New threads

You’ll finally get to find out who is the most powerful PlayStation heavyweight of them all on 23rd October, when PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale dragon-punches onto North American store shelves. Europeans will have a few extra days to prepare themselves for the mash-up of the millennium, with the title set to brawl its way overseas on 26th October.

Those that register their interest in the fighter at participating retailers will unlock a batch of exclusive costumes for the game’s entire roster. That features some complete character overhauls, including Kratos’ brother Deimos and Sweet Tooth’s infected Starhawk skin. We imagine the changes will be cosmetic only, so don't expect any real gameplay tweaks.

Meanwhile, if you’re eager to know who else will be fighting their way into PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sony has confirmed that it will announce two new characters overnight. We'll accept any final guesses on the back of a postcard. (Or in the comments section – that's equally valid too.)
