<p class="">I’m thrilled to share our new trailer for Zenith: The Last City, a massively multiplayer world built for VR. Zenith on PlayStation VR2 is an entirely new immersive experience.

<p class="">Let’s deep dive on the new PS VR2 features coming to Zenith on PS VR2 launch day February 22.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PS VR2 Features</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Headset haptics</h3>
<p class="">Feel the sensation of falling from great heights, taking heavy damage, and even the dizziness of critically low health. Dash, jump, and glide through the air, feeling the wind on your face. The quicker you move, the more intense the headset rumbles.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eye tracking</h3>
<p class="">Eye Tracking helps you stay focused in moment-to-moment gameplay. With PS VR2, there’s no need to stop and point your hand to focus on enemies like other platforms. Simply look at the enemy while clicking the joystick to lock on. This is especially handy during high-stakes battles like boss fights, allowing you to concentrate on your opponents even while moving quickly, gliding, or climbing.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Advanced PS VR2 Sense controller haptics</h3>
<p class="">As a Blade Master, feel the power of your strikes and parries with intense haptics in the hand that lands the blow. As an Essence Mage, feel energy surge through your hands as you charge up your blasters. Outside the heat of battle, feel the wind gently passing by your head as you glide through the air.</p>

</div></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Adaptive triggers</h3>
<p class="">As an Essence Mage, feel powerful weapon trigger-like resistance at your fingertips. Fire bursts of energy or hold the trigger for supercharged energy blasts. With adaptive triggers, you’ll always be aware of your stamina or ammo depletion, without breaking your immersion.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fast loading</h3>
<p class="">Experience lightning-fast load times an average of 2-5x faster than other platforms. You can jump right into the heart of the action and move effortlessly through Zenith, without any delays.</p>
<p class="">Zenith is set to launch for PS VR2 on February 22. You can <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://store.playstation.com/concept/10003293&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1676887140446480&amp;usg=AOvVaw2oqjTP9qMpuE2wn7G_RShu">pre-order Zenith</a> and earn an exclusive cute reward: a Mecha Dingbo pet!</p>

<p class="">Zenith’s next major patch is coming soon after PS VR2 launch with game-changing new features. Alongside the new Cyber Ninja class, we’re introducing huge systems like player housing, harvesting (mining, chopping, and digging), and much more.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Experience Gran Turismo Sophy in Race Together mode (PS5 Only)</h2>
<p class="">Gran Turismo Sophy is a revolutionary superhuman racing AI racing agent developed in a collaboration between Sony AI, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Polyphony Digital. “Gran Turismo Sophy Race Together” mode gives Gran Turismo players of all levels and abilities the opportunity to go head-to-head against GT Sophy in GT7. The special mode, available as a time-limited in-game event (From Feb 21 to end of March), is a first look at GT Sophy in GT7 and is designed to maximize the fun and excitement of racing against GT Sophy for everyone. Player feedback on this initial special feature will be used to continually improve the GT Sophy Race Together mode feature for future releases. </p>
<p class="">In GT Sophy Race Together mode, players can race against GT Sophy in a series of four circuits of increasing difficulty, as a Beginner / Intermediate / Expert driver. In each of the four races, the player races against four GT Sophy cars of different performance levels. Players can also challenge GT Sophy in 1VS1 mode, where GT Sophy and the player race one-on-one with identical car configurations and settings, which showcases the superhuman racing skills of GT Sophy. The excitement of GT Sophy Race Together mode is enhanced with GT7’s new emoticon feature, which displays emoticons on the GT Sophy cars throughout the race to react to the in-game action.</p>
<p class="">The mode can be accessed directly from the top right panel on the GT7 World Map, and the player can start a race against GT Sophy once the player has reached Collector Level 6. For more information on GT Sophy, please refer to the <a href="https://www.gran-turismo.com/world/gran-turismo-sophy/">official site</a>. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grand Valley returns with Highway 1</h2>
<p class="">A Gran Turismo classic, Grand Valley returns to the series with an all-new look. The full ‘Highway 1’ layout is a challenging course featuring full-throttle high speed sections along with tight winding technical corners. The shorter 2000m ‘South’ layout features harsh elevation changes and blind corners to keep drivers on their toes. An expansive environment where the ocean meets the mountains, as well as large bridge and tunnel sections makes for a dynamic location that recreates the excitement of driving the world’s great winding seaside roads.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Honda RA272 ’65</h3>
<p class=""><em>The F1 machine that garnered Honda their first victory.</em></p>
<p class="">With their innovative ideas and forward-thinking engineering skills, Honda has achieved a number of technological revolutions. A great example of this is their first endeavors in F1 in 1964 when there were still relatively unknown as a car manufacturer. The machine they developed was the RA271 which used an aluminum shell over a space frame body, with a 1.5L V12 engine in an unusual transverse midship position. Its uniqueness however would be its downfall and it failed to make any achievements in its debut year. In 1965, Honda put the machine through a radical overhaul resulting in the RA272. The RA272E engine was a more efficient version of the previous V12 using lightened components. The construction of the rear suspension was changed from an inboard to an outboard setup, which allowed the weight to be reduced from 525 kg to 498 kg, a major improvement. At the steering wheels sat Ronnie Bucknum in his second year as well as new driver Richie Ginther.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Italdesign Exeneo Vision Gran Turismo Street and Off-Road Mode</h3>
<p class=""><em>A high-performance luxury car prepared as a ‘beautifully wrapped gift’.</em></p>
<p class="">Italdesign was founded in 1968 in Turin, Italy, and has designed and engineered more than 300 production cars and premiered more than 100 concept cars at the most important world auto shows. Many of its pieces have been featured in Gran Turismo. Some of the cars designed by Italdesign have gone on to become genuine movie stars, such as the De Lorean DMC 12, which starred in the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy, or the Lotus Esprit, which was driven by Roger Moore in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. The Italdesign Exeneo Vision Gran Turismo continues the long Italian tradition of Gran Turismo automobiles, though updated with cutting-edge technology. Inspired by the 2013 all-road, mid-rear engine, compact GT Italdesign Parcour, this concept car features four different chassis settings (track, snow, off-road and urban), and was designed to be driven both on circuits and off-road tracks. A powerful V10 midship engine, together with two 200 kW (268.2 BHP) electric motors, assures a total output of 910 kW (1,219.9 BHP) of power, allowing the Exeneo VGT to reach a top speed of 236.1 mph, with an acceleration from 0 to 62.1 mph in 2.5 secs. A 7-speed gearbox, Individual Wheel Drive (IWD) and KERS recovery system complete the power train. To ensure maximum stability, intelligent suspension adapts automatically to different types of terrain.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DS 21 Pallas ’70</h3>
<p class=""><em>A historic vision of the future from France.</em></p>
<p class="">Citroen were committed to front-wheel drive, and this DS is their masterpiece, made with all the most cutting-edge technologies of the time. It first appeared at the 1955 Salon de l’Automobile. While many other manufacturers were still producing cars in the pre-war style, the DS was a stunning vision of the future. With its avant-garde aerodynamic body and revolutionary hydropneumatic suspension system it was nicknamed the ‘flying saucer’. Development was lead by Andre Lefebvre, while the comparatively large 4.8 m long body was design by Italian Flaminio Bertoni, who had also worked on the classic 2CV. With such a forward-thinking design, the popularity of the DS did not wane for some time. Including various equipment and engine upgrades, the car continued to be produced for 20 years. In 1964, the ‘Pallas’ grade was added with luxury interior and exterior fixtures. Then in 1967, the car was given a more modern visage with the 2 round headlights replaced by 4 headlights in covered units.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Porsche 911 Carrera RS (901) ’73</h3>
<p class=""><em>A first in Porsche 911 history, the elusive RennSport.</em></p>
<p class="">Appearing in 1973, the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was the first model in the long history of the Porsche 911 to feature the RS badge. RS stands for ‘Rennsport’ or simply ‘racing sport’ in English, and as this name suggests it was developed as a homologation model for the FIA’s Group 4 category. The 2.4L engine from the base model 1973 911 S has been enlarged to 2.7L, now producing 207.1 BHP. The front end features an air dam which allows for the addition of an oil cooler. The rear of the car features the iconic duck tail spoiler as standard, with stretched rear fenders to house the new wider rear tires. The Carrera RS 2.7 was available in 3 grades: Touring, Sport and Racing, though even the luxury Touring model weighed less than 1,100 kg.</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Hi everyone! I’m Jose Perez III, director of Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition.</p>
<p class="">As someone who has been a fan of the Star Wars franchise for many years, I’ve always looked for new ways in which I could dive into that galaxy far, far away. With the launch of PlayStation VR2, we knew that bringing our title to this new headset meant that we had the opportunity to take advantage of the new capabilities it offered to further bring fans into our story in even more immersive ways. With the Enhanced Edition launching exclusively on PS VR2, I wanted to share some of the key features that really make it shine. Let’s dive in!</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The high-fidelity visuals really bring you into Star Wars</strong></h2>
<p class="">If you’ve played our game before, the second you put the PS VR2 on you’ll notice that the graphics have been completely overhauled. The environments and characters have been rebuilt, including new vistas and dynamic lights that move through the world with each blaster bolt. Using eye tracking and foveated rendering techniques, every detail your eye is focusing on will stand out. Take our friend Seezelslak for example, who is voiced by the incredibly talented Bobby Moynihan. When you’re hanging out in his cantina, possibly listening to one of his many legendary Tales, you’ll notice how your eyes are focused on him and not everything else happening on your peripherals.</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/impressionablenimbleaustraliancurlew
</div></figure>
<p class="">The enhanced resolution of the headset and power behind it allowed us to create these sharper visuals and new details, both big and small, that bring the galaxy of Star Wars to life in a way that’s truly awe-inspiring.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The haptics and adaptive triggers let you feel it all</strong></h2>
<p class="">One of the standout features of this edition is the way you feel everything. Throughout the game you’ll be tasked with solving various puzzles using your All-Kit tool, a handy device with multiple functions that are essential for your role as a droid repair technician. With the haptics built into the PS VR2 Sense controller, that tool’s inner mechanics will pulse through your hand as you use it, with each function offering a different feel based on what you’re using it for.</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/acidicadvancedboaconstrictor
</div></figure>
<p class="">We also incorporated the adaptive triggers that built into the PS VR2 Sense controller, so that each time you use your weapon you’ll receive back just enough resistance to make it feel as though it’s actually in your hand. With headset feedback, you can literally feel the blaster bolts zip past your head in a way that would feel organic to what you might experience in real life. With the use of these advanced features built into the headset and controllers, it’s hard to describe just how epic a major battle feels!</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Escape into the 3D audio</strong></h2>
<p class="">If you’ve played the original game, you’re definitely in for a treat with the Enhanced Edition. The team at Skywalker Sound did a massive pass on the audio, bringing the sound design to a whole new level. You’ll be surrounded by dynamic 3D audio that captures every blaster shot, explosion, and character interaction that is brought to life with incredible detail in a way that only Star Wars can. There’s just something to be said about wielding a lightsaber while playing through one of Seezelslak’s Tales.</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/dangerousagilecrocodileskink
</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>It’s the complete experience</strong></h2>
<p class="">With the Enhanced Edition you get the full story, from start to finish, because we didn’t want you to have to wait for additional downloads like with our original release. That means that you can jump right in and explore the world we created while playing through the complete storyline, all while discovering every secret and hidden treasure along the way. And, with the full story combined together with all three of Seezelslak’s Tales, you’ll have an even better understanding of the Star Wars galaxy than ever before.</p>
<p class="">Speaking of Seezelslak’s Tales, if you ever wondered what life might be like as a Star Wars droid, then you’ll definitely enjoy “The Bounty of Boggs Triff.” It’s a unique experience where you get to play out the story of IG-88, a class four assassin droid who you might recognize from the movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.</p>

<p class="">The PS VR2 is an incredible piece of hardware, and Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge – Enhanced Edition is the perfect showcase for what it can do. Whether you’re a fan of Star Wars or just looking for a thrilling virtual reality experience, this is an adventure you won’t want to miss.</p>
<p class="">See you on Batuu!</p>

<p class="">Starting today, players across the globe will get a chance to experience PS VR2, escaping into new game worlds with high fidelity visuals and unique sensations. Our teams across the company have been working closely alongside some of the industry’s most talented game developers to take this next step in VR gaming — and the quality of work put into these games has been so amazing to see.</p>
<p class="">In Horizon Call of the Mountain, you’ll be able to use the eye tracking feature on PS VR2 to exchange glances with the highly detailed characters you’ll encounter, or feel the haptic feedback from the PS VR2 Sense controller as you plunge your character’s hand into the water of a flowing river. In Resident Evil Village, the headset feedback will add a frightening new dimension as you endure terrifying moments in Dimitrescu Castle.</p>
<p class="">It’s just the beginning for PS VR2, and there will be plenty more experiences to come this year and beyond. Just around the corner, you can look forward to more games yet to launch, including Creed: Rise to Glory – Championship Edition, The Walking Dead: Saints &amp; Sinners: Chapter 2 Retribution, No Man’s Sky and more.</p>

<p class="">A few years ago, alongside Horizon Forbidden West’s development, Guerrilla and Firesprite began collaborating on a new journey in the Horizon universe. Throughout this time, we’ve worked closely together to develop an innovative and action-packed adventure we’re proud to add to the franchise: Horizon Call of the Mountain, designed from the ground up for the PlayStation VR2 with gameplay that’s satisfying to VR veterans and newcomers alike. </p>
<p class="">Stepping into the world of Horizon and exploring it from a true first-person perspective is spectacular. Players will interact with the world in a more immersive way than ever before, down to the tiniest detail. Even subtle sensations, like running your hands through a flowing stream, or the tension when you pull back your bow string, can be felt by players through the PS VR2 Sense controllers’ precise haptics.  </p>
<p class="">The journey itself takes place between two quests in Horizon Zero Dawn, transporting players into the shoes (well, climbing gloves) of Master Climber and disgraced Shadow Carja soldier, Ryas. Imprisoned, he hopes to earn his freedom and redemption by investigating a mysterious new threat to the Sundom and the world. </p>
<p class="">The team did a fantastic job crafting these majestic and deceptively peaceful wilds where deadly machines could lurk around any corner. Players will feel an incredible sense of presence in this wilderness thanks to the PS VR2’s incredibly clear 4K HDR displays and 110-degree field of view. And beyond the environment, there’s truly nothing like seeing Horizon’s awe-inspiring machines up close. </p>
<p class="">Taking on these ferocious machines will have our players calling on every skill they’ve learned throughout their playthrough, with every attack feeling critical. We’re looking forward to seeing how our community faces up to these formidable challenges.  </p>
<p class="">While combat with deadly machines will make players’ hearts race, the sheer spectacle of Horizon’s striking environments, viewed from the high vantage only a Master Climber could reach, will stop players in their tracks as they take it all in. </p>

</div>
<p class="">We thank the exceptional team at Firesprite for joining us on this wonderful adventure to create a new addition to the Horizon franchise and for all of their expertise and talent. We are proud of the story we have created together.  </p>
<p class="">We’d also like to thank our brilliant cast and crew, the tremendous people at PlayStation Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment, and all Guerrillas for all of their support and, of course, our wonderful community, who inspire us to keep making new adventures.  </p>
<p class="">We hope you enjoy exploring the wilds through the eyes of Ryas.  </p>
<p class="">“You have walked in the shadows, Ryas. Now, it is time to climb into the light.” </p>

<p class="">To coincide with the launch of PlayStation VR2 we are releasing No Man’s Sky’s first major update of 2023. We’re calling it Fractal (version 4.1). From the moment PlayStation told us about their new headset we knew we’d want to support it from day one, and Fractal brings full support for PS VR2 with new immersive controls and next generation visuals. </p>

<p class="">Our small team has always been incredibly passionate about VR. No Man’s Sky is about exploration and there’s nothing quite like exploring the infinite universe in virtual reality. Our game has changed a huge amount since our small team introduced VR support back in 2019, and we were so excited to revisit and overhaul all virtual reality for all players. The release of PS VR2 was the perfect time to do so.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695543339_6c0aaa17ba_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695543339_6c0aaa17ba_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Here’s a brief list of some of the features players old and new can expect when slipping on a headset:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Play the entirety of No Man’s Sky in virtual reality without compromise, with new levels of immersion.</li><li>Using the power of PlayStation 5, PS VR2 provides a truly next generation virtual reality experience, featuring reflections, terrain tessellation, increased draw distance, denser foliage, ultra-quality textures and refraction.</li><li>PlayStation VR2-specific functionality includes headset vibrations, 3D audio technology and intelligent tracking, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers from the PS VR2 Sense controller and more.</li><li>Switch between VR and standard gameplay. Continue from an existing save to revisit favorite planets, bases and creatures in full virtual reality.</li><li>The HUD and user interface has been completely remade for virtual reality, ensuring that every interaction available in the game feels natural and built for purpose. Including controlling Multi-Tool options via a menu embedded on the in-world Multi-Tool; and browsing the quick menu and inventory via a personal wrist-mounted display.</li><li>Lift open your starship’s cockpit, then reach out and grab the controls to take flight. Turn around for a full 360° view of the starship and vehicle cockpits, with incredible details only visible in VR.</li><li>Many interactions have been given special VR-only options, including: grabbing plants and other collectables with your hands, physically opening the cockpits of ships and exocraft, piloting starships directly with a VR stick/throttle, and punching objects to cause damage.</li><li>With complete head and hand tracking, interactions in virtual reality make No Man’s Sky more intuitive, tactile, and immersive than ever. Physically unholster your Multi-Tool from your shoulder. Intuitively aim and fire at targets, or put it away to engage in combat with your fists. Tap a button on your headset to toggle the Analysis Visor, then point towards fauna, flora, and minerals to scan and discover them.</li></ul>

<p class="">However, even if you don’t have a PS VR2 headset the Fractal update brings new experiences and huge improvements for all players!</p>
<p class="">Fractal introduces a stunning new starship, the Utopia Speeder, which allows travelers to skim across planet surfaces at high velocity. We’re also launching a new Expedition – “Utopia” – which challenges players to work together and rebuild an abandoned solar system for the mysterious Utopia Foundation. Other expedition rewards include an exclusive new helmet (the Fearsome Visor), a robotic drone companion and much more.</p>

<p class="">PlayStation players can now take advantage of motion controls on the DualSense and DualShock 4 controllers, making exploring and scanning new discoveries more comfortable and precise than ever.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695691875_f7002ce4a9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695691875_f7002ce4a9_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Speaking of which, the Wonders Catalog shows off your most incredible discoveries, from tallest mountain to strangest creature, giving explorers a detailed record of their journey and allowing players to compare their records with fellow travelers. </p>
<p class="">We’ve also overhauled the game’s options systems, introducing a raft of new accessibility features and giving players even more control over the way they play and experience the game.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695692000_a3cc0358a9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52695692000_a3cc0358a9_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">2022 was a pretty packed year for No Man’s Sky with major free updates like Sentinel, Outlaws, Leviathan, Endurance and Waypoint, plus a bunch more of our popular expeditions. We’ve got an even bigger year planned for 2023, with Fractal and PS VR2 support marking just the starting point.</p>
<p class="">Thanks again so much for your continued support. It means a lot to us. Our journey continues.</p>

<p class="">At Resolution Games, we love tabletop roleplaying games just as much as anybody. Maybe even more! After all, you don’t make a game like <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10005676/">Demeo</a> without spending a few hundred nights around the kitchen table rolling dice and battling bugbears. </p>
<p class="">Yet for every tabletop gaming fan out there, dozens of tabletop-curious gamers are keen to try out the hobby but feel overwhelmed by the tomes of text and rules they’d need to parse through. And that’s before even creating a character sheet! Demeo was made for tabletop gamers — but it was made for the tabletop-curious, too. </p>
<p class="">In short, Demeo is a tabletop fantasy game for everybody.</p>
<p class="">To make the pen-and-paper RPG experience more approachable, we focused on the fundamentals of what makes these games great: challenging monsters, unique class-based abilities, narrative intrigue, and playing with friends. With this as our starting point, we designed Demeo to present these elements in a way that’s easy to understand and keeps the game moving. (Strategy is important, but there’s nothing worse than waiting 15 minutes for the nth-level wizard sitting to your left to finish their turn!)</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/excitableanotherhochstettersfrog
</div></figure>
<p class="">In an effort to make actions intuitive, available choices for each party member are presented on cards that can be played on their turn. Rather than needing to remember a dozen possible actions a player can take (or memorize spell lists, or recall which perks have been bestowed upon a character by magical weapons), every possible action is presented in a clear, easy-to-understand card that keeps the game moving at a solid pace.</p>
<p class="">Some of these cards, like the Hunter’s Arrow, are replenished on every turn and act as the standard action for a class. Most, though — from the Sorcerer’s massive Fireball to healing potions and repeating ballistae — are one-time-use cards that add a crucial layer of strategy. Sure, you could use that “Scroll of Charm” to coax an Elven Archer to fight for you right now; but maybe you’d rather save it until you can convince an Ice Elemental to do your bidding in a crowded room full of spiders?</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/hollowclosedlark
</div></figure>
<p class="">There’s an element of luck to tabletop games too, and Demeo is no different. Rather than a bag full of different-sided dice that determine hits, damage, and more, Demeo’s approach streamlines the rolling experience. A single die with three possible faces determines if a player misses, hits, or crits — and you guessed it: if you’re playing on PlayStation VR2, it feels just as good to roll the die virtually as it would with a real die in your hands.</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/unlinedraggedbumblebee
</div></figure>
<p class="">In fact, thanks to the capabilities of the PS VR2, the Demeo experience is tactile in ways that simply haven’t been possible until now. Haptics in the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers make it so that picking up your miniature actually feels like picking up your miniature. And if your hero happens to be downed or killed by one of the many monsters, the PS VR2’s headset vibrations will make sure you never forget it.</p>
<p class="">The social experience of game night is faithfully recreated through gameplay that benefits from table-talk and collaborative strategy — but Demeo is an experience that plays well for solo gamers too. As any TTRPG fan will tell you, sometimes the greatest challenge is just getting everybody’s schedules to line up for game night. Demeo lets players scratch their tabletop itch even when nobody else is around. In fact, one of the biggest compliments we get comes from Game Masters who tell us they’ve turned to Demeo as a replacement game when someone is missing from their group that week. Instead of running a one-shot so that they don’t advance their tabletop campaign without all their regular players in attendance, they run Demeo. And that continues to knock our socks off. </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/validunlawfuliberianchiffchaff
</div></figure>
<p class="">Demeo features a richly detailed world filled with different settings, monsters, and scheming, corrupted villains — but as a player, it’s a world you get to immerse yourself in rather than build out moment-by-moment. There’s no need for a quick-thinking dungeon master to juggle the rules, monsters and everything else that a player could throw at them. And while there are five complete adventures included, Demeo allows players to make the adventuring experience entirely their own. Every session in one of these pre-made adventures is unique, thanks to randomly assembled levels, random monster and treasure distributions, different action cards in play, and the ability to mix different heroes together in any configuration you’d like. </p>
<p class="">We’ve always loved a good dungeon crawl — that’s why we designed an experience that lets you dive right into it, even if you’ve never rolled a D20 in your life. If that sounds like your kind of fun, we can’t wait for you to join us in the world of Gilmerra! Demeo is available now on PS VR2.</p>

<p class="">Hello everyone, this is Masashi Takahashi, producer of Octopath Traveler. If you’re reading this article, it means that you have at least a bit of interest in Octopath Traveler II… and if that’s the case, I’m delighted!</p>
<p class="">This game marks the first time the series has been playable on PlayStation, so I thought I should introduce the series for those of you who haven’t encountered it before. So read on, and I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Octopath Traveler II.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It’s a completely standalone game</h2>
<p class="">Firstly, don’t worry if you haven’t played the original Octopath Traveler – there’s no continuous narrative between that game and Octopath Traveler II!</p>
<p class="">This is an entirely standalone game set in an entirely new world with entirely new characters. Even if this is your first time with the series, you’ll be able to enjoy all of its elements. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It uses a beautiful HD-2D art style</h2>
<p class="">Do you enjoy pixel art games? Many of you may find yourselves drawn to this game due to its graphics. Octopath Traveler II uses ‘HD-2D’ visuals – a unique graphic style that combines pixels with 3D CG. It looks good in screenshots and video, but it’s something you really have to experience first-hand by actually moving around the game with your own hands.</p>
<p class="">It creates a captivating effect that feels both modern and nostalgic at the same time! It’s particularly appealing on PlayStation, thanks to silky smooth 60FPS gameplay that makes it feel as good to play as it looks.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You can play as eight heroes</h2>
<p class="">You don’t get to choose just one hero in Octopath Traveler II – you get to choose between eight!</p>
<p class="">Each of the Travelers is unique, and once you pick your first character, you’ll be able to encounter the others, add them to your party and experience their adventures too.</p>
<p class="">So, who are these brave adventurers?</p>
<p class=""><strong>Hikari the Warrior </strong>– a young prince with a kind heart. After a coup leads his kingdom down a warpath, he sets off to find a path to peace.</p>

<p class="">Each of these heroes has their own distinct personalities, motivations, talents, and abilities that help them in and out of battle. Speaking of which…</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Break and Boost combat system</h2>
<p class="">Octopath Traveler II’s world of Solistia is full of dangers as you’ll regularly have to face off against monstrous foes. Combat is fast-paced and deeply strategic thanks to the ‘Break and Boost’ system.</p>
<p class="">The key to success is ‘breaking’ enemies. By exploiting their weaknesses, you can reduce your foes’ Shield Points to zero and stun them for a turn. What’s more, all your attacks do critical damage!</p>
<p class="">Boosting adds another tactical edge to combat. Each turn you earn boost points, which can be spent to take multiple actions on a turn, strengthen attacks and more. Knowing when to use your points and when to save them is just one strategic decision you’ll have to think about as you fight.</p>
<p class="">Using these features, along with a massive range of attacks, magic spells, special abilities and more, makes combat feel consistently engaging and satisfying.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Path Actions let you interact with the world and its people</h2>
<p class="">The eight travelers don’t just have awesome attacks to unleash in battle, they also have abilities that let them engage with people in towns and cities. These are called ‘Path Actions’ and they let you do some really fun things.</p>
<p class="">Every character has two Path Actions – one they use during the day, another at night, and there are often different ways to achieve the same objective. For example, if an NPC has an object you want, you could either use Partitio to splash the cash and buy it from them, or use Osvald at night to mug them and just take it.</p>
<p class="">And that highlights another key feature of Octopath Traveler 2 – it’s your adventure. It’s all about letting you explore the story and gameplay systems at your own pace and allowing players to discover their own unique experiences.</p>
<p class="">I hope this rundown makes you consider playing Octopath Traveler II. The game releases for PS5 and PS4 on February 24.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Our team has always wanted to make games with engaging gameplay and well-crafted stories. After many years, I’m happy that we’re taking that step forward with the announcement of our first original game as an independent studio, The Foglands!<br/><br/>For the announcement, we were really excited to get people intrigued by the vibes of this foggy sci-fi western world, alongside moments of its high-intensity VR gameplay.</p>

<p class="">The Foglands is packed with action roguelike shooter gameplay elements at its core. The player is tasked to explore what lurks in the dangerous depths of the Fog, in an effort to resolve a conflict that threatens their home. Each run will have players punching, throwing, and shooting to get through floors of enemies and bosses to reach the end.<br/><br/>We want combat to feel like you’re in a western saloon, and suddenly a bar-fight just broke loose. What do you do? Out of ammo? Look around and find whatever you can. Maybe there’s a bottle or something nearby that you can use to whack an enemy out. Too scary? Sneak past encounters and look around for various equips and abilities to improve your odds.</p>

<p class="has-default-font"></p>
<p class="has-default-font">In this world completely coated by a toxic Fog, you’re a part of a community forced to live in an underground bunker, called The Hold. Within the community, there are scavengers who maintain the survival of their shelter, called Runners. These Runners are the few who are brave enough to step out into the dangers of the Fog.<br/><br/>The story picks up as you play as a new Runner on their first mission, which ends in a complete disaster. Afterward, you meet a peculiar fellow who wants to strike a deal. A mysterious character dubbed The Stranger. He promises a slew of boons, rewards, and as many chances as it takes to hunt down a great creature that is directly threatening your home. With your goals aligned, why not strike this deal?</p>

<p class="has-default-font">The development of this game has been a committed, and long-awaited labor of love for our dev team. Well Told is an independently owned and operated game studio that’s remained afloat through game development work-for-hire gigs since 2015. The concept of The Foglands was born even earlier than the studio’s conception, as a student project produced in college by some of our co-founders. After years of steady growth as a studio, we lucked out with an opportunity to revisit the passion project that brought us together all those years ago.<br/><br/>This game would not have been possible without both the past and present contributions of our team and partners. While maintaining the original vision of the project, we’re proud that everyone’s voice has left an impact. We’re fortunate to be making games at a time where we have access to a global network of developers, artists, and more to help us bring this game to life.<br/></p>

<p class="">So yeah, look forward to landing some impactful punches with those sweet haptics thanks to the Sense controller! Working with the support of PlayStation and the next-generation features of the PS VR2, it provides a new level of immersion that enhances our intended player experience so well. I’m very excited for players to experience not only the game, but the new headset itself!<br/><br/>The team is very excited to have players explore and discover mysteries and twists we’ve set in this foggy world. So for now… We’re still keeping our <em>cards</em> close on further details. Coming for PS VR2 in 2023, stay tuned as we plan to share more later this year.</p>

<p class="">Become Jake Higgins, a famous anthropologist who finds himself lost in the Amazon jungle. Surrounded by various dangers and equipped only with his watch, backpack and handy survival guide, he must endure and make it back to civilization.</p>
<p class="">Take on the thrilling challenge and see how long you can last in the green hell of the rainforest. Craft various tools and weapons to fight back against predators, chop down trees, heal yourself or catch fish in the treacherous river. Build a shelter, grab a bow and get ready to survive – we wish you the best of luck, you’ll certainly need it!</p>
<p class="">PlayStation VR2 allows us to bring Green Hell VR to a new audience without making any sacrifices. Thanks to the amazing technology behind the Sense controller, you can feel every impactful action. Haptic feedback makes something as simple as pulling a bow string an immersive experience.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">PS VR2 also offers headset feedback so you can feel everything more intensely, whether it be hand-to-hand combat, bug bites or our brave protagonist’s heartbeat. Combined with the feedback from PS VR2 Sense controller, the level of immersion is far, far deeper than even the most dangerous parts of the Amazon River.</p>

</div><figcaption>Caption: The player tightens rope around a stick, and later uses a carefully aimed arrow to take out wildlife</figcaption></figure>
<p class="">Sound is another crucial factor in increasing player engagement in any virtual world. In the case of PS5 and PlayStation VR2, 3D Audio makes you feel more present in the rainforest, so you can not only see but also hear the nature around you – insects, rain… or the wildlife trying to hunt you down. Using the combined capabilities of PS VR2 and Wwise, we strive for the most precise and faithful representation of sounds of the jungle. We aim to achieve a unique sense of immersion and spatiality.</p>
<p class="">The visuals also help to immerse you in the game, especially when it’s a VR title. Green Hell VR offers high-quality graphics, believable environments and characters – all without sacrificing performance. It’s important that everything runs smoothly, and PS VR2 guarantees a stable frame rate.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Green Hell VR also features reworked lighting, high-res textures and realistic shadows – all that in native PS VR2 resolution – among other graphical enhancements, to add depth to the image. It’s a unique visual experience, and we’re excited to bring it to PlayStation fans around the world.</p>

</div><figcaption>Caption: A montage of the different environments you’ll explore in the game.</figcaption></figure>
<p class="">Our game is set in the Amazon rainforest, which is exciting in itself. The jungle can be beautiful, interesting and, of course, dangerous. It’s the perfect place to fight for survival and explore the lush, green world.</p>
<p class="">The appearance of such an exotic place can vary depending on several aspects, such as the time of day or the changing weather. However, there are some distinguishing elements of the jungle aesthetic that can be identified, such as dense foliage. The environment has an air of mysticism and danger and has the ability to evoke a variety of feelings in those who visit it. The fact that it’s home to such a wide variety of plant and animal species not only adds to the visual appeal, but also makes it incredibly intriguing to many people.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">In Green Hell VR, you can explore the harsh rainforest from the comfort of your own room. With PS VR2, you can really see how it feels to wade through the lush vegetation and make the jungle your home, if only temporarily. It is an immersive and sometimes quite scary experience, so be prepared!</p>

<p class="has-default-font">We are delighted to finally unveil the next generation of immersive VR action with Synapse.</p>
<p class="">At nDreams we’ve been pioneering the possibilities of VR gaming for the past decade and we’re always looking to push the medium, such as with Fracked’s fluid, run and gun action gameplay on PS VR. We wanted to push things even further with our first next-gen VR title on the PS VR2, in a way never seen before. </p>
<p class="">Launching later this year, Synapse is the result of this hard work – combining brutal firepower, expressive 1:1 telekinesis and an iconic art style. On top of this the game has been created from inception to be a PS VR2-only experience.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">We couldn’t be happier to share our teaser trailer for a taste of Synapse’s mind-blowing gameplay:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Transforming gameplay for next gen VR</strong></h2>
<p class="">VR heightens your senses, making you feel so immersed and involved in the world around you and we wanted to fully explore this with Synapse. We saw the opportunity with PS VR2 to create a new, expressive mechanic that is perfect for VR – telekinesis. We’ve seen from non-VR games how telekinesis can add so much to combat and gameplay, but VR transforms the experience, making telekinesis feel even more immersive through full 1:1 motion control.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">We’ve tailored the wielding of telekinesis to feel instinctive and expressive, giving players new ways to take down enemies and progress through levels. A key element in this is eye-tracking enhanced aiming which equips players with pinpoint precision when targeting their telekinesis and combines with motion controls to make wielding telekinetic powers a full-body experience.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091916_2961082fa4_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="An enemy is picked up in the air by the player’s telekinesis, envisioned as multiple strands that coil round the foe’s body, rendering them helpless." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091916_2961082fa4_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Creating the future of VR combat</strong></h2>
<p class="has-default-font">We were proud of the reception of Fracked’s run and cover gunplay when it launched on the PS VR back in 2021 – it was fast, visceral and uncompromised, but also entirely accessible and intuitive.  We were wrapping up the game just as we were starting work with the PS VR2, and we knew this was the perfect foundation to build upon with Synapse.  Our new game evolves this core gameplay, making full use of the Sense controller’s analogue sticks, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, but we wanted to go beyond this.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707576313_55c6eea3f5_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="The player unloads a pistol’s ammo, using the Sense controller to perfect their aim." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707576313_55c6eea3f5_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">We wanted to give the player the freedom to shape and master their combat style through dual-wielding, with telekinesis in one hand and a deadly arsenal of weapons in the other. How you use this lethal combination is up to you. As an example, something I love about the guns in Synapse is the ability to reload by slamming the magazine against any surface you choose: the back of your hand, the cover in front of you, your chest, or my personal favourite – the head of an enemy you have propelled towards you with telekinesis!</p>
<p class="has-default-font">There are so many abilities and combat styles for players to discover, from using objects as weapons or moveable cover, to telekinetically launching enemies into mid-air and blasting them with your trusty firearm as you truly unleash your inner anti-hero.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091846_d377133ea3_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="In a quiet moment between gunfights, the players reloads their pistol, using the Sense controller to slide the clip into their pistol." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091846_d377133ea3_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Harnessing the power of PS VR2</strong></h2>
<p class="has-default-font">A next gen hardware launch is always an exciting time, especially for us as developers. From very early on in the development cycle, we could see that the graphical fidelity of this generation of hardware was going to be a huge leap forward. So, we placed a focus on tailoring Synapse’s surreal mindscape visual style to showcase the PS VR2’s OLED display and the seismic increase in graphical horsepower. The monochrome art style with its bursts of vibrant colour can only truly be done justice on the stunning 4K HDR screen along with foveated rendering, showing the world vividness and sharpness at a level that we haven’t seen before.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091946_601c8c3957_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="The player uses their telekinesis to grip onto a far away object. The gripped object glows red to signify the player has latched onto it." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707091946_601c8c3957_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Synapse will be launching exclusively on PS VR2 later this year and we can’t wait to show you more of the game and the journey we have been on as we head towards launch. In the meantime, we’d love to hear what you think of what you’ve seen so far, let us know in the comments!</p>

<p class="">With the upcoming launch of Destiny 2: Lightfall on February 28, Guardians will be thrust into a new adventure that will see them prepare for the arrival of the Witness and its disciple, Calus. Challenge and thrills await players with Lightfall—from brand new enemies such as the formidable Tormentors to a gripping campaign, complete with a Legendary difficulty mode for those Guardians looking for the ultimate test of their skill.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Destiny fans got their latest look at Lightfall in the launch trailer, which debuted today during today’s State of Play. Take a look and whet your appetite for all of the Strand-weaving, Shadow Legion-crushing, Neomuna-exploring action to come:</p>

</div>
</div>
<p class="">Guardians won’t go into the fight against Calus empty-handed. A new elemental damage type, Strand, will let players pluck at the threads of cosmic consciousness and wield the Weave to sew destruction and chaos against the enemies of humanity. There will also be a bevy of new weapons and armor to add to your Guardian’s arsenal, including powerful Exotics, as well as a new Strand-enabled grapple ability that will give Guardians movement options they’ve never encountered before in Destiny 2.</p>
<p class="">With Lightfall, the Destiny 2 team has also been hard at work crafting a host of behind-the-scenes improvements to gameplay, armor customization, and more that will not just make your life as a Guardian easier, but more effective in combat too.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Here, we’ll take a look at some of the quality-of-life features that are coming to Destiny 2: Lightfall to learn a bit more about how they evolved in development and how Guardians can put them to best use once they hit the neon streets of Neptune’s hidden city of Neomuna.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crafting a better Guardian</h2>
<p class="">Guardians are built for battle. Between powerful armor and abilities, plus a weapons arsenal that can only be described as “plentiful,” there are a myriad of ways to design and customize a monster-killing machine that suits practically any player’s style. But arming yourself is only the first step. Progress far enough into the game and you’ll encounter mods—upgrades that can be added to weapons and armor which offer new perks and abilities. Those mod effects stack together to create a Guardian that is as individual as the person holding the controller.</p>
<p class="">Using mods to craft a great build has been a part of the Destiny 2 experience for years now, and with Lightfall, the team is looking to make the process of taking your Guardian to the next level easier than ever. They’ve done that through some key updates that aim to make buildcrafting more approachable without losing the complexity and depth that Destiny 2 players love.</p>
<p class="">There is a lot to unpack with the updated buildcrafting system; from the retiring of the old mod energy system to Artifact mods being translated into passive perks, and more. Check <a href="https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/buildcrafting">out the recent post on Bungie.net</a> for the nitty gritty details of how mods will change the game in Lightfall. Let’s focus on two buildcrafting features in particular: Mod Customization and Loadouts.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mod customization</h2>
<p class="">Much like Appearance Customization revolutionized the way players can quickly and easily customize their Guardian’s look, the upcoming Mod Customization feature will let players manage their mod collection with a dedicated interface that puts everything on one mod-focused screen.</p>
<p class="">As Bungie’s Rodney Thompson explains, one of the key goals for the buildcrafting updates was to save time.</p>
<p class="">“[Previously] it took up a lot of a player’s time to go in and modify a build,” said Thompson. “And because mods were spread across multiple armor slots, if you changed weapons, for example, there was a high likelihood that you would actually have to go in and change five different pieces of armor because your mods weren’t set up right.”</p>
<p class="has-default-font">With the new Mod Customization screen, you will be able to navigate an all-in-one screen that shows all your mods and armor pieces at any given time, allowing you to quickly slot in mods without having to click on individual armor slots. In addition, you’ll be able to easily access crucial information such as your current weapon’s perks and stats, without the need to click back to your Character screen.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Loadouts</h2>
<p class="">If you’ve ever gone from a strike to a Grandmaster Nightfall to an epic raid in a single Destiny 2 session, you know that switching gear is a must for the experienced Guardian. While third-party apps have traditionally been a huge help with gear switching, the new Loadouts system coming with Lightfall aims to give players all that convenience without the need to leave the game.</p>
<p class="">With Loadouts, you will be able to quickly swap entire sets of gear on the fly (yes, even gear in your vault), as well as to save, label, and visually identify new loadouts as they are created. You’ll start with six slots in which to save loadouts and will be able to earn more as you complete additional Guardian Ranks (more on those in a bit). You’ll also be able to swap between loadouts mid-activity (excluding activities where your gear is locked, such as Grandmaster Nightfalls), not just from orbit.</p>
<p class="">Bungie UI Designer Xavier Durand-Hollis explained that the Loadouts and Mod Customization systems have been designed for ease of access, with each just a button press away from the Character screen. “When you open your Character screen, there will be two buttons on either side that you can press with the directional buttons. If you press left, it will open the Loadouts panel. You press right on the Character screen and then you can quickly access all of your different gear mods.”</p>
<p class="has-default-font">By cutting down the number of navigation screens, Mod Customization and Loadouts have been designed to save time for players. “The time between when you conceive of a build and the time you’re playing with it is much shorter,” Thompson said. “Basically, it means more time shooting aliens in the face.”</p>

</div></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Up through the ranks</h2>
<p class="">Another pair of new features coming to Lightfall—Guardian Ranks and Commendations—have been designed with social gameplay in mind. At their core, Guardian Ranks are a visual shorthand that will let players easily understand the experience and abilities of other Guardians they encounter. Players who complete activities in the game will move up through the Guardian Ranks hierarchy as a natural result of playing the game, and some ranks will only be available to those who complete certain activities such as dungeons, Nightfalls, or raids.</p>
<p class="">Destiny 2’s new Commendations system will let players compliment fireteam members after an event or activity has ended. Example commendations include Joy Bringer, Selfless, and Playmaker, with each used to recognize positive qualities of gameplay and teamwork. Earning commendations will help you not only access the upper echelons of Guardian Ranks, it will also let everyone know that you are a good person to have on their fireteam.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Bungie Designer Steve Dolan said there’s a lofty goal that sits behind features like Guardian Ranks and Commendations: motivating the player to be better, not just in terms of skill, but also in terms of… being a person. “The reason why you want a good [Commendations] score is because a lot of the highest ranks are about helping the community,” Dolan said. “You can get to a pretty high Guardian Rank by just being good at the game. If you want to get to the highest ranks, you have to be good at the game and contribute positively to the community. All of a sudden, you’ve got someone who’s like, ‘Yeah, I’m rank nine but I want to help these rank fives because I want to get some commendations and really boost my score.’”</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/agitatedhilariousicelandicsheepdog
</div></figure>
<p class="">With its consistent focus on trying new activities—from Seasonal Challenges to tried and true modes like strikes and Nightfalls—the Guardian Ranks system also serves as a handy tool to let players know what optional activities are available to them if they’re looking to advance. At the start of each Season, players will be reset to Guardian Rank six (assuming they’ve reached that rank during the previous Season), and they’ll need to progress through Seasonal and higher-end content like dungeons and raids to attain rank seven and upward.</p>
<p class="">[With these systems in place] there’s this great gradual stepping up in understanding the systems of the game,” said Thompson. “You’re going to have all your progression in the narrative and then you also add the Guardian Ranks progression, where, if you do the challenges and then move up through the ranks, you will learn the things you need to know as you go. That’s a huge improvement over the way we’ve done it in the past because we can now say there is a progression to follow, there’s a logical next step.”</p>
<p class="">An epic new adventure, full of challenge, mystery, and thrills, and all bolstered by a bevy of features designed to make your life as a Guardian not just easier, but more friendly as well. It’s all coming with the launch of Destiny 2: Lightfall on February 28.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Play The Witch Queen for free this weekend</h2>

<p class="">80 years following the release of this epic sci-fi book series, Archiact is bringing the world of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation to life in VR. The groundbreaking saga that has been incredibly influential on science fiction, having shaped much of what we see today.</p>
<p class="">Adapting Asimov’s work into an immersive VR narrative adventure has been an incredible journey for our team, and we can’t wait for people to experience it first-hand.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">In this story-rich world, players are plunged into an epic journey through an area of space called The Periphery, where relationships will be strained, loyalties will be tested, and they must decide which factions will rise and fall. In this game, the future is in your hands.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Journey to Foundation</h2>
<p class="">More than just a title, Journey to Foundation embodies the mission you’ll embark on that will reshape an empire.</p>
<p class="">You play as Ward, an agent of the powerful Commission of Public Safety, who is sent to investigate civil unrest at the edge of the Galactic Empire. The Empire has kept peace across the galaxy for over 12 thousand years, but cracks have started to emerge. Stagnation, apathy, and internal revolt all threaten to break it apart.</p>
<p class="">Your mission takes a turn when you discover a group of defectors who are planning to abandon the Empire and make their way to the Foundation, an organization that was formed by famous psychohistorian Hari Seldon, who used mathematics to predict the Fall of the Empire. The player must join with the defectors to learn more about the Foundation and their plan to save humanity.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">In the end, you’ll need to decide who to trust. Will you fight for a dying Empire, or will you defect to the Foundation and help rebuild what has been lost?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Become a Galactic Spymaster</h2>
<p class="">Whether you employ subterfuge and diplomacy, or use threats and manipulation to get your way, you have an arsenal of equipment, weapons, and special tools to approach every situation with.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mentalics</h2>
<p class="">The power of mental science allows you to uncover and influence the emotions of people around you. Use this to your advantage to gain information peacefully… or forcibly.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Participatory conversations</h2>
<p class="has-default-font">Converse with or coerce the people around you and build relationships with your companions using an intricate conversation system.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Choice &amp; consequence</h2>
<p class="">Characters will respond to your actions (or lack thereof). Keep in mind: how you approach each situation will impact the world around you. You have the power to influence your environment; will you rely on stealth and diplomacy, or take a more direct approach?</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shape-shifting arsenal</h2>
<p class="">Let your weapon do the talking. Blast your way through areas with a set of swappable components to cover you and your companions in any situation.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cutting-edge tools</h2>
<p class="">At your disposal are the best spy tools the Empire has to offer: a plasma torch capable of cutting through the toughest alloys, a nanotech disguise that allows you to infiltrate enemy camps, and a sophisticated hacking tool that can penetrate the most complex computer systems.</p>

<p class="">In a world where humanity is lost – without soul, without intellect, without a will of their own – the fate of all mankind rests upon the wits and determination of a lone savior: you. </p>
<p class="has-default-font">…Oh, did I mention you’re a Shiba Inu?</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="">“One day, I woke up as a dog…”</p>
<p class="">Shiba Inus are the most popular small dog breed in Japan. Their innocent appearance and loyal personality have captured the heart of the Japanese nation since time immemorial, and people can be seen walking their Shiba Inu in towns and parks all over Japan.</p>
<p class="">In this world, however, the relationship between human and dog is turned on its head – this is the world of Humanity.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gameplay</strong></h2>
<p class="has-default-font">Stranded at the end of the world, people have lost their sense of purpose. You awake as a dog, and join the people in a series of “Trials” (i.e. stages), attempting to guide them towards pillars of light.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>
<p class="">With one simple “woof”, you issue commands to your followers – commands they will follow blindly, no matter the sacrifices involved in doing so. You can tell them which direction to walk, make them jump, have them float in midair and more – even have them fight against their enemies.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Each Trial features a variety of tricks, traps, and obstacles, including water and wind, mountains and valleys, switches and moveable objects. Each of these will affect or restrict what the people can do, and they combine together to form a series of fiendish puzzles.</p>

</div></figure>
<p class="has-default-font">Overcoming Trials and successfully leading the people can require deep thought, or sharp reflexes, or often a combination of both. Plus, things can get very crowded by the time you finally reach the goal, as the stage teems with swarms of people. Dealing with these giant crowds organically, in real-time, is one of the most interesting and satisfying parts of playing Humanity.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Story </strong></h2>
<p class="">What awaits you at the end of the Trials is…out of the ordinary, to say the least. We’d really like you to play the game for yourself to see how the story unfolds, but we’ll introduce one element here to whet your appetite.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">These are the Others.</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/windydimwittedizuthrush
</div></figure>
<p class="">While similar to the people in appearance, they live according to entirely different principles.</p>
<p class="">The Others and the people do have some things in common, though – which is what puts the two groups in competition, and ultimately in conflict, with each other…</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Do you try to avoid conflict with the Others, or do you seek to confront them head-on?</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-gfycat wp-block-embed-gfycat" tabindex="0"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="">In the game’s early stages, Humanity appears to be a rather peaceful action puzzler, but as you proceed through the story, it will transform into battles on a massive scale. This evolution in gameplay is just one of the things we hope you enjoy.</p>
<h2 class="has-default-font wp-block-heading"><strong>Stage Creator / User Stages </strong></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="">Humanity’s in-game Stage Creator allows you to create your own original stages and share them with the community, allowing them to be enjoyed by players all over the world.</p>
<p class="">The Stage Creator is easy to use but provides a great deal of creative freedom – it essentially allows you to have the same experience that we, the development team, had when creating stages!</p>
<p class="">Be sure to share your unique creations with the world. We’re really looking forward to seeing what you come up with, and to being surprised by your skill and creativity!</p>
<h2 class="has-default-font wp-block-heading"><strong>PlayStation VR2 compatible </strong></h2>

<p class="">Humanity is also compatible with PS VR2. The game really provides a unique sensation when experienced in VR, and simply feels great to play. It’s as though you’re a giant peering down at a world of tiny people, one where every nook and cranny has been delicately crafted. Indeed, when we experienced Humanity in VR, we realized what an incredible visual experience technology like this could provide. We really hope you all give it a try.</p>
<p class="">A demo of Humanity is available on PlayStation Store starting today and is open to play for a limited time*. It includes a handful of Story Mode stages for you to try, User Stages for you to play creations from other players around the globe, and our Stage Creator. Hop in, try out some stages or create your own. We hope you’ll check it out, and we’ll see you in the Trials!</p>
<p class="has-default-font has-small-font-size"><em>*Note: User Stages profile progress, stages created, favorited, or shared during the demo period will not carry over to the full version of the game.</em></p>

<p class="">Hey everyone! I’m Phil Crifo, Tchia’s Game Director and Awaceb Co-founder. Today we have some exciting news to share that many of you have been asking about for a while now. Tchia will be launching on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 21, 2023!</p>
<p class="has-default-font">We can’t wait for you to jump into our great adventure, and we’re delighted that the game will also be available as a Day 1 release with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">If you haven’t heard of Tchia, it’s an open world sandbox adventure inspired by our homeland of New Caledonia. It’s infused with all aspects of New Caledonian culture. We recreated iconic landmarks, populated the world with the local wildlife and even told the story using local languages, with all characters voiced by local talent! Check out a bit more about that in “Our Journey With Tchia”, a video series diving into the cultural inspirations behind the game.</p>

<p class="">Last month, we took you on a deep-dive into Tchia’s gameplay mechanics and showed off some of the cool stuff you can get up to. From swimming the ocean depths and setting sail on your customizable boat, to jamming out on your Ukulele or even becoming a coconut! Check it out <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2023/01/18/tchia-will-release-spring-2023-on-ps4-ps5-fresh-gameplay-details-shared/">here</a>.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">But in our new trailer that we unveiled today during the State of Play, we wanted to put a spotlight on the story and narrative themes. Despite its tropical setting, not everything is a vacation in the game. So get ready to sail into an unexpected and soulful coming-of-age journey with Tchia!</p>

<p class="has-default-font">The island that our heroine, Tchia, calls home has been invaded by strange fabric creatures called the Maano. They are acting under the orders of the archipelago’s evil ruler Meavora and have taken Tchia’s father. They can be pretty scary so in using everything at your disposal (including the environment!), you’ll have to keep your wits about you to take them out and rescue your father.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">For those willing to take their customization even further, we are also delighted to announce today that a special Oléti Edition (Oléti means “thank you” in Drehu) will be available at the launch of Tchia, featuring a selection of cosmetic items inspired by Kepler Interactive’s family of studios and games. Using the Kepler Customization Pack, you will be able to dress Tchia as the main character in Sifu, customize your boat in the nightmarish colors of Scorn, and even carry a backpack reminiscent of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn’s mysterious foxlike companion, Enki.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Hey everyone, I’m Graham Parkes, the writer and one of three directors behind Before Your Eyes— a first person narrative adventure which tells the story of a soul’s journey into the afterlife using a new and innovative form of interaction—your real-life blinks. Check out the trailer below.</p>

<p class="">Ever since co-director Will Hellwarth conceived of this title seven years ago, as a student project at USC, we’ve dreamed of it one day coming to virtual reality. What we never could have dreamed of is finding as exciting home for it as a launch title for the PS VR2.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">For one, the eye-tracking just works perfectly. With the PC version — everybody has a different webcam, different lighting conditions, which made it a real challenge. But with PSVR2’s advanced tracking technology, as soon as we got the headset on and started blinking around, it instantly felt like magic. </p>

<p class="">We always designed this game to be as accessible to as wide an audience as possible. It was a rule that anything we made for it had to pass “the Mom Test” — meaning that our non-gaming mothers could enjoy it as easily as the most hardcore gamer. The PS VR2 version makes this even more the case. After starting the game, you don’t even need a controller, you simply control the camera with your head movements, and interact and control the flow of the story simply by blinking. The emotional narrative surrounds and overwhelms you, as you relive precious memories of family, first love and the rise of an artistic career, before revealing a heartbreaking hidden truth.</p>
<p class="">We sincerely feel this version is the definitive way to experience this story which we’ve all poured so much of ourselves into over so many years. We can’t wait for fans both old and new to get their eyes on it.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Hey there! I’m Marcela Huerta, KO_OP’s Community Director. You haven’t heard from us here on the PS Blog for a while but we’re back with a vengeance to announce Goodbye Volcano High’s launch date trailer for State of Play!</p>
<div class="shortcode shortcode--youtube">
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUYB7tEAudA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

</div>
<p class="has-default-font">This is so huge for us, and we’re so grateful to have gotten this platform to tell you about it. Oh and that launch date, for the record, is June 15, 2023. It’s right around the end of the school year, so hopefully no exams will keep you away from the dino drama. You can wishlist the game on PlayStation Store starting today, and hope you’ll take the time to give that lil’ heart a click and show us some love.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707524920_c5dae185cc_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707524920_c5dae185cc_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">You may have noticed a few new voices in this trailer, and I wanted to give you the deets on who they were, since I’m sure the game aficionados among you noticed a few. We have Ozioma Akagha voicing Fang’s best friend and bug loving bandmate Trish, Abe Bueno-Jallad as Fang’s little brother slash dad joke connoisseur Naser, Allegra Clark as Naomi, the charmingly uptight class president with a heart of gold, and Mark Whitten as wise and delightfully chill drummer Reed. As announced in our last trailer, the iconic Lachlan Watson stars as Fang, GVH’s talented, anxious protagonist. We’re so over the moon with this cast, and can’t believe we get to deliver a fully voice-acted game; it really makes the world of Goodbye Volcano High feel so lived in. Also… don’t forget: we still have a lot more characters to announce voice actors for, so stay tuned!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706589682_cf2c678dd3_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="A conversation between two characters with text on-screen. Fey: ''He’s not flirting with you.''" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706589682_cf2c678dd3_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">Our newest trailer also features new performance footage and minigames! The performance shots put Worm Drama in the spotlight while showcasing one of Goodbye Volcano High’s strengths: the magical 2D animations (animations that people often mistake for 3D). The minigames give you a sneak peek at the types of interactions you’ll play through as Fang: whether it’s trying to stop yourself from doomscrolling or making your band’s poster (graphic design is my passion), players are really integrated into the day-to-day of Fang’s world.</p>

<p class="">Alongside these announcements we’re also using this opportunity to drop “Reunion,” the third single from the Goodbye Volcano High’s soundtrack. I was always obsessed with the vibes of this song, how bouncy and joyful it was, but when I read the lyrics it really got to me!! I just love a song about coming together after a crisis. Because what else do we have but each other in apocalyptic times? It’s melancholy as hell and I’m here for it!!</p>
<p class=""><em>Now we’re all together, never be alone</em><br/><em>(never be alone)</em><br/><em>We know better than to be on our own</em><br/><em>In this inferno</em></p>
<p class="has-default-font">As with the rest of the singles we’ve released (“Don’t Talk” for our delay announcement and “Constellations” for our last PlayStation announcement), “Reunion” is by our in-house audio director, Dabu, and features Brigitte Naggar. Dabu is known for his work on Dwarf Fortress, Boyfriend Dungeon, and Winding Worlds. Brigitte Naggar is a Canadian musician who’s released two full-length albums under the stage name Common Holly: <em>Playing House</em> and <em>When I say to you Black Lightning. </em> </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707524890_77e897ebac_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="An example of one of the minigames, as Fang strums her guitar, the player hit time button presses in time to the music." src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707524890_77e897ebac_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">As we get closer and closer to the finish line on this project, it’s beautiful to see the details our background and character artists have imagined get rigged and brought to life by our powerful animation team, with all the polish the programming department adds… seeing everything fully integrated into the final game is so unbelievably rewarding.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">We’re super grateful for your support and hope you’ll keep up with our development process here, by signing up to our newsletter, and by following us on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok! Thanks again, and see you on the internet!</p>

<h2 class="has-default-font wp-block-heading"><strong>The legendary grappler</strong></h2>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533927_09481a719c_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533927_09481a719c_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">One of the original World Warriors from Street Fighter II, Zangief is a colossal wrestler dedicated to physical improvement and instructing his students. Find Zangief flexing the beauty of his muscles in front of a raging crowd in Barmaley Steelworks, a steel mill known for its blast furnace. Yes, he wants you to look at his body.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309314_9420e1e364_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309314_9420e1e364_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">As the first grappler in the Street Fighter series, Zangief still has his trademark throws like Screw Piledriver and Siberian Express – all of which have been in previous entries in some way or form. During his time teaching, Zangief has picked up a new move called the Tundra Storm, which can be used to counter an opponent’s grounded kick resulting in a damaging throw.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469830_df9ac5e6a4_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469830_df9ac5e6a4_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Zangief’s V-Trigger I Cyclone Lariat from Street Fighter V returns as his Level 2 Super Art where he rotates at high speeds while pulling in his opponent. As a consummate showman, Zangief turns on the pro wrestling flair in his Level </p>
<p class="has-default-font">3 Super Art Bolshoi Storm Buster, where he lifts his opponent into the air and smashes them down head first.</p>
<a _blank"="" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309234_44a8351de0_h.jpg target="><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309234_44a8351de0_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="has-default-font wp-block-heading"><strong>One with the wind</strong></h2>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533797_9736a4d4d9_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533797_9736a4d4d9_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">Soaring in as a new character to Street Fighter 6, Lily is a descendant of the Thunderfoot tribe, the same tribe T. Hawk hails from. She speaks with the spirits of nature, trusting in their guidance as she travels the globe. Don’t judge a book by its cover—her small stature conceals truly gigantic power. Her home in the Thunderfoot Settlement is flush with vibrant colors and her people going about their daily lives. They revere Singing Wolf, the tribe’s eldest member.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060296_1eb2375779_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060296_1eb2375779_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">Lily wields two war clubs in battle to harness nature and to pack a heavier punch. Being from the same tribe as T. Hawk, she flies towards enemies with Condor Dive, Condor Spire, and Tomahawk Buster. She can use her unique move Condor Wind to grant one Windclad stock, which powers up the aforementioned special moves. </p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309144_13e366de58_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707309144_13e366de58_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">Lily spins around enemies, barraging them with her war clubs in her Level 1 Super Art Breezing Hawk. Be wary of the full force of the Thunderfoot tribe in Lily’s Level 3 Super Art Raging Typhoon, a spinning throw where she slams her opponent into the ground twice in the same manner as T. Hawk.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469470_7c8dd1fedb_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469470_7c8dd1fedb_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="has-default-font wp-block-heading"><strong>Her mission continues</strong></h2>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060211_ba02d0f888_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060211_ba02d0f888_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">The cat-loving Killer Bee is back! Cammy first appeared in Super Street Fighter II and is a member of British special forces unit Delta Red where she currently works at HQ. She distinguished herself in the operation against Shadaloo, with which she shares a fated connection. Hyper-competent but somewhat moody, Cammy kind of hates everything – except cats – and is no stranger to a fight on the streets. Keen-eyed sleuths can spot her in King Street, a foggy corner dotted with vestiges of the Industrial Age.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533657_86b473c4f3_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52706533657_86b473c4f3_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="has-default-font">Cammy fans will feel comfortable with her move set in Street Fighter 6, which improves on her legendary deadly moves. The Heavy version of Spiral Arrow, Cannon Spike, and Hooligan Combination can now be held down to delay the move while also changing its properties or damage. Cammy’s training back at HQ has also opened up more opportunities when using Hooligan Combination, but she wants that to remain confidential for now.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469570_1331900750_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707469570_1331900750_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Known for her bone-crunching throws, Cammy’s Level 2 Super Art Killer Bee Spin will make you wince again as she performs a chokehold on the opponent. Cammy’s Level 3 Super Art Delta Red Assault showcases her skills as a member of the special forces as she sends opponents to their knees before a series of purr-fect high-speed attacks.</p>
<a _blank"="" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060151_a3f3836311_h.jpg” target="><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707060151_a3f3836311_h.jpg” alt="/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The roster is complete!</strong></h2>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707308984_43fe597d6c_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52707308984_43fe597d6c_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">Zangief, Lily and Cammy join Ryu, Chun-Li, Luke, Jamie, Guile, Kimberly, Juri, Ken, Blanka, Dhalsim, E. Honda, Dee Jay, Manon, Marisa, and JP in the launch roster. Play each of these characters in Fighting Ground where you can partake in Versus Battles, Extreme Battles, Training, and more. You’ll also meet each of these Masters in the single-player immersive World Tour where you can mix and match their learned Special Moves from and call them to assist you in a fight. Finally, take your experience to the Battle Hub, your home for online matches and hanging out with the community.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Finally, we are proud to announce the return of the Capcom Pro Tour for the 2023 season which will kick off the Street Fighter 6 eSports era! To celebrate the launch of the game, the Capcom Pro Tour season will feature a total prize pool of more than $2 million, while the Capcom Cup Grand Finals Champion will receive a grand prize of $1 million! Who’s ready to be crowned the first Capcom Pro Tour Street Fighter 6 Champion and go home a millionaire?</p>

<p class="">The land of Faerûn is under siege by a hostile and otherworldly force known as mind flayers. Their army expands with every brain they infect with parasitic tadpoles, a creature that now wriggles deep within your own mind. You are becoming one of them: a monster feared across many worlds. But as their corruption grows within you, so do mysterious new powers.</p>
<p class="">Baldur’s Gate 3 is a next-generation cinematic RPG set in the Forgotten Realms. It’s a true Dungeons &amp; Dragons experience in video game form, and the long-awaited third installment in the Baldur’s Gate series. Whether you’ve been waiting for this game for 20+ years or the previous sentence is a mystery to you, adventure awaits you in Baldur’s Gate 3’s tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power.</p>
<p class="has-default-font">Create a character of your own or play as one of a dream-team of handcrafted Origin characters, each with their own unique traits, agenda, and outlook on the world. Their stories intersect with the entire narrative, and your choices will determine whether those stories end in redemption, salvation, domination, or many other outcomes.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Baldur’s Gate 3 is our biggest cinematic storytelling epic yet, and it’s designed to be played solo or with friends. With split-screen co-op for up to two players on one PS5, or as up to four players online, you and your chosen allies can combine forces in combat or split up to follow your own quests and agendas. Concoct the perfect plan together…or introduce an element of chaos when your friends least expect it.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">Our trailer gave you a first look at General Ketheric Thorm, one of three main antagonists you’ll encounter as you traverse the Forgotten Realms. Ketheric is a man with complex ambitions and motivations, so in searching for his voice, we knew we needed to work with a renowned character actor who could deliver the kind of nuanced performance we were looking for – so we decided to cast JK Simmons (Whiplash, Spider-Man). One take and we knew we’d made the right call. Here’s a peek behind the scenes:</p>

</div>
<p class="">We’ll introduce you to two more antagonists over the coming months – keep an eye out. (But definitely close your eyes if someone approaches with anything resembling a tadpole.)</p>
<p class="">Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 on August 31, 2023, but if you’re itching to gather your party and set out for adventure, you can pre-order Baldur’s Gate 3 Collector’s Edition or Baldur’s Gate 3: Deluxe Edition today to get a head start on your Forgotten Realms journey on August 28th.</p>

<p class="has-default-font">At today’s Sony State of Play, we revealed not only our first look at 4-player co-op gameplay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but also shared our first behind the scenes look at the game. We really hope you’ve enjoyed hearing about the game direct from the Rocksteady team in our own words. This is just a brief glimpse at what’s in store for our players in the months ahead.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A gameplay experience for everyone</h2>
<p class="">In the section of gameplay we showed, the Suicide Squad face off against waves of Brainiac’s corrupted soldiers to take down a huge artillery gun that has been phased into Earth from… somewhere. With their unique traversal abilities, gunplay, melee, tactics, and teamwork, they must use the chaos to their advantage and succeed in their own style. </p>
<p class="has-default-font">The result? A fluid combat and traversal system unique to each villain’s violent tastes. Whether you want to jump to the top of a building in a single leap as King Shark or speed force to your trusty boomerang as Captain Boomerang, each playable character delivers unique skills and abilities tailored to them.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get a deeper look at the game</h2>
<p class="">If you want an even closer look into the world of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, then come and meet the team in our behind the scenes featurette that takes us, and the Squad, out of Arkham Asylum, and into DC’s “City of Tomorrow”, Metropolis.</p>
<p class="">With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, we want to create a game where the city itself becomes part of the combat. In order to do this, we knew we had to make our biggest map yet — Metropolis is more than twice the size of Batman: Arkham Knight’s Gotham, but it’s not just about size: we’ve put the detail and personality in our world that we think makes it feel alive, and that players expect from us. </p>
<p class="">Each member of our Suicide Squad has a unique method of traversing around and exploring this city, and with 1-to-4-player gameplay options and skill trees for each character, you’re able to play how you want, when you want. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So much more on the horizon</h2>
<p class="">There’s so much more to share for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the months ahead, and we can’t wait to watch players jump into our vision of Metropolis when the game launches! </p>

<p class="">In Midgar, the slums bustle with people, mako reactors smolder, and the soil turns to dust; carried by breezes flowing through smog-filled air. The whole place could use a good hose down. Through the fog, a new hero emerges, clad in blue, wielding… a powerwasher. </p>
<p class="">Okay, so, you might not be able to cleanse the world of the Shinra scourge, but you <em>can</em> just straight up cleanse the world! Whilst Avalanche deals with Shinra, you’ll deal with the fallout. The only power struggle you’re tasked with is keeping hold of that washer.  </p>

<p class="">We are proud to have worked with the Final Fantasy VII team to transport PowerWash Simulator players to one of gaming’s most recognisable cities, in a fresh and authentic way. Players will fall in love with it once more in the new Midgar Special Pack, releasing March 2.  </p>
<p class="">Free to all owners of PowerWash Simulator, the expansion features five filthy new maps to wash and explore, including iconic locations, vehicles and mechs. I’ll pass over to some of FuturLab’s designers, who worked on the Midgar Special Pack, to provide a closer look at the inspiration behind two of the levels, the Scorpion Sentinel and Seventh Heaven. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Mighty Scorpion Sentinel</strong> </h2>
<p class="">One of the most memorable boss fights in Final Fantasy VII is without a doubt the Scorpion Sentinel, making it a perfect job for the Midgar Special Pack. The player will encounter the Sentinel before its deployment against the members of Avalanche, and here it is seen to have been put through a series of tests by Shinra to evaluate its various defensive capabilities. </p>

<p class="">We’ve represented a variety of scratches and projectile ricochet marks via a new Battle Damage dirt type. Additionally, the Scorpion Sentinel bears the consequences of a test with one of Professor Hojo’s specimens, as seen from the splats of bio residue present all around the machine from this creature’s attacks. As the Sentinel is powered by Mako energy (my favourite new dirt type), we have deposited it in key areas to illustrate how the Sentinel had been pushed to its limits. The rest of the dirt is mostly grime that accumulated during the various trials the Scorpion Sentinel underwent. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Charming Seventh Heaven</strong> </h2>
<p class="">For the Midgar special pack, we absolutely knew we had to tackle the best bar in Sector 7 and home of Avalanche, Seventh Heaven. Not only does it give players the opportunity to hear from beloved FFVII characters like Cloud and Tifa (while also being able to clean some of gaming’s coolest weapons like Barret’s gun and Cloud’s buster sword) but our first-person perspective also offers the opportunity to take a closer look at Tifa’s decorating skills and explore areas of the bar players couldn’t see as easy before. </p>

This results in a very satisfying cleaning experience with a uniquely Final Fantasy finish!”</p><cite>– Sam Jenkins, Designer </cite></blockquote>

<p class="">Alongside the Scorpion Sentinel and Seventh Heaven, you will also spray down the Hardy Daytona and Shinra Hauler, the Mako Energy Exhibit, and the formidable Airbuster. </p>
<p class="">Whether you’re a dirt detailer or a chaotic cleaner, each map will afford you the time and space to appreciate the captivating city and some of Shinra’s finest tech as never before… you know, as it’s not attacking you this time.  </p>
<p class="">Whilst the fate of the city may be muddy, perhaps you can help clear a path for a few plucky heroes. The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator releases on March 2.</p>

<p class="">The Outer Worlds was received incredibly well from fans all over the world and won multiple awards, so having the opportunity to improve on something we know people love has been a real pleasure. </p>
<p class="">If you aren’t too familiar with the game, here’s a brief summary: </p>
<p class="">Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the edge of the galaxy, you awake decades after your planned date only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the colony. Explore the various planets and locations of Halcyon, including the mysterious Gorgon Asteroid and the delightful distillery on Eridanos. As you encounter various factions, all vying for power, the decisions you make determine how the narrative unfolds.</p>
<a href="//live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705299290_8c344d8461_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="//live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705299290_8c344d8461_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">The newest generation of consoles came out just a year after the game’s original release. So for us it made sense to freshen up the base game, bundle available content, take advantage of the PlayStation 5’s latest hardware capabilities and the DualSense Controller trigger feedback to help make sure it would live on and stay relevant for many more years to come. Hence, The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition.</p>
<p class="">Here’s how the teams did it.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Going beyond visual enhancements</h2>
<p class="">Sure, improving the visuals is part of the deal. We were able to update to 4K, 60FPS graphics, enhance volumetric lighting, improve particle systems, and enhance the environments with increased asset density. We also raised the bar in several additional ways: we made the combat and companion AIs smarter, improved the open-world sensation through better depth of field and by reworking existing vistas, updated varying weather conditions, and we reworked character models and animations. Don’t worry, we didn’t dare touch the core of what made The Outer Worlds great. There’s no point in reinventing the wheel, but fresh tires are always a plus.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705299255_6f6840ceb2_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705299255_6f6840ceb2_h.jpg"/></a>
<p class="">That being said, a completely new and exciting feature set is the DualSense wireless controller adaptive triggers and haptics. When employing ranged weapons, players will appreciate different trigger effects depending on the type. For a weapon like the flamethrower, the player will sense linear pressure. When firing an automatic weapon, trigger kickback will generate a pulse-like effect for each round fired. And for single-shot weapons such as a sniper or a shotgun, the trigger pressure effect will mimic the sensation of squeezing a trigger until the pin fires and the resistance lessens. Pretty neat, right? The game won’t just look better, it’ll also feel sharper.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705370758_d5e5646e34_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52705370758_d5e5646e34_h.jpg"/></a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enhancing a legacy</h2>
<p class="">If the improvements we have already described were not enough to justify this new edition, we thought this Spacer’s Choice Edition would make even more sense if it included the base game’s DLCs: Peril on Gorgon and Murder on Eridanos. So we did just that. Now the experience is even richer! On a side note: we know that several spacers out there enjoyed the fact that this was an approachable experience, not too short but not too long either. Rest assured, both DLCs do not extend the main story line. They exist on the side, offering a fresh narrative arc to enjoy if and when you feel like it once you’ve reached the appropriate level. Oh, and we increased the level cap to 99, to give players even more ways to build their character from the seven branches of the skill tree.</p>
<p class="">If you already own The Outer Worlds base game and its associated DLC, Peril on Gorgon and Murder on Eridanos, for PlayStation 4, you will be able to upgrade to The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition on PlayStation 5 for a reduced price.*</p>
<p class="">The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition is out March 7.</p>

<p class="">As the highly anticipated June 22 release of Final Fantasy XVI draws near, fans of the iconic franchise eagerly await what promises to be a new and thrilling addition to the beloved series.</p>
<p class="">I was lucky enough to go hands on with Final Fantasy XVI, and even had the opportunity to interview some of the key members of the development team. After my time with the game, I came away with a deep appreciation for its many strengths, and am convinced that it will become an essential PS5 title.</p>
<p class="">One thing is certain, Final Fantasy XVI has assembled a stellar line-up of creators, each with a proven track record of delivering unforgettable gaming experiences. Leading the project is producer Naoki Yoshida, widely regarded as one of Square Enix’s most beloved figures and the mastermind behind Final Fantasy XIV, which he transformed into a massively successful title. Yoshida has brought with him key members of his XIV team, including Masayoshi Soken, the composer responsible for XIV’s soaring score, who will create the soundtrack for XVI, and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox, the mastermind behind XIV’s intricate lore, who will oversee localization, writing, culturalization and lore for the title. Ryota Suzuki, the Capcom veteran responsible for Devil May Cry 5’s satisfying combat, heads the combat department, while art direction is provided by Hiroshi Minagawa, whose credits include Final Fantasy XII, Tactics, and XIV. At the helm of this all-star team is Hiroshi Takai, a Square Enix veteran known for his contributions to the SaGa series and The Last Remnant. With such a talented group of creators, Final Fantasy XVI promises to be an unforgettable gaming experience that fans won’t want to miss.</p>
<p class="">Below, I’ll share some of the standout aspects of the title that left the greatest impression on me, and that I believe will make this game an unforgettable experience for fans of the series and newcomers alike.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The thrills of real-time combat and high-octane Eikon fights</h2>
<p class="">In Valisthea, nations are safeguarded by Eikons, enormous and potent creatures each harnessing an elemental power. These mighty beings reside within Dominants, mortal hosts blessed with the ability to summon their respective Eikon’s incredible strength. As nations clash, Eikon fights make for bigger-than-life combat. Channeling Japanese Kaiju culture from the likes of Ultraman, Evangelion, and Attack on Titan, boss battles will see grand showdowns between Final Fantasy’s Titan, Garuda, Shiva, Ifrit, Phoenix, Bahamut and more, each battle entirely unique in their setting, movement, and gameplay.</p>
<p class="">And when these colossal creatures aren’t engaged in battles, the protagonist Clive Rosfield is equipped with a range of combat abilities he learns as the story progresses, peppering them in fights to execute impressive combos. </p>
<p class="">“We drew a little bit of inspiration from the Final Fantasy V ability system in the sense that Clive learns abilities from the Eikons he encounters on his journey, and can combine them in countless unique ways to create a powerful arsenal of techniques,” says Ryota Suzuki. </p>
<p class="">With this Devil May Cry 5 veteran leading the way and Final Fantasy XVI departing from turn-based battles to focus on real-time combat, the gameplay felt fast-paced, intricate, and incredibly exhilarating.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A high skill ceiling yet accessible gameplay experience</h2>
<p class="">Perhaps one of the things I found most impressive and exciting about XVI’s combat system is how the title does away with difficulty settings. No need to choose between easy, normal or hard at the beginning of your playthrough: you will have two options: action-focused or story-focused. Behind these two options, there’s in fact a singular experience, with enemies just as ferocious in the story-focused mode as they are in the action-focused one, with the single difference that picking story-focus grants players access to a particular set of accessories from the very start of their playthrough.</p>
<p class="">To make the game more accessible to players who may be less familiar with action gameplay, Final Fantasy XVI features a variety of helpful accessories. There are five to choose from, each offering unique benefits and picking the story-focused setting will let you equip two from the get go. One accessory slows down time to make it easier to perform perfect dodges, while another fully automates the controls of Torgal, Clive’s loyal canine companion. One accessory automatically uses potions when your health is running low, and another automatically dodges incoming attacks for you. </p>
<p class="">Perhaps the most visually striking accessory, however, lets you dish out a series of powerful combos and finishers based on your available cooldowns at the (repeated) press of a single button, showcasing the full breadth and intricacy of the combat system for virtually none of the price, and making for a flashy experience. With these accessories, Final Fantasy XVI is designed to be accessible to a wide range of players, regardless of previous experience with action games.</p>
<p class="">However, action gamers – do not fret. The skill ceiling is even higher in the third setting you’ll get to pick once you finish the game. Aptly named ‘Final Fantasy’, the New Game+ mode will provide players with an extra challenge should they be up for it, not only increasing the strength of enemies but also their placement throughout the game as well as providing players with full-on different battles.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A narrative landscape of high fantasy and political intrigue</h2>
<p class="">Unlike its predecessor, which ventured into more modern territory, XVI takes us on a journey back to the roots of the franchise, immersing us in a world of high fantasy that draws inspiration from medieval Europe. The realm of Valisthea is built around powerful Mothercrystals that provide aether, the magical force that has been a staple of the Final Fantasy universe since its inception. As nations form around these crystals, each developing its own customs and philosophies, a delicate balance emerges, punctuated by periods of precarious peace. But when the aether starts to drain, tensions rise, and deep political conflicts threaten to tear Valisthea apart.</p>
<p class="">Against this backdrop of uncertainty, players will embark on Clive’s journey, a tale of revenge with his own personal, unique motivations. And of course, he won’t be traveling alone. </p>
<p class="">According to Naoki Yoshida, individual stories will be essential. “We have a vast ensemble cast,” says Yoshida. “Each character is unique in their backgrounds and motivations, and each has their own unique arcs that play out through the story. And while the main focus of this story is on Clive Rosfield, as he seeks vengeance for the loss of his family and nation. Through his journey, players will witness the fates of many other characters as well.”</p>
<p class="">To support this rich narrative, Final Fantasy XVI will feature a brand-new system called Active Time Lore, or ATL for short. </p>
<p class="">“Our story is deep and focuses on the characters, but we wanted to make the world feel alive and give reasons for why things are happening,” says Michael-Christopher Koji Fox “We created a history that goes back over 1500 years, which influences the story.” </p>
<p class="">This very in-depth feature is integrated throughout and will allow you to pause the game at any point, even mid-cutscene, and get tailored lore prompts to refresh your memory on a character just mentioned, a nation’s history, or a particular event that took place. </p>
<p class="">“We have hundreds of entries available,” Koji Fox continues, “but players can also choose to ignore them and enjoy the game without feeling bogged down.”</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical prowess fuelled by PS5’s hardware</h2>
<p class="">Final Fantasy XVI sets a new standard in technical achievement that cannot be ignored. Its vast and beautiful world can be explored with ease, seamlessly transitioning between battle, exploration, and cutscenes without any pesky loading times. Thanks to the incredible speed of the PS5’s SSD, players can immerse themselves in a non-stop rollercoaster ride of gameplay. But that’s not all either, the DualSense wireless controller adds a whole new level of immersion with its impressive range of haptic feedback. </p>
<p class="">“In terms of the haptic feedback, we take the sound effect data from our cutscenes and transfer it into vibration data,” says Hiroshi Takai “While an explosion will obviously create a big vibration, it’s the smaller sounds and subtle variations in vibration that really stood out to us. It’s like going from one generation of controllers to the next.” </p>
<p class="">The portion of FFXVI that I had the opportunity to play was a vertical slice of the main questline, which took place a few hours into the game. During this segment Clive Rosfield was accompanied by Cidolfus Telamon and Torgal as we tracked down one of the dominants. In this pursuit, we ventured through a castle and encountered numerous enemies, culminating in two thrilling boss battles. It’s important to note that the version of the game that I experienced is still in development and may undergo further changes before its final release on June 22, 2023.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Best PS5 Indie Game – Stray</strong></h2>
<p class="">The first thing you need to know about the game voted as the best PS5 Indie Game is that it has a dedicated <em>meow</em> button. The second thing you need to know is that Stray is a wonderfully creative adventure about a cat lost in the depths of a neon-drenched cyberpunk world, surrounded by a cast of fascinating robots. From the moment it was revealed, it was clear developer BlueTwelve Studio had something special on their hands, and clearly PS5 players agree.</p>
<p class="">Stray is playable now on PS4 and PS5, and PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can start meowing at no extra cost.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Best PS5 Graphical Showcase – God of War Ragnarök</strong></h2>
<p class="">Sony Santa Monica brought the Nine Realms to life in incredible detail in last year’s God of War Ragnarök. The snow-covered peaks of Midgard stand in stark contrast to the scorched landscape of Muspelheim and the towering walls of Asgard, ensuring no area is like the last. Set to this backdrop, Kratos, Atreus and their companions’ beautiful design and stunning animations make God of War Ragnarök an incredible visual spectacle on PS5.</p>
<p class="">You can explore the Nine Realms today, with God of War Ragnarök available now on PlayStation Store. If you’re a PlayStation Plus Premium member, you can try three hours of the adventure at no extra cost with the recently-added Game Trial.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Honorable mentions:</strong></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Best PS5 Game – God of War Ragnarök</strong></h2>
<p class="">Whittling down the list of incredible PS5 games was always going to be a challenge, but there could only be one winner. God of War Ragnarök came out swinging in November 2022 and has continued to to impress as more players join Kratos and Atreus on their adventure. Combining incredible storytelling with visceral combat, gritty boss fights and a cast of unforgettable characters, Sony Santa Monica’s latest installment is an unmissable choice for all PS5 owners.</p>

<p class=""><strong>Update: </strong>We’re happy to announce part two of the Sony Creator to Creator: Inside The Last of Us is now available to watch below, as creators and actors of The Last of Us continue to discuss tackling the challenge and opportunity of bringing The Last of Us to television. </p>
<hr class="ps-block-separator has-max-width-85"/>
<p class="has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size has-max-width-80 has-margin-bottom-25"><em><strong><strong>Spoiler warning:</strong> the talks take our roundtable through to episode 8 of the HBO show.</strong></em></p>
<hr class="ps-block-separator has-max-width-85"/>
<p class="">Here at PlayStation Productions, we strive to introduce our notable gaming IP to new audiences and we recognize that adapting video games from their interactive medium to another is no simple task. In the case of The Last of Us show on HBO, this meant retelling a story beloved by fans of the game in a faithful yet compelling way for TV. Thankfully the show’s top-tier creators were up to the exciting challenge, combining decades of shared experience making video games and TV shows.</p>
<p class="">We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive reception so far and as we near the finale in the next few weeks, I’m delighted to introduce the latest chapter in Sony’s Creator to Creator series for the Last of Us. This two-part series features the creators and cast reflecting on their time working on the games and show. The participants include:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Neil Druckmann, Executive Producer / Co-President at Naughty Dog</li><li>Craig Mazin, Executive Producer</li><li>Pedro Pascal (Joel)</li><li>Bella Ramsey (Ellie)</li><li>myself, Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions at SIE</li></ul>
<p class="">This first roundtable features the creators talking about tackling the challenge and opportunity of bringing The Last of Us to HBO. Neil Druckmann discusses the new creative experience of directing a TV episode. Bella talks about their performance of Ellie being an organic blend of themself and the iconic character. Pedro reflects on trudging through snow while on-set fans blast freezing air to simulate a blizzard. Craig talks about the benefit of having detail-oriented fans on the production crew, and how nervousness around getting the adaptation right translated to care and consideration.</p>
<p class="">Thanks to The Last of Us crew taking the time to share their incredible creative journey. Please enjoy, and thanks for watching. Stay tuned for part two coming in the near future.</p>

<p class="">HELL-A can be dangerous since the zompocalypse happened and the locals got so bitey. Luckily, Slayers in Dead Island 2 have their own customizable skill decks to help level the playing field against the undead Angelinos trying to feast on them.</p>
<p class="">But, “what exactly is a skill deck, and how is it going to help me maximize my zombie slaying potential?” you ask. Well, first, we need to talk skill cards.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skill cards</h2>
<p class="">Gained from leveling up, found hidden around the city of LA and scavenged from slain zombie foes, skill cards are collectible items that, once equipped, grant Slayers special powers, abilities, and boons to aid them in combat situations.</p>
<p class="">Some of them make you faster, more agile, or stronger; some reward you with buffs each time you pull off that perfect decapitation, and some will set fire to zombies you drop kick, turning them into flying, flaming sacks of rotten flesh. No, we aren’t kidding; there is a card that does that.</p>
<p class="">Whether you’re out to pump up your stats to become the ultimate slaying machine or want access to an arsenal of acrobatic attack move so you can slaughter zombies with maximum style points, there’s a skill card to suit your needs.</p>
<p class="">We want you to have total freedom in how you play, regardless of which of the six Slayers you choose to battle through HELL-A. That’s why we’ve made the vast majority of skill cards applicable to everyone.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The right deck for the job</h2>
<p class="">The skill deck is where you can browse your collection of skill cards and choose which ones you want to equip.</p>
<p class="">Say you’ve come across a zombie posing a bit more of a challenge than the typical shambling husk – maybe they look like they’ve been hitting the gym and eating their greens. Or they have blades coming out of their arms, <em>yikes.</em></p>
<p class="">It’s time to make sure you’re working with the right skills to get the job done, which is why we made the skill deck in Dead Island 2 fully remappable, at any point.</p>
<p class="">If you wish to tweak a single card or completely change your playstyle – say from a tanky brawler to an agile assassin — you can do so at any given moment with total ease.</p>
<p class="">Part of the magic of building your skill deck is experimenting with all the different perks and abilities skill cards grant you to find wickedly fun and effective synergies that suit your playstyle.</p>
<p class="">But, to help get you started, here are a couple of the Team at Dambuster’s favorite combinations.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coming in hot</h2>
<p class="">Combine the Dash Strike ability with the Slayer skill Hammer Fist to unleash a strike capable of launching zombies into the stratosphere. This card combo is ideal for pushing zombies off those Beverly Hills mansion rooftops to their demise or into pools of acid and other dangerous substances. Bumped into a zombie donning a grenade belt? Pull the pin and send them into a crowd of their own kind for <em>explosive</em> results.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scorched earth</h2>
<p class="">Mix the Ground Pound<em> </em>Ability with the survivor skills Flare Up and Quake to create a truly devastating ground smash that topples zombies and ignites the floor underneath them. We recommend this one when crowd control is critical — getting swarmed by walkers? Go complete “Hulk smash!” and leave the Z’s crawling through flames to get to you.</p>

                '<div class="post-single__content single__content entry-content">
<p class="">Hello folks, I’m Ryan Bousfield, founder and director of Wolf &amp; Wood Interactive, and I’m here today to announce that our upcoming game, The Last Worker will be launching on PlayStation 5 and on PS VR2 on March 30!</p>
<p class="">For people who may not be familiar with the game, let me give you a quick run-down. The Last Worker is a first-person narrative adventure we are creating with Jörg Tittel (writer, director) and Wired Productions (publisher) that balances light work simulation tasks with stealth gameplay and a deliciously dark and satirical story, performed by a star-studded cast (featuring the likes of Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jason Isaacs, Clare-Hope Ashitey, David Hewlet, Zelda Williams, and Tommie Earl Jenkins).</p>
<p class="">You are Kurt, the very last human worker for Jüngle – the most profitable company in the world. Kurt is responsible for “delivering dreams” along with his co-bot assistant SKEW,  navigating a <em>huge</em> distribution centre (larger than the sunken island of Manhattan) on a gravity defying pod, and then using your “Jünglegun” to retrieve, analyse and then tag products appropriately before dispatching or destroying them.  Kurt is pretty happy with his lot, all things considered – that is until a contact from a shadowy organisation disrupts his day to day work and offers him the chance to peek below the surface of Jüngle and the dark secrets that built an empire…</p>
<p class="">The Last Worker will be playable in both traditional “flat mode” and PS VR2 compatible, with both versions of the game built independently to make the most of the strengths of each version of the game, and of course make the most of the unique features that PlayStation 5 and PS VR2 hardware brings to the table.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hybrid game and Saves</h2>
<p class="">The Last Worker will be available as a PS5 and PSVR2 title, but you won’t need to pay for an upgrade, when you buy the game you receive both versions – and the save files and progress carry over between them. This means if you spend the morning fully immersed in the PS VR2 world of JFC-1, but want to quickly get a shift in later without putting on your headset, you can simply play on your TV.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4K HDR PS VR2 visuals</h2>
<p class="">The Last Worker features a gorgeous stylised world, that blends custom shading and art from concepts drawn by comic artist legend Mick Mcmahon (known for his work on 2000 AD characters such as Judge Dredd and Sláine) that have been lovingly adapted by our team hand drawing each and every pen stroke in 3D! This has led to a vibrant, colourful world that is brought to life in spectacular fashion with the PS VR2’s two 2000×2040 OLED screens.</p>

<p class="">Wolf &amp; Wood have previously released PS VR titles, and understand the importance of audio in crafting a believable immersive world, this is no different for The Last Worker, with crisp 3D audio implementation allowing every explosion, piece of dialogue from the cast or track from the OST (Which was created by Olver Kraus, known for his collaborations with Adele, Sia, Florence and the Machine, and others) to come through crystal clear regardless of your position.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Adaptive triggers and haptic feedback</h2>
<p class="">As Kurt’s story progresses, so does the selection of tools available to him, from using the Jünglegun as a makeshift hacking tool to a powerful EMP gun – each tool you’ll use to complete your day job (or perform espionage) includes unique feedback through use of the adaptive triggers and powerful haptic feedback – whether you’re labeling a package or flinging rats into the face of a pursuing security bot.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PS VR2 headset feedback</h2>
<p class="">One of the PS VR2 features we’re most excited is the feedback on the headset itself – and for The Last Worker we’ve ensured that they are responsive to the action on screen as you soar around JFC-1 to put you right in the hotseat of Kurt’s Jünglepod. The impactful chaos of flying debris, gigantic robots, and explosions are all simulated for the player with optional headset haptics.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52718071996_ab6a9b6e1d_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52718071996_ab6a9b6e1d_h.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class="">We can’t wait for you to experience all this and more – no matter how you choose to play The Last Worker, you’ll become immersed in exploring the dark underbelly of Jüngle and the important story shared by Kurt. Until then, keep your eyes peeled on the Wired Productions and The Last Worker social accounts for more information, and we’ll look forward to your induction day on March 30.</p>

<p class="">Overwatch 2 is teaming up with the world-renowned One-Punch Man anime to bring a set of collectible cosmetics to the game, available for a limited-time from March 7 – April 6! Overwatch 2 Associate Director Aimee Dennet and Art Director Dion Rogers share their thoughts ahead of the ground-breaking collaboration, which marks a first for Overwatch 2 and paves the way for other exciting potential IP crossovers for the game in the future. The team is excited to reveal the Genos – Genji skin from the collaboration here, for the first time, today on PlayStation Blog.</p>
<p class="center"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcnk3dTZuazl1ZWc3OW83YzBwdm0xc25md2RweXE2YTk0cHpsN29kZCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/mJeGWiHlMiYWmItHCQ/giphy.gif" width="1920"/></p>
<p class=""><strong>What led to the idea of specifically bringing One-Punch Man into the world of Overwatch?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Aimee Dennett, Associate Director, Overwatch 2] We’re obsessed with anime on the Overwatch team! Much like our player base, we have fun thinking about crossovers and similarities shared between characters from our favorite shows. Doomfist and Saitama were a very natural fit in our minds, given their abilities. They’re also both bald. It doesn’t hurt that our game director Aaron Keller is also a big One-Punch Man fan.</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52722904607_43667d3848_6k.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="1080" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52722904607_43667d3848_6k.jpg" width="1920"/></a>
<p class=""><strong>Both Genos and Genji have tragic backstories in common, can you discuss whether these shared experiences made for a perfect crossover, as well as any other inspiration that led to the Genos-Genji character?</strong><br/><br/>[Aimee] The similarities between Genos’s and Genji’s backstories were certainly an inspiration. They are both humans who were pushed to the brink of death, only to be rescued and transformed into cyborgs by doctors from their respective universes. We also liked the fact that both Genji and Genos have a strong relationship with their mentors. In fact, there was an idea that Zenyatta would make for an excellent Saitama given this relationship (he’s also bald!) but Doomfist was always the clear choice for us.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Which aspects of Genos’s aesthetic and ability were most important to capture in the world of Overwatch?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Dion Rogers, Art Director, Overwatch 2] Genos was a perfect fit for Genji. The two characters are essentially cyborgs, and both have very serious and intense attitudes. We wanted to make sure players recognized that our characters are essentially cosplaying the OPM heroes. Genos’s spiky blonde hair was an interesting challenge, the closer we matched the style the more we lost Genji in the process. Our concept artists were careful to combine the two heroes’ main aesthetics without losing either character in the process. </p>

<p class=""><strong>What was the thought behind creating a hybridized Genos-Genji crossover skin, rather than trying to create a fully 1-to-1 Genos skin?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Aimee] Blizzard games have very detailed lore and universes, and Overwatch is no exception. From a canon perspective, Overwatch takes place on Earth. One-Punch Man is an anime that exists on Earth, so it’s not immersion breaking if you see the existence of One-Punch Man in the game. For our first major collaboration, we wanted to be especially thoughtful and delicate about this piece, and thought the approach of our heroes “cosplaying” characters would fit nicely. There’s also something fun about the idea that canon Genji is a fan of One-Punch Man, sees himself specifically in Genos, and would cosplay as that character. That said, we’re exploring non-canon opportunities in the future, like the Overwatch dating simulator we ran for Valentine’s Day.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Are there any specific details you want to make sure One-Punch Man fans notice about this crossover?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Aimee] Yes! We are sure fans of One-Punch Man will find some fun Easter Eggs. I’m especially excited to see the reaction to the game lobby during the event.</p>
<p class=""><strong>What were the most rewarding aspects of developing this crossover creatively?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Aimee] It’s probably unsurprising that there are a lot of geeks that work on Overwatch 2, and we all have our own personal slices of pop culture that we’re passionate about. It was hugely rewarding to see people who have always loved One-Punch Man brainstorm about bringing their favorite anime into the thing they work on every day. It’s also very rewarding to see the reactions of players who also happen to love One-Punch Man! It feels like a conversation we’re having with our players, about how we as a team share the same passions as them.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Can we look forward to more exciting Overwatch 2 x One-Punch Man crossovers in the future?</strong></p>
<p class="">[Aimee] We’ll see! This collaboration was a lot of fun to work on and we hope our players enjoy it!</p>

<p class="">The PS5 console’s <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2023/02/02/ps5-beta-introduces-discord-voice-chat-vrr-support-for-1440p-and-more/">latest system software update rolled out globally yesterday</a> to all PS5 players, and many of you have already checked out new features like Discord voice chat and 1440p VRR support.</p>
<p class="">For a peek behind the curtain, we sat down with Hiromi Wakai, VP of Product Management based out of Tokyo, to discuss how the new features came together and what’s next beyond this latest update.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid <strong>Shuman</strong>: Good to speak with you again, Hiromi! Can you tell us about your role at PlayStation?</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi Wakai: My team covers the product management role for the hardware products, system software updates, and network services for PlayStation, working closely with teams in the U.S. and Europe. I’m fortunate to help guide our product strategy on a global basis.</p>
<p class="">I joined Sony Group in 2001 and came to SIE in 2005, so I’ve been working on PlayStation products for almost 18 years. It’s been a wonderful journey of listening to our fans and game development partners as we work to deliver new features and products that unlock the possibilities of play.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid: Discord voice chat is a big addition.</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: Discord voice chat has been one of the biggest requests from our community and we’ve worked hard with the Discord team to deliver an experience that we hope our players will enjoy. I use Discord when I’m playing a Final Fantasy XIV raid with my friends who are gaming on PC, so Discord voice chat is a feature that’s important to me and one we’re very happy to bring to our community. Together with Discord, we want to make it easier for people to connect with each other, wherever they enjoy gaming.</p>

<p class=""></p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid: What are some of your favorite features in this new update?</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: I’m very happy that we are delivering Variable Refresh Rate support for 1440p because it’s been a highly requested feature from players who enjoy gaming on 1440p-supported monitors. VRR is a great way to enhance the visual performance of PS5 games so it’s exciting that more of our gamers will be able to enjoy this feature.</p>
<p class="">The ability to update your DualSense controller wirelessly is another feature that I feel adds convenience for players and makes the experience of updating your controller’s device software that much easier.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid: How do you determine which features make it into a system update?</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: Our inspiration comes from our players so we are constantly listening to their feedback. We are always thinking about the features that our fans might want to see and ways to make their gaming experiences on PS5 more fun, social, and connected. It’s also important for us to minimize friction in players’ ability to easily jump into the experiences they want to enjoy on PS5. We keep a very long list of features and think carefully about how we prioritize our time and resources to deliver the ones that will make the most meaningful impact on our players’ experience.</p>
<p class="">Our focus is not just enhancing the core PS5 experience but also delivering great integrated platform experiences for new products, like the deep control customization options for the DualSense Edge wireless controller and PlayStation VR2. We are excited to introduce even more new features to players in the future!</p>

<p class=""><strong>Sid: What are some of the challenges you encounter when developing a system update? I’m guessing that some of them are more complicated than they might seem…</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: Definitely. Every system update is a very large development effort with many dozens of updates, from major features to smaller enhancements. Even a small update may take a lot of engineering resources and time to develop, so keeping track of all the details and making sure we’re delivering quality experiences that meet our players’ expectations is always a dynamic and exciting challenge. That’s why we rely so much on players to help us test these features in our betas and help us ensure they’re a great experience when we roll them out globally.</p>
<p class="">Fortunately, I work with a wonderful team here in Tokyo and around the world. It takes a lot of collaboration across different regions to deliver a successful system update. I’d like to thank our global team for all their hard work and our fans for always giving us great feedback and ideas to keep raising the bar.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid: How do you incorporate feedback from beta testers?</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: Beta tests are a crucial quality assurance step when we roll out new system software features. They give us the ability to test new features at scale and identify any important changes we need to make before the official global release. But, the process doesn’t stop there: we continually listen to players’ feedback after every system software release and gather data on how players engage with the new features so we can keep improving the experience for everyone. That’s our focus and passion.</p>
<p class=""><strong>Sid: With the latest PS5 system update out in the wild, what is your team working on now?</strong></p>
<p class="">Hiromi: We’re working on more new features for players that we hope to share more about soon. I’m happy to see so many players enjoying the features in this latest update, but our mission to make gaming on PS5 the best possible experience continues.</p>
<p class="">It’s a privilege for us to bring these updates to our fans and I truly feel it’s a collaborative effort. Thanks to everyone in our community for your continued support. There’s more to come, so please stay tuned!</p>
