News Tekken 7 Celebrates 5 Million Copies Sold With Updated Character Artwork
Season 3 fighters join the party
Tekken 7 just keeps selling. Surpassing everyone's expectations, including Bandai Namco's, the fighter has maintained a very healthy competitive scene since it launched on consoles back in 2017, and its good reputation has kept those sales figures ticking along nicely. And we all know what happens whenever we get...
Mini Review Knightin'+ - Zelda-Lite Is Too Simplistic with Just Dungeons
Trifine
Are we witnessing the origins of an all-new genre? Knightin’+ started life on itch.io and bills itself as a Zelda-lite. The gameplay is easy to describe: it’s Zelda in dungeon form only. This means that there’s no hub-world to explore, just a maze of rooms with keys to find, puzzles to solve, and bosses to beat. You’ll also happen...
News Sony Cancels GDC 2020 Appearance Amid Coronavirus Concerns
That makes two
After scrapping its plans to attend PAX East in Boston later this month, Sony has now confirmed that it won't be attending GDC -- once again citing the coronavirus as the reason why. Facebook joins the company in skipping the show while Oculus has announced that its announcements will take place online. In a statement given to Gam
Your inventory is full
Katana Kami: A Way of the Samurai Story is an isometric dungeon crawling action RPG that, as its title suggests, branches off from the janky but fun Way of the Samurai series. Playing as a wandering swordsman who helps a blacksmith settle his debt, you're tasked with exploring a ghostly realm that appears in the night, looting...
News The PS4 Was Officially Announced 7 Years Ago Today
At PlayStation Meeting 2013
Seven years ago today, on the 20th February 2013, Sony officially announced the PlayStation 4. It did so at the PlayStation Meeting -- an event that it had been hyping up for around a week beforehand. At the time we all knew what was coming -- Sony itself had confirmed that next-gen hardware would be detailed -- but we...
News MMORPG Black Desert Is Getting Cross-Play Support Between PS4 and Xbox One
One big console community
MMORPG Black Desert, which launched last year on PlayStation 4, will be getting cross-play functionality on the 4th March 2020. But unlike a lot of other titles that boast cross-play on Sony's system, this won't link PS4 users with PC players. Instead, it's hooking up PS4 with Xbox One, allowing users on both current-gen...
Mini Review EarthNight - Gorgeous Auto-Runner Is Spiky as a Dragon's Back
Tread carefully
EarthNight has been a long time coming, and you can tell just by playing that it's been polished to within an inch of its life. It's a pretty simple game at its heart; you auto-run across the backs of invading dragons, hoovering up loot and stomping on baddies, until you inevitably die and start over again. However, it's been refined...
News Strategic Stealth Game Desperados III Gunning for Summer Release on PS4
Check out the new trailer
Desperados III was announced at Gamescom in 2018, but we've not really heard a peep about it since.

It's looking pretty good so far, and publisher THQ Nordic has just released a new tr
News PlayStation Cancels Huge PAX East Showing Due to Coronavirus Concerns
Safety first
Just days after announcing a star-studded PAX East lineup featuring playable PlayStation 4 titles like The Last of Us: Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and DOOM Eternal, Sony has cancelled its plans to attend the convention, which is coming up later this month. In an update on the PlayStation Blog, the company writes: "Today, Sony...
News Final Fantasy VII Remake's DLC Summons Detailed in New Gameplay
Chocobo Chick, Carbuncle, and Cactuar
Final Fantasy VII Remake will have three DLC summons at launch, and new gameplay clips show each of them off (thanks Gematsu for compiling them into one video). While nowhere near as grandiose as the game's main summons, like Ifrit and Shiva, who fight alongside you for a time, these smaller summons still...

Mini Review Yakuza 5 Remastered - Biggest Game in the Series Is Still Brilliant
Five stars
It took three whole years for the original Yakuza 5 to come West on PlayStation 3, and by that point in 2015, the PlayStation 4 was gaming's dominant console. As such, Yakuza 5 often gets forgotten -- but it shouldn't be. Yakuza 5 Remastered is a potent reminder that this gargantuan game deserved so much better. The story's split between...
News Three Fields Entertainment Announces Dangerous Driving 2, Speeds onto PS4 in 2020
One more go
Dangerous Driving was an attempt to revitalise the high-intensity thrills of Burnout, and while it came kind of close in some respects, it didn't quite measure up to Criterion's beloved racing series. Developer Three Fields Entertainment, which is led by ex-Criterion members, has been building towards this goal for some time, but it's...
News Persona 5 Royal Explains What's New in Entertaining Crash Course Trailer
Phantom Thieves strike back
If you've been tuned in to Push Square over the past week, you already know what sets Persona 5 Royal apart from the 2017 original.

News No Man's Sky Gets Living Ships in Latest Major Update on PS4
This is living
A lot of the space ship designs in No Man's Sky are very cool, but have you ever wished you could ride around inside a flying alien instead? Just us? Okay. Well, that's what you get anyway in the Living Ships update, available now on PlayStation 4. As the name suggests, the big new feature this time around is the inclusion of organic...
Mini Review Draugen - This Walking Simulator Takes a Fatal Tumble
Drab
Draugen feels like the opposite of Firewatch. Both games capture the imagination with a fascinating premise told against the backdrop of a stunning location, but instead of remaining rooted in reality, the Red Thread developed title gives way to lunacy at the first time of asking. It makes for an unsatisfying walking simulator which can only...
News Deliver Us the Moon Counts Down to Launch on 24th April for PS4
Save the human race
Publisher Wired Productions has announced that it plans on bringing KeokeN Interactive's Deliver Us the Moon to PlayStation 4 following a PC release last year.

PSVR 2 controllers?
It's highly likely Sony will be looking into a new iteration of its PlayStation VR tech, especially with PS5 on the horizon.

News THQ Nordic Parent Company Acquires World War Z Dev Saber Interactive
Starting at $150 million
If you thought that the ever-growing THQ Nordic was done snapping up developers after it decided to set up its own team in the form of Nine Rock Games, then you might want to reconsider. Embracer Group, the parent company of the publisher, has acquired World War Z developer Saber Interactive for an initial $150 million. The...
Hands On Shenmue III's Story Quest DLC Is an Add-On Done Wrong
Chawan shite
It may have a bad reputation, but DLC can be incredible. Consider, for one moment, The Old Hunters expansion for Bloodborne: it’s a brilliant extension of an already timeless title, which adds exciting new environments, enemies, and armaments to the fray. Of course, add-on packs have a bad reputation because they’re so often...

News Don't Worry, BioMutant Is Still in Development
Studio shares update
Just take a look at how sporadically we've been able to cover BioMutant here on Push Square and you'll quickly come to understand why an update such as this was in dire need. BioMutant left us impressed all the way back at Gamescom 2017, but since then, it has pretty much been radio silence. Developer X101 has provided a welcome...

News The Witcher 3 Cross-Save Feature Skips PS4
Remain routed
The Nintendo Switch version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt got a rather nifty new feature today with its latest update, allowing players to bring over a save from the PC and continue their adventures on the go with the handheld system. That functionality won't be patched into the PlayStation 4 version, however. Speaking to USgamer, a CD...
Mini Review Mosaic - An Intriguing Experience That Can't Stick the Landing
Big brother is watching
Much like with its previous title, Among the Sleep, developer Krillbite seems to have bitten off more than it can chew. Mosaic is an intriguing title with exciting ideas. Unfortunately, the ideas simply outpace the resources that the developer has available to realise them. But it’s not for lack of trying. Mosaic’s...

Publisher Focus Home Interactive has just announced its follow-up, simply named SnowRunner, is coming very soon indeed. As you might've guessed from the name, SnowRunner takes the extreme...

News Dissidia Final Fantasy NT's Final Update Set for March, No Sequel Planned
NT like this
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT will receive its final major update on the 5th March, Square Enix has announced. Since releasing on PlayStation 4 back near the beginning of 2018, the game's enjoyed a lot of support, primarily in the form of additional DLC characters. However, it's fair to say that the title never really took off. Despite...

First time in series history
Potentially great news for many of our European readers: Persona 5 Royal will feature French, German, Italian, and Spanish subtitles. It'll be the first ever Persona game to be localised in multiple European languages, which is surely a good sign for the future. As we all know, Atlus and its partners are a bit behind...

2 discs, remember
Remember back at E3 2019 when Square Enix said that Final Fantasy VII Remake would ship on two Blu-ray discs? Well, it wasn't kidding.

Hands On Persona 5 Royal Is So Much More of 2017's Game of the Year
Shujin's finest
Atlus isn't looking to reinvent what it means to be a JRPG with Persona 5 Royal.

So, what do franchise fanatics have to look forward to when...
Review Bayonetta - The Umbra Witch Gets the PS4 Release She Deserves
Let's dance boys
Bayonetta was a disaster on PlayStation 3. Plagued by load times and frequent frame rate drops, it was by far the worst version of the lot when it took the world by storm in 2010. Since then, however, the franchise has gone from strength to strength away from Sony hardware as it blossoms on Nintendo Switch. The series' second...
Review Vanquish - One of PlatinumGames' Best Titles Knee Slides to PS4
Miss me, sweetheart?
Ever since its release 10 years ago, there hasn’t been anything quite like Vanquish. The fast-paced, stylish third-person shooter quickly became one of PlatinumGames' most memorable joints thanks to hectic action, impressive boss fights, and a whole lot of knee sliding chaos. It was an experience which went down well with the...

News PS4 and Xbox One Sales Worse in January 2020 Compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 in January 2013
Slowing down
It was a disappointing January 2020 for all consoles in the United States, but fascinatingly the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One performed worse than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January 2013. This is pertinent because both instances represent the final January of their respective hardware cycles. Why, then, do current-gen consoles...
News January 2020 NPD: Dragon Ball the Only Winner in Dry Month
Just Saiyan
Overall video game spend dropped by 26 per cent year-over-year in a dismal start to 2020 in the United States.

Mini Review Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate - Hack and Slasher Finally Feels Like the Complete Package

Game of the Year edition?

On the face of things, Darksiders Genesis is yet another example of the THQ Nordic-fronted franchise mixing things up to ensure one more fresh experience for its fans.
