News Prepare for 2027's The Wolf Among Us 2 with a PS5 Remaster of the Original

Inspired by the comic book series Fables, of course, here’s the blurb: “Set after the events of the original game, The Wolf Among Us 2 returns players to the...
The future is now
Alright Rebel Wolves, let's just calm down. I know The Blood of Dawnwalker's got a lot of hype behind it right now, but teasing the future of the franchise before the first game's even out is a bit mad. Don't get me wrong, Dawnwalker looks great based on everything that's been shown — and its new trailer is no different — but...

News Attack on Titan 3 Looks Like the Ultimate Adaptation, Covers the Full Story on PS5
Keep moving forward
In my humble opinion, 2018's Attack on Titan 2 is one of the best anime-based adaptations of the last decade — and so I'm going nuts over the announcement of Attack on Titan 3. Once again published by Koei Tecmo and developed by Omega Force, this is set to be a direct continuation of the video game series, with a focus on the...
News Simultaneously 2D and 3D, You've Never Played a PS5 Game Like Screenbound Before

Obviously, this one is quite a long way away – in fact, the first beta will not take place until...

News Unlike Other Sony Exclusives, Wolverine PS5 Will Launch with New Game Plus Day One
"Our goal was to make the second time as fun as the first"
In games like Ghost of Yotei and even Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Sony’s had success adding New Game Plus several weeks after release. I think the idea here is to give players an incentive to hold onto their game; the feature tends to be added alongside new content and Trophies, designed to...
