News Tekken 7 Delayed to Avoid Mistakes of Games Like Street Fighter V
Whiff punish
The good news is that Tekken 7 has a confirmed PlayStation 4 release date - the bad news is that the game is no longer launching in early 2017. Now pegged for release on the 2nd June, the delay is admittedly a little hard to stomach since we've been waiting so long to begin with, but it's all for a good cause, according to director...
News Dark Souls III: The Ringed City Prepares to Die on 28th March
Praise the sun
We weren't overly enamoured with Dark Souls III's first expansion pack, but hopefully The Ringed City can rectify things. The second major add-on is set to release on 28th March for the PlayStation 4, and is packed with familiar imagery of faraway castles and colossal beasts. Will you be psyching yourself up for this date with death?...

Rumour Tekken 7 Launches Early June on PS4
Summer slugfest
Jeez, the Tekken 7 rumour train has really left the station today. Hot on the heels of a supposed deluxe edition that features the return of vampire fighter Eliza, Amazon may have just leaked the game's release date, which is being officially announced at some point this week. The retailer currently has a page for the title's...
News Tekken 7 Gameplay Shows the Latest PS4 Build in Action
Excellent
We haven't seen all that much of Tekken 7 running on a PlayStation 4 - or anything outside of an arcade unit for that matter - but thanks to the power of YouTube, we're able to share the latest build of the game running on Sony's console. The footage, posted by TrueTekken, is taken from the title's recent Nordic Tour. Featuring Miguel and...
Rumour Vampire Fighter Eliza Returns in Tekken 7's Deluxe Edition
Along with an extra game mode
Okay, who remembers Eliza, the very-anime vampire from free-to-play title Tekken Revolution? Boasting projectile attacks and a crazy look, she was something of a divisive addition to the character roster, but despite her odd nature, it looks like she's returning in Tekken 7 - but only if you nab the so-called deluxe...
News Hold Up! Suggestive PlayStation VR Title Summer Lesson Is Getting Subtitles

We played Summer Lesson at launch; we didn't have a clue what was going on. But later this year, Bandai Namco will be releasing the PlayStation VR title with English subtitles for the Asian market. Don't believe us? The trailer embedded above proves as much. This changes everything. Would you be willing to get up...

News Great Looking Horror Game Little Nightmares Cooks Up a PS4 Release Date
And a creepy new trailer
Little Nightmares has had our attention from the moment that we first saw it, and after we were lucky enough to go hands on with the game last year, we've been looking forward to the day that we get a confirmed release date. Fortunately, that day has come. Bandai Namco's spooky horror title will launch on the 28th April on...
Video Taking Tales of Berseria's Hectic Combat System for a Spin
Monster mashing
The Tales games have always prided themselves on their combat systems. Typically fast and flashy, the series is sometimes just as much about action as it is role-playing, and that's very likely going to be the case with Tales of Berseria, which is launching on PlayStation 4 near the end of the month. With a playable demo now...

Handy
Tales of Berseria's playable pre-release demo is out right on the European PlayStation Store, weighing in at 444.8MB on the PlayStation 4.

The demo should give you a decent taste of the combat system, which is bound to be as frantic as...
News Oh, Right! There's a Project CARS 2 Still Coming to PS4
Here's an update on its progress
The original Project CARS was… Alright, we suppose. If memory serves, the Slightly Mad Studios developed simulation sold rather well on the PlayStation 4, and probably owed much of its success to the absence of Gran Turismo Sport on the console. It's, of course, worth mentioning that Polyphony Digital's new-gen...
News Ace Combat 7's Looking Top Gun on PlayStation VR
Turn and burn
Judging by the PSX 2016 trailer, Ace Combat 7 is going to be, well, ace – but it's nice to finally get a glimpse at the impending sequel's PlayStation VR mode. Unfortunately, this is separate to the main campaign, and will have its own standalone side-story and missions – but it's looking really good in this six or so minute...
News Tales of Berseria's Brooding English Story Trailer Is Its Best Yet
No mercy
Bandai Namco's pumped out quite a few Tales of Berseria videos by this point, but we reckon that its latest English story trailer is the best of the bunch. Featuring a mix of animated clips, in-game cutscenes, stints of gameplay, and some pretty ominous backing music, it sets the rather dark tone of the game pretty well. The PlayStation 4...
News Kuma and Panda Claw Their Way Into Tekken 7
Beary beary excellent
Destructive duo Kuma and Panda are back in Tekken 7, ready to crush the opposition with deadly range, crazy moves that no one sees coming, and, of course, brute strength.

Interview Flying High with Kazutoki Kono and Ace Combat 7 on PS4
The sky's the limit
One of the coolest uses that we've seen for PlayStation VR yet is the experience of Ace Combat 7. The series has always been about high-octane, sky high dogfights, and now it's taken to a whole new level by placing you inside the cockpit for the first time. We recently got to sit down and have a chat with Kazutoki Kono to talk a...
News Bandai Namco Opens Up About Controversial Tales of Berseria Localisation Change
Let's not get violent
Okay, so Bandai Namco released a new Tales of Berseria trailer yesterday that focuses on the title's English voice acting - but for once, the English dubbing isn't what some fans are concerned about. Instead, people are pointing out that a specific scene within the game - which features in the aforementioned trailer - has been...

PSX 2016 Ace Combat 7 Takes to The Skies With New Trailer
Soarin'
We haven't heard much about Bamco's sky-high flight series in some time. After being announced at last year's PSX, details were scarce until Ace Combat 7 appeared on the list of playable games at Sony's end-of-year bash. Unfortunately while this trailer confirmed that Ace Combat 7 still exists, we didn't much past that. Barely a minute of...

News You Can Expect Plenty of Single Player Content from Tekken 7 on PS4
Tekken back the crown
Fighting games are quite strange beasts these days. The genre will always have its hardcore and professional fans - there's no doubt about that - but very few fighters manage to appeal directly to a more casual audience. The bottom line is that times have changed; we remember the days when Tekken, for example, was a massive...

According to the patch notes, it also improves lag during online play, hopefully...
News Ni no Kuni II Finally Gets a Mention as Developer Reveals Kingdom Building
About time
It feels like an eternity has passed since we last heard anything about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. The incredibly pretty role-playing game was revealed during last year's PlayStation Experience, and we've heard absolutely nothing about the release since. Fortunately, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has at least confirmed that the Japanese...
Review Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel (PS4)
The weather outside is frightful
Enter The Painted World via the grovelling NPC at the Cleansing Chapel bonfire and you're plunged into a harsh and isolated environment, with vision-impairing snow and unfamiliar faces. Wolves hunt you down and axe-wielding warriors make the very earth beneath you quake. It seems like a tough environment where...
Review Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 (PS4)
Make a wish
Dragon Ball XenoVerse certainly wasn't perfect, but for a mostly fresh take on the Dragon Ball license it got a lot of things right, and its direct sequel, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, isn't looking to shake things up. Instead, this is a brawler that takes the typical Japanese sequel route, in that it's happy to keep the fundamentals in...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's Launch Trailer Is Too Good Not to Post
Blown away
We don't always cover launch trailers here on Push Square, but Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's celebratory video is a tad too epic to pass up. Featuring some rocking guitars and loads of action, it's probably the game's best trailer to date, and it should certainly get fans hyped for the imminent release. You can read our Dragon Ball...

News Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization's Main Story Will Take Around 40 Hours to Finish
70 to 100 if you're maxing out
We remember reviewing Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment and being left slightly surprised by just how long the game took to finish. Even at around 40 to 50 hours in, we felt as though there was still so much to see and do - and we suppose that's exactly what a lot of people want from their role-playing adventures...

Hands On Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Seeks to Be a Safe But Solid Sequel
History repeats
Dragon Ball XenoVerse is a good game in itself, but it's one of those titles that's begging for a sequel. For a first attempt, XenoVerse gets a heck of a lot right, but as is the case with many licensed Japanese titles, it's really just laying the foundations for something bigger and better. Enter Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 - a sequel...

Spanish brawler Miguel is back for another round in Tekken 7, a lovely new character trailer confirms.

Hands On Little Nightmares Is a Spooky PS4 Surprise
Sweet dreams
You wouldn't expect a puzzle platformer to be one of the pleasanter surprises at EGX 2016.
