E3 2019 Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 Packaging Appears to Leak
Includes a bunch of bonus goodies
Turns out this author does get things wrong from time to time. Regardless of what CD Projekt RED has been saying, we didn’t actually expect Cyberpunk 2077 to release on the PlayStation 4 – at least not before the PlayStation 5 had established itself anyway. But between this leaked product packaging and a...
Site News Our PlayStation E3 2019 Coverage Starts Now
Are you red E?
Look, let’s address the big white elephant in the non-existent room: whatever happens over the next week or so, this is not going to be a vintage E3 for PlayStation. You can call us cynical if you like, but it’s just not going to be – without Sony in attendance, there’s going to be a gaping hole in our coverage that no...
News Shenmue III Showcases Whack-a-Mole, Forklifts in Demo Pod Trailer
Let's get sweaty
This is so surreal, folks. We’ve waited almost two decades for the successor to Shenmue II, and it’s finally right around the corner. Yes, the long-anticipated Shenmue III may have incurred a small delay this week, but all-new footage taken from a PlayStation 4 demo pod in a Walmart store looks every inch the successor we’ve...
News Last Minute Sony Decision Brings Cross-Save to Destiny 2
Take your Guardian anywhere
You may have spotted the small print in Google Stadia’s stream earlier today, suggesting that Destiny 2 cross-save was pending a Sony decision. Well, according to Kotaku, the platform holder decided to enable the functionality on the PlayStation 4 – yesterday. That’s right, the Japanese giant left it until the very...
Reaction Sony Won't Be Scared of Google Stadia in the Slightest
A wet fart
The punchline of today’s Stadia Connect stream is that Google tried to sell us on its vision of a game streaming future with a pre-recorded YouTube broadcast that had more macroblocking than a Minecraft map. The broadcast – fronted by former PlayStation executive Phil Harrison in a shirt and sneakers – failed to cash in on
News DOOM Eternal Teaser Builds Hype Ahead of Bethesda's E3 2019
Bigger than you can imagine
DOOM Eternal is set to be one of the hottest games at E3 2019, and Bethesda's been building hype for its imminent press conference with a brief look at the forthcoming first-person shooter.

News Zombie Army 4: Dead War Ready to Rot E3 2019
Shuffles out of Amazon Spain
Rebellion’s previously teased “major unannounced title” has leaked ahead of the PC Gaming Show press conference where it was poised to make its debut.

Rumour Almost 7 Years After Launch, Borderlands 2 May Be Getting More DLC
And it'll be free
Borderlands 2 could be getting free DLC, assuming a Steam directory leak is legit. The page references an upcoming add-on pack named Commander Lilith & The Fight for Sanctuary, which looks set to release on 9th June for free. That just so happens to coincide with the date of Microsoft’s press conference, so expect an...
News Sony: We're At the Beginning of the PS5 Unveil Process
There's much more to come
Sony may be pointing out the obvious, but it’s admitted that it’s at the very beginning of the PlayStation 5 unveiling process.

News We Don't Know if PS5 Will Be Our Last Console, Admits PlayStation Boss
"People told us PS4 was going to be a terrible failure"
There’s a common view that time is running out for the humble console. While Sony’s already announced its next-gen system, many feel that we’re moving towards a future of streaming and services, and that means the PlayStation 5 could be the last of its kind. Of course, PlayStation boss...
News Sony Doesn't Think It Talked About PS Now Enough
"We've actually achieved a lot"
The streaming wars have officially arrived: except Sony’s been the sole competitor for eons now. While tech giants like Google and Microsoft make lots of noise about their impending cloud gaming services, it’s always struck us as odd how PlayStation Now has been treated like some kind o
News Blood & Truth's Grime Soundtrack Gets a Vinyl Release
Scratch and shoot
Vinyl is back in vogue, and any game with a half-decent soundtrack tends to get a record release these days. Case in point: cockney crime caper Blood & Truth is bringing its orchestral-cum-grime tunes to a turntable near you, courtesy of Black Screen Records. Available to pre-order now ahead of an August shipping date, the...
News Watch Dogs Legion Sounds Like a Wildly Ambitious Sequel
You can play as, well, anyone
We really liked Watch Dogs 2, and honestly would have been satisfied with a sequel akin to that set in modern London. Leaked information about Watch Dogs Legion – purportedly the official name for the third game in the hack happy series – suggests we should expect something slightly different, however, as you’ll...
News Death Stranding Pre-Orders for Standard, Collector's Edition Live
You'd be Mads not to buy it
Death Stranding may not have official box art, but it does have a release date. It’s surreal to think that Kojima Productions’ debut game is little more than five months away, but that’s the reality right now. Short of a last-minute disaster, we’ll all be deciphering the PlayStation 4 exclusive from 8th November...
Rumour Is Watch Dogs Legion the Anticipated Third Instalment?

Shang bang
Mortal Kombat 11’s post-release plans will get underway from 18th June, with Kombat Pack owners nabbing early access to Shang Tsung.

Calm before the storm
It's the final weekend before E3 2019, so if you've got any outstanding games you want to clear from your backlog, now would be the time to get busy.

News New Darksiders Game to Go in a Different Direction
Reveal at E3 2019, apparently
You’ll know E3 2019 is right around the corner when we start using the ‘Leaks’ and ‘Rumours’ article tags with regularity. Case in point: a new Darksiders game has just been "announced". At least we think so, anyway. The title’s going to be part of a panel at Geoff Keighley’s E3 Coliseum, and it will take...
News Good News? ANTHEM's Cataclysm Event Is Still Coming
BioWare not done yet
We were going to start this article with a hearty helping of snark, but to be honest we just feel sorry for ANTHEM these days. The game may have sold a substantial number of copies out of the gate, but frankly it’s been a disaster, and there’s no use in us rubbing further salt in the wound. If you did happen to buy it –...
News Death Stranding's Release Date Trailer Nears 5 Million Views
Confusion cubed
Who needs E3 2019, huh? Sony’s been having its own party, whipping fans into a frenzy with Death Stranding’s release date trailer this week.

News DOOM Eternal Mural Signals the Start of E3 2019 Season
