<p class="">Discover spectacular new prehistoric species, three new islands, detailed Mediterranean inspired buildings, and an all-new campaign in Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion.  </p>
<p class="">Tying into Universal’s and Amblin’s recent blockbuster, Jurassic World Dominion, you’ll experience new challenges and exciting opportunities that massively expand the scope of the film. Set just before the movie’s dramatic events, you’ll help lead an ambitious Malta-based enterprise. Work alongside Cabot Finch and key figures from the film, including Kayla Watts (voiced by DeWanda Wise), Soyona Santos (voiced by Dichen Lachman), Barry Sembène (voiced by Omar Sy), and Lewis Dodgson (voiced by Campbell Scott) as you set up parks across three sunny Mediterranean islands.</p>

<p class="">In Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion, you’ll establish key buildings, develop your sites, and trade on the dinosaur exchange to acquire more species, eggs, and even genome data. But be warned: the Authorities and the Underground are both taking a keen interest in your operation. Who you choose to align with unlocks more ways to expand your parks, so build trust with these organisations and you’ll earn anything from hatchery upgrades to accessing new islands. There are three in total, and progress is persistent across these islands. Switch between them on the fly, or even bring over dinosaurs on the cargo ship – it’s entirely up to you.</p>
<p class="">As well as a deep new campaign packed with fresh gameplay features, Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion of course brings you stunning new prehistoric species, variants and skins, as seen in Jurassic World Dominion. Authentically created to mirror their film counterparts, these iconic prehistoric species are ready to give guests an unforgettable experience. </p>

<p class="">Firstly, there’s the infamous Atrociraptor. Arguably even more dangerous than its Velociraptor cousins, the Atrociraptor has a bulkier body and boxier snout. Coloration varies wildly between individuals so get ready to take your pick. </p>
<p class="">Another species is the Lystrosaurus. A short, squat herbivore with powerful forelimbs and an unusually shaped skull, which lived around 250 million years ago. The Lystrosaurus is notable for its tusks and horned beak, used to bite bits of vegetation. </p>
<p class="">Next, the Oviraptor, a smaller predator with a distinctive head crest and a unique feathered look.  Originally believed to steal eggs of other dinosaurs, it was dubbed the ‘Egg Thief’ but it has since been understood to be an omnivore, with a powerful jaw for its size.</p>
<p class="">And then there’s Moros Intrepidus, a diminutive carnivore and one of the smallest Tyrannosauroids to have ever existed. But don’t take Moros Intrepidus lightly, despite being only a fraction of the size of its famous relative, the T. rex, it is known to be a quick and nimble hunter.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52522699301_0d2fc18eeb_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52522699301_0d2fc18eeb_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">In addition, Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion features stunning new variants and skins for existing species. The new-look Iguanodon, Allosaurus, Dimorphodon variants and new Carnotaurus skin are all inspired by their appearances in Jurassic World Dominion, so give your dinosaurs a bold new look with these fresh patterns and colours.</p>
<p class="">From choosing your dinosaurs to designing your parks, the DLC pack also lets you unleash your creativity with a new range of film-inspired buildings. These include the new Acquisition Centre, viewing gallery, hotel, and more. Seat your ranger, MVU, and capture teams in vehicles with new skins, and add exciting decorations to make your parks stand out. You can build across three beautiful Mediterranean locations, and even take advantage of the game’s first natural lagoon – perfect for aquatic species. All Malta buildings are available to use in sandbox mode.</p>

<p class="">We cannot wait for you to play our fifth feature-packed DLC for Jurassic World Evolution 2. Whether you want to take the film further with authentically recreated dinosaurs and a gripping narrative, or make your mark and develop a profitable network of parks in a rich and immersive campaign, Jurassic World Evolution 2: Dominion Malta Expansion is coming 8 December to PS5 and PS4.</p>

<p class="">Hello, Gliders! I’m Greg, Creative Director at Shedworks. The team and I are excited to finally get Sable into your hands on Playstation 5! It’s been a lot of hard work from the team and we think you’ll love some of the new features and content. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52532024730_1ba234fc26_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52532024730_1ba234fc26_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">For those of you who are not yet familiar with Sable, this game is a coming-of-age adventure set in the world of Midden. Our main character Sable embarks on her Gliding, a journey of self-discovery that will take her to scenic vistas, remote encampments, and ancient ruins, all the while meeting friends and strangers on the way. By helping them, she will learn more about their ways of life, see new sides of herself, and ultimately choose the mask she wants to wear for the rest of her life. </p>
<p class="">The mask is an exploration of identity. Everyone in Midden undertakes a ceremony called “The Gliding” as they reach adulthood, where they travel the world and try on many different masks until they finally find the one that suits them best. Their chosen mask is part of how they present themselves to the world. Will they choose to follow a particular craft or role in society? Or will they choose a mask that symbolises a rejection of convention?</p>
<p class="">Our aim with Sable is to trust you as the player: once Sable leaves her family, we open up the game completely and give you the freedom to encounter any location, quest, or activity in any order you like. Every single quest in the game is optional. This means you can pick and choose what parts of Midden interest you and which characters you want to learn more about. What you do is driven by your own fancy and we hope this will awaken your curiosity and wanderlust, where adventure can lie around any corner.</p>
<p class="">In addition to the freedom of exploring, it was important for us to make a game that was inclusive, warm, and welcoming to all travellers. This included representation of people with different sexual and gender identities. We also wanted to emphasize that you are not participating in combat. We want you to focus on exploring the world without being distracted by enemies or violence.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52523277288_779a5d5761_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52523277288_779a5d5761_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">The team has been working hard to make this release extra special for you. The Playstation launch is bundled with the game’s biggest content update yet, which centers around the brand-new fishing mini-game. </p>
<p class="">In the land of Midden, fish populate the desert sands rather than the waters of the oasis. To get started, you’ll want to visit the Angler’s Hut in Sansee and have a chat with the Angler who will provide Sable with her very first fishing rod. Once equipped with the rod, you can cast off anywhere you fancy and be sure that something will bite! Assist the Angler with their requests, and Sable may even be rewarded with the new Angler Mask. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52523277313_63c3289221_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52523277313_63c3289221_k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">In The Wash, Sable can find another new location. The Vivarium displays local flora and fauna, but the head Researcher needs Sable’s help with completing the collection. Sable can turn in any fish or butterflies she has collected so far on her journey, which will populate the halls of the Vivarium on her next visit. </p>
<p class="">Finally, we wanted to take this opportunity to make exploring Midden an even more immersive experience by utilizing the DualSense controller. You will feel the adaptive trigger resistance as you drive Sable’s bike, Simoon, across the dunes. The haptic feedback will hum as Sable hovers in the gliding orb, shake as grand movements happen around her, and it will even give you a hint if she is close to a hidden collectible or a bug ripe for catching. </p>
<p class="">We hope that you will enjoy your adventure in Midden and that Sable’s journey will not only help you discover something new about her but maybe something about yourself, as well.</p>
<p class="">Sable is available for Playstation 5 as a digital download in the Playstation Store <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10001007/">now.</a></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kicking off with a special launch program</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New features on PlayStation Tournaments for PS5</h2>
<p class="">Thanks to community feedback, we have introduced some new features that make it quick and easy to take part in tournaments on PS5, including:</p>
<p class=""><strong>An easy discovery process:</strong> Tournaments are easy to find. Scroll to the relevant game on your PS5 home screen and press the down directional button to see a list of upcoming tournaments. Alternatively, view available tournaments by launching the Control Center with a tap of the PS button while playing a supported game.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sign up on console</strong>: Signing up is quicker than ever. From the Control Center or Game Hub, simply select an available tournament and press the “Register” button to enter a competition.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52520272078_01c4ecc169_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52520272078_01c4ecc169_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""><strong>Bracket capping</strong>: Tournament length traditionally increases as more players compete. However, we have introduced a new bracket capping feature to ensure a standard duration for every tournament. If the cap is exceeded, multiple brackets will be created for the same tournament – but prizing will remain the same for each.</p>
<p class=""><strong>More tournaments: </strong>Everyone has different schedules. Tournaments will take place more often, and at regular intervals, so more players can find the time to compete.</p>
<p class=""><strong>All-new UI: </strong>The brand-new tournament UI utilizes the activity card framework to let you easily view tournament information. Notifications will automatically carry you through the experience, and you’ll be alerted when your next match is starting. The tournament can be launched from the notification, giving you time to train up in-game, or even play other titles between matches.</p>
<p class=""><strong>View automatic and real-time results</strong>: After registering for a tournament, all relevant details can be accessed via the corresponding activity card in the Control Center.</p>
<p class="">Results are automatically displayed and reported as the matches progress.</p>
<p class="">The status of the full tournament bracket is also viewable in the tournament card at any time.</p>

<p class=""><strong>Exciting prizing: </strong>Anyone eligible can sign up to win prizes, regardless of skill level.</p>
<p class="">Prizes can range from cash, in-game currency, PlayStation consoles or accessories, experiences, and even special collectibles received just for taking part.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Introducing a new Discord community hub</h2>
<p class="">PlayStation Tournaments on PS5 will also coincide with the launch of a new PlayStation Tournaments Discord server. Players will be able to connect here to engage more deeply with the PlayStation competitive community.

</div>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s a 3rd-person platform fighter?</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Everybody was platform fighting – </strong>The core combat of DKO is inspired by the 2D platform fighters everyone grew up playing (and loving). You damage enemies to make them vulnerable, then you knock them out of the arena with a smashing blow. Simple, right?</p>
<p class=""><strong>Into the third dimension! – </strong>Wrong. DKO is something brand new: a <em>3rd-person</em> platform fighter. When you throw out Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, it doesn’t just go off to the right of the screen; you have to aim at your target. If you want to chase down a fleeing Ymir, you’ll need your 3D platforming skills to jump between platforms. It’s somehow both familiar and something you’ve never played before – and it’s <em>very</em> fun.</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/testyhilariouselephantbeetle
</div></figure>
<p class=""><strong>Years of iteration – </strong>The dev team at Red Beard Games has been working on DKO for three-plus years, trying to discover just what a 3rd-person platform fighter really <em>is.</em> They’ve playtested dozens of drastically different versions of DKO as experiments. One was more of a “physics shooter” than a platform fighter, the devs say – not a surprise considering the core team was behind the indie cult classic Sky Noon. But over the years and experiments, they found the secret sauce of DKO.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Execution, not dexterity –</strong> Success in DKO comes down to positioning and timing, not memorizing combos or difficult inputs. Each character has light and heavy attacks that can be chained into combos, and a dodge to evade blows or reposition. But characters are truly defined by their three abilities (which go on cooldown after use), and a game-changing ultimate ability – Watch out when King Arthur summons the might of his legendary sword Excalibur!</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Make the Gods your own</h2>
<p class=""><strong>The Mightiest Gods of Myth</strong><strong> – </strong>The playable characters put the “Divine” into Divine Knockout. You’ll play as a legendary god of mythology in DKO; do you want to hurl boulders as Hercules or master the katana as Susano? These gods come from all the world’s myths, with the 10 Gods available at launch representing the Japanese, Greek, Roman, Norse, and Arthurian pantheons. Devs say more pantheons and Gods will be added regularly.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Adorable anime styling </strong><strong>– </strong>The gods of DKO are reinterpreted in a charming chibi art style, inspired by the chibi god skins in the hit action MOBA Smite. Red Beard Games’ amazing art team took this inspiration to an all-new level with the full power of Unreal Engine 4, adding anime-style cel shading and reworking proportions so that combat remains readable. Somehow, even the Greek God of Death, Thanatos, looks downright huggable in this stunning game.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Play your way</strong><strong> – </strong>Though DKO is launching with 10 Gods, it’s launching with hundreds of ways to play each god. A deep system of Talents lets you define your own playstyle for each God. As Athena, for example, you can be a long-ranged spear thrower, a teamwork-focused shieldbearer, or an agile martial expert – all on the same god, just by equipping new Talents. Red Beard Games assures us the system is not pay-to-win; all players always start with a full loadout of Talents, and additional playtime unlocks additional options – not additional power.</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The battlegrounds of the Gods</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Arenas that fight back – </strong>You won’t be fighting in boring, lifeless stages in DKO. Each of the seven levels at launch features a unique mechanic that you’ll have to master to win. One level crumbles away as you fight, slowly reducing the fighting area – and making the action more hectic. Another challenges players to avoid deadly spinning spikes – or smash enemies into them!</p>
<p class=""><strong>“Arcade” adventures –</strong> In DKO’s core 3v3 Arcade mode, each round is a new adventure, with a new map – and a new mode. In this best-of-5 game, you’ll roam across arenas and play a variety of game modes like Knockout, King of the Hill, and Oddball. This more casual, teamwork-centric mode is a blast to play with friends, almost giving off party game vibes.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Competitive Duels – </strong>If you’re the kind of player that wants the most competitive possible experience, DKO’s 1v1 and 2v2 duels are for you. These heart-pounding matches are focused entirely on combat mastery, and are set on 7 unique smaller, simpler stages made specifically for duels.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Gods play on PlayStation</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Optimized for PlayStation 5 – </strong>DKO plays great on PS4, but the devs at Red Beard Games put in the extra effort to build a PS5-native version that takes advantage of the extra horsepower. Expect 120 FPS, 4K gameplay on PS5.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Included with PlayStation Plus – </strong>That’s right – all PlayStation Plus subscribers get the Founders Edition of DKO at no extra cost. This $24.99 MSRP edition includes access to the game, eight playable Gods (Amaterasu, Sol, Hercules, Susano, Ymir, Athena, Thor, and King Arthur), and some sweet exclusive cosmetics like the Epic-level Biohazard Sol skin.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Cross-platform – </strong>If your friends don’t play on PlayStation, don’t worry: DKO fully supports cross-play. You can invite friends to parties, play in custom games, or matchmake online across all supported platforms. And if you play on multiple platforms (like, say, your work PC when the boss isn’t watching), you can also take all your unlocks with you thanks to cross-progression.</p>

<p class="">If you’re as excited about DKO as we are, you don’t have to wait long to play it. DKO launches on PS5 and PS4 on December 6, with the Founders Edition included with PlayStation Plus.</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Hey everyone! I’m Jake Solomon, creative director at Firaxis Games, and the good folks at PlayStation have asked me to share some of my top tips for Marvel’s Midnight Suns, which comes out tomorrow on December 2.</p>
<p class="">Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the latest title coming out of Firaxis Games, whom you may know as the creators of Civilization and XCOM. It’s a deep tactical RPG set in the darker side of the Marvel Universe, where you get to lead and live among Marvel legends from across The Avengers, Runaways, X-Men, and more. You’ll play as The Hunter, the first customizable original Marvel hero, and take on Lilith, the Mother of Demons (and your actual mother in the game). Now, let’s jump right in!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52533398293_7c584b5bc2_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52533398293_7c584b5bc2_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Building your perfect squad</strong></h2>
<p class="">There are three things to think about when building a squad: what type of mission am I going on? Who is mandatory on that mission? And who do I want to improve and level up?</p>
<p class="">In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, we have several types of missions that each have different objectives. Some missions you will be tasked with protecting a VIP who is guarded by a tough enemy that you need to take down first. Other missions may have you defending objectives from the forces of Hydra and Lilith. The type of mission can help you figure out whether you need strong single-target damage dealers like Captain Marvel, or someone who can really spread the love with Blade.</p>
<p class="">Second, every mission in Marvel’s Midnight Suns has a required hero that you need to take. Story missions all require The Hunter, while general missions can require anyone on the roster. Depending on who is required, you can shift your strategy around that. For example, if a mission requires Doctor Strange – you’ll know that you have no trouble generating Heroism but you may have a bit of a challenge in doing damage. Having an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each hero can help you build that ideal team.</p>
<p class="">Finally, you’ll want to consider which heroes you want to get stronger. In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, all abilities are represented as cards, and the only way to earn more cards to further empower your abilities is through playing missions. The more you play as a hero, the more you unlock their abilities – so sticking with your favorite team has its benefits!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52532386277_667f6e08ff_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52532386277_667f6e08ff_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The power of friendship</h2>
<p class="">Marvel’s Midnight Suns features a Friendship system where your off-the-battlefield discussions and Hang Outs with your fellow heroes have big bonuses for on-the-battlefield. You earn Friendship through several activities – picking the appropriate dialogue when talking to heroes, hanging out with them, giving them their favorite gifts and even complimenting them. The more you understand a Hero, the better chance you’ll have in gaining those valuable Friendship points.</p>
<p class="">What’s not as well known is that in addition to individual Friendship levels with each Hero, there is a Team Friendship level that you’ll increase as you gain Friendship with everyone. Improving Friendship with your fellow Heroes can result in an increase in your Team Friendship, unlocking combo abilities, improving the power of your compliments and more.</p>
<p class="">And those on-battlefield bonuses can be true game changers. One of my favorites include Iron Man’s passive I’ll Handle This, which grants Redraws when you play multiple Iron Man abilities in one turn. Iron Man can use those redraws to increase the power of his abilities… and you’ll want to play those buffed abilities, which means you’ll continuously reactivate his passive throughout combat. He can snowball really quickly if you play your cards right!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take your time and have fun</h2>
<p class="">With Marvel’s Midnight Suns, we set out to create a game that you can really play at your own pace, at your own difficulty. We want this to be something that anyone can pick-up and play, whether you’re just looking for a great Marvel story or if you want to really test yourself at Ultimate III difficulty. There’s no time-constraint on when you need to complete missions, and there’s no limit to how many general missions you can go on.</p>
<p class="">Don’t forget to explore the Abbey grounds, too – surrounding your supernatural secret base are even more mysteries for you to solve. Expect to earn abilities, find ingredients for crafting, and you even be the one to unlock all the secrets of the mysterious Blood.</p>
<p class="">Hopefully these tips both prepare you for what you’ll play when the game comes out and gets you excited about all of the combat and story potential for you to explore. Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be available on PlayStation 5 on December 2.</p>

It’s a one-of-a-kind mashup of first person shooter, platformer, puzzle game, topped off with a social link system where you can get to know your fellow dead assassins.</p>

<p class="">That may sound like a lot, but it’s simple in practice: Kill every demon and reach the end of the level as fast as you can. Levels are bite-sized challenges built from the ground up to be rewarding to replay and optimize- this is achieved using the unique Soul Card system. Soul Cards serve as both your weapons and your movement abilities. For example, the Godspeed card is a high powered rifle that can kill demons, but if you discard it you execute a forward dash. You can take your time and finish a level by shooting demons, but if you want to do things quickly, you’ll have to sacrifice your weapons.</p>

<p class="">Neon White is all about speed, so one of our highest priorities was performance. It was important to us that the PlayStation 5 version runs at 120hz across the board. When precision matters, the high framerate makes a difference. We’ve also made the most of the system SSD to reduce load times significantly. It’s important that restarting levels is as quick and painless as possible. If you want to beat your friends’ leaderboard times, you’ll be restarting levels over and over again.</p>

<p class="">Neon White also makes use of PS5’s adaptive triggers to make each Soul Card feel unique when you fire them as well as when you discard. Controller Haptics provide an extra level of feedback on top of that. You’ll feel it when you’re moving faster on water and you’ll get a subtle confirmation when you successfully snipe a distant demon. Our goal wasn’t just to make you feel cool, but for you to develop a sixth sense. To turn you into a speedrunning freak.</p>

<p class="">Before you kick down the pearly gates, here are a few tips to help you optimize levels and earn those Ace medals:</p>
<p class=""><strong>Let discards do the work</strong></p>
<p class="">It’s tempting to hoard ammo to maximize your damage output. However, your goal is speed, not DPS. So here’s my tip: when possible, your discard should both move you <em>and</em> kill enemies at the same time. The Purify bomb discard might kill four enemies at once, but why not try jumping on it at the same time for a boost?</p>
<p class=""><strong>Aim with Gyro</strong></p>
<p class="">Neon White supports Gyroscope aiming using the DualSense controller, and I personally never play without it. Gyroscope aiming can take some getting used to, but it’s well worth it for an extra degree of fine-grained control when sniping demons from the start of a level.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Katana Tricks</strong></p>
<p class="">Neon White has a handful of secret features that can give you an edge over the competition. White’s default Katana card isn’t powerful on its own, but it can be used to deflect many enemy projectiles back at them, dealing extra damage. Successful parries with the Katana also give White a small speed boost, which is even more effective when White is airborne.</p>

</div></figure>
<p class="">Tips and techniques aside, the best way to experience the game is to jump in and try it for yourself. Neon White comes with all the tools you need to climb the leaderboards regardless of your level of experience. And if you don’t care about leaderboards, just play the first mission. Trust me, you will care about the leaderboards.</p>
<p class="">Neon White launches on PS5 and PS4 December 13.</p>

<p class="">The unassuming small-town terror of viral indie hit Hello Neighbor has returned, and let’s make it clear, these neighbors <em>do not </em>want any of your housewarming chili. An investigative journalist has come to the town of Raven Brooks with a mission: discover why folks are going missing and who might be responsible. And one particular resident is especially suspicious: the infamously creepy Mr. Peterson. The stocky, mustachioed man is the subject of many rumors and you’re the only one with the courage to dig up the truth. But the more you dig, the more it seems like the whole town is very strange. Build the tense atmosphere with open-world exploration and a story directly affected by your actions, then try to outsmart an AI constantly learning from player actions. There goes the neighborhood!</p>

<p class="">Heads up, hunters! Monster Hunter Rise is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on January 20, 2023. It’s been a little over two years since the release of the final update for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, so we’re thrilled to welcome PlayStation players to Kamura Village and back into the hunt.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Unleash your hunting spirit</h2>
<p class="">Monster Hunter Rise infuses the hunting experience you might be familiar with from Monster Hunter World and Iceborne with new acrobatic maneuvers enabled by the endemic life known as Wirebugs. Leap into the air, scale cliffs, and quickly traverse open environments with ease. Wirebugs allow for varied and unique special attacks for each of the 14 weapons in the game. Even if you’ve mastered a certain weapon in the past, these new abilities bring new skills to incorporate into your toolkit.</p>
<p class="">You’ll meet a brand new buddy type: the Palamute Canyne. In addition to providing support alongside the tried-and-true Palico Felyne companions, you’ll be able to ride on the back of a Palamute to swiftly make your way across each locale. Palamute riding is a great way to safely use items or sharpen your weapon in your time of need. Be sure to pet your Palamute too and show them some love for all their hard work.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So what are we hunting? </h2>
<p class="">The flagship monster Magnamalo leads a mix of new and returning monsters inspired by Japanese folklore. Known as the Wyvern of Malice, Magnamalo unleashes a deadly purple gas that consists of consumed monsters known as Hellfire, while also ferociously striking with its powerful claws and spear-tipped tail.</p>
<p class="">In addition to new monsters, returning favorites from previous Monster Hunter titles will also test your skills. Many of these monsters feature new moves and abilities over past games, and so even if you’re a seasoned vet that’s slain many Rathalos and Rathian throughout the years, you’ll certainly find a familiar but fresh experience in Monster Hunter Rise. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A new threat rises</h2>
<p class="">Monster Hunter Rise puts you in the shoes of a fully customizable fledgling hunter at the start of their journey. Over time, your skills will grow and you’ll tackle more and more challenging threats as you protect your hometown: the quiet and peaceful Kamura Village.</p>
<p class="">The peace of the village is threatened by the reemergence of Magnamalo and an onslaught of monsters known as the Rampage. 50 years ago, Kamura suffered devastating casualties from the same threat, but this time it’s up to you to fight the Rampage back and defend the village. Together with a vibrant cast of characters, you’ll fight back the impending threat and uncover the mystery of the rampaging monsters. </p>
<p class="">When you’ve got some downtime in Kamura, you’ll spend time with your friends in the village as you prepare for the next hunt. Improve your gear, get your buddies in order and eat some tasty dango.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hunting is better together</h2>
<p class="">Challenge yourself to slay a monster solo, or go online and team up with up to three others for cooperative hunting fun.* Communicate with other hunters in your lobby via in-game voice chat and enjoy the thrill of the hunt with friends or with other players online. Gather together in a lobby as you prepare for a hunt, or help out players on certain quests by responding to a join request. Players on either PS5 or PS4 also don’t need to be on the same platform to play together. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Become immersed in the hunt with PS5</h2>
<p class="">Hunters on PS5 have a few extra options to make for an even greater hunting experience. </p>
<p class="">Monster Hunter Rise on PS5 will launch with two performance options, both of which offer silky smooth gameplay and high resolution image quality: 4K resolution and up to 60 FPS, or 1080P resolution with up to 120 FPS with compatible screens. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534178139_be90a50879_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534178139_be90a50879_4k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">With 3D audio on PS5, get immersed in the experience even further with spatial sound that adds depth and makes you feel like you’re right there in the hunt.</p>
<p class="">Monster Hunter Rise takes advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers for added feedback and resistance with Gunner weapons, and a slight but impactful kick when blocking with a shield.  </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534440398_7bf5efb7aa_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534440398_7bf5efb7aa_4k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534177834_f9b15a2cd2_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534177834_f9b15a2cd2_4k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">Last but not certainly not least, Monster Hunter Rise has full trophy support across both PS5 and PS4, so you can track all of our hunting achievements (and brag to your friends about them).</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hundreds of hours…with more to come</h2>
<p class="">Monster Hunter Rise comes already loaded with a treasure trove of content, including the title updates and Event Quests for the base version of the game (up to version 10.0). Rest assured that there’s plenty to do here, and you’ll want to make sure you’re well equipped for what awaits…</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534372890_7e2b52d242_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534372890_7e2b52d242_4k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Later in Spring 2023, the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak massive expansion will take the hunt to the next level by introducing new Master Rank monsters, new locales, and an all new story full of challenging threats. While Monster Hunter Rise features new monsters inspired by Japanese folklore, Sunbreak introduces monsters from western folklore, like the vampire-inspired Elder Dragon Malzeno. </p>
<p class="">It’s safe to say there’s plenty to look forward to once you make your way through to base game.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The hunt is on</h2>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52533427552_a950a2351d_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52533427552_a950a2351d_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534372920_2e4a34d14a_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52534372920_2e4a34d14a_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">To recap, Monster Hunter Rise launches digitally on PS5 and PS4 on January 20, 2023. Preorders are available today and earn you a bonus adorable Layered Armor for your Palamute and Palico. You’ll also get a Novice Talisman to help you out in the early stages of the game.</p>
<p class="">If you’re looking for a bit of extra help getting through the early game, the Guild Cross armor and Legacy Talisman will be available for free to all players. This gear has high defense and useful skills to aid your progress through the early quests as you get more familiar with the hunting basics.    </p>
<p class="">Happy hunting! We hope that you enjoy your stay in Kamura.</p>

<p class="">The ‘Gran Turismo World Series’ 2022 in Monaco proved a fitting start to Gran Turismo’s 25<sup>th</sup> Anniversary celebrations. A four-day festival of racing saw three champions crowned, a new Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo unveiled, a tight Pro-Am race in which BWT Alpine F1 Team driver Esteban Ocon was just pipped for the win, another race between the GT Sophy AI agent and some of the leading World Series drivers, an online appearance by seven-time F1 World Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton, stunning cars on display, and plenty of opportunities for the Gran Turismo community to get involved and win prizes in-game.</p>

<p class="">First up was the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GT Cup on Thursday, 24 November. After two highly-competitive Semi-finals and a last-chance Repechage, 12 drivers lined up for the Grand Final, 30-laps around the Fuji International Speedway in the TOYOTA GR010 HYBRID – the real version of which was displayed at the event. It was 2018 Nations Cup champion, Brazilian Igor Fraga, who delivered a dominant performance to take the win and a trophy presented by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe’s Vice Chairman Kazuki Nakajima.</p>

<p class="">On Friday it was time to narrow a 30-driver Nations Cup field to a final 12 – and crown three regional champions in the process. Takuma Miyazono (JPN), a triple champion in 2020, took the honors for the Asia-Oceania Region. The EMEA race was won by Spain’s Coque López, a player who has been at every GT World Series event since its inception in 2018. Finally, it was the turn of the Americas Region and in-form Chilean Angel Inostroza was crowned champion and booked his place in Sunday’s Grand Final.</p>
<p class="">With Sunday’s Nations Cup final line-up confirmed, Saturday saw the focus switch to the Manufacturers Cup. Twelve three-driver teams represented the leading World Series manufacturers, including series partners Toyota, Genesis, and Mazda. With points already accrued from the three World Series events and July’s Salzburg World Series Showdown, more points would be awarded in Race 1 and a double-points Grand Final.</p>
<p class="">Team Porsche took the maximum from Race 1, with pre-event points leaders, and favorites, Team Toyota in second. Team Mercedes-AMG rounded out the top three, while World Series Showdown winners in July, Team Subaru, looked to have dropped out of contention with a sixth-place finish.</p>
<p class="">Taking to the famous Spa-Francorchamps track for the Grand Final, the skies looked ominous and the weather would prove to be a decisive factor in a mesmerizing endurance race. Rain started to fall causing the drivers to pit for intermediate or full-wet tires. Intermediates looked to have been the better choice as the conditions improved. However, the rain started again in the latter stages of this 30-lap race and this time it didn’t clear, leaving those that switched to full wets finishing stronger. Team Subaru’s superb race craft and great tire choices saw them win just ahead of Team Toyota and Team Mercedes-AMG in third.</p>

<p class="">The result left Subaru and Toyota tied on points, but it was Subaru’s Daniel Solis (USA), Takuma Miyazono (JPN), and Kylian Drumont (FRA) who lifted the stunning Boccioni-inspired Manufacturers Cup trophy as World Champions thanks to their win in the Grand Final.</p>
<p class="">And so to Sunday’s Nations Cup Grand Final for even more excitement. French Formula 1 driver Esteban Ocon was in the crowd at Le Sporting Monte Carlo (the venue for the World Finals) that was treated to some compelling entertainment. A packed Nations Cup broadcast saw Ferrari’s Chief Design Officer Flavio Manzoni unveil the stunning Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo that will appear soon in Gran Turismo 7. The crowd went on to witness racing no less spectacular.</p>

<p class="">A single-lap Qualifying Session set the grid for 30 laps around the Trial Mountain Circuit (reverse) in the Red Bull X2019 Competition in national liveries. Japan’s Takuma Miyazono qualified on pole, but Spaniard Coque López was just a thousandth of a second behind.</p>
<p class="">In what turned out to be a magnificent race full of intrigue and differing tire strategies, López and Miyazono were leading the field on the penultimate lap but had one mandatory pitstop to make to switch onto the slower hard tires. As they emerged from the pitlane, the pair were dissected by Chilean Angel Inostroza who was on soft tires. After an action-, and incident-, packed final lap, López took the checkered flag from Inostroza and Miyazono, but celebrations were muted as an ‘incident under investigation’ notification went up and the drivers, and audience, awaited the verdict of the stewards. When the judgement came through that the collisions were ‘a racing incident,’ the celebrations could start in style for the Spaniard. As in the Manufacturers Cup, there was a points tie at the top of the leaderboard. López and Inostroza were both on 30 points, but the Spaniard’s victory in the Grand Final gave him the World Championship and left the Chilean bitterly disappointed. The third step of the podium was taken by Brazil’s Igor Fraga.</p>

<p class="">Chapter 4 of Fortnite’s Battle Royale is here. Go forth and uncover the new ways to explore the Island  — propel yourself with the Shockwave Hammer, ride inside of a snowball, commandeer a dirt bike, and hurdle over obstacles in your path. Embark on your own unique path across the Island while augmenting your gameplay with new Reality Augments. Drop into an all new Island with Doom Slayer and Geralt of Rivia by purchasing and progressing the Chapter 4 Battle Pass.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The New Island… make it your domain</h2>
<p class="">Chapter 3’s finale assembled a brand new Island! Explore places like the Brutal Bastion among the mountains, The Citadel ruled by “The Ageless,” the Shattered Slabs mining facility, and more!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Become mighty with reality augments</h2>
<p class="">You’ll be granted a randomized choice of two Reality Augments at different intervals during your match. The longer you survive in the match, the more Reality Augments you’ll collect. Reality Augments can do things like let you drive without using fuel, give you different weapons, grant you Glider redeploy for the rest of the match, and more.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hurdle your way to victory</h2>
<p class="">Sprinting at an obstacle will now have you hurdling over or onto them. Use this maneuver to surprise your opponents and gain the high ground. Get creative with a combination of sprinting, mantling, and hurdling to outplay your opponents.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Take up new weaponry</h2>
<p class="">There’s a whole new arsenal of weapons scattered across the Island. Launch yourself with the Shockwave Hammer, fire ballistic blades with the Ex-Caliber Rifle, and bring the thunder with the Thunder Shotgun. Also be sure to check out the Maven Auto Shotgun, Tactical Pistol, Red-Eye Assault Rifle, and Twin Mag SMG.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Claim your territory</h2>
<p class="">Stick around a point-of-interest’s (POI’s) capture point to capture it. POI’s you’ve claimed will display your team’s Banners, making sure your competition knows who controls the territory. Capturing a POI will reward your team with loot, and in a POI under your squad’s control, Chests and opponents will be marked. Stay vigilant, others may try to claim the POI first.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nature can be your greatest ally</h2>
<p class="">Be aware of your surroundings, but in a good way — you never know what advantages are nearby. Grab some Slap Berries to gain Effective Health and short-term unlimited Energy regen, build a snowball and roll inside of it, and use Kinetic Ore to pull off some physics sorcery on your opponents.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass</h2>
<p class="">This Season’s Battle Pass summons a new cast of combatants. With this Season’s Battle Pass purchase, you’ll immediately unlock the Selene Outfit, and by progressing in the Battle Pass, you can unlock Outfits like the ruler The Ageless, and the in-your-nightmares Doom Slayer.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Behold Fortnite in full Unreal Engine 5</h2>
<p class="">With the release of the new Chapter, Fortnite Battle Royale now makes use of Unreal Engine 5’s newest, most innovative features, via <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/unreal-engine-5-1-is-now-available">Unreal Engine 5.1</a>.</p>
<p class="">Unreal Engine 5 ushers in a generational leap in visual fidelity, bringing an unprecedented level of detail to fully immersive worlds, including the Battle Royale Island. Next-gen Unreal Engine 5 features such as Nanite, Lumen, Virtual Shadow Maps, and Temporal Super Resolution are now available in Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation 5.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nanite, Lumen, virtual shadow maps, and temporal super resolution</h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nanite</h3>
<p class="">Nanite provides highly-detailed architectural geometry. Specifically, buildings are rendered from millions of polygons in real time, and each brick, stone, wood plank, and wall trim is modeled.</p>
<p class="">Natural landscapes are highly-detailed too. Individual trees have around 300,000 polygons, and each stone, flower, and blade of grass is modeled.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lumen</h3>
<p class="">Lumen reflections provide high quality ray traced reflections on glossy materials and water.</p>
<p class="">Lumen provides real-time global illumination at 60 FPS. You’ll see beautiful interior spaces with bounce lighting, plus characters reacting to the lighting of their surroundings. (For example, red rugs may bounce red light onto your Outfit.) Also, Outfits that have emissive (a.k.a. glowing) qualities will scatter light on nearby objects and surfaces.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Virtual shadow maps</h3>
<p class="">Virtual Shadow Maps allow for highly detailed shadowing. Each brick, leaf, and modeled detail will cast a shadow, and character self-shadowing is extremely accurate. This means that things like hats and other small details on characters will also cast shadows.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Temporal Super Resolution (TSR)</h3>
<p class="">Temporal Super Resolution is a replacement for Temporal Anti-Aliasing in Fortnite, and allows for high-quality visuals at a high framerate.</p>
<p class="">See Fortnite Battle Royale in a new way as you venture on the new Island.</p>

<p class="">PlayStation players, we’ve missed you! But now the skies are calling and your story is about to begin. We’re thrilled to welcome you to Sky: Children of the Light on December 6 when the game officially launches on PlayStation!</p>
<p class="">Over 15 years ago, thatgamecompany forged a formative partnership with PlayStation. Our  games fl0w, Flower, and Journey each experiment with how interactive gaming can communicate at an emotional level. We were humbled by Journey’s Game of the Year recognition and the accolades these games received, but perhaps most resonant were the individual stories players sent us from all over the<strong> </strong>world sharing how our games had touched their lives. Those stories made us ask how we can all better experience compassion through play. It<strong> </strong>moved us to push farther and develop Sky, a spiritual successor to Journey that creates a place for people of all backgrounds to share emotional connection and meaningful moments with their loved ones.</p>
<p class="">We are so proud of the vibrant global community that has flourished in Sky, and our players constantly amaze and inspire us! One of our community members, SADist, made an animatic that captured the heart of what a Sky player sees and feels. We made the trailer above in turn based on that animatic, and we hope it faithfully recreates what we all—player and dev alike—have seen and felt in Sky.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A touching social experience</h2>
<p class="">Find your place in Sky through adventure, exploration, and the people you meet. Follow where birds beckon and bells ring, and seek peaceful scenery and intriguing surprises off the beaten path. Ascend through the clouds, play your own music, help out another traveler, or take the hand of a fellow Child of the Light who wants to show you their favorite shortcut. </p>
<p class="">A path rises to meet everyone who enters the world of Sky.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embark on a musical voyage in the Season of AURORA Concert</h2>
<p class="">Music is woven through Sky, guiding and accompanying players through light and dark. It’s always been a vital part of the game, but now after 18 months of development and fine-tuning our proprietary game engine, we’re getting ready to deliver a new way for music to take our players into something more intense and powerful than what’s been done before in games:</p>
<p class="">On December 8 at 8:30 pm PT, we’re premiering a concert in collaboration with Norwegian music artist AURORA! We’re opening the world’s largest performance venue for the occasion so that millions of players can take part in this musical voyage together, and we’ve saved a seat for everybody.</p>
<p class="">If you’ve played Sky before, you’ve heard AURORA’s voice on our original soundtrack. She’s also best known internationally for her hits “Runaway,” “Cure for Me,” “Running with the Wolves,” and her ethereal vocals in <em>Frozen II</em>‘s “Into the Unknown.”</p>
<p class="">Beginning on December 8, her music invites you to be transformed within Sky itself. Connect with the exuberant multitude of players from across the globe, and with AURORA as she performs songs including “Exhale Inhale,” “Runaway,” “Warrior,” and more to transport you on a journey that goes far beyond any other concert experience in a game.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52535300482_7388b5c250_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52535300482_7388b5c250_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">The concert experience isn’t limited to the set list either—the venue also has plenty to do before and after the show. Learn songs with in-game instruments (all skill levels encouraged!), meet some friendly creatures offering to take you on a tour, and find a room with a serene sound bath where AURORA herself will guide you in restorative relaxation.</p>
<p class="">Everyone is welcome! No tickets, purchases, or even minimum game progress is needed.</p>
<p class="">And if you miss the premiere on the 8, don’t worry—it will be available multiple times a day through January 2 2023!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Celebrate the PlayStation launch with exclusive Journey cosmetics</h2>
<p class="">To commemorate this new launch, a specially themed Journey Pack will be offered for purchase for those joining us on PlayStation. Exclusive to PlayStation players, this bundle comes with a cape, hood, and mask, featuring carefully re-created designs that may be familiar if you’ve seen the wayfarers who once traversed desert sands. On a nostalgic note, the mask includes a unique ability: wearing it grants your Sky Child a Journey-inspired voice when you call!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A place where everyone is stronger together</h2>
<p class="">When we first started our studio, we had little idea how much our efforts to push emotional boundaries in games would still reverberate today. We’re so excited to bring our latest adventure to the platform where we began.  First we were petals in the wind, then we were wayfarers gliding over sand dunes, and now we’re soaring together through the clouds. We can’t wait to see you in the skies on December 6!</p>

<p class=""></p>
<ol class="wp-block-list" start="2"><li>Be sure to <strong>add a vignette</strong> when appropriate to give your shot <strong>more depth</strong>.</li></ol>
<ol class="wp-block-list" start="3"><li>Don’t be afraid to <strong>roll the camera a little bit</strong>, especially when shooting combat. It can make your screenshots feel more dynamic and less like the camera is always shooting from a fixed horizontal position. </li></ol>

<p class=""></p>
<ol class="wp-block-list" start="4"><li>If you like to take vertical shots, you can roll the <strong>camera 90 degrees to give yourself the much-needed headroom</strong>.</li></ol>
<ol class="wp-block-list" start="5"><li>Remember, <strong>lighting is everything</strong>! Your screenshots will really pop if the subject of your shot is properly lit. Know where your light source is when entering Photo Mode to give your subject proper visibility.</li></ol>

<ol class="wp-block-list" start="6"><li><strong>Take your time</strong> looking for a shot you’re happy with.

<p class="">This week, fans of two legendary games will enjoy the spoils of an amazing collaboration as Bungie and Ubisoft have joined forces to bring new content to both Destiny 2 and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla; content inspired by each other’s games and bridging the gap between these two fan-favorite universes. </p>

<p class="">Coinciding with the launch of the new Season in Destiny 2, Season of the Seraph, Bungie is bringing a host of new content inspired by the Assassin’s Creed universe into Destiny 2. Guardians will have the chance to don new armor ornaments and cosmetics inspired by Ubisoft’s famed adventure franchise, including three new class-specific armor ornament sets: a Hunter ornament set inspired by Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey; a powerful-looking Titan set inspired by Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Eivor; and a mysterious Warlock set inspired by the iconic Altaïr from the original Assassin’s Creed. In addition, Guardians will also be able to purchase a new ship, Sparrow, Ghost, and new finisher, all influenced by Assassin’s Creed lore.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545450855_e6e668b326_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545450855_e6e668b326_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Today Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will bring new content inspired by Destiny 2. A new character pack will feature two new armor sets featuring Destiny characters Lord Shaxx and Saint-14 and two Swords inspired by a pair of iconic Exotic Destiny weapons: the Gjallarhorn Rocket Launcher and the Thorn Hand Cannon. In addition, a new weapons pack includes four new weapons that have been designed with Destiny’s subclasses in mind, including their own custom effects and gameplay perks. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bringing history (and the future) to life</h2>
<p class="">For the Bungie team, the opportunity to bring Assassin’s Creed’s world of historical action into the sci-fi fantasy universe of Destiny was a unique opportunity. That was especially true when it came to bringing a trio of iconic Assassin’s Creed characters to life as Guardians.  </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545266589_106d1853df_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545266589_106d1853df_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545451100_874d2c9118_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545451100_874d2c9118_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">“We had to consider how well each of the characters we chose would fit into the different Destiny Guardian classes,” says Bungie’s Ian McIntosh. “It was very easy to imagine Altaïr as a Warlock because his long robes perfectly fit the typical Warlock look in Destiny 2. We thought Eivor, being very tough and carrying a shield, would make a great Titan. And Kassandra works well as a Hunter because of a lot of similarities she has with that class—there’s the lightweight leather and cloth garb as well as her stealthy fighting style.”</p>
<p class="">“The Assassin’s Creed character style, which I would describe as fantasy inspired by the fashion of the historical period in which each story takes place, has a lot of similarities to what you might see in Destiny 2,” McIntosh continues. “Both games draw inspiration from the real world and then put their own unique twist on it. The one missing ingredient though, which you always see in Destiny 2, was the science fiction element. For these armor ornaments, we mixed in a few additional hard surface armor components that have that classic Destiny look to them. The best example is the addition of Guardian helmets, which replace the human faces.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545517643_bf6efd21a7_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545517643_bf6efd21a7_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">“Of course we wanted to incorporate certain iconic design elements that help define each of the Destiny Guardian classes into these armor sets as well. For example, we gave the Kassandra Hunter armor a long cape, and we added a Warlock bond class item to the Altaïr set. To fit it into the Destiny lore a little better, we altered the design of the shield on the back of the Eivor Titan armor, so it looks more like a traditional Destiny Titan shield.”  </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545517588_e9ba50dc2d_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545517588_e9ba50dc2d_4k.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">The team at Ubisoft had its own challenge: instead of taking Assassins into the future, they were taking Guardians into the past. Nowhere is that more apparent than with the new Gjallarhorn Sword that’s found in the new Character Pack in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The challenge here wasn’t just to create a great-looking and functional weapon that Valhalla players would enjoy, it was to translate the famed Exotic Rocket Launcher from Destiny into an entirely new form—a great sword that was just as useful on the battlefield during raids in the 9<sup>th</sup> century as its projectile-firing counterpart was while taking down swarms of Hive or Vex. </p>
<p class="">“We did a few design iterations and explored how the Rocket Launcher could be translated in the Assassin’s Creed world. Through the different designs, we asked ourselves how much of it can be a Sword and a Rocket Launcher while still preserving the wolf crest, barrel, and color palette since they need to be central in all the designs while still being functional. We were essentially making a gun-sword, so we paid attention to where the projectiles can logically come out off and still make sure that there’s a good balance between the blade and the barrel of the Sword,” says Ubisoft’s JP Tan. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52544509102_c0e4bf18cd_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52544509102_c0e4bf18cd_4k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545451035_38552734bf_4k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52545451035_38552734bf_4k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">As the Ubisoft team put it, working on the Destiny character and weapons packs were labors of love. “We wanted to make sure that if we wanted to make this weapon, we would do it right. This is a love letter from us to those who enjoy the stories and experiences of these wonderful games,” says Ubisoft’s Ren Gomos.</p>
<p class="">Destiny 2’s new Season, Season of the Seraph, is available now and will feature a new three-person matchmade activity called Heist Battlegrounds, as well as a new Exotic mission. In addition, the new Spire of the Watcher dungeon will launch in Destiny 2 on December 9.</p>
<p class="">Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s latest title update is available now. In addition to the new Destiny content, the update includes two free new quests. The first, titled The Last Chapter, will bring an intimate closure to the saga of Eivor the Wolf-Kissed. The second quest features Roshan from Assassin’s Creed Mirage, where you will see her in action with Eivor as they discover they share a common enemy.  </p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Earlier this year, we welcomed players back to the world of Moss with the release of Moss: Book II. The award-winning sequel—VR Awards “VR Game of the Year” winner and The Game Awards “Best VR/AR Game” nominee—adds to the fan favorite franchise by picking up right where the story of Moss left off nearly four years ago. Today, we’re excited to share that both Moss and Moss: Book II represent two premier launch day titles for PlayStation VR2 upon its release in February 2023. We have a lot to share with you about the enhanced versions of the games, but I’ll keep the lore details to ourselves to not spoil it for anyone. </p>
<p class="">Similar to when Moss released on PS VR in 2018, Moss: Book II was greeted with positive reception, quickly ascending the ranks to sit alongside Moss as one of the all-time top-rated VR games. And while the story continues in the same world, the look and feel and the overall experience in Moss: Book II is dramatically enhanced from its predecessor. This was expected, as we continued to learn and leverage evolving technology throughout development to help us optimize the game players would later experience. </p>
<p class="">Now, once we got our hands on PS VR2 hardware, we experimented and discovered new ways to draw players deeper into the world of Moss as they take on the first-person role of the Reader, the key ally of the hero Quill. Luckily, the platform’s two-controller setup, enhanced haptic feedback, visual improvements, and eye-tracking capabilities minimized the constraints previous hardware put on our team. And as we’ve said before when bringing our games to new platforms, we don’t just want to get them up and running on PS VR2 and call it a day, we spend our time on all aspects of the game, across graphics and gameplay, with the end goal being a truly unique and memorable experience. </p>
<p class="">Here are a few ways we leveraged PS VR2 hardware to enhance players’ overall first-person immersion within the Moss franchise:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Improved haptics</strong>: Players can now feel the effects of world-shaking events, damaging attacks, and movement throughout the world. The<s> </s>haptic feedback from PS VR2 Sense controllers and headset vibration gives the player a greater sense of presence and danger in the game, allowing them to feel even more attached to Quill, the game’s brave young hero who players partner with during the adventure.</li></ul>

</div></figure>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Two-controller Setup</strong>: Playing with two PS VR2 Sense controllers provides a natural feeling, allowing players to express themselves more freely in the world when reaching in to manipulate the environment, interact with Quill, or engage the weapon inventory system during battle.</li></ul>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Adaptive triggers</strong>: Actions will feel distinct to players as they experience the tension and weight of virtual objects while grabbing and moving them within the world. Breakable pots and barrels now respond to the amount of force being used, breaking apart once they’re squeezed enough to overcome the trigger’s resistance.</li></ul>

<p class="">Voting for the PS Blog Game of the Year Awards 2022 is now open. These awards are driven entirely by players’ choice, so cast your vote to nominate your favorite PlayStation games of the past year. All 16 categories recognise the best of PlayStation through 2022, celebrating great games, captivating new characters, fantastic soundtracks, graphical showcases, and much more. </p>
<p class="">As ever, there are a few rules for categories and their nominees: </p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Every category includes a write-in option in case there’s a title absent that you think should be considered. </li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Due to the polls closure date, some titles aren’t eligible for inclusion. </li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>As with the majority of the other categories, Best Multiplayer Experience focuses on titles released in 2022 while Best Ongoing Game focuses on games that have seen significant new content or game-changing updates over this past year. </li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>If a title won a Platinum in a category any previous year, it won’t be eligible for inclusion in the same category this year. As such Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 – which won last year’s <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2021/12/20/ps-blog-game-of-the-year-2021-the-winners/">Most Anticipated Game </a>– isn’t included in the running for that category this year. </li></ul>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Polls are live now and close on Wednesday December 14 at 23:59pm PT, so scroll below and get clicking. We’ll collect the results and announce the winners later this month. </li></ul>
<p class="">Good luck to all the nominees! </p>

<p class="">Returnal PC has been created with help and delicate care from our friends at Climax Studios.</p>
<p class="">For our PC version there will be an array of PC specific tweaks and upgrades to make sure that the experience is as fluid as possible. More on these details later, but rest assured that you will be faced with a cutting edge Housemarque challenge, and the bells and whistles are there to support the gameplay experience including the relentless challenge of the Tower of Sisyphus and online co-op mode.</p>
<p class="">For newcomers to the game, you’ll join Selene on a dark and mysterious planet called Atropos, where she is stuck in a cycle and predicament of cosmic horror scale. Take on ruthless enemies and flurries of bullet-hell waves of projectiles, contrasted against frightening ancient backdrops. The action gameplay at the core of the game reflects the struggle that Selene needs to overcome on her journey to learn more about the situation she is trapped in.</p>
<p class="">The game also features first person scenes exploring a familiar house and uncovering the narrative that is locked within the psyche of our protagonist. Nothing is exactly as it seems and even the story that you experience may be open to multiple interpretations.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Look forward to more information about Returnal PC in early 2023!</p>

<p class="">Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores is coming to PlayStation 5 consoles on April 19 2023.</p>
<p class="">Our creative vision for the Burning Shores is an ambitious expansion which will take Aloy to the ruins of Los Angeles. It’s an overgrown and fractured city that can be fully explored via the water and flying on the back of a Sunwing. A massive machine threat lurks in its shadows – a huge challenge that Aloy must overcome by using all of her skills and abilities. To achieve this grand vision technically and creatively, we’ve made the difficult decision to focus all our efforts on making an incredible experience exclusively for the PlayStation 5 console.</p>
<p class="">Thanks again to all our amazing fans for your love and support! We look forward to sharing more with you very soon.</p>

<p class="">Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is now available for pre-order! Jedi Cal Kestis returns in this third-person adventure from Respawn Entertainment, spanning both new and familiar locations across the galaxy. Follow Cal’s desperate fight to protect the galaxy from impending darkness as he is pushed to the edge physically and mentally by the Empire. Cal faces threats old and new with friends by his side as he takes a stand as one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy. How far will he go to protect who and what is most important to him?</p>
<p class="">Picking up five years after Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Cal is no longer a Padawan and continues to grow as a Jedi. But with the looming threat of the Empire at every turn, Cal is lucky to have his trusty droid BD-1 at his side along with a cast of fresh and familiar faces to aid him on his adventures. Whether it’s the new grappling hook or mounts that enable fresh ways to adventure and reach new heights, Cal is more equipped than ever to face what’s ahead of him.</p>
<p class="">Combat is getting refreshed too, with all-new advanced combat stances that allow players to forge their own fighting identity as Cal. From Dual Lightsabers for lightning-fast duels to the Crossguard stance that readies Cal for tough new enemies, there are even more ways for every player to define how they play.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br/><strong>What is Wayfinder</strong><strong><br/></strong></h2>
<p class="">The World of Evenor is shattered. You must harness the power of a Wayfinder to Control the Chaos that has overrun your world. Join forces with friends to strengthen your powers and control your action-packed, endless adventures with vast customization modifiers when exploring the immersive world, collecting and crafting.</p>
<p class="">Led by the distinct art and style of acclaimed games and comic book artist Joe Madureira, Wayfinder is our take on an online world that encourages exploring, collecting and sharing with friends. You are one of the last champions of a dying world. Thieves and looters fight over the scraps that have been left behind. You are an Echo of a fallen hero, but you have survived the Gloom that is consuming the world and returned with the power to fight it. Along with your fellow Wayfinders, you must use your newfound powers and mystical tech to defend your people. You must venture into the regions lost to the Gloom and chart a path through the darkness.<br/></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Control the Chaos</strong></h2>
<p class="">To conquer the Gloom, you must adventure into it in dungeon-like areas called Lost Zones. You will encounter enemies and bosses and gather resources to level up and mod your character, as well as craft that enticing weapon you’ve had your eye on. </p>
<p class="">But you have the power to control and change the Gloom, making each Lost Zone that you enter unique to your play session. Your Gloom Dagger, which every Wayfinder wields, will allow you to Control the Chaos and apply mutators to your hunts and expeditions. You have the power to control what enemies you might encounter and what resources you want to drop… but beware, your choices will also affect modifiers such as enemy health, environmental hazards and more.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br/><strong>Explore and Discover </strong><strong><br/></strong></h2>
<p class="">You will be a busy adventurer in the world of Evenor, as it has plenty to discover such as lore books, side quests, and items to collect. Outside of the Lost Zones, you’ll be adventuring through an immersive open world.You’ll find other Wayfinders to group up with and tackle side objectives like world bosses, events and more. You will be able to level up your items and gear, hang out with friends, or craft a new weapon and even decorate your own apartment.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Experience Endless Customization</strong><strong><br/></strong></h2>
<p class="">Although our game is a character-based RPG with a powerful and diverse set of characters with histories and relationships with one another, you can customize both in how they look and how they play. Want to take someone like Wingrave, a traditional tanky support role, and equip a long range weapon on him for some big crits? You can! Every Wayfinder can equip every weapon, and you will be able to further customize your playstyle by using mods you find when adventuring. <strong><br/></strong></p>

<p class="">With the world-building and narrative of Behemoth, we sought to blend together several genres. We wanted the framework of an epic adventure, where you pit yourself against gigantic monsters as you strive against a looming danger that threatens to consume you. But we also wanted to maintain the gritty survivalism that is present in our Walking Dead titles – the environment is brutal and unforgiving, and there is no one to rely on but yourself. Mixed in with these elements, we added a dash of folk horror, with themes of sacrifice and cruelty within the natural world, secrets of the past, and glimpses of darker realities. In Behemoth, the dread of the unknown is always with you.</p>

<p class="">The tone of the story is bleak. From the outset, the player is thrust into a world where all hope is lost. The player will face nigh-invulnerable monstrosities and will need to rely on their own cleverness to defeat them. As the story progresses, the glimpse of hope obtained will always be tempered by the serious challenges ahead. The player will need to dig deep into the world’s mysteries to acquire an understanding of the true stakes.</p>
<p class="has-default-font"><em>“We really wanted to capture a world that was both brutal but beautiful. The people here are all outcasts, sent to this distant corner of the world to live out their final days among the Behemoths, and we wanted the danger and monolithic scale of these creatures to be reflected in the landscapes. Great, sheer cliffs descend into the foggy unknown. A massive glacier looming over a ruined coast. Caves that descend through darkness into massive underground lakes. And threaded into all of it is the ancient remnants of a collapsed civilization, and the secrets its ruins may still hold. Ultimately, everything is reclaimed by nature. And that’s how it feels to wander the Forsaken Lands, that your fate could be the same.”</em>– Dylan Scher, Principal Concept Artist</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>A focus on VR-first</h2>
<p class="">We didn’t just want to expand upon the deeply tactile combat mechanics we developed in The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners franchise, we wanted to continue to innovate, to discover ways to take familiar mechanics and make them fresh. With VR, the challenges are vast compared to flat screen games when it comes to melee combat. The total input space granted by the hardware and unpredictable motion of a player’s attacks can make enemy AI a complex problem.</p>
<p class="has-default-font"><em>“In Saints and Sinners melee combat was only really for the walkers. In Behemoth you will fight human enemies that are smart and have thoughts and feelings. Combat is all physics based, and we require real weapon collision for things like block and parry. This applies to enemies also, so the AI will actually predict the incoming angle of your attack and position their sword properly to block it. They do make mistakes though, and if they fail and your sword connects with their body, it will do damage.</em>” – Todd Adamson, Creative Director</p>

<p class="">Another place where we took inspiration from traditional games is the Grappling Hook. We really felt there was an opportunity to rebuild the feature for VR from the ground up and give players something surprising and extremely fun.</p>
<p class="has-default-font"><em>“Typically in games, grappling hooks are a “zoom to location” mechanic. Ours is different in that it simply allows you to create a physically simulated rope at will. You can then use the rope to do different things – climb to a location, yank an object down from a ledge, grapple an enemy, etc..”</em> – Todd Adamson, Creative Director</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Boss battles that are truly epic</h2>
<p class="has-default-font">The boss battles against the behemoths have to be experienced. Facing monolithic enemies is another place where we felt we could take the familiar concept of the boss battle, and surprise the player, showing them the difference between playing a game and stepping into one. In headset, the beasts are terrifying, towering and the challenge they present is significant. Tracking one down will push players to their limits. Complex traversal puzzles, harsh landscapes littered with desperate savages and the horrific remnants of an ancient disease will all stand in your way as you track down the Behemoths</p>

<p class=""><em>“Everyone is struggling to survive in land that doesn’t want them. The opening moments of this game have you attacked, left for dead, and robbed for your meager supplies. There is a clear message here of—if you want to survive, you better be prepared to fight for it. And that’s just the human enemies. When you stare down your first Behemoth, you better be prepared for how huge these things really are, and what it takes to slay one.”</em> – Dylan Scher, Principal Concept Artist</p>
<p class="has-default-font">The world of Behemoth will not only test your combat and survival skills, but the strength of your will. The true depths of its horrors will take dedication to unearth and by then, it may be too late.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Wild Hearts is a unique twist on the hunting genre where technology gives you a fighting chance against massive beasts infused with the destructive power of nature. These beasts are called Kemono, and have fused with natural elements over time, modifying their environment to accommodate their needs, much to the despair of the people of Azuma. What caused them to turn their might and desperation on this once peaceful land isn’t known, but they must be stopped and only a hunter of great skill and cunning will stand a chance. You are that hunter.</p>

</div></figure>
<p class="">When fighting these giant beasts you won’t be limited to wits and weapons – you also possess the power of Karakuri, ancient technology you must master and wield to turn the tide of battle with these foes. Use the Karakuri to discover weak spots or gain a new attack angle. Some will help you set up defenses against the Kemono’s worst attacks, giving you the opportunity to take them down.</p>
<p class="">It’s important to know that each Kemono has both strengths and weaknesses that wise hunters will take note of well before the hunt begins. In this article, we will be discussing one of the most powerful and beautiful enemies you will face in Wild Hearts. One with radiant plumage, a deafening roar, and an unquenchable anger that rages with the heat of a furnace.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">The Bird of Auspice is said to have lived for many centuries now…</p>

<p class="has-default-font">The majestic Amaterasu has captured the imagination of the people of Azuma for centuries. This winged beast with its fiery plumage is both captivating and terrifying. It draws its power from the life energy around it in combination with its apparently boundless fury. Once sufficiently angered and powered up all hunters should take cover or risk being within range of its explosive attack. Carefully observe the color of this great beast’s plumage if you wish to avoid such an attack. The redder it appears, the closer you are to its most dangerous aspect.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">When facing an Amaterasu, you will need to beware of more than just its sharp beak and talons, even its feathers can end your hunt prematurely. Your attacks must focus on bringing it down to the earth by striking its wings or using a harpoon to pin it precisely where you want it. Search for this challenging prey in the direction of the setting sun amongst the grassy plains and desolate, ruined temples of the west. It is most striking at dusk when the autumn leaves and pampas grass swirl around its desolate temples.</p>
<p class="">Once the hunt is finished the Kemono will also provide you with the materials you need to craft items such as stronger armor. The more you hunt, the more materials you will gather, and the bigger the prey you can face next.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">You can choose to hunt alone and savor all the spoils by yourself, or in a pack (with up to two other players) enabling you to expand your battle plans and special missions.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slay with total brutality</h2>
<p class="">The good news? You’re a natural at this slaying gig. Get ready to decapitate, mutilate, eviscerate, and obliterate any zombie that dares get in your way. The combat system will have you chaining together attacks, blocks, dodges, and special abilities to suit your unique playstyle so that you can slay with maximum efficiency and in style.</p>
<p class="">You’ll also be utilising the environment to your advantage. Puncture a barrel full of caustic liquid and drop-kick a zombie into the spillage to watch the flesh melt and drop off their skeleton revealing their rotten innards. Nasty.</p>
<p class="">We sure didn’t skimp on the special effects budget: Dead Island 2’s unique gore tech, F.L.E.S.H (Fully Locational Evisceration System for Humanoids), makes the act of slaying a bloody beautiful affair. Whether it’s your first or 100<sup>th</sup> time, you’ll be in awe of the level of disgusting detail on offer.</p>
<p class="">Should you ever need a break from sending the undead to their final resting place, there’s an entire city to explore with lots of sweet loot up for grabs, and if you look hard enough, you may just find some answers about the shady goings-on that have turned LA into a flesh feasting freak fest.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551976590_5c2dd23a1c_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551976590_5c2dd23a1c_6k.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The prop department is packing heat</h2>
<p class="">During these trying times, weapons are a slayer’s best friend. Whether you’re into slicing, dicing, battering, shattering, or even gouging your reanimated foes, you’ll be able to find the tool for the job somewhere in HELL-A. </p>
<p class="">Swords, bear claws, sledgehammers, hunting knives, brass knuckles, and maces are just a fraction of the types of weaponry you’ll find littered throughout the city.</p>
<p class="">But if you don’t fancy getting brain and bone fragments on your outfit — or have had enough of stale zombie breath — you can pick those suckers off from afar with a whole arsenal of ranged weaponry: grab yourself a handgun, shotgun, carbine, hunting rifle, or even a handy nail gun to get the job done from a more comfortable distance.</p>
<p class="">If you ever find yourself not quite satisfied with your weapon’s slaying ability, you can hit one of the many workbenches found throughout HELL-A to install some perks and modifications. Add a shock mod to your katana to electrify the blade and zap zombies with each slice. Can anyone else smell BBQ?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Meet your ‘’quirky’’ co-stars</h2>
<p class="">No Hollywood production is complete without an ensemble cast, so naturally, you’ll encounter other survivors during your time in HELL-A.</p>
<p class="">A former silver-screen cowboy, a scarily committed sci-fi cosplayer, an aging drunk and disorderly rockstar, and a social media personality who goes to <em>extreme </em>measures to please her followers are just some of the locals you’ll meet during your journey.</p>
<p class="">They can always use a hand from a skilled zombie slayer like yourself and will often reward you for your services with the shiniest and deadliest of loot.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551049067_1c69538d57_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551049067_1c69538d57_6k.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not your average zombie flick</h2>
<p class="">The archetypal shambling zombie you’ve seen so much of in Hollywood over the years wouldn’t stand much of a chance against a zombie-slaying aficionado like yourself. Luckily, there’s a motley crew of foes in HELL-A, ready to test your abilities.</p>
<p class="">Some are slow, some are fast, some are <em>really </em>strong, some can make your ears ring with a deafeningly high pitch scream, and some will explode into a thousand pieces of meat and goo if you get too close. You have been warned.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Embrace the zombie inside</h2>
<p class="">Did we forget to mention that you’ve been bitten and infected with the same virus that has turned everyone else into the living dead? But it hasn’t taken over completely, just yet. Instead, you’re riding the wave of the infection, sitting somewhere between human and zombie, which comes with its own set of abilities.</p>
<p class="">When the slaying gets tough, activate Fury mode to unleash your inner zombie and begin tearing through enemies at a moment’s notice. That’s just the surface of your newfound powers, but more details on that later…</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Frey’s journey &amp; battle with Tanta Sila</h2>

<p class="">After being mysteriously transported into the mystical land of Athia, Frey has little else on her mind outside of surviving in her corrupted, dangerous new surroundings and returning home to New York City.</p>
<p class="">However, her motivations to return to her hometown are quickly pushed aside after Frey discovers that Olevia, a little girl she developed a special bond with during her time in Athia, has been murdered in an attack by Tanta Sila, a once benevolent matriarch of Athia turned maddened and cruel.</p>
<p class="">Frey is heartbroken, enraged, and finds herself driven to avenge Olevia’s death and defeat Tanta Sila once and for all.</p>
<p class="">To describe this magical showdown as intense would be an understatement – Frey’s conviction and mastery of her new abilities are tested against Sila’s overwhelming strength in a fight reminiscent of a gorgeous fireworks show.</p>
<p class="">Speaking of glorious battles, Frey encounters a few other beasts in Athia that test her mettle…</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breakbeast battle</h2>
<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="">Frey’ time in Athia introduces her almost immediately to a phenomenon known as the Break<strong> </strong>– a devastating blight that corrupts anything and everything it touches.</p>
<p class="">Perhaps the greatest example of this corrupting force is a handful of extremely powerful Breakbeasts.</p>
<p class="">These terrifying creatures are found roaming across the different areas of Athia, so Frey can put her combat and magic parkour skills to the test when she comes across one. But beware: these “ultimate” Breakbeasts are no joke.</p>
<p class="">Utilizing combos of different magic types and parkour moves can be especially helpful during these high-octane fights, so it’s best to try out different strategies if you find yourself becoming bested by the beasts.</p>
<p class="">Fighting ferocious beasts may have Frey feeling homesick for New York, but even when she suddenly finds herself back in the concrete jungle, things are much more dangerous than they appear…</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A trip to New York &amp; Tanta Olas</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/idolizedwelldocumentedfalcon
</div></figure>
<p class="">Frey’s desire for a way to leave Athia and return home to New York City is tragically used against her in a sinister plot crafted by none other than Tanta Olas.</p>
<p class="">With her mastery of illusion, Olas is able to harness her magic to create an illusory version of New York City in an attempt to trap Frey.</p>
<p class="">Frey is perplexed when she finds herself in the familiar setting of her hometown, but by the time she’s able to detect that things aren’t quite as them seem, it’s too late.</p>
<p class="">By cleverly lowering Frey’s guard and sealing her into an illusion of her making, Olas shows she is a force to be reckoned – perhaps not with her strength like Sila, but with her mental prowess.</p>
<p class="">While an encounter with Olas is much like a bad dream, the Forspoken PS5 demo is a dream come true for fans hungry to finally play as Frey. <a href="https://store.playstation.com/product/UP0082-PPSA05700_00-ATHIADM000000001/">Download the demo today</a> and leap into the spellbinding action.</p>
<hr class="ps-block-separator"/>
<p class="">We hope you’ve enjoyed this never-before-seen look at some of the things waiting for you in Forspoken, but don’t fret, plenty more surprises await you in Athia. Fully experience Frey’s journey for yourselves on January 24, 2023, when Forspoken launches for PlayStation 5.</p>

<p class="">In the story of One Piece Odyssey, Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates find themselves in a huge storm at sea and shipwreck on the mysterious island known as Waford.  One Piece Odyssey is a brand-new turn-based RPG featuring new characters and monster designs produced by Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550308923_0380ff589e_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550308923_0380ff589e_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">At our recent preview event One Piece Odyssey producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki framed the main theme of the game as a “Story of bonds, spun by memories”. It was also important to the developer team to create an “RPG that allows players to explore and adventure in the world of One Piece”.</p>
<p class="">Today, we’re excited to share ways that players will be able to strengthen bonds in the game and harness each characters’ unique skills as they immerse themselves in the One Piece world Tsuzuki and the rest of the team have created.</p>
<p class="">(Be warned, pirates, minor story spoilers ahead!)</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550057644_b14c003282_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550057644_b14c003282_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Battle system</strong></h2>
<p class="">To start, we’ll cover the battle systems in the game and how the unbreakable bonds forged in battle are essential to beat your enemies. </p>
<p class="">Tsuzuki: “In action games, it is necessary to focus and understand how to control a single character in each battle, to get that sense of satisfaction. However, One Piece as an IP has plenty of fascinating characters already in the “Straw Hat Crew”, so for our players to enjoy the unique charms of each and every one of them, we adopted a turn-based command battle as the battle system of our choice.”</p>
<p class="">Generally, RPG turn-based games have players set up all characters and locked in before executing the turn. However, One Piece Odyssey takes a different approach.</p>
<p class="">Tsuzuki: “We adapted a rock-paper-scissors element as its basic tactics, while also randomly positioning the characters into multiple areas. This is so that players can switch between various registered characters—and challenge them to make full use of each character’s unique abilities and skills to defeat the enemies at hand. This system provides a variety of situations they will face each time, which brings a fresh perspective on the combats they’ll endure along the way.”</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549763076_7cc7158df9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549763076_7cc7158df9_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">In most combat encounters, the Straw Hats will scramble into different combat areas with the enemies, and up to four crew members will engage the enemy while the rest remain in reserve. Straw hats can be called in from reserve and may reposition freely as long as they have an action remaining. At times, the positioning of enemies may be challenging for your line up if more support-oriented crew members are rushed and surrounded by elite marines.  Since you’ll have the ability to switch between characters on your roster, you’ll be empowered to consider combat positioning, effectiveness type, Bond Arts, and potential secondary objectives in any combat encounter.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550309523_010b869b43_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550309523_010b869b43_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Effectiveness type</strong></h2>
<p class="">The Straw Hat crew and enemy NPCs are categorized into effectiveness types: Power, Speed, and Technique. Where Power is more effective against Speed type enemies and less effective against Technique type enemies.</p>
<p class="">Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hats and is a Power type.  As powerful as Luffy is, he has a harder time against Technique type foes.  Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hats, is a Speed type and strong against Technique type foes.  Call upon her lightning skills and help Luffy out when he’s in a pinch!</p>
<p class="">With up to nine Straw Hats with four in direct combat, there is a lot to experience.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549305847_4090303d4d_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549305847_4090303d4d_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bond Arts &amp; Memory Links</strong></h2>
<p class="">Now, the crew is already strong as everyone possesses their own strengths. However, this is a story of bonds and so we encourage all players to unlock the full potential of the game with Bond Arts!</p>
<p class="">Bond Arts are among the strongest attacks that the Straw Hats can perform. Earlier on in the story, the Straw Hats will dive into the world known as Memoria, a world of memories woven together with the memories of the Straw Hat crew, to recover their lost power.  In order to unlock Bond Arts, players must discover these lost side quests known as Memory Links, found within Memoria, and re-live the story of bonds that certain Straw Hats share.  After completing these Memory Links, the Bond Art will be unlocked and free to use throughout the game as long as the Straw Hats have the required bond level.</p>
<p class="">Bond Arts require a certain amount of bond level to activate and the bond level can be charged by fighting together.   To initiate a Bond Art attack, all Straw Hats involved in the Bond Art must be in the engaging party, have a high enough bond level, and the initiating Straw Hat must also have an action.</p>
<p class="">The sheer strength of these attacks makes it worthwhile to seek out these Memory Links and to play with various line ups of the Straw Hats to keep bond levels charged.</p>
<p class="">Tsuzuki: “Bond Arts is one of the example of the benefits in utilizing different characters and items, where you will have an option of a stronger attack to defeat your enemies. Therefore we encourage you to try Memory Links to strengthen your party.”</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550237985_0b0b1195bb_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550237985_0b0b1195bb_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dramatic scene</strong></h2>
<p class="">This wouldn’t be One Piece if there wasn’t a little drama.  We’ve worked it into the game as an additional way to level up your team.</p>
<p class="">Over the course of the game, the Dramatic Scene system will randomly provide mid-battle objectives and offer increased experience, currency, and loot if the objective is achieved.  For example, sometimes an enemy must be defeated by a specific Straw Hat; even if the crew member is weak against the effectiveness type.  This can sometimes make the battle more difficult, but the reward is worth it!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Other ways to enhance your team</strong></h2>
<p class="">Outside of battles, the game continues to encourage players to increase camaraderie.</p>
<p class="">Tsuzuki: “During your adventure, you’ll find places where you can camp and have a ‘party’. By having this ‘party’, you will receive an EXP bonus for the next 10 battles you encounter. “</p>
<p class="">All the extra additional loot the Straw Hats earn from overcoming the dramatic scene challenges are key components to cooking, crafting Trick Balls, and enhancing equipment.  By utilizing the strengths of the bonds of the Straw Hats, they are able to build momentum of strength to overcome greater challenges, like boss fights, by converting these rewards into items that greatly impact the tide of battle.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550309153_ddc97e8e70_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550309153_ddc97e8e70_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Camping &amp; crafting</strong></h2>
<p class="">As any great adventure would have it, the Straw Hats will spend time resting, carousing, and crafting when they camp.  While camping, the player will have a chance to figure out how to best spend their resources through cooking, crafting Trick Balls, and utilizing Nico Robins Mystery Craft.</p>
<p class="">Sanji is the chef of the crew and can create scrumptious meals to eat in battle. Never forget to get some take out from Sanji’s Kitchen before any tough battle as the meals are better than any random apple you may find.  Check out Sanji’s Bronze Bat Soup as it will heal all allies and also grant a 10% bonus to DEF and GUTS. </p>
<p class="">Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hats, creates Trick Balls.  These Trick Balls can provide large buffs for the party or large debuffs for the enemy.  Bosses are strong in One Piece Odyssey.  Like the original works, bosses will test the Straw Hats and player will need to work with Usopp to create Trick Balls that lower an enemy’s defense or make them more susceptible to status ailments. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550238000_be20ef83b1_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550238000_be20ef83b1_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Equipment</strong></h2>
<p class="">Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hats, is the curator of the player’s equipment. Each Straw Hat has a grid and players can freely fill the grid to enhance the crew by acquiring blocks of cubes with various abilities and stats which players can find throughout the game.  Later in the game, as the story progresses, Nico Robin may become one of the most popular crew mates to spend time with as she can craft equipment together to enhance its effects and allow the player to freely express the Straw Hats through versatile customization.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550238735_55441e5758_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550238735_55441e5758_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">All members of the crew are deeply valued and an important core to the game and the odyssey with the player.  Build your own memories with the Straw Hats through depth and strategic elements of battle.</p>
<p class="">One Piece Odyssey is coming to PS5 and PS4 on January 13, 2023.  Pre-order today and embark on a grand odyssey with Luffy and the Straw Hats.</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Hello everyone, I am Matthieu Richez, CEO and Creative Director of Ishtar Games. I am extremely pleased to announce The Last Spell, our tactical roguelite game, will be available on PS5 and PS4 in early 2023!</p>
<p class="">But first, allow me to introduce you to the world of this dark, painful and gritty game we created…</p>
<p class="">A few years back, The Last Spell was just an idea I had in my head, which I gave to Jacques Dedeken, the Art Director: an asymmetrical tactical game with a few heroes fighting off hundreds of monsters. This resulted in this first ever concept art of the game:</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550083559_541b0b67aa_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550083559_541b0b67aa_b.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Now in 2022 the game has been polished a lot, especially during our Early Access which started in 2021. With this amount of time, care and help of our players, we have been able to bring the best game to every user, with more maps, more ideas and more possibilities.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tactical &amp; roguelite</strong></h2>
<p class="">The Last Spell didn’t change much from the original idea given to Jacques: you have to defend your Haven with your Heroes against a lot of monsters. At day, you can patch up your Heroes, buy weapons and create buildings, but at Night, you will have to fight.</p>
<p class="">Each map has a different number of Nights and your only goal is to stay alive as long as you can. The longer your Heroes live and fight, the more you unlock new weapons, armors, passives and bonuses for your next run.</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/distinctscalykittiwake
</div></figure>
<p class="">During the Night, we want you to feel overwhelmed by the monsters, to live on the edge at each moment of your run. This feeling is increased by the work of our Composer, Rémi Gallego (The Algorithm), who made an incredible metal soundtrack for The Last Spell.</p>
<p class="">The Last Spell being a tactical, each Hero has their own action points, movement and mana, which means you need to be careful with each move you aim to do. One mistake, and your Hero may be in immediate danger of death… And this is speaking from experience.</p>
<p class="">We took a lot of time to design the control scheme for The Last Spell because we’ve tried to find the best way possible to play the game with a PlayStation controller. For example, we’ve designed a system to help you navigate quickly in the interface by using the Right Stick. We also made sure the combat phase can be played quickly and smoothly. Another important point for us was to have a dedicated button to display tooltips, because it’s our main way to give players information about something.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>One Last Spell to save the world</strong></h2>
<p class="">The world of The Last Spell is a hard and painful one. The magical war destroyed everything and only a few Havens are still standing up among the ruins. As if it wasn’t enough, a dangerous Mist arises every Night, bringing dreadful monsters to your walls.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550083574_ca43cf55ff_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52550083574_ca43cf55ff_b.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Hopefully, you’ve got a way to save the world. Or well, humanity has one: casting The Last Spell, a powerful incantation to banish all magic in the world, destroying the Mist and the monsters in the process.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549331022_bb8524504a_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52549331022_bb8524504a_b.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">To do so, each remaining Haven needs to break their Seal, and the Heroes’ only goal is to protect the Mages at all cost. Failure to do so will lead to their doom and defeat, which can also be translated by “you’ll have to start a new run”.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More tools to help you fight</strong></h2>
<p class="">Defending each Haven is tough but you have multiple tools at your disposal to succeed, one Night after the other. The biggest of them all being mysterious beings of Light and Darkness..</p>
<p class="">Thanks to them, your fights during the Nights grant you access to unique Favors: some can be bought with Tainted Essences, others can be unlocked through a series of completion. Each fight you win gives you an advantage for the future: you start small, and as you unlock more and more tools, the fight becomes easier… Until you reach a new deadly challenge.</p>
<p class="">By killing monsters, your Heroes can level up to improve their attributes and learn new passive or active Perks. The pool of Perks available to your Heroes is randomized so each Hero has a different set of Perks they can possibly unlock.</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/thirdhonestchipmunk
</div></figure>
<p class="">All Heroes in The Last Spell are classless, so their skills will change according to the weapons you give them. You can try absolutely everything with your Heroes, and adapt your strategies. If something is not working for you, change it and pick something else!</p>

<p class="">At CD Projekt Red, we’ve long said that the next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will harness the full capabilities of next-gen hardware. But what does that mean for the PlayStation 5? Let’s break down some of the features gamers can expect to see when the update comes out on December 14th.</p>
<p class="">There’s nowhere better to start than with the unique haptics available on the PlayStation 5! Engineering Director for Management and Audio Colin Walder wanted to ensure that the DualSense Controller’s capabilities were used to their full potential. According to Walder, “One way we were able to do that is by transforming specific elements of our audio into detailed shapes and textures of vibration that are perfectly synchronized with action in the game.” In practice, this meant combing through the game for relevant actions — not only those of Geralt, but the wider world as well to make sure players receive tactile feedback during their next journey through the Continent. Now, going underwater, picking herbs, winning (or losing!) a game of cards, and mounting a horse (to name a few) will all feel more realistic than ever.</p>
<p class="">“The developers approached this task in a way that would give the player a visceral connection to not only Geralt, but also throughout the wider Witcher world using the fantastic DualSense 5 technology,” Walder said. “Feeling every swing and strike, every casted Sign, and the earth under your boots is a real joy and coupling this with new immersive 3D Audio creates those added layers of immersion in ways we were never able to integrate before.”</p>

<p class="">For those encountering the game for the first time, we’ve got something for you! Or, well — if it’s been a while since you last booted up The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, you might find this handy, too. Players can now make use of PlayStation 5’s Game Help to view quest hints! Release Manager Artur Kepen, who worked closely with Sony to create the system, promised, “PlayStation Game Help will provide useful tips and tricks to both new and existing players! Should you get lost on your adventure, text hints will aid you*. <s>you’ll often find a video showcasing what has to be done to complete a quest or a screenshot of the area to properly mark your quest objective</s>.” The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features a sprawling open world, and this is one additional way of keeping track of where to go next.</p>
<p class="">Don’t forget about Activity Cards! Tracking your game’s progress has never been easier with the help of this handy PlayStation 5 feature. Jump straight back into the game with minimal loading times, and keep track of your journey as you and Geralt make your way through the Continent in search of Ciri.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551645740_3e1ada9b61_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551645740_3e1ada9b61_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">Of course, bringing the game up to the standards of contemporary gamers also means introducing two new modes: Performance and Ray Tracing. Performance Mode prioritizes frame rate at 60FPS, while Ray Tracing aims for 30FPS and includes Ray Traced Global Illumination, enabling more realistic lighting, as well as Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion, enabling more accurate and effective surface lighting. To further bolster these graphic improvements, you can expect a host of fully-integrated community-made mods including 4K textures and models, immersion enhancements, and visual bug fixes. On top of that, we’ve added our own gameplay and graphical improvements. And of course, Photo Mode is now available to show off the beauty of the Continent. (Pro tip: Ray Tracing Mode is perfect for some truly breathtaking shots!)</p>
<p class="">We’ve even added something for fans of Netflix’s The Witcher series. Players can choose to toggle on an alternate outfit for Dandelion and Nilgaardian army NPCs, and access two armor sets and swords for Geralt after completing a new quest titled “In the Eternal Fire’s Shadow”. Other features include a new camera mode, map filtering toggles, and cross-progression — meaning you can use cloud saves to hop across platforms. With just one day until the update, we’re excited for everyone to jump back in (or start their first-ever journey) tomorrow!</p>
<p class="has-default-font">The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is available through the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 4 and 5. On December 14th, all existing players will receive a next-generation update for free.</p>

<p class="">“Battle routine, set! Execute!!”</p>
<p class="">Hello PlayStation players, pleased to meet you. I’m Mr. Famous! I’m glad to announce that Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will be released on April 14, 2023. I’m also excited to bring you a new trailer and tell you that you can pre-order Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection starting today!</p>

</div>
<p class="">In this blog post, I’ll walk you through the latest information regarding the recently announced online gameplay features and additional bonuses included in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. Before that, allow me to introduce the Mega Man Battle Network series.</p>
<p class="">The Mega Man Battle Network series takes place in Network Society, where advanced network technology connects and powers everything from household devices to the infrastructure of cities. This system is typically referred to as “the Cyberworld” and has become a part of everyday life for the citizens of Network Society. </p>
<p class="">People carry Personal Terminals, or PETs – mobile devices equipped with sentient programs called NetNavis. PETs and NetNavis allow people to enjoy the many benefits the network provides by “jacking in,” a process of connecting their PET to various devices.</p>
<p class="">Although advanced network technology has improved everyday life for many people around the world, it has also brought with it new opportunities for cybercrime. The protagonist, Lan Hikari, and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, must work together to solve a recent wave of cybercrime incidents.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551523311_737d166aa5_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551523311_737d166aa5_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class="">Battles ensue when you encounter sentient viruses in the Cyberworld. The player can move MegaMan.EXE freely within the red 3×3 grid while enemies move around in and attack from the blue area. MegaMan.EXE can use Battle Chips to his advantage when facing enemy programs as well! Battle Chips have several uses, including recovering HP, inflicting damage on enemies in unique ways, and much more. Jack in to the action of Battle Network and strategize when and how to use the diverse Battle Chips that are available to you.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551994460_4536bb79df_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551994460_4536bb79df_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class="">The Battle Network Legacy Collection contains 10 classic games, including the different versions of the mainline games in the series, from Mega Man Battle Network to Mega Man Battle Network 6. </p>
<p class="">Now, let’s get into the new online functions! Players can enjoy head-to-head NetBattling and Battle Chip Trading with far-away NetBattlers by connecting to the Internet. You can access online functionalities through in-game submenus in each game.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52552070638_c8ec6b5230_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52552070638_c8ec6b5230_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class="">From the NetBattle menu, you can choose either “Practice” to enjoy battles casually, or “Real Thing” battles where the winner takes a Battle Chip from the loser’s backpack. You can also choose “Triple Battle” where games are decided in a best of three matches, “Version Battle” which preserves the rules from the original games, and more.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551994740_d4c9c5adb1_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551994740_d4c9c5adb1_h.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""> “Private Match” allows you to play with far-away friends by entering a room code.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815254_988e3083de_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815254_988e3083de_k.jpg"/></a></p>

<p class="">In the “Trade” menu, you can exchange Battle Chips, Styles, Programs, and Folders based on the original versions of each game. You can choose Private Trade to trade with your friends, or Public Trade, which will allow you to trade with NetBattlers from all over the world.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815204_3cc4828de0_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815204_3cc4828de0_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815169_0cea130b94_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815169_0cea130b94_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>*PlayStation Plus subscription is required to use online functions.</em></p>
<p class="">Let’s not forget the Download Chips! Download Chips are special Battle Chips that were originally distributed in very specific ways such as in-person events held in Japan. A total of 15 Download Chips are included in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815144_0911a62db7_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52551815144_0911a62db7_k.jpg"/></a></p>

<p class="">Finally, let’s jump into the Custom PET Pack. The Custom PET Pack is a DLC containing Special Skins and songs with special arrangements. Special Skins change the appearance of the 3D MegaMan.EXE who guides you in the Legacy Collection. There are also four songs with special arrangements that can be played in the music player. The Custom PET Pack will be available as a pre-order bonus. Make sure you get it!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">December brings five exciting new cars and Scapes – Norway being added </h2>
<p class="">For those that participated in the limited timed Viewers Campaign in GT7 and answered the Day 4 question correctly, you will be given early access to the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo vehicle as a gift on December 15. For more information, be sure to visit<a href="http://www.gran-turismo.com/"> www.gran-turismo.com</a></p>
<p class="">For everyone else, the Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo will be available to everyone within Ferrari’s Brand Central, Ferrari starting December 23.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo</h2>
<p class=""><strong>A single-seater concept that pushes the boundaries of the hyper car genre.</strong></p>
<p class="">The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo is the first Ferrari single-seater concept car dedicated to the world of virtual motor sport, with a spectacular and futuristic design founded in the Prancing Horse’s unequalled racing heritage. The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo draws its inspiration from the fascinating world of Ferrari’s hugely successful 1960s and ‘70s sports-prototypes. Below hyper-modern bodywork and dramatic proportions, the car hides the DNA of masterpieces such as the Ferrari 330 P3 and the 512 S. It is a nod to the past, yet a powerful hint of the future of endurance racing. The Ferrari Vision Gran Turismo’s architecture is crafted around an advanced aerodynamic design and is equipped with the same engine architecture that powers the Ferrari 499P. Here, though, the engine has been made more extreme to develop no less than 1,030 CV (1,015.8 BHP) at 9,000 rpm, with an additional 240 kW (321.5 BHP) available through three electric motors, one on the rear axle and one on each of the front wheels.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm ’20</h2>
<p class=""><strong>The peak of the Giulia line-up, this model celebrates 110 years of Alfa Romeo.</strong></p>
<p class="">The Giulia GTA and GTAm are special editions of the Giulia released to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the founding of Alfa Romeo in 2020. Based on the high-performance Quadrifoglio model, performance has been increased even further for these anniversary editions. The power output of the 2.9L V6 twin-turbo engine has been increased to 532 BHP. Use of lightweight construction materials throughout the car has decreased the weight by 100 kg and the front and rear track width has been increased by 50 mm to shorten the effective wheelbase, all resulting in a significant improvement to handling. Additionally, the car features enlarged front fenders and arching over fenders on the rear, as well as several aerodynamic parts developed in conjunction with Alfa Romeo’s F1 partner Sauber. The GTAm offers a more hardcore setup designed for circuit use. It adds a larger front splitter and carbon fiber rear wing, while replacing the rear seats with a roll-cage.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bugatti Chiron ’16</h2>
<p class=""><strong>The successor to the ultra-high performance Veyron.</strong></p>
<p class="">The Chiron is a super sports car unveiled by Bugatti in 2016. This limited production model was introduced as a follow-up to the Veyron, with only 500 units available worldwide. The exterior features large C-shaped lines that encircle the cabin and serve as air intakes. It also features an accentuated center-line inspired by the Type 57 Atlantic Coupe that increases straight line stability. The carbon fiber chassis provides the same level of rigidity as an LMP1 race car and houses an 8L W16 quad-turbo engine. This engine has been extensively tuned since the Veyron iteration to a maximum power output of 1,479.3 BHP and a maximum torque rating of 163.1 kgfm. The car is able to accelerate from 0-62.1 mph in 2.5s and a pre-production prototype was able to reach a maximum speed of 304.8 mph. In 2018, the Chiron Sport was introduced featuring an improved chassis weighing 18 kg less than the original. In 2019, the limited edition ‘Chiron Sport 110 Ans Bugatti’ was released to celebrate the 110th anniversary of Bugatti. Only 20 of these cars were made.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray ’20</h2>
<p class=""><strong>The new generation midship Corvette.</strong></p>
<p class="">The byword for the all-American sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette saw a historic change in 2019. Introduced that year, the eight generation Corvette became the very first in the line to use a midship layout. This revolutionary change is apparent from a single look at the exterior. The Chevrolet’s iconic long nose is nowhere to be seen, and with the cabin moved forward, the body fits the classic midship profile. Without an engine, the front section now serves as luggage space, meanwhile behind the engine sits another luggage area big enough for a golf bag. The V8 engine at the heart of the car is a new generation small block LT2 which was developed from the previous generation model C7’s LT1 engine. With 6.2L of displacement, it can produce 495.1 BHP/65.0 kgfm but also features fuel saving features like cylinder deactivation. The transmission is now only available as an 8- speed dual-clutch automatic but manual control is also possible using steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The suspension uses double wishbone construction on all 4 corners and is available with a height adjustment system for handling high kerbs and other obstacles. The driver centered cockpit features a multifunctional infotainment system controlled by an 8-inch touchscreen. With the engine bay moved to the rear of the cabin, the new generation Corvette has shown itself to be a contender with exceptional performance in GT car racing.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car (ST205) ’95</h2>
<p class=""><strong>The rally machine that left an impression on many fans, though it only competed for a short time.</strong></p>
<p class="">After capturing the double title of both driver and maker championships thanks to the ST185’s brilliant showing in 1993, Toyota introduced the new ST205 Celica the following year, aiming to achieve even more victories. Although the new Celica had a bigger body, it had better weight distribution due to the enhanced stability from the expanded wheelbase and wheel track. Works team TTE was involved from the start of development, and key contributions were the improvement of overall aerodynamic and cooling performance. The Celica was planned to debut in the 1994 1000 Lakes Rally, but due to unexpected delays in undercarriage development it spent the season running trial races. Entering in 1995 as a full-scale participant, the Celica battled with the newly improved Subaru Impreza, and Didier Auriol brought in the first win in the 4th round at the Tour de Corse. Although Toyota continued to be afflicted by problems with the super strut suspension, the team continued racing and making improvements throughout the season to overcome the handicap. In the 7th round at Catalonia, the Celica was found to be in violation of the intake restrictor diameter regulation and was stripped of all points for the season.

<p class="">Today, we’re happy to highlight six titles that are coming to PS VR2, which will bring multiplayer combat, rhythm-based celebrations, mystical-style team ups and a murder mystery to players. Without further ado, let’s kick things off with the reveal of Fantavision 202X.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fantasvision 202X</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Developer: Cosmo Machia Inc.</strong><br/><strong>Publisher: Cosmo Machia Inc.</strong><br/><strong>Release date: February 22, 2023</strong></p>
<p class="">Originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2000, Fantavision is a puzzle game based on the theme of fireworks. The game returns in an all-new title for PS VR2 powered by the Unreal Engine. The game is an artistic combination of action, shooting, strategy, and puzzles. The PS VR2 headset and PS VR2 Sense controller provides an immersive experience for you to fill the star-studded sky with sparkling fireworks. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, it won’t take long for you to master the controls.</p>
<p class="">The basic goal of the game is to catch at least three fireworks of the same color and shoot them into the night sky. You can also catch fireworks of different colors at the same time by using Wild Fireworks and shoot them with Daisy Chain, which combines multiple colors, and collect items to start the bonus mode Starmine. In PS VR2, you catch fireworks by aiming at them and pulling the trigger, and shoot them with the Circle button.</p>
<p class="">In addition to the single-player mode, a replay mode is also available. You can change the camera’s viewpoint for incredible replays, stop time to enjoy the show, add different effects, and more. You can also experience the vibrations of the fireworks through haptic feedback, so you can fully absorb the breathtaking fireworks display.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Altair Breaker</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Developer: Thirdverse</strong><br/><strong>Publisher:  Thirdverse</strong><br/><strong>Release date: February 22, 2023</strong></p>
<p class="">Multiplayer sword-fighting action comes to PS VR2 in the form of Altair Breaker. The AI-created virtual world Altair was once a beautiful archipelago covered by a sea of clouds. Now, surrounded by its collapsed brethren, a single floating island remains. Atop its ruins roam experimental combat AI ruled over by a fully autonomous weapon Laws-Zero. Into this place of danger you must journey and face these vicious creations up close.</p>
<p class="">You are not ill-equipped, nor alone. Team up with up to three other players to tackle these killing machines together and explore the world. Glide through the air and climb walls as you wander the island, then enter into battle using full 360 degree movement as well as leveraging vertical spaces to your advantage. Perform aerial combos, AOE attacks, use special abilities and more. Parry or block strikes with your shield, then slice your opponents in half with a perfectly timed sword swing.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Tale of Onogoro</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Developer: Amata K.K</strong><br/><strong>Publisher: Amata K.K</strong><br/><strong>Release date: February 22, 2023</strong></p>
<p class="">Amata K.K, creator of the escape adventure Last Labyrinth returns with a new intriguing co-op tale. A VR player finds themselves thrust into an all-too real parallel world where danger and mystery await. You’ll join forces with Hal, a shrine maiden who lives on the island of Onogoro. She’s not alone on the island: five giant, lethal Kami inhabit this isle as well. These raging beasts must be subdued, puzzles must be solved and Arakida Masatake, the mastermind behind the mayhem, stopped.</p>
<p class="">Teaming up is essential to your success. While you hold the legendary Celestial Weapon, capable of manipulating objects and firing Ki once absorbed, some riddles can only be solved by Hal, some only by you. Additionally you share health with Hal, making it all the more important for both of you to avoid injury. In tough situations though, you can hold hands with Hal to heal, so be sure not to miss Hal’s call for help.</p>
<p class="">Infusing traditional Japanese culture with steampunk elements, The Tale of Onogoro promises a unique world full of riddles and powerful battles. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dyschronia: Chronos Alternate</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Developer: MyDearest Inc.</strong><br/><strong>Publisher: Perp Games</strong><br/><strong>Release date: February 22, 2023</strong></p>
<p class="">This VR investigation game offers an immersive cinematic experience and an epic story from MyDearest, creators of Tokyo Chronos and Altdeus: Beyond Chronos for PS VR. It takes place far in the future in Astrum Close, a maritime city with a crime rate of 0.001%. In this “paradise” city, where all crimes are prevented by “dreams,” the murder of the city’s founder, Professor Rumford, occurs in an incident that never should have happened. Hal Scion, who has been appointed as the Special Supervisor, is requested by the city to investigate this unusual situation. Why was the Professor killed? What is happening in this beautiful city? A clock tower that has not moved for 12 years has now started again. When the final bell rings, seven days will be all that remain.</p>
<p class="">Playing as Hal, your main goal is to solve the case. The investigation will be conducted using Memory Dive, an ability that allows the player to access the past by touching objects with the left hand and reliving the owner’s memories. The present can also be altered by interfering with the owner’s actions at the moment their fate diverges. A helpful ally who supports the investigation is Lily, the navigator robot, who is always with Hal and can provide unexpected clues. When you get stuck in your investigation, you can always rely on Lily, who never leaves your side.</p>
<p class="">In addition to the scene of the crime, the investigation field also includes the beautiful Augmented Dreaming world that integrates people’s dreams, which can be seen when accessing the network. One of the key features of this game is that you can enjoy VR spaces with completely different atmospheres: the real world where the incident occurred and the world of Augmented Dreaming, where mental peace is maintained. Investigate the two-faceted field and get to the bottom of the mysterious incident.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">X8</h2>
<p class=""><strong>Developer: Thirdverse</strong><br/><strong>Publisher: Thirdverse</strong><br/><strong>Release date: TBA</strong></p>
<p class="">A digital cataclysm of unknown origin has suddenly rebooted the worlds of various action games into nothingness. In the aftermath, heroes of these worlds are drawn together and forced to compete to try and obtain a game engine that’ll restore their home. Team up in intense 5v5 battles in this multiplayer tactical shooter. Each match is set across multiple three minute rounds, with an attacking group attempting to place and detonate explosives, while the defending force attempts to block their efforts. Each hero comes equipped with a distinct weapon and trio of special abilities, activated through specific gestures performed with the PS VR2 Sense controller. Coordinating your combined skills is key to success. More game modes are planned in future updates, and X8 will support crossplay.</p>

<p class="">Hello PlayStation fans, it’s great to talk with you again. I’m Kanda, the producer at Capcom behind Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village VR Mode was previously announced back in June 2022. Today, I’m happy to reveal that this additional mode will release on February 22, 2023 as a free DLC for Resident Evil Village. You can download and play it immediately when you get your PlayStation VR2.</p>
<p class="">The entirety of Village’s main story will be available to play on PlayStation VR2 in Resident Evil Village VR Mode, allowing you to experience all the events Ethan Winters faces with the greatest level of immersion as he sets out to rescue his kidnapped daughter.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561873734_01398dabb3_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561873734_01398dabb3_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561579766_5b83b94928_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561579766_5b83b94928_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">Making full use of the PlayStation VR2, you’ll be wholly immersed when playing Resident Evil Village with this DLC. Visually, the vivid graphics of the 4K HDR display (2000×2040 per eye) and eye tracking produces a heightened perception of reality as if everything you see is actually there. 3D audio enhances the realism with audio from every angle, and your sense of touch is enhanced via the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. With one controller in each hand, you can feel the vibration, recoil, and resistance as you interact with objects in the world and fire weapons.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561873689_55bffbdc2d_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52561873689_55bffbdc2d_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52562121673_a1c15f0916_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52562121673_a1c15f0916_h.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class="">The Sense controllers also enable intuitive movements like putting your arms up to guard and holding your gun out in front of you to shoot, and there are additional actions you can perform to heighten your immersion. Hold two weapons independently, load a clip into your handgun to reload, and wield your knife with slashing or stabbing attacks. It’s a truly captivating experience that puts you directly into the twisted world that Ethan Winters is fighting through.</p>

<p class="">Please note that Resident Evil Village or Resident Evil Village Gold Edition is required to play this free DLC, and that the DLC must be downloaded separately. For everyone picking up a PlayStation VR2 in February 2023, we hope that you will challenge yourself with this ultimate immersive survival horror experience!</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">On a spring afternoon in 2016, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles during the E3 videogame event, I crossed the stage between a packed house and a symphonic orchestra, to conduct an original theme I had written that had never been heard publicly. Even before the game’s title was revealed, the audience experienced a sweeping, symphonic score featuring Nordic folk instruments, choir, and strong, melodic themes. After my overture, the curtains parted and a vision of an older Kratos stepped out of the shadows, announcing that a new entry in PlayStation’s blockbuster God of War series was on the horizon, one which aged the character and promised a more mature narrative. The game launched in 2018 to universal critical acclaim and fan enthusiasm, cementing the vengeful god Kratos and his son Atreus a place amongst the most beloved videogame characters of all time.</p>
<p class="">In the spring of 2019, I found myself again in the offices of Santa Monica Studio, for creative discussions regarding the game’s sequel, God of War Ragnarök. Here the game’s previous director, Cory Barlog, introduced me to this new game’s director, Eric Williams. Cory and Eric have worked together for years on this franchise, and I immediately sensed Eric’s shared passion for the material and depth of experience. Having read the script, the scale of God of War Ragnarök became clear. This ambitious sequel’s story expanded upon the intimate character drama between Kratos and his son Atreus by introducing at least a dozen new characters, across all nine realms of Nordic mythology. The set pieces and action scenes were even more bombastic, and yet, the dramatic arcs were every bit poignant as those from the first story. In order to musically support this ambitious new narrative, I would need to fill God of War Ragnarök with new musical themes. At the same time, they would need to be interwoven with my material from God of War (2018). </p>
<p class="">For that original game, I had jumped into the score with enthusiastic abandon, ready to completely reinvent the sound of the franchise to fit this entry’s more sophisticated tone. However, this time, I felt the pressure of writing music in the shadow of my own previous work.  Gamers the world over had forged emotional connections to my musical themes, and my work had won several major videogame industry awards. The thought of expanding on these ideas –  and daring to think I might improve upon them – exhilarated and terrified me.</p>
<p class="">I began composing God of War Ragnarök in the summer of 2019, fully aware that I was at the onset of a journey that would be among the most creatively challenging of my career.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New themes for new families </h2>
<p class="">God of War Ragnarök is a story of fractured families struggling to reform. To support that story, I needed two additional themes to represent families that Kratos and Atreus would encounter on their journey. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567429243_4919c79f69_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567429243_4919c79f69_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566906941_5d702ab329_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566906941_5d702ab329_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<p class=""><strong>Theme: Huldra Brothers </strong></p>
<p class="">The Huldra brothers, Dwarves Brok and Sindri, were supporting characters in the last game. They provided support for Kratos’ weapons as well as delightful comedic relief, and a heartwarming story of estranged brothers who reunite. Their role in God of War Ragnarök was greatly expanded, and now gamers travel to their realm of origin, Svartalfheim. I needed to craft them their own theme, one which could also tell us something of Dwarven culture. </p>
<p class="">The Brok and Sindri Theme begins with a jaunty oom-pah ostinato performed on viola da gamba and nyckelharpa. </p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566906956_ea376d8a6f_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566906956_ea376d8a6f_b.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<p class="">The jovial nature of the theme is colored by a signature rhythmic meter, 7/4, that provides an asymmetrical imbalance. The groove is bouncy, but also becomes increasingly heavy as their theme evolves. </p>
<p class="">The true charm for “Huldra Brothers” comes from the melody, featured prominently by a hurdy gurdy solo. (I am the credited performer of this solo, though I personally like to think we are hearing a character named Ræb playing their theme. More on him, later.) Their melody weaves around the asymmetrical meter with satisfying repeating patterns, featuring a “Scotch snap,” a frequent rhythm found in Scottish folk music.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567181124_3c2761a7ab_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567181124_3c2761a7ab_b.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<p class="">The Huldra Brothers’ emotional B-Theme middle section implies there is more emotion to their story beyond mere comedic relief. And indeed, this theme evolves over the course of the story perhaps more than any other. At the end of their track, we hear their theme one last time, in a dark, melancholy cello solo – a shocking departure from the jovial tone at the beginning. Near the end of the soundtrack album, “Ræb’s Lament” is built around hurdy gurdy and orchestral variations of this melody. I will not spoil the narrative here, but suffice to say that if I did my job right, this comedic jaunty little tune will break your heart before final credits roll on God of War Ragnarök. </p>
<p class=""><strong>Theme: Ragnarök</strong></p>
<p class="">The last primary new theme I composed for this game was for another family, representing the antagonists from Asgard, Thor, his father Odin, and the impending prophesied event of Ragnarök itself. To create a musical force that could threaten Kratos was a mighty task (his theme begins with powerful low male vocals that radiate menace and strength). To try to write a villainous theme that dwarfed Kratos’ in terms of strength and raw power was a fool’s errand. So, I looked to the script for inspiration. </p>
<p class="">Odin, as portrayed by Richard Schiff in God of War Ragnarök defies audience expectations. Eric Williams described him as a snake in the grass. He has a slight frame, and his vast power is most often implied. He is unafraid to use force, but would rather use psychological means to achieve his ends. Furthermore, I thought about the ominous impending doom of Ragnarök itself, which looms over the story’s horizon like a storm cloud. These ideas inspired me to energize the Ragnarök Theme with a slithering, dangerous, yet subdued ostinato. I wanted this string pattern to imply power and menace with a relentless triplet rhythm, one that rolls across the soundtrack like distant thunder.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566441787_6ca4ede7ae_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52566441787_6ca4ede7ae_b.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<p class="">This ostinato gets louder and louder as the story progresses. Above it, the main melody of the Ragnarök Theme offers a dark nobility and ominous foreboding, often sung by male choirs with an Old Norse text.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567350210_37ec67fdf0_b.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567350210_37ec67fdf0_b.jpg"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<p class="">I spent about half a year sketching themes for this game, often tweaking back and forth with my creative partners at Santa Monica Studio. A few of them came easily, but several went through five or six drafts before I landed on something promising. I struggled especially with the Atreus Theme, as I found I was initially crippled by the intense pressure to write a theme that could measure up to my two most iconic melodies from God of War (2018). By the end, however, I was confident that my new themes for Atreus, Angrboda, the Huldra Brothers, and Ragnarök, would measure up to the melodies I had written for the last game.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567429233_aeab30756d_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52567429233_aeab30756d_k.jpg" width="47%"/></a></p>
<p class=""></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Becoming Ræb </h2>
<p class="">Scoring God of War Ragnarök was an expansion of everything that I had done in God of War (2018), culminating in one of the biggest orchestral scores of my career to date. However, my contributions to the game would go beyond the music.</p>
<p class="">Back in the spring of 2019, Eric Williams and Cory Barlog ended our first creative meeting about the project by showing me concept art. I was dumbstruck when I saw, at the bottom of the stack, a stout Dwarven fellow holding a beautiful hurdy gurdy, with a familiar, and perhaps even dashingly handsome face! At first, I thought the game’s brilliant art director Raf Grassetti had drafted a sketch of me as a Dwarf as a gift. I was further dumbstruck when Eric and Cory told me this image was no joke – this was a character named Ræb, who they intended to put into the game as a character that Kratos and Atreus would encounter in their journey, and that they intended me to perform the motion capture and provide voice acting for him!</p>
<p class="">Over two years later, in the summer of 2021, I stepped into PlayStation’s Santa Monica Studio not as a composer, but as an actor. I arrived at the motion capture stage, and the crew put little sensors all over my body and on my hurdy gurdy. I learned that my body movements were being captured by these sensors and instantly converted into animation data for my digital avatar. </p>
<p class="">Walking on to the stage, I was struck by how barren it looked – like an industrial warehouse with high tech equipment gathered around the edges of an empty space. Screens adorned the periphery, and when I looked at them I saw the real magic, a digital fantasy environment representing the tavern in Svartalfheim. Walking into the digital tavern, I noticed Ræb, and quickly realized he was walking because I was walking! I stopped, delighted like a kid playing with new toys, and started jumping around and flinging my arms, watching my digital avatar recreate my every movement in real time. It was like looking at a freaky fun house mirror where I saw a digital dwarf reflection of myself! I giggled uncontrollably as I moved my body and Ræb mimicked me.</p>
<p class="">To be an actor in a videogame, one must capture their motion, or do a mo-cap session. The crew told me that, typically, one or two sensors are placed on the hands to capture the motion of the arms, but that all detailed finger movement is typically animated later. However, because so much of my motion-capture work involved playing a musical instrument, they decided to try placing sensors on all of my fingers. They had never done this before! Sure enough, once they were done, I sat played hurdy gurdy and watched onscreen as the digital Ræb’s fingers rippled across his own hurdy gurdy keys, following my exact movements. </p>
<p class="">Recording the hurdy gurdy performance turned out to be the easy part. I also had to pretend to be in a crowded tavern environment, and to mimic the physical mannerisms that result from various interactions with Kratos and Atreus. I threw myself into the moment, and had as much fun as I possibly could, trying not to think about the potentially awkward reality that I was wearing skin-tight pajamas, covered in dots, pretending to be a dwarf holding a hurdy gurdy, in the middle of a room with people staring at me. </p>
<p class="">I loved the physicality of performing the motion capture. However, as fun as that was, it did not prepare me for the thrill of recording Ræb’s dialog a few weeks later. I worked with writer Matt Sophos, at a small recording studio in Los Angeles, who directed me through the vocal performances. Though I had never properly acted before, I found that my creative process as an actor working with Matt was the same as working as a composer with a director or producer when I am scoring narrative. In both cases, our shared goal is to make an audience feel something specific about what they’re experiencing. When I am a composer, I use notes, chords, and rhythms to achieve that goal. I quickly discovered that the only difference when I am an actor is that I use vocal rhythm, inflection, and tone to achieve the same goal.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">I felt an electric thrill creating Ræb for God of War Ragnarök. The more I worked through the lines with Matt, the more I understood Ræb’s situation and in particular his feelings about Kratos’ companion Mimir. As I drove home from the recording studio, I was giddy, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I can safely say the few hours I spent recording Ræb’s dialog rank among the most exhilarating creative experiences of my life. While I don’t think I’ll quit my day job anytime soon, I would love the chance to explore this art form further!</p>

<p class="">Playing is believing when it comes to the DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5. I had the opportunity to go hands-on with the ultra-customizable, high-performance controller, trying out multiple interchangeable pieces, on-console controller setting options, and tested everything out across a variety of games. The key takeaway — regardless of your overall experience with customizable controllers designed for precision play, the DualSense Edge controller experience combines premium construction with intuitive user options.</p>
<p class="">For a closer look at what inspired the controller’s form factor and customization options, we sat down with the minds who helped design it. Here’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how the first-ever, highly customizable controller developed by PlayStation was created:</p>

</div>
</div>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-quality case</h2>
<p class="">The DualSense Edge controller comes with a sleek and sturdy shell-like case to keep your controller and its accessories safe and organized. One nice touch is the removable flap where the included braided USB charging cable can fit, allowing you to charge the controller while nestled within its case. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Familiar form factor</h2>
<p class="">The controller feels immediately familiar since PlayStation engineers set out to match the original DualSense controller’s shape and size. Close inspection of the DualSense Edge controller reveals subtle examples of its premium build quality, such as increased surface area for the grippy white plastic around the handles and extra texture on the touchpad and triggers. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52573916426_56e41b9f6c_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52573916426_56e41b9f6c_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Adjustable trigger length</h2>
<p class="">Players can adjust the length of the triggers with built-in switches for both R2 and L2 buttons. This makes on-the-fly customization easy, without needing to adjust any controller profile settings. One example from my time included jumping from God of War Ragnarök, where I wanted full range of the R2 button, to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, where clicking into a shorter trigger length helped me shoot faster.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Switchable stick caps</h2>
<p class="">The DualSense Edge controller features three sets of stick caps that make quick customization easy. The two standard caps the same as the DualSense controller’s snappy sticks, while the sets of high and low dome caps offer a satisfying concave feel. I appreciated being able to swap in a high dome cap on the right analog stick, which provided a greater degree of finesse when taking aim in Call of Duty or Apex Legends.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574360530_49bccfee1a_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574360530_49bccfee1a_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Back button versatility</h2>
<p class="">The DualSense Edge controller also features optional back buttons. The lever back buttons offer a longer, flatter form factor that’s quick to activate. The half dome back buttons feature a low profile and precise feel. They open up new options for button configurations, and once I acclimated to the new inputs I felt like a nimble powerhouse. One example includes… </p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">God of War Ragnarök</h2>
<p class="">Assigning the dodge button to the left back button and Kratos’ Leviathan Axe retrieval/elemental attack charging to the right back button let me keep my thumb on the right stick and control the camera during every moment of combat. I reduced the length of the left trigger to speed up aiming ranged attacks but kept the right trigger at default to feel the adaptive triggers’ immersive magic during melee combat. The result was so satisfying I’m already planning my second playthrough of Santa Monica Studio’s stunning sequel after the DualSense Edge controller launches.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574360505_453e07476c_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574360505_453e07476c_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customizable controller profiles</h2>
<p class="">The options for optimizing your playstyle extend beyond the accessories and trigger adjustments to customizable controller profiles. A slick tutorial automatically pops up when you first plug your controller into the PS5 console. Some of the robust additional options include:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Up to 3 profiles stored on the controller itself</li><li>Custom button assignments (e.g. to set up an FPS profile, driving profile, action-game profile, etc.)</li><li>Stick sensitivity and deadzone tuning</li><li>Trigger deadzone tuning</li><li>Vibration intensity</li><li>Trigger effect intensity</li></ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preset profiles for stick sensitivity</h2>
<p class="">Diverse preset profiles for adjusting stick sensitivity offer a gentle onramp for players who may not want to dive into the deep end of customization out of the gate. Here’s what the system settings described (subject to change):</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Quick </strong>– The amount of registered input accelerates as you tilt the stick. Good for making quick movements. Gain the upper hand by quickly aiming in fast-paced shooters.</li><li><strong>Precise </strong>– Minimum input is registered when you tilt the stick. Good for making precise movements. Fans of shooting games may find the ability to aim slowly and accurately helpful.</li><li><strong>Steady </strong>– Registered input is limited even if you tilt the stick far. Enables smooth and stable movement. Ideal for when you need to move smoothly in action games.</li><li><strong>Digital </strong>– Tilting the stick even slightly will register nearly maximum input. Functions like the direction buttons on the controller. Get instant input reaction for your fighting and action games</li><li><strong>Dynamic</strong> – Registered input is limited when you tilt the stick slightly or far but accelerates in the middle range. Enables versatile gameplay in shooting games where you may need to aim carefully but also turn quickly</li></ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Function buttons</h2>
<p class="">These two buttons are positioned below the thumb sticks, providing easy access for a DualSense Edge controller-specific menu that pops up whenever pressed, whether in game or in system menus. These buttons make it easy to snap between profiles, adjust headset volume, game/party chat audio balance, and more. The option to quickly jump directly into the controller profile menu after a couple quick button presses is crucial, allowing you to make quick adjustments without disrupting gameplay. The experience reminded me of jumping into edit weapon loadouts while waiting to respawn in Call of Duty. Speaking of…</p>

https://gfycat.com/boilingenlightenedboilweevil
</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II</h2>
<p class="">The function buttons stood out when hopping into a Modern Warfare II match. I immediately realized I had the controller profile still set up for God of War Ragnarök, but thanks to the on-controller trigger switches I quickly adjusted them to a shorter length for snappier aiming and shooting. Following that, I used the function buttons to quickly swap to a profile I set up using the “Quick” preset as a base. I assigned jump to the left back button and crouch/slide to the right back button, letting me smoothly control my movement across the map while keeping my thumbs poised for a firefight. I also swapped the high dome cap in for the right analog stick, providing a greater degree of control while taking aim.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574445988_57e072c0b9_k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52574445988_57e072c0b9_k.jpg"/></a>
<p class=""></p>
<p class="">Heading into my hands-on experience with the DualSense Edge controller, I expected to be impressed by top-quality engineering and cool physical controller customization options. What surprised me was the intuitive on-console tutorial and frictionless menu navigation thanks to the function buttons. Whether you’re a competitive player looking for every edge, or simply interested in maximizing your gameplay options in your favorite games, the DualSense Edge controller is poised to deliver when it releases January 26, 2023.  </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Abzu</h2>
<p class="">Exploring the vast beauty of the ocean is a dream for many–and in Abzu from Giant Squid Studios, that dream manifests as an unforgettable adventure. As a nameless diver in a vast, open-world undersea environment, you discover remnants of a lost civilization with a bond to the ocean. By exploring and puzzle-solving, you will restore life and energy to this underwater wonderworld. And don’t worry about oxygen–you can travel and admire the graphically sumptuous environments and vibrant ocean life of Abzu at your own pace.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bugsnax</h2>
<p class="">Snaktooth Island is home to many natural marvels, the most well-known of which are the titular Bugsnax. These miraculous creatures are half-dessert, half-insects that taste every bit as wild as they look. Take control of a Grumpus–an intelligent, squeezably adorable furry bipedal monster–and hunt down and catalog all the various species of Bugsnax while searching for your missing mentor in this weird odyssey from Young Horses. Use deliciously creative tools like the Sauce Slinger, Lunchpad, and Snakgrabbler in your quest to catalog every Bugsnax for research (and taste) purposes. You’ll also be humming the game’s infectiously catchy theme song for days.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Celeste</h2>
<p class="">Conquer your fears in this critically acclaimed action platformer from Maddy Makes Games. Join Madeline as she undertakes a metaphysical journey to climb to the summit of Mount Celeste–and face her own insecurities. Her journey takes her through numerous side-scrolling platforming trials, filled with all manner of gimmicks and hazards: bumpers, disappearing ground, conveyor belts, scorching magma, and so, <em>so</em> many spikes. You’ll need to make adept use of Madeline’s signature midair-dash (and power-ups to enhance said dash) to triumph. But don’t worry if you’re not a fast-movement master: ample accessibility options are here to aid you if you need them. Whether you play for the invigorating platform challenges or the moving story, Celeste is an experience you won’t soon forget.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chicory</h2>
<p class="">Something’s happened to the kingdom of Picnic–all the color’s been sucked away. And what’s worse is that the Wielder of the powerful Brush that can restore order is missing. It’s up to the big-dreaming janitor dog Pizza (or whatever you name them) to take up the Brush, restore the color to the land, and fight off the encroaching darkness in Greg Lobanov’s charming art adventure Chicory. You’ll use unique paintbrush and coloring mechanics to navigate the world and solve puzzles, like making plants bloom with a little touch of the brush or lighting up dark caves with glow-in-the-dark paint. And with lots of cute clothing and brush customizations to find, you’ll look fabulous in your artistic adventures.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dead Cells</h2>
<p class="">A castle with ever-changing corridors, with no checkpoints, no save spots, and only you and your prowess separating you from a miserable fate. The Prisoner is a being that can possess human corpses, which are in no short supply on this fetid island. Again and again, the Prisoner’s hosts are destroyed, but they do not give up searching for a means to end the island’s misery. The intense 2D action-platforming of Motion Twin’s Dead Cells is a unique experience with each attempt, with the procedurally generated castle layout transforming into something new each time you play. Every time you die, it’s back to zero at the beginning–but with the valuable skills and knowledge you’ve gained from your previous struggle. It will take many tries to master your movement and attacks, discover uses for weapons and spells, learn enemy patterns, and uncover new routes to traverse. Are you up to the challenge?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enter the Gungeon</h2>
<p class="">The term “looter shooter” takes on a new meaning in this roguelike exploration-fest. Select your Gungeoneer, each with unique loadouts and abilities, and prepare to delve into the depths of the Gungeon, a sprawling maze of rooms filled with amazing secrets to discover–when you’re not busy dodging increasingly copious hails of bullets. Arm yourself with some of the wildest weaponry ever seen in video games: a Crown of Guns that sits majestically upon your head, the transformational Snakemaker,  the masterful unlocking gun AKEY-47,  and the Elimentaler, a gun with the almighty destructive power of… cheese? Enter the Gungeon from Dodge Roll is a delightful, infinitely replayable, darkly humorous adventure to find the ultimate treasure: a weapon to kill the past.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hollow Knight Voidheart Edition</h2>
<p class="">Experience one of the most acclaimed indie classics ever created. Insectoid beings inhabit the hauntingly dark and beautiful world of Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight. One such creature, the voiceless and nameless Knight, travels to the ruins of the once-vibrant kingdom of Hallownest. As the Knight explores the remnants of the fallen kingdom, they learn about The Infection, the insidious cause of Hallownest’s downfall. White-knuckle action challenges, an ever-growing array of new abilities to learn and master, and a wealth of dangerously thrilling locales to explore have given Hollow Knight a well-deserved reputation as a tough and rewarding action-adventure. The Voidheart Edition includes all the previously-released DLC expansions, making it the definitive Hollow Knight experience.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Minit</h2>
<p class="">Minit, a strange retro-inspired journey from former Vlambeer co-founder Jan Willem Nijman and his team, starts as many great adventure games do: a funny little dude finds an epic sword and goes on a riveting adventure. The problem? This sword is cursed and will kill you in sixty seconds. You do get to respawn at home, at least, but dying a lot is kind of a problem–especially because there just happens to be a sword factory making even more cursed swords you need to put a stop to. But you’ll need to take your heroic journey to quash a corrupt corporation one step at a time, doing your best to explore an odd monochrome world, meet its strange inhabitants, and collect key items and information before you’re dead again. Time management has never been so much fun.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">My Friend Pedro</h2>
<p class="">They say that bananas are inanimate objects and don’t have feelings about concepts like “friendship” and “bloodlust.” Those people have never met Pedro, the bestest banana buddy in the whole wide world who tells you who needs to go down in a hail of gunfire. Developer Victor Ågren’s wild escapade of gunplay and glory offers copious ways to annihilate everyone standing in your way. Use your dual guns, find objects in the environment you can use to your advantage, or hell, kick a jerk square in the face and watch that bonus multiplier satisfyingly  tick up with every fool you take down. Of course, you’ve got a mess of targets on your back, too, so use your slow-motion focus skill to aim true and dodge everything your foes are lobbing at you in style. You do want to make Pedro happy, don’t you?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nidhogg</h2>
<p class="">In the bizarre world of Mark Essen’s Nidhogg, the ultimate goal of life is being devoured by a giant worm from Norse mythology. It’s certainly not the sort of life goal everyone aspires to. Here, however, to achieve the honor of becoming lunch, a warrior must travel a great distance, through halls of traps and an infinite supply of constantly-respawning opponents, to reach the great annelid. Nidhogg is a unique competitive tug-of-war game where two players constantly jockey for position in a 2D side-scrolling environment. Use swords, kicks, and fisticuffs strategically to overcome your opponent and reach the goal but should you fail, the focus shifts to your opponent, tasking you with stopping their advance. Both the original, beautiful-in-its-simplicity Nidhogg and the bigger and charmingly grotesque Nidhogg 2 are available in the Game Catalog!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outer Wilds</h2>
<p class="">Another award-winning indie milestone is in the Game Catalog. Do you ever get a distinct sense of deja vu, like time is repeating in an infinite loop? Well, it can’t be as bad as the situation the protagonist of the Outer Wilds finds themself. They wake up to discover that the sun of the solar system they’ve been researching is going to go supernova in 22 minutes, taking all the planets they’ve been studying (and them) along with it. To understand why the time loop exists and what’s causing this destruction, you’ll need to investigate every inch of the increasingly dangerous solar system as it (figuratively and literally) disintegrates, uncovering a poignant and unforgettable narrative. Don’t miss out on this must-play experience.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overcooked 2</h2>
<p class="">It’s time to take up your kitchen implements and go on an absurd cooking adventure unlike ever before. The Onion King messed up big time and summoned the Unbread from the Necronomnomicon, and the only way to put things right is to collect various recipes. In Overcooked 2 from Ghost Town Games, you and up to three friends (either local or playing online) will prepare exquisite meals in some of the most bizarre restaurants you’ve ever imagined. The baking antics are fast and furious as you work together to manage ingredients, cook, and clean in wild, hazard-filled environments. Have you ever prepared food in a hot air balloon? On a roaring river? In the depths of a mine? While you deal with portals and conveyor belts? <em>In space?</em> No matter how you slice it, Overcooked 2 serves up riotous co-op enjoyment.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Slime Rancher</h2>
<p class="">Farming and life-simulation games are all the rage these days, but how many of them let you experience the sublime joy of raising sentient goop? Monomi Park’s Slime Rancher is a unique twist on the beloved genre. Beatrix LeBeau is an intrepid rancher who has left Earth for greener pastures many light-years away on the Far, Far Range. She’s trying to wrangle some newfangled livestock: adorably squishy, blobby, wobbly slimes. You’ll need to explore the world to gather materials for slime husbandry, which you’ll gleefully suck up into your handy VacPack. Raise your slimes well, and you’ll get “plorts” that you can either sell or use in breeding bigger, badder slimes–but be careful not to make a destructive Tarr.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Soma</h2>
<p class="">We’ve talked about the wondrous, relaxing underwater journey of Abzu already, but now it’s time for the polar opposite: Frictional Games’ Soma, a terrifying experience all about the horrors of being alone in the depths of the ocean. Protagonist Simon survives a car crash only to wake up in the abandoned research and operations outpost of Pathos-II, located at the bottom of the sea. He soon learns a horrible truth about what happened to the world while he was asleep. The future of humanity lies in the hands of Simon and a few other stragglers, provided that they can survive the living nightmare that surrounds them both in and outside of Pathos-II. If you’re clamoring for a uniquely terrifying experience, Soma will take you to new depths of horror.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stray</h2>
<p class="">Yes, it’s the cat game you’ve seen everywhere…nominated recently for The Game Awards’ Game of the Year 2022 and winner of the Best Debut Indie game for developer BlueTwelve Studio. If the adorable kitties and viral videos all over the internet weren’t enough to sell you on this atmospheric adventure, the critical acclaim will. A feral cat falls away from its clowder and into an underground city inhabited entirely by robots. With the help of a droid companion, our heroic feline will use their cat-like reflexes and the movement of an apex predator to traverse the secluded city, evade hazards, overcome puzzles,  and discover how and why this strange place exists. Also: You get to lovingly nuzzle friendly robots.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet</h2>
<p class="">Enter the world of the Touhou Project, one of the most unique and fascinating shared universes in indie games. The fantastical realm of Gensokyo is a place separated from the earth where the magic and mystery of Japanese mythology live to this day. The inhabitants of Gensokyo are quite an interesting bunch who appear across many indie games from different developers, and Cubetype’s Genso Rondo is a great way to meet them. Pick from a rogue’s gallery of Touhou characters and prepare for one-on-one arena bullet hell combat. Use mesmerizing spells and careful maneuvers to dodge and shoot in fast-paced combat. Don’t forget to crank up the volume as Genso Rondo continues the Touhou tradition of incredible tunes.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Towerfall: Ascension</h2>
<p class="">If you have a bunch of friends and are looking for a raucous party experience, Maddy Makes Games’s Towerfall Ascension will hit the mark every time. Take control of an archer with a singular goal: be the last one standing in an arrow-slinging free-for all. Shoot, dodge, catch and collect arrows, and use power-ups to turn the tide of battle. Don’t have a full group of friends, or riding solo? Solo Trials mode and single and co-op Quest mode will hone your archery skills to a fine-pointed tip, so you’re ready for when challengers arrive. You’ll laugh, cry, and forge (or maybe lose) everlasting friendships in Towerfall’s archery arenas.</p>
