News Stealth Sequel Aragami 2 Delayed to Q3 2021
For both PS5 and PS4
We've seen absolutely nothing of Aragami 2 since it’s announcement in August of last year, so it hardly comes as a surprise that developer Lince Works needs more time to get the game into shape.

News Skater XL Kickflips Onto PS4 a Little Later Than Expected
Delayed to late July
Electronic Arts appears to be almost hellbent on not developing Skate 4, so indie developers are producing their own take on the hotly-requested title in the meantime.
