player fails to take down a Biophage when the tentacles emerge, the virus takes over the creature and sets off a series of hideous mutations that make them stronger, harder to kill, and generally more deadly.  Fail to stop the mutations on multiple creatures at once and players will face a mob of monstrous blood-thirsty foes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Epic set piece moments</h2>
<p class="">At gamescom we also revealed a thrilling moment from about halfway through the game where Jacob gets thrown into the sewage system in the underbelly of Black Iron Prison. </p>
<p class="">While The Callisto Protocol is a survival horror game, we wanted to make sure to occasionally mix up the kinds of horror players experience. Sometimes Jacob is feeling his way through dark prison corridors, sometimes he’s flailing for his life in an uncontrollable slide into the depths of the prison’s sanitation system. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52302766987_552ba48702_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52302766987_552ba48702_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">During this moment, players must avoid environmental hazards as they thrash in the unstoppable current. And of course, a brutal over-the-top death awaits for those who fail to make it out alive.</p>
<p class="">We’ve got a lot more to share in the months ahead, but we hope you enjoyed this new look at The Callisto Protocol.</p>

<p class="">Our first encounter with The Callisto Protocol was back in June, when its creator Glen Schofield <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2022/06/02/the-callisto-protocols-sci-fi-horror-gameplay-revealed/">shared an exclusive look at the horrors</a> that would await PS5 players on the surface of Jupiter’s moon. The Striking Distance Studios CEO took us on a tour emphasizing the tech powering this return to the sci-fi horror space: the subtle strength of Horror Engineering that’d perfect each shock and scare, the near-future weaponry that gives Jacob Lee a fighting chance against the mutated Biophage, and how 3D Audio and haptic feedback would pull us deeper into the danger-filled corridors of Black Iron Prison. </p>
<p class="">Today at Gamescom, he returned <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2022/08/23/new-combat-and-gameplay-details-for-the-callisto-protocol-revealed/">to dig deeper into how the game’s combat will work and share new gameplay</a>. Prior to that reveal, we sat down to talk about the journey towards the game’s launch on December 2, its soundscape, story, and more about his team’s techniques to craft a horror story you’ll be unable to forget. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52304046499_273c2efc78_c.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52304046499_273c2efc78_c.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""><strong>PlayStation Blog: While the game’s still a few months out from release, that will mark (just under) two years since it was originally announced. Have you had much chance to come up for air and reflect on that journey thus far, or do you keep your focus solely on those pre-launch milestones?</strong></p>
<p class=""><strong>Glen Schofield: </strong>The last few years have been a blur. We’ve built a new studio, created a new game based on a new IP, with a new team, on a new engine, for a new generation of consoles … during the pandemic. What a ride!  The team at Striking Distance Studios can’t wait to finally share The Callisto Protocol with the world!</p>
<p class="">The support that we’ve received from players—and especially the PlayStation community—has been one of the things that has inspired us to finish so strong. The feedback has been incredible, and it means the world to me and the team.  This game is a labor of love.</p>
<p class=""><strong>What’s left between now and going gold?</strong></p>
<p class="">We’ve reached what we call “content lock,” which means that basically everything is in the game at this point. Levels, creatures, visual effects, cutscenes—it’s all in there. Right now, we’re making all those last little tweaks. Changing the timing on a sound here, brightening up a light there, tuning the difficulty, stuff like that. And of course, we’re optimizing performance and squashing bugs every day.</p>
<p class="">This last phase of development is a lot of work, but it’s when the game really starts to shine. It’s very satisfying to see the light at the end of the tunnel.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Can you go into more detail as to your approach to the game’s score? Is it primarily diegetic, backed with cues from The Apprehension Engine?</strong></p>
<p class="">I can’t overstate how important audio is to a horror game. It’s half the experience. In fact, I consider audio to be a feature, like combat or anything else. It’s that critical.</p>
<p class="">What’s interesting about audio for a horror game is that you have a ton of room to experiment and do some really wild stuff.</p>
<p class="">Let’s say you have a machine off in the corner of the room. We think about how we can make that machine scary. How do you turn people’s expectations for what an industrial machine sounds like, and just tweak it a little bit, so it sounds foreign and intimidating? We want the world to feel familiar but threatening and a little off.</p>
<p class="">These diegetic elements really help immerse the player in the world, but keep them off balance.</p>
<p class="">Music and other non-diegetic elements then serve as punctuation marks for what’s going on in the world.  A quick hit of dissident music when there’s a jump scare can really help deliver the moment of terror.  But the timing has to be just right. A little too early or too late, and it won’t land.</p>
<p class="">Tools like the apprehension engine are a ton of fun because you can just create these crazy sounds that just aren’t possible from regular instruments. It’s a great way to use sound to make players uncomfortable and set them up for when we want to throw a big scare at them.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762138_95fb4b4f67_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="A monster charges towards the protagonist, tentacles sprouting from its torso." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52303762138_95fb4b4f67_6k.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""><strong>Is perfecting in-world diegetic sounds for a horror game as metalicious a process as I imagine? I picture the audio team iterating on every area’s layout, weighing up every creak of the station’s structure, every chain rattle to get the audio suspense alongside the visual note-perfect. </strong></p>
<p class="">We spend a lot of time on the audio in The Callisto Protocol. And I mean a lot.</p>
<p class="">Most players are surprised to learn how much work goes into creating the audio for a game.  For example, there are more than 200,000 individual sounds in our game. To put that into context, we have more than 60 unique sounds just for the various parts of Jacob’s spacesuit.</p>
<p class="">It’s crazy to think about the level of detail that goes into making something feel alive and scary.  We spend weeks and weeks looking at every nook and cranny in the world making sure it doesn’t just sound great – but that it sounds scary.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Despite the futuristic setting, there’s the sense everything is grounded in some sense of reality. Did that extend to level design? Did you approach Black Iron Prison as if it were a real place, so each area – even if unseen by the player – has purpose?</strong></p>
<p class="">Great question. One of the pillars for the art team is something that we call “designed realism.” Since our game is set 300 years from now, there’s naturally a lot of futuristic stuff in the world that hasn’t been invented yet. But we want everything to at least feel real, believable, and make contextual sense in the world. </p>
<p class="">The player might be in a maintenance section of the prison and see a bunch of strange machines. As designers, we don’t need players to understand exactly what they do, but they need to feel real. They might have rusty edges and chipped paint and be near a vehicle, which gives them some context. </p>
<p class="">This attention to detail and thoughtful approach to design helps players stay immersed in the experience.  If any of those details feel out of place, it can pull people out of the world. And when that happens, it’s really hard to land a great scare.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<p class=""><strong>A follow up to that question: we see the sewage system setpiece in the Gamescom demo. Did some setpieces come organically when designing the prison layout, or was the layout tailored to fit the sequencing of setpieces? </strong></p>
<p class="">It’s really an iterative process early in the design phase. We start with the story and then start to create levels in a whitebox environment to see what’s fun and compelling. As we spend more time talking about the world and the player’s journey we go through a lot of different ideas for “big moments” like this.</p>
<p class="">In this case, we knew we wanted to have this particular setpiece pretty early in development.  In fact, we included a rough version of it in an early demo build that we showed the executives at Sony.</p>
<p class="">The slide down the sewage pipes had a lot of challenging technical problems for us to solve, and we knew if we could make that work early on, we’d be able to tackle pretty much anything else later in development.</p>
<p class=""><strong>The generative design process, processing human-made objects through AI to make them feel alien-like, sounds fascinating. How did that come to be used for the game? Has it turned up any peculiarities that the team thought too out there? </strong></p>
<p class="">We fell in love with the generative design aesthetic as we were building out the “art bible” for the game. The results are familiar and recognizable while still looking totally alien and otherworldly. By using generative design as a visual bar we were able to transform everyday objects like chairs or prison bars into unique, futuristic details that immerse players in this sci-fi world.</p>
<p class="">That said, we tried not to overdo it with generative design. Too much would have been distracting. We wanted to use it to make the world feel special and designed, but ultimately believable and practical.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<p class=""><strong>The game uses the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to communicate the feel of futuristic weaponry. What was that process like, and who was involved in deciding what the right “feel” was for fictitious weapons such as the GRP were?</strong></p>
<p class="">We use the haptics to immerse players in the world and create a heightened sense of realism, urgency, and terror. So much of the horror experience is the visceral connection to what’s happening on the screen, and haptics take that to the next level. </p>
<p class="">Like everything in the game, the best horror moments come from the gut and require a lot of trial and error to get right. Haptics are no different. Our design and systems team spent months getting the feel just right. From the hum of the GRP gravity weapon to the feedback when landing a crushing blow onto a mutated monster with the stun baton, you just do it over and over and over again until you get it just right.</p>
<p class=""><strong>In your announcement PS Blog article, you talked about resources being scarce to strip the player of any power fantasy: are there different difficulty options built into the game, and if so how and what do they scale? </strong></p>
<p class="">We’ll have different difficulty settings so players can play the way they want to play.  But that said, we’re making a pretty tough game on the normal setting. </p>
<p class="">Harder settings will give players fewer resources to work with and make enemies stronger, more aggressive, and more aware of the player’s movements.</p>
<p class="">We want players to feel challenged and accomplished, not frustrated and defeated.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Obviously you’re keeping story specifics close to your chest. But are you able to discuss constructing the story? Did you come in with a clear idea of where or how this story would conclude or have you found it during production?</strong></p>
<p class="">I came up with the idea for the game when I was spending a few weeks in the desert after I finished my last project. I knew I wanted to tell a science fiction horror story set in a deep space prison, and had a few of the key plot beats. I knew how I wanted the story to end, but there were a lot of details to work out.</p>
<p class="">I came home, got to work, and a few days later had a ten-page treatment that I was ready to start to pitch. From there, I started working with my writing team, including our creative director Scott Whitney, who I’ve worked with for more than 20 years. In fact, we worked together on the original Dead Space.</p>
<p class="">The team really helped me flesh it out. I think of myself as more of a storyteller than a writer. The team helped me bring my ideas to life. </p>

<p class=""><strong>We’ve seen from in-game and key art even after Jacob ‘suits up’ his face is still visible. Was that to continue to emphasize his vulnerability, to better communicate emotion during cutscenes, or a bit of both? </strong></p>
<p class="">Great insight.  One of the pillars for the game is the idea of humanity.  We want players to connect to the characters and really feel Jacob’s life-or-death struggle. Rather than feature a silent, faceless character, we really wanted to put Jacob’s humanity front and center to capture the terror and emotion he experiences as he explores Black Iron Prison.</p>
<p class="">Seeing Jacob’s face also ratchets up the intensity level of things like the character deaths for example. When Jacob gets caught in the big fan in the sewage pipes in the most recent clip, you can really see the terror on his face.</p>
<p class=""><strong>The cast – at least what has been announced thus far – is relatively small. Was that a result of the story you wanted to tell? Does it give you the chance to dig into these personalities rather than etch character types we’ve encountered in the genre previously? </strong></p>
<p class="">One of the things I love about survival horror is the feeling of isolation and dread in the world. We only have a few characters because we want players to feel alone and trapped on Callisto. There needs to be other people to move the story along, but for the most part Jacob (and the player) is on his own.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Your background in the horror genre speaks for itself. But what is it that attracts you to the genre, and how have you seen it evolve over the years?</strong></p>
<p class="">I’ve been a fan of science fiction and horror for as long as I can remember. In fact, it kind of blew my mind that the movie The Thing just celebrated its 40th anniversary.  I remember seeing it in the movie theater!</p>
<p class="">Science fiction, and the idea of exploring the vast unknowns of space, just lends itself so well to the things I love about survival horror – isolation, desolation, and an oppressive atmosphere that delivers atmosphere and tension.</p>

<p class="">Hey PlayStation players! I’ve goat some new details I wanted to share with you on our silly sandbox game, as well as our first gameplay trailer, revealed today at Gamescom Opening Night Live.</p>
<p class="">Goat Simulator 3 is coming to PlayStation 5 on November 17 and we’re hyped to reveal more details on what you can anticipate. If you’ve had the misfortune of playing Goat Simulator, you’re familiar with our specific brand of nonsense, but this time around we promise we’ve tried a bit harder:</p>

<p class="">The essence of Goat Simulator 3 is the freedom to explore and uncover the mysteries of the sprawling city of San Angora and cause absolute carnage. There is so much to uncover, destroy, and milk, but I wanted to highlight a few of our “gameplay features”:</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Multiplayer mini-games</h2>
<p class="">Got friends? Because the feature we’re probably most proud of is the 4 player multiplayer in Goat Simulator 3. Everything Pilgor does in single player can also be enjoyed with friends, online or in local co-op. We’ve added a load of mini-games, seven in fact which are:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>King of the Hill</strong> – Stay inside the castle to gain crowns. The player with the most crowns wins.</li><li><strong>The Floor is Lava </strong>– Don’t touch the lava! Use your parkour skills and climb as high as possible to escape the rising lava. Last one alive wins.</li><li><strong>Car Derby</strong> – Drive into the rear of the other players vehicles to explode their bombs. Last player alive wins.</li><li><strong>Prop Hunt </strong>– Classic hide and seek. If you are the seeker, find the other players by headbutting stuff. To hide, lick your desired prop. Move around when hiding to gain extra points.</li><li><strong>Headsplat</strong> – Use your headbutt to paint the world. You get a point for each painted thing.</li><li><strong>Hoofball</strong> – Get the ball in your goal to score points. The player with the most points wins, like usual.</li><li><strong>Prop Golf </strong>– Get your prop to the flag ASAP. First player to reach the flag wins.</li></ul>
<p class="">We’ve highlighted special areas around the island where you can unlock each mini-game, if you’ve yet to come across it before, and play in a space designed for the “best” experience for that game.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296628181_e49c5284ee_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296628181_e49c5284ee_4k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Once you unlock a mini-game you can then play it anytime and anywhere you want. Either give you and your friends a worthy challenge or activate the mini-game in the most ridiculously inappropriate or silly setting possible just for giggles. These will put your goat skills to the test in different ways! If a round is not going in your favor, you might want to equip a gear that gives you the upper hand.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customization</h2>
<p class="">Role playing as a goat is the crux of Goat Simulator 3, and we want players to be able to really embody their protagonist in as many fabulous forms as possible. The game features over 350 customisation items designed to delight and offend (we’re looking at you “pre-udder”’).</p>
<p class="">Want to wield an electrified sword as a ghost in stilettos? Shoot laser beams from your eyes? Fancy grinding across San Angora wearing toilet paper for shoes and balancing a tea set on your back? We got you.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297118630_e1295ba5fd_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank rel="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297118630_e1295ba5fd_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Don’t want to be a goat? Firstly, I’m shocked you’ve got so far into this blog, but fear not! You may be pleasantly surprised to hear that in the world of Goat Simulator 3, goats come in all shapes and sizes. From tall goats (known in some circles as giraffes) to angry goats (aka rhinos, Steve and also this monstrosity – the Abominana.</p>

<p class="">If this sounds like your bale of hay, Goat Simulator 3 is available for Pre-Udder at PlayStation Store, do it now and you’ll get an exclusive in-game jiggly udder to impress and unsettle your friends! You know you want one…</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Four New Added Cars!</strong></h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>McLaren MP4/4 ’88</strong></h3>
<p class=""><strong>A legendary F1 machine that marked the end of the Turbo era.</strong></p>
<p class="">McLaren fought the 1988 F1 World Championships season in the MP4/4. This was a low height, low drag machine designed by Gordon Murray and Steve Nichols, powered by the Honda RA168E engine. This was also the last year for turbocharged machines in Formula racing. With the allowed maximum boost pressures reduced from 4 bars to 2.5 bars, and on-board fuel reduced by 45 litres to 150 litres in total, it was supposed to be a very tough season for the turbocharged machines. But in the end the McLaren Honda MP4/4 totally dominated the season with 15 wins out of 16 races. Of course, the chassis was very well developed, but the Honda engine which balanced fuel consumption and effective power extremely well is said to be the major factor in their victory. The number 12 MP4/4 was the car driven by Ayrton Senna. Senna put on an incredible performance this year with 13 pole positions and 8 wins and won the drivers’ championship.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pontiac GTO ‘The Judge’ ’69</strong></h3>
<p class=""><strong>This extreme sports package was introduced for later models of the GTO, the original muscle car.</strong></p>
<p class="">The original Pontiac GTO debuted in 1964 to great success and is said to be the original road-going muscle car. However, the 1968 second generation model changed to a more style oriented fastback and while it wasn’t lacking in performance it failed to stand up to more powerful rivals that had arrived on the scene. In a bid to make a comeback, General Motors released ‘The Judge’ in 1969. Costing a mere $332, this sports package included a staggering amount of equipment as standard. It included unique decals and racing stripes, a Hurst shifter, heavy duty suspension, wider tires, and a rear spoiler. The engine was upgraded to the 6.6L ‘Ram Air III’ V8, which was listed at 360 BHP but rumored to produce much more. As a result, ‘The Judge’ was able to top its rivals in both presence and performance, gaining it widespread attention. Just one year later though, strict emissions regulations came into effect in the United States and muscle cars like the GTO began to decline.</p>

<p class=""></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Porsche Cayman GT4 ’16</strong></h3>
<p class=""><strong>A motorsport focused Cayman with the power of the 911.</strong></p>
<p class="">As 911 has always formed the backbone of Porsche’s sports car racing endeavours, racing focused 911 models have always been part of their catalogue line-up and available to the public. 2015 however, saw the arrival of an outlier. A motorsports version of the less powerful mid-ship Cayman coupe was introduced as the Cayman GT4. Its most notable feature is the powertrain. Based on that of the 911 Carrera S, it combines a 3.8L flat-6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. What’s more is it produces 379 BHP, more than the base model 911 Carrera. The brakes and suspension also use parts from the 991 GT3 and the ride height has been lowered 30 mm from the standard position. The exterior has also been changed to match the car’s new image with a unique front lip and fixed rear wing. A glance over the option list will also show you track focused this model is, featuring a roll cage, fire extinguishers and a 6-point harness for the driver’s seat.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>De Tomaso Mangusta (Christian Dior)</strong></h3>
<p class=""><strong>An Italian sports car reimagined by a fashion giant.</strong></p>
<p class="has-default-font">As one of France’s foremost luxury houses, Dior has continually led the industry since its very beginning. And this car that was born of an undertaking ‒ to reimagine sports cars through their elegant and evolutionary brand essence ‒ is the De Tomaso Mangusta (Christian Dior).</p>
<p class="">The model that was selected as the ‘raw material’ is the De Tomaso Mangusta, an Italian sports car that proudly embodies the allure of the 1960s. The styling, which exhibits both finesse and strength, was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro during his days at Carrozzeria Ghia, and is renowned for its gull-winged rear hatch.Artistic Director of Dior men’s collections Kim Jones has cast the House’s magic on the Mangusta, adorning it with livery that combines an intentionally conservative body colour, complete with chic stripes, in addition to the Dior lettering on the sides. Racing number 47 on the bonnet represents 1947, the year of Dior’s revolutionary debut collection.</p>
<p class="">Kim Jones has also turned the car’s driver into an alluring part of the Dior universe. When the car is selected, the player’s racing suit and helmet will be instantly replaced by a suit designed by Dior, making the driver a part of the House’s expression, becoming one with this very special Mangusta. Introducing an avant-garde present based on a classic 1960s sports car: this is an epoch-making model that only a house like Dior ‒ one that truly knows the nature and esprit of fashion – can produce.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Three New Layouts Added to Circuit de Barcelona- Catalunya</strong></h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya GP Layout No Chicane</strong></h3>
<p class="">The chicane running into the final corner has been removed, transforming this once low-speed sector into a high-speed right turn and providing a thrilling layout where aerodynamics is thoroughly put to the test. To accompany the ‘No Chicane’ layout being added to the game, the existing Catalunya circuit has been titled ‘Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya GP Layout’. Circuit de Barcelona ‒ Catalunya is a race circuit located approximately 30km north of Barcelona, Spain. It has been the stage for many epic F1 and MotoGP races since opening in September 1991</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya National Layout</strong></h3>
<p class="">The home straight from the GP Layout now runs into a hairpin turn, resulting in a more compact track that completely cuts through Sector 1 and half of Sector 2. Yet, there is still plenty on offer as the long back straight and technical 3rd Sector are preserved, providing a very satisfying racing experience.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya Rallycross Layout</strong></h3>
<p class="">This special rallycross layout is made up of the GP Layout’s Sector 3 and infield areas, resulting in a unique hybrid track composed of paved and unpaved surfaces. The jump in the middle of the track is a sight to behold.</p>
<p class="">Be sure to stay tuned to official GT and PlayStation channels as there are plenty more updates to come from the team. Until then, happy racing!</p>

<p class="">Hi, I’m Tom Heaton, the game director of The Devil In Me. Today I’m going to talk about some of the inspirations for our game and especially for our antagonist, Granthem Du’Met.</p>
<p class="">The Devil In Me is the story of a group of film makers making a documentary about American serial killers. They are lured to a remote island hotel, trapped and hunted by a serial killer who is inspired by HH Holmes.</p>

<p class="">HH Holmes was born in 1861. He operated in Chicago in the 1890s and his name is tied with the World’s Columbian Exposition, also known as the World’s Fair, which was hosted in Chicago at that time. Holmes already had a shady past by the time he arrived in Chicago. He had qualified as a doctor, and there is a suggestion that he made money by digging up graves and raiding mortuaries to sell the corpses to medical schools. He also had a complex personal life. Business associates, wives and girlfriends had a habit of disappearing, often leaving significant amounts of money to one HH Holmes.</p>

</div></figure>
<p class="">In the frenzied, energetic years leading up to the Columbian Exposition, HH Holmes built a hotel to cater for the vast crowds that would turn up for the spectacle. It was a huge three-storey building that took up an entire block. The first floor featured an elegant reception area, a bar and a pharmacy store. The third floor contained guest rooms. But the second floor was unique and dangerous. After Holmes was arrested, investigators found it was made up of secret corridors, hidden rooms, trap doors, torture chambers and rooms specifically designed for murdering people. In the basement there were tables for chopping up and dismembering bodies and vats of acid for destroying evidence in the cleanest way possible.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296797166_8f457cb5db_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52296797166_8f457cb5db_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Holmes approached the task of murdering people with intellect and zeal and creativity. He experimented and refined his techniques. He was ruthless and highly motivated. He was far too much for the poor rubes who turned up at his hotel hoping for a bit of comfort while they took in the glories of the World’s Fair.</p>
<p class="">When the Dark Pictures team looked around for inspiration for a potential serial killer game, HH Holmes stood out as someone that would offer a compelling and unusual template for how a serial killer might operate.</p>
<p class="">You will meet Holmes in the prologue of The Devil In Me. He welcomes a pair of naïve honeymooners to the splendor of his hotel. He is suave and charming and not a little condescending. His mind is alert, calculating, watching, working out the best way to dispatch these innocents and prepare the hotel for the next guests.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297288560_d02eff5488_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52297288560_d02eff5488_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">The modern-day antagonist of The Devil In Me, Granthem Du’Met, is an HH Holmes obsessive to the extent that he has built his own contemporary murder castle. He’s inspired by Holmes’s methods, but he also wants to beat his horrifying kill-count. Some sources think that Holmes had almost 200 victims, so that’s a big ask. He’s also inspired by the 19th century world of HH Holmes, and you’ll see this in the set dressing, the costume he uses and the music he likes to play as he delivers the killing blow to his next victim.</p>
<p class="">The threats in previous Dark Pictures games were psychological and supernatural, but in The Devil In Me the threat is more grounded, more intimate: nothing more than a human being. At first that might seem like a limitation, but this human is intent on your death. He has planned it meticulously, and he will deliver it in the most gruesome, innovative and meaningful fashion possible.</p>

<p class="">We’ve had great fun designing these deaths, getting into the warped and cruel headspace of an obsessive killer, trying to be as innovative and creative as HH Holmes, and we can’t wait for players to get their hands on the game and walk the corridors of Granthem Du’met’s modern murder castle.</p>

<p class="">Last year, we offered exclusive PlayStation 5 MyTEAM challenges such as “Assists against Dirk &amp; Luka” to begin Season 1 of NBA 2K22. The latest iteration of the NBA 2K franchise will showcase similar challenges on PlayStation 5, but this year they revolve around Michael Jordan, further highlighting this year’s Championship Edition cover athlete.</p>
<p class="">Courtesy of PlayStation 5’s next-level tech, navigating to the Jordan Challenges is incredibly easy. By pressing the PS Button, while on the Main Menu, each of the Activity Cards will appear in a row. Scroll through each of the 2K23 modes which appear on Activity Cards, and when you’re ready, press SQUARE to start the Activity. It’s truly that easy.</p>
<p class="">Below, we’ve mapped out the challenges releasing with each Season this year, so you can get a sneak preview of what’s to come!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 1: Rookie of the Year</h2>
<p class="">When Jordan set foot on the hardwood as a rookie, he wasted no time establishing himself as a bonafide force on both offense and defense. To kick off the first Season of NBA 2K23, you’ll be tasked with stopping him and his ‘85 Chicago Bulls teammates. Assemble a lineup and score 50 points as a team to beat Jordan and receive your reward.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 2: The All-Star Dunker</h2>
<p class="">Jordan always possessed raw athleticism, but he put it on full display during the 1988 All-Star Weekend, earning his second consecutive Slam Dunk Contest win. Meet the Slam Dunk Champion and All-Star MVP at the rim, along with his ‘88 Eastern Conference All-Star teammates. Throw down 10 ferocious dunks to successfully complete the challenge.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 3: Defense Wins Championships</h2>
<p class="">MJ’s defense proved to be a major contributing factor in his 1991 NBA Finals victory, securing the first ring of his career. Show the nine-time All-Defense player you’re capable of your own lockdown defense by swatting down five shots.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 4: Win as a Team</h2>
<p class="">His Airness took home the hardware for Most Valuable Player and Finals MVP in 1992, but he couldn’t have done it without the support of his teammates. Despite being an exceptional scorer, Jordan was also a standout facilitator. Dish out 10 team assists in Season 4 to claim your reward.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 5: Three-Peat Triples</h2>
<p class="">By 1993, the Chicago Bulls looked unstoppable. With Jordan leading the way, the Bulls did what few teams in NBA history have accomplished by winning three consecutive NBA Finals. To honor the three-peat, hit five three-pointers against the Bulls in MyTEAM and give them a taste of their own medicine.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 6: Flying Air Jordan</h2>
<p class="">The 1996 All-Star team featured high-flying talent, headlined by Michael Jordan. The All-Star game is typically a dunk-fest, where the league’s most gifted players unleash a flurry of slams. Elevate your MyTEAM lineup to victory by soaring above the rim for 10 dunks and secure your reward.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 7: Face the 72-Win Bulls</h2>
<p class="">In 1996, the sports world thought the Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins would be untouchable, and for over 20 years it was. Season 7’s challenge is an homage to the record-breaking Bulls, requiring you to score 72 points against them and win. Think you’re up to the task?</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 8: Behind the Arc Range</h2>
<p class="">The game has changed through the years, with more teams and players leaning heavily on the three-point shot. While it’s more prevalent today than it was in the ‘90s, there were flashes of three-point attacks during Jordan’s era. Unleash a barrage of three-pointers and drain 10 of them as a team to achieve the goal.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Season 9: The G.O.A.T’s Final Challenge</h2>
<p class="">Michael Jordan’s last dance was a spectacle to behold. The Bulls completed their second three-peat of the ‘90s with their win in the 1998 NBA Finals. Jordan put on a clinic in Game 6 to close out the series with 45 points, adding to an already impressive legacy. Replicate Jordan’s memorable outing with a 45-point game of your own.</p>
<p class="">This year’s rewards consist of an exclusive Diamond Shoe Colorway, 5 Shoe Boosts, and a Gold Badge for a total of 7 reward cards for each challenge. All nine challenges will be playable on  PlayStation5 and each of the challenges are integrated with Activity Cards for you to use at your leisure. When NBA 2K23 launches on September 9, answer the call to greatness by challenging Michael Jordan in MyTEAM.</p>

<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52308625166_1f8d4b1284_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52308625166_1f8d4b1284_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52308624616_0d9eb735b3_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52308624616_0d9eb735b3_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class=""><strong>Cover Athletes</strong></p>
<p class="">Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras, one of the brightest young talents in the NHL, graces the NHL 23 cover alongside Canada national team forward Sarah Nurse. Both our cover stars are breaking huge ground: Nurse is the first female player to ever be featured on the official worldwide cover of an NHL game and Zegras is one of the youngest players to ever make the cover. They’re two of hockey’s biggest stars and we’re pleased to feature them on this year’s cover.</p>
<p class="">We’re also happy to announce that we’re introducing mixed men’s and women’s teams in Ultimate Team this year, letting you craft the true dream team on your HUT roster. Now, let’s get into the gameplay improvements we’re ushering in this year – and since we’re on the subject of Ultimate Team… </p>
<p class=""><strong>Game mode updates</strong></p>
<p class="">Ultimate Team is getting some brilliant updates, including the rotating HUT Rivals playlist and three additional tiers of rewards based on Wins and Win Streaks. Forge your dynasty in Franchise with even more ways to customize the league that you’re about to dominate with your team.</p>
<p class=""><strong>More options on the stick, more danger in the goal</strong></p>
<p class="">From Stumble Actions that create last-ditch shots out of nearly nothing, to Loose Puck Plays that turn loose pucks into highlight-reel shots, you’ll get even more chances to go for glory in any game situation. But the same is true for your opponents: Enhanced Goalie AI makes getting the puck in the net even harder.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Cross-platform matchmaking</strong></p>
<p class="">For the first time, cross-platform matchmaking is officially coming to NHL 23, via an update launching later this year. Join up with friends and hit the ice against players around the world in Ultimate Team and World of Chel. Shorter queues and more players mean more games and more competition!</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Hello! I’m Daniel, creator of Inscryption and I’m back to explain some of the PlayStation-exclusive features we’ve implemented in the PS5 version! With some clever use of the controller and a drop or two of goat’s blood we managed to make Inscryption even more immersive.</p>
<p class="">Firstly, spoiler alert! There’s nothing here that will give away the game’s darkest secrets, of course, but if you want to dive into the console experience completely fresh, then proceed with caution.</p>
<p class="">Let’s start with the controls themselves. The good news is controls have been completely redesigned to feel good on a gamepad. Inscryption was originally designed to be a point-and-click adventure controlled with a mouse, but moving a virtual cursor with the analog stick was not going to be good enough for console players, so we went back to the drawing board. It was a lot of work.</p>
<p class="">Now, you’ll be able to snap between views with the analog stick, use the face buttons to examine and play your cards, then press the adaptive trigger to end your turn. It feels great on the controller and we’re really happy with how it turned out. But what about exploration? Well, in the cabin itself, certain interactable objects are bound to hotkeys for easy access. However, to maintain the curiosity of not knowing what will react to your input, some of the hotkey prompts are hidden.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://gfycat.com/everyheavyherculesbeetle
</div></figure>
<p class="">New controls aren’t the only thing we’ve been working on, there’s also some fun features for the DualSense Wireless Controller.</p>
<p class="">First up, the lightbar now adds some dramatic effects to Inscryption, matching the ambient in-game lighting, flashing orange when Leshy speaks and shocking red when certain traumatic events occur. Speaking of traumatic events, we’ve also designed specific haptics for them that tightly match the on-screen action – it’s like pulling-teeth!</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://gfycat.com/academicregularibadanmalimbe
</div></figure>
<p class="">Other haptic features include a light rumble in the controller relative to the position of whichever card you choose next, and various rumbles as pieces move on and off the table. Feel the heavy Sacrifice Stones slam down on the table!</p>
<p class="">Last, but not least, Adaptive Triggers provide just enough resistance to make pressing the bell to end your turn extra satisfying, and some key decisions – such as confirming which card to sacrifice to the Bone Lord – resist your trigger finger to give you a final moment to turn back, or make you feel extra guilty!</p>

</div></figure>
<p class="">So there we have it. I hope these new features enhance your enjoyment of Inscryption on PlayStation 5. Playing at night with the lights off is a good call for this one ;)</p>

<p class="">High up in the list of longest-running video game franchises at 33 years and change, Phantasy Star has touched the lives of many and inspired quite a following. And, that journey is set to continue. Today, we’re happy to announce that our action-RPG Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis comes to PS4 on August 31. If you’re new to the series, let me give you a quick primer.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A brief history of the futuristic RPG series</h2>
<p class="">Phantasy Star has morphed over the last three decades, but some concepts remain the same. Initially developed for the Sega Master System in 1987, these single-player RPGs eventually became a quadrilogy and, though mostly set in the same star system, could each be enjoyed as a standalone adventure. The inclusion of sci-fi and classic fantasy thematic aspects made these games unique at the time, while players journeyed across multiple planets, explored dungeons, and fought fearsome foes. The four titles were highly acclaimed for their gameplay and visuals.</p>
<p class="">In 2000, the series inspired one of the first console games that featured online multiplayer: Phantasy Star Online. The game’s party-based systems and combat-based PvE play made it one of the earliest pioneers of online gameplay in the console market. 2006’s Phantasy Star Universe would carry on the series’ penchant for having each entry feature a new setting and story, while evolving its hallmark sci-fi-infused combat. Finally, in 2012, Phantasy Star Online 2 launched its own stellar journey to the stars.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52311156683_8a3bf2ec7a_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52311156683_8a3bf2ec7a_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A New Genesis</h2>
<p class="">August 31 marks the launch of Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis on the PS4. It’s a massive update, as the game system and graphics engine were completely overhauled and exploration changed from hub-based to true open-world, as well as featuring a new story and cast of characters set over 1,000 years after the events of PSO2. </p>
<p class="">Players of New Genesis are still able to explore the content of PSO2 with their character by accessing an in-game device and teleporting to the original world at their leisure. This makes New Genesis the perfect entry point for newcomers, as they’ll have access to both games. And all this is F2P, as a Playstation Plus subscription is not required to play the Playstation 4 version of New Genesis.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Genesis: Combat and exploration, solo or with friends</h2>
<p class="">Like its predecessors, New Genesis is built around compelling, story-driven quests and intense real-time combat sequences as you explore and battle your way across the landscape of the planet Halpha. </p>
<p class="">While quite engaging as a solo adventure, New Genesis is also fun with friends and others, as players can form parties of up to 4 and play in the Exploration Sectors – where up to 32 players can be at a time. There are also Urgent Quests, where tougher enemies and Bosses reside, that allow up to 2 parties or 8 total players to participate. </p>
<p class="">When it comes to party dynamics, this isn’t your typical healer, tank, and two damage classes. No, none of that is necessary here. While some classes have abilities to support the play of others (such as damage or defense buffs, or area-wide healing) there are no strict roles in NGS. </p>
<p class="">In addition, you don’t gain Skill Points or abilities simply by leveling up. In order to place points in your Skill Tree, you need to earn them by visiting Trainia and Cocoons, where you’ll vanquish foes and solve puzzles in simulated environments. These can be done in a party and are repeatable for in-game currency and experience (but no additional Skill Points after the first completion). You can also create parties for Urgent Quests on-demand, known as Trigger Quests, which can be accessed through a Quest Counter in any of the three cities. </p>
<p class="">Finally, areas of New Genesis are sequestered into Blocks and Rooms, so you can teleport to a Block in a Sector or city where your friends are or create a Private Room that only you and your friends can access. Exploration Sectors allow up to 32 players, and Combat Sectors allow up to 8.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52310841841_fd21848de1_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52310841841_fd21848de1_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dynamic interactions and quests in NGS</h2>
<p class="">Though there are quests available from NPCs in the three main cities, a lot of the experience players earn in NGS comes from dynamic interactions that occur in the field. Emergency Trials spawn frequently, and these can necessitate defense of downed aircraft against enemy hordes, the destruction of a strong enemy alongside other players, or other scenarios. Storms may pummel the landscape and cause especially strong enemies, known as Gigantix, to appear. You’ll need help from quite a few players to dispatch them. Rewards from defeating enemies can be in-game currency, experience, weapons and armor (some high-powered or otherwise rare), and augments to enhance your gear. Some enemies in certain venues may even drop cosmetic items to further customize your character.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A class above</h2>
<p class="">You’ll pick from nine main classes and can select a sub-class, supporting a player’s individual playstyle and goal. Prefer to keep your enemies close? Try a Fighter/Hunter class combination. Like slinging spells from afar? Check out a Force/Techter combo. Thinking about switching it up? Just visit the Class Counter in any major city and change your class at will. There are 17 weapon types available in the game, and all classes save for one (the newly released Waker) have their choice out of a small handful. The Skill Trees for each class also allow you to tailor your active and passive abilities to match your playstyle and preferred weapon type.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New magic in New Genesis: Photon Arts and Techniques</h2>
<p class="">Players can use either Photon Arts (PA) or Techniques, providing them with an arsenal of options in battle. Photon Arts vary depending on the player’s choice of weapon, and choice of weapon depends on the player’s class. </p>
<p class="">Change weapons during combat to really make your gameplay interesting. Feel like throwing the perfect uppercut after pummeling your enemy as a Fighter? Slap some Knuckles on and use the Thousand Blows PA. Enemy still alive? Just switch over to your Double Saber and spawn a tornado using Quick Gash. As the Fighter class, you can wield Partizans, Double Sabers, and Knuckles and have up to 6 weapons on your Weapon Palette to quickly change to in the heat of combat. </p>
<p class="">Some classes use Techniques instead of Photon Arts, and some can be slung from safety while others target enemies in close quarters. As a Force, players can use either the Rod or Talis to cast Techniques, which all have some kind of elemental affiliation. </p>
<p class="">Use the Grants Technique with a Rod and call down swords of Light on your opponent, then follow it up with Gimegid to splash Dark photons on enemies closing in on you. Casting Elemental Techniques also has another benefit besides dealing just damage, in that many enemies have Elemental Weaknesses. Target an enemy with a Technique that matches the element they are weak to, and you can inflict an Elemental Down, which is a special downed state where the enemy is unresponsive for a period of time. Inflicting Elemental Downs will make you popular with other players as they’re able to freely damage the enemy during that time without fear of reprisal. Physical Downs of enemies are possible too, and these can be achieved by targeting an enemy’s Weak Points, where damage is amplified.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Have a great time in Halpha</h2>
<p class="">PS4 players will discover there are 3 regions of planet Halpha that are ready for exploration: Aelio, Retem, and Kvaris. </p>
<p class="">Aelio is lush and green, filled with picturesque peaks and valleys – as well as enemy-infested Laboratory Ruins and Mt. Magnus. </p>
<p class="">The Retem region is a harsh desert landscape. The shifting sands surround a massive pyramid structure, with a large mountain residing in the southwest. Various Tames, or passive beasts, inhabit the region and tend to congregate around the few oases to be found in the area. </p>
<p class="">In direct opposition to the desert heat is the frigid cold of the Kvaris region, which players have been exploring since June of 2022. The presence of the snow provides players with a new mode of transportation, that of the Floating Board, or snowboard, and the region is dotted with interspersed jump and acceleration pads. In the west of Kvaris lies the deadly Rayjord Gorge, an area that challenges players by not only sheltering dangerous enemies, but also by subjecting them to frigid temperatures that can kill if not properly accounted for. The most dangerous enemy, Ancient Enemies, will occasionally appear and players will need the help of others (up to 32) in order to take them on. If players can survive the environmental effect and the powerful enemies, the potential rewards of exploring this region are quite desirable.</p>

<p class="">There’s so much more to find out about this game, so bookmark your calendars and take some time-off as needed to experience Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis on Playstation 4 when it drops on August 31!</p>

<p class="">With The Last of Us Part I releasing next week, September 2, Naughty Dog is excited to share a comprehensive overview of the game’s accessibility features. The studio has taken the features established in The Last of Us Part II as a baseline, and then evolved these options even further.  </p>
<p class="">“We’re expecting this to be an accessible experience for blind players, for deaf players, for players with motor accessibility needs,” explains Game Director Matthew Gallant. “The biggest new feature we have are audio descriptions for cinematics. We partnered with Descriptive Video Works, a professional service whose background is TV, movies and video game trailers, and integrated it into the cutscenes and across all our localized languages. </p>
<p class="">“Another, which started as a prototype but ended up being really successful during playtesting is a feature that plays dialogue through the PS5 DualSense controller as haptic feedback. That way a deaf player can feel the way a line is delivered, can feel the emphasis, along with the subtitles to give some sense of how that line is delivered.” </p>

<p class="">Below, you can find the accessibility options in full.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accessibility Presets</h2>
<p class="">As with The Last of Us Part II, many of the accessibility features were built to work in concert with one another. As such, there are three accessibility presets that configure all the recommended settings for vision, hearing, and motor accessibility. You’re free to customize these presets further to better suit your needs. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-table is-style-ps-store table-first-column-width-10"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Apply Vision Accessibility Preset</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Configures all the recommended settings designed for players who are blind or have low vision.<br/>This will enable settings across multiple menus, such as: <br/><meta charset="utf-8"/>• Screen Reader <br/>• Cinematic Descriptions <br/>• High Contrast Display<br/>• HUD Scale &gt; Large<br/>• Lock-On Aim &gt; Auto-Target<br/>• Traversal and Combat Audio Cues<br/>• Navigation and Traversal Assistance<br/>• Ledge Guard<br/>• Enhanced Listen Mode<br/>•  Invisibility Toggle<br/>• Skip Puzzle Option<br/>• Various adjustments in the <strong>Combat Accessibility</strong> menu</td></tr><tr><td>Apply Hearing Accessibility Preset</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Configures all the recommended settings designed for players who are deaf or hard of hearing.<br/>This will enable settings across multiple menus, such as:<br/>• Awareness Indicators<br/>• Pick-Up Notifications<br/>• Subtitles &gt; Story + Combat<br/>• Subtitle Names<br/>• Subtitle Direction<br/>• Combat Vibration Cues</td></tr><tr><td>Apply Motor Accessibility Preset</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Configures all the recommended settings designed for players with a physical or mobility disability.<br/>This will enable settings across multiple menus, such as:<br/>• Lock-On Aim &gt; Auto-Target<br/>• Auto Weapon Swap<br/>• Auto Pick Up<br/>• Camera Assist &gt; On<br/>• Navigation and Traversal Assistance<br/>• Ledge Guard<br/>• Infinite Breath<br/>• Repeated Button Presses &gt; Hold<br/>• Melee Combos &gt; Hold<br/>• Weapon Sway &gt; Off<br/>• Skip Puzzle Option<br/>• Various adjustments in the <strong>Combat Accessibility</strong> menu</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative controls </h2>
<p class="">You are able to fully customize your PS5 DualSense controller options, remapping every command to a different controller input – including touchpad swipes and controller shake. You have individual options to change every button hold into a toggle, and every rapid press into a hold. There are also camera assistance and lock-on aim options. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Magnification and Visual Aids</h2>
<p class="">There are options to fine-tune the HUD size, color and contrast to ensure text, UI and gameplay elements are comfortably visible to view and read. The High Contrast Display is a special render mode that provides more contrast for in-game elements. There’s also a Screen Magnifier, allowing you to zoom in on any part of the screen using the PS5 DualSense controller’s touchpad. </p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>HUD Scale</td><td>Default, Large</td><td>Changes the size of in-game HUD elements.</td></tr><tr><td>HUD Background</td><td>Default, Light, Darkened</td><td>Changed HUD background darkness.</td></tr><tr><td>HUD Color</td><td>White, Yellow, Blue, Red, Green</td><td>Changes the color of text and HUD elements.</td></tr><tr><td>HUD Colorblind Mode</td><td>Off, Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia</td><td>Changes the color palette of HUD accents.</td></tr><tr><td>HUD Flashing</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables flashing HUD animations.</td></tr><tr><td>High Contrast Display</td><td>Off, Setting 1, Setting 2, Setting 3</td><td>Mutes environment colors and adds distinct contrast coloring to allies, enemies, items, and interactive objects.<br/>When enabled, use |touchpad-swipe-left| to toggle high contrast display.</td></tr><tr><td>Screen Magnifier</td><td>Off, Low, Medium, High</td><td>Magnifies a section of the screen.<br/>Lightly double tap touch pad to quickly toggle zoom.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Motion Sickness</h2>
<p class="">Simulated 3D movement can be a source of motion sickness for many players. To create a more visually comfortable experience, there’s options to adjust camera shake, motion blur, camera follow distance, and even field of view. There’s also an option for a persistent white dot in the center of the screen, which can alleviate the sensation.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Camera Shake</td><td>1 to 10 Slider</td><td>Adjust the intensity of camera shake.</td></tr><tr><td>Motion Blur</td><td>1 to 10 Slider</td><td>Adjust the intensity of the motion blur effect.</td></tr><tr><td>Camera Distance</td><td>-5 to +5 Slider</td><td>Adjust the distance of the 3rd person camera.<br/>Increasing this value moves the camera further from the player.<br/>Decreasing this value moves the camera closer to the player.</td></tr><tr><td>Field of View</td><td>-5 to +5 Slider</td><td>Adjust the field of view of the 3rd person camera.<br/>Increasing this value makes the field of view wider.<br/>Decreasing this value makes the field of view narrower.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Full Screen Effects</strong></td><td><strong>On or Off</strong></td><td><strong>Enables screen effects that indicate player status.</strong></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Persistent Center Dot</strong></td><td><strong>On or Off</strong></td><td><strong>Displays a persistent reticle in the center of the screen, hidden during cinematics and while aiming.</strong></td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Navigation and Traversal</h2>
<p class="">Included are ways for blind and low-vision players to navigate the game world. Navigation Assistance can be used to guide you along the golden path of story progression or you can use Enhanced Listen Mode to go off and find enemies or pickups instead. To help you move through the game world, there are options for simplified traversal input, ledge guard, and the ability to skip puzzles altogether.  </p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Navigation Assistance</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Pressing |L3| faces the camera in the direction of story progression, marking the path to follow.<br/>If <strong>Enhanced Listen Mode</strong> is also enabled, then pressing |L3| while in listen mode (hold |R1|) will instead direct the player towards the most recently scanned item or enemy.</td></tr><tr><td>Traversal Assistance</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables simplified traversal input.<br/>• Press |X| to automatically perform certain difficult jumps.<br/>• Automatically climb ledges and squeeze through small gaps.<br/>• Automatically vault small obstacles while on the horse.<br/>• Automatically sprint in certain encounters.</td></tr><tr><td>Ledge Guard</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Guards against falling off ledges with additional audio and vibration feedback.<br/>Prevents you from falling from ledges that will kill you.</td></tr><tr><td>Enhanced Listen Mode</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables the ability to scan for items |circle| and enemies |square| while in listen mode.<br/>Send out a scan triggering audio cues at the target’s location. The pitch of the sound changes based on the target’s height relative to you.<br/>If <strong>Navigation Assistance</strong> is also enabled, then pressing |L3| while in listen mode will direct the player towards the most recently scanned item or enemy.</td></tr><tr><td>Scan Range</td><td>10m – 30m Slider</td><td>Adjust the maximum distance of <strong>Enhanced Listen Mode</strong> scans.</td></tr><tr><td>Scan Time</td><td>1s – 5s Slider</td><td>Adjust time for an <strong>Enhanced Listen Mode</strong> scan to reach its maximum distance.</td></tr><tr><td>Infinite Breath</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables infinite breath while swimming underwater.</td></tr><tr><td>Skip Puzzle Option</td><td>On or Off</td><td>When in a puzzle, select <strong>SKIP PUZZLE</strong> from the pause menu to advance to the puzzle’s completion.<br/>This setting is highly recommended for players who are blind or have low vision because some puzzle progression may not be fully accessible.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Text-to-Speech and Audio Cues</h2>
<p class="">Any information that is only represented visually is unavailable to a blind player. There are several options to convey this information through sound and controller vibration instead. Traversal and Combat Audio Cues work alongside the game’s audio to map easily identifiable sounds to commonly used actions (scavenging pickups, jumping across gaps, etc.). These audio cues are cataloged in an audio glossary that you can refer back to at any time. Additionally, menus and other on-screen text can be voiced using the Screen Reader option. For those that have their language set to English and Screen Reader enabled at the console level, The Last of Us Part I will automatically enable Screen Reader for you in-game.</p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>* Screen Reader features available in all supported languages**, except for Thai</em></p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em><em>** Supported Screen Reader languages include: English, UK English, French, Italian, German, Danish, Turkish, Russian, Czech, Greek, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Croatian, LATAM Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese</em> </em></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Combat Accessibility</h2>
<p class="">Because combat in The Last of Us Part I should be accessible for all players, there are a number of options that can significantly alter the gameplay experience. For instance, the Invisibility Toggle feature allows you to experience stealth gameplay that might otherwise be inaccessible. If you have difficulty aiming, you can give yourself more time by enabling Slow Motion while aiming. The goal is to provide you with all the tools you need to make the combat experience enjoyable and challenging.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Enable Combat Accessibility</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables the combat accessibility settings.<br/>These settings are designed to make combat accessible for all players.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HUD</h2>
<p class="">If you’re deaf, hard-of-hearing, or need to play at low or no volume, you may not be able to access gameplay information that is only represented through audio. To address this discrepancy, Naughty Dog has included several options to display this information visually instead. Awareness Indicators allow you to determine when you’re being spotted in stealth; they also can be set to persist during combat, pointing in the direction of high-threat enemies.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Damage Indicators</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables HUD spikes in the direction damage was taken.</td></tr><tr><td>Awareness Indicators</td><td>Off, Stealth, Always</td><td>Enables HUD element warning you when enemies are about to spot you and from which direction.<br/><strong>STEALTH</strong>: Awareness indicators display until you are spotted.<br/><strong>ALWAYS</strong>: Awareness indicators persist during combat.

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Subtitles</h2>
<p class="">Subtitles are an extremely popular accessibility feature, so the studio provided a wide array of customization options for them. You can tweak the size and color, add a dark background for contrast, enable speaker names, and even a directional arrow for offscreen speakers. You can enable subtitles for all systemic enemy dialogue during stealth and combat.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-table table-first-column-width-10 is-style-ps-store"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Setting</strong></td><td><strong>Options</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Subtitles</td><td>Off, Story Dialogue, Story + Combat Dialogue</td><td>Enables subtitles for spoken dialogue.<br/><strong>STORY DIALOGUE</strong>: Enables subtitles for main characters, important enemy dialogue, and cinematics.<br/><strong>COMBAT DIALOGUE</strong>: Enables subtitles for additional enemy dialogue while in stealth and combat.</td></tr><tr><td>Size</td><td>Small, Medium, Large</td><td>Adjust the size of subtitle text.</td></tr><tr><td>Background</td><td>Off, Default, Darkened</td><td>Enables a dark background behind subtitles to improve legibility.</td></tr><tr><td>Names</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Displays the name of the speaker with the subtitle.</td></tr><tr><td>Name Colors</td><td>On or Off</td><td>When subtitle <strong>Names</strong> are enabled, displays the names with a unique color per speaker.</td></tr><tr><td>Direction</td><td>On or Off</td><td>Enables an arrow next to subtitles indicating the screen-relative direction of the person speaking.<br/>Does not display for on-screen speakers.</td></tr><tr><td>Color</td><td>White, Yellow, Blue, Red, Green</td><td>Changes the color of subtitle text.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Game Difficulty</h2>
<p class="">As an extension of the accessibility features, The Last of Us Part I also includes expanded difficulty options. At launch, there are six different challenge levels: Very Light, Light, Moderate, Hard, Survivor, and Grounded. You can customize specific aspects of difficulty to your needs or desired experience. You can individually tweak difficulty settings related to incoming damage, enemy and ally effectiveness, stealth, and resources. Trophies are not limited by difficulty.</p>

<p class="">Hello, PlayStation nation. </p>
<p class="has-default-font">Today, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Savage Game Studios, a hugely talented team of creatives with many years of experience making some of the most popular mobile games enjoyed by players around the world. They were founded a few years ago with the goal of fearlessly exploring bold new ideas. We share their tireless ambition to innovate, along with a continued drive to expand our audience and bring PlayStation to more people than ever before, making them a perfect fit to join PlayStation Studios.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">I’ll turn it over to Michail Katkoff, CEO and Co-founder of Savage Game Studios, for proper introductions:</p>
<p class=""><em>Thanks, Hermen, and hello everyone in the PlayStation community! </em></p>
<p class=""><em>Established in 2020 and led by myself and fellow Co-founders Nadjim Adjir and Michael McManus, Savage Game Studios was born of our many years of mobile game development experience spanning a number of massively successful global IP. Our guiding vision was a creative space where experimentation and taking risks weren’t warily avoided, but rather eagerly embraced. We’ve all worked at big studios and while we respect the advantages of ample resources, we wanted to stay small and nimble so we could call our own shots.</em></p>
<p class=""><em>“So why then,” you may be thinking to yourself, “would you join PlayStation Studios?” We made this deal because we believe that PlayStation Studios’ leadership respects our vision for how we can best operate and succeed, and because they too are not afraid to take chances. All of that, plus the ability to potentially tap into PlayStation’s amazing catalog of IP and the fact that we will benefit from the kind of support that only they can provide… The harder question to answer would be “why not?”</em></p>
<p class="has-default-font"><em>On behalf of everybody at Savage Game Studios, thank you for having us. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!</em></p>
<p class="has-default-font">As we assured you before with our plans to bring select titles to PC, our efforts beyond console in no way diminish our commitment to the PlayStation community, nor our passion to keep making amazing single-player, narrative-driven experiences. It’s been a tremendous year for games on PS5 and PS4, with huge releases including Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, MLB The Show 22, and on November 9th, the highly anticipated God of War: Ragnarök. PlayStation VR2 is also on the horizon, and promises a huge leap forward in presence and immersion, bolstered by best-in-class software like Horizon: Call of the Mountain. We’re proud of our releases on PC as well, with <em>Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered</em> and the upcoming <em>Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection </em>giving gamers without PlayStation hardware a taste of our amazing library of first-party titles.</p>
<p class="">Our mobile gaming efforts will be similarly additive, providing more ways for more people to engage with our content, and striving to reach new audiences unfamiliar with PlayStation and our games. Savage Game Studios is joining a newly created PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, which will operate independently from our console development and focus on innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP.</p>
<p class="">I hope you’ll join me in welcoming Savage Game Studios into the fold, and that those of you who enjoy mobile gaming in addition to console or PC will look forward to what they have in store. They’re already working on a new unannounced AAA mobile live service action game. It’s too early to reveal more, but I’m so excited for when they’ll be able to.</p>
<p class="">Wishing good health and happiness to you and your loved ones!</p>

<p class="">The iconic trench-coat sporting antagonist Albert Wesker, feared (and respected) by Resident Evil players worldwide. The dexterous and enigmatic Ada Wong, whose survival skills make her a valuable ally – provided interests remain aligned. The S.T.A.R.S. Field Medic Rebecca Chambers, whose medical brilliance keeps teammates alive and inspired. </p>
<p class="">Every character comes with 3 unique perks, which must remain thematically appropriate and engaging from a gameplay standpoint. It’s a meticulous process for the design team, especially when these perks are extensions of beloved characters from an established and acclaimed series. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The perk process</h2>
<p class="">As Game Designer – <em>and experienced Resident Evil player</em> – Aram Tab explains, there are many stages involved in bringing a perk into Dead by Daylight. “Coming up with a roster of perk ideas is usually the first step,” he explains. “There are three priorities when conceptualizing perks:<strong> </strong>gameplay, synergy, and character themes.” </p>
<p class="">“I speak with the Killer Designer and the narrative team before laying out a perk roster,” explains Aram. “That roster usually consists of 12 perks per character, and then we have a discussion with the entire design team. I present them one by one, we have conversations, and I take notes. I’m responsible for gathering the information from those discussions, making a summary, and adjusting to feedback accordingly. The design team have a lot of experience with the game, and they always give amazing feedback.”</p>
<p class="">From there, Aram whittles down the perk roster by half into a restrained roster, eliminating candidates that may feel out of character or lacking from a gameplay perspective. After another round of discussions, the restrained roster is narrowed down to the final three. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dead by Daylight: Resident Evil: Project W’s perks</h2>
<p class="">Wesker, known in-game as The Mastermind, brings three new perks into the pool: Awakened Awareness, Superior Anatomy, and Terminus. </p>
<p class="">“Wesker is a classic archetype – The Mastermind, who stops at nothing to achieve his goals,” explains Aram. “The Virulent Bound Power our Killer Designer came up with is fast paced, and I wanted to keep that momentum going with his perks. Superior Anatomy allows you to close the gap on Survivors with a super-quick vault. Combined with his Power, this makes him truly dangerous in a chase.”</p>
<p class="">“Awakened Awareness is a fun one, as Wesker cannot be fooled. He’s always one step ahead. Sometimes in Dead by Daylight, you’ll hook a Survivor, walk away, and that Survivor is instantly unhooked. With Awakened Awareness, they won’t be able to sneak up on you because you’ll see their Aura.  As for Terminus, it’s pure Wesker. His final plan is revealed at the end of the game, and now you’re in big trouble.”</p>

<p class="">This Chapter also brings two new Survivors into The Fog: Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers. </p>
<p class="">“Ada is my favorite character from Resident Evil, so it was a lot of fun to make perks for her<em>,” </em>says Aram, laughing. “When I shared the full perk suggestion roster with the team, the votes were split. I really had to work my way around the restrained roster and find the best fit. When you’re in that situation, you use the elements I mentioned before: does it have good synergy? Is it good by itself? Is it thematic? Does it allow for interesting gameplay situations?” </p>
<p class="">The second new Survivor is S.T.A.R.S. field medic Rebecca Chambers, and the team came up with three perks that capture her altruistic presence in inventive ways. Yet one perk in particular – Hyperfocus –<strong> </strong>features a complex activation mechanic seldom seen in Dead by Daylight. </p>
<p class="">“This one is for the players who think they can hit every Skill Check,” says Aram. “When it comes to Skill Checks, new players tend to miss them a lot while experienced players hit them with ease. We wanted to see how <em>easy</em> it really is. We playtested it, and we had a bunch of very experienced players missing Skill Checks because they were greedy for the bonus – which is exactly what this perk is about. Oh, you’re good at Skill Checks? Prove it. There’s a stacking bonus, but you must chain Great Skill Checks that get progressively harder.”</p>
<p class="">“I only tolerated that degree of complexity because I found the perk super interesting,” he notes. “If a perk is hard to understand, you have to be satisfied with its potential.” </p>
<p class="">As Dead by Daylight players know, this latest Chapter includes the first perks following a major overhaul to the meta. “Before the latest update, many of the same perks were being used repeatedly,” explains Aram. “We felt it was important to shake things up.” This presented the design team with a unique challenge: to continue building on this exciting foundation. </p>
<p class="">“It’s an entirely new perk environment,” reflects Aram. “Upon discussing with my fellow designers, we concluded that the new content needed to align with the mentality the update was trying to capture. If you look at the new Chapter for example, Wesker is all about detection and chase. It’s a very conscious decision, and we wanted to put emphasis on parts of the game that may have been forgotten. This new content will provide some exciting options for build variety.”</p>

<p class="">Temtem is launching next month, at last! Whether you’re a first-time Tamer or experienced adventurer, the world of Temtem is huge and there’s lots to learn and master. Since we know the game like the back of our hands, we’re here to provide some guidance to help you become the ultimate Temtem Tamer.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Learn the basics of combat, and don’t expect to always win</h2>
<p class="">Combat in the Archipelago is challenging, so training a variety of Tems is absolutely necessary. Learning about Temtem types and their matchups is a must, and remember that combat has no RNG factor, so it’s only you, your Tems, and your knowledge that will earn you a victory. </p>
<p class="">Just some of the factors you’ll need to keep an eye out for in battle are what Status Conditions are in effect, what Gears the other Tems carry, and whether you have enough Stamina to attack. Don’t be afraid to switch your Tems in combat, and check your Battle Log if you really want to become the ultimate Trainer.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enjoy the company</h2>
<p class="">Playing Temtem solo is great, but did you know the entire Temtem campaign can be played in cooperative mode? Communicate with other players with chat and emotes, and use the Friend list to trade, inspect, spectate… Co-op with Tamers around you, or check to see if any Club catches your eye—and if you and your Club are up to the task, you might get to control a Dojo through the lucrative Dojo Wars. Did we mention Temtem has cross-play? Play with anyone on any platform from the comfort of your PS5.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Explore the entire Archipelago</h2>
<p class="">Venture off the beaten path. Many quests with juicy rewards and fun lore lie outside the main story, and some Kudos—Temtem’s take on achievements—will require you to have visited all locations. Once you reach Arbury, you’ll be able to unlock a Mount to make getting around much easier. Temtem has a lot of secrets and hidden Easter eggs scattered all over the world, so keep your eyes peeled as you explore.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Careful about Lumas</h2>
<p class="">Lumas are the ultimate goal for many Tamers: sparkly, differently colored versions of Tems, with a minimum of three perfect stats. They’re also fairly rare, but there are some smart strategies to help:</p>
<p class="">You can obtain Radars in Tamer’s Paradise, the endgame island. Radars give you 300 encounters with one Temtem species, with bonuses to their SVs and Luma chances as you progress. There’s also the Saipark on Deniz Island, which will feature two different Tems each week with better stats or Luma chances. You could also use the very valuable Luma fertility from any of your Lumas to create eggs with better chances. Lastly, if you can overcome the challenge, the Lair in Tamer’s Paradise will let you obtain eggs from the Temtem of your choice with significantly increased Luma odds. Whichever approach you choose, keep in mind it’s all a matter of luck, so go easy on yourself.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Find a playstyle that suits you</h2>
<p class="">If you decide to wander into the world of Tamer vs. Tamer combat, Temtem offers lots of options. You can duel your besties to a friendly battle anytime, or test the waters against other players on the ranked ladder (doing placement matches will give you an idea of how you fare against everyone else). You can join weekly tournaments to prove your mastery, and if you’re in a Club, the weekly Dojo Wars are where the best Clubs clash and prove their competitive savvy.</p>

https://gfycat.com/aromaticpresentlarva
</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Express yourself</h2>
<p class="">Temtem offers endless possibilities for personalization so you can express yourself to your fellow players, including choosing your body type, walking animation, pronouns, and clothing options (most of which can be dyed more than once). There’s cool Sprays to show off your favorite Temtem or vibe, Temcard Seals make sure your Tems come out to the battle in style, and Battle Outro animations that make winning an even sweeter feat. You might want to complete the Housing quest to obtain your very own home in Atoll Row, which you can decorate in and out.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Attempt hardcore content</h2>
<p class="">The end of the main story is just the beginning. A handful of features await you, from repeatable, challenging activities like Dojo and Archtamers rematches, to Co-op friendly endeavors like the Mythical Lairs and the Digital Lair. Tamer’s Paradise, the last island on the Archipelago, is home to a handful of new modes that will put your skills and brains to the test.</p>
