At last, I’m free to speak about one of the most exciting things that we’ve been squirreling away on at TT Games for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers, outside of everything that already makes the game such a fun and authentic Marvel title (Yes, Squirrel Girl reference intended… sorry!).

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is getting some free DLC content exclusively for all PS4 and PS3 players. What’s even more awesome is that this content is based on the brilliant Marvel’s Ant-Man movie and also one of my most anticipated films of 2016, Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War. And yes, believe it or not I’ve managed to keep a lid on this. I’m not quite sure how… but I have.

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers already features content from six epic Marvel films (and a plethora of content from the rest of the Marvel...

Hi guys! I’m Olivier from Seaven Studio. You may remember our first game Ethan: Meteor Hunter that was released on PS3 and PS Vita. Now we’re happy to release our second title, Inside My Radio, on PS4 next week January 19th — with a 20% PlayStation Plus launch discount!

Inside My Radio is a challenging, rhythm-driven adventure where your actions must follow the beat. If you do an action off-beat: music dies and nothing happens. You have to synchronize with the beat! Welcome to a world where music is your best ally: never, under any circumstance, should you play on mute.

You’re an electro green LED, Taek, mysteriously trapped inside a dying boombox. Save your disco and dub buddies to bring back the music to life! Journey through different worlds, each of them having their own musical style and variations. Picture the game as a record where every level is a different track....

When Gone Home debuted on Windows PC in 2013, it turned heads and raised eyebrows with its tightly focused, minimalist storytelling and unconventional gameplay. And now, it has arrived on Xbox One. Here’s why this is one gaming experience you definitely don’t want to miss out on. The Storytelling You’re back at home, in your rambling Portland house. Your parents and little sister are nowhere to be found. Go. That’s pretty much the setup for Gone Home. Any story elements beyond that, you need to pick up as you go. You’ll have some ideas, of course; the house is big,...

Hello PlayStation.Blog readers! I’m John, creative director at Roll7 and I’m writing on this here blog because Not A Hero — our 2D, cover-based, side-scrolling shooter about a purple rabbit from the future — is coming to PS4, like real soon.



So, what’s the story? Well, way back in 2012 when the internet was still in black and white and you had to get games on 3.5 inch floppy disks, Roll7 made a couple of prototypes in a simple game making tool called Clickteam Fusion. Through some kind of miracle/luck/timing, both of the games we made ended up getting signed.

One of those prototypes was OlliOlli, which we signed with PlayStation and which you probably played and destroyed your DualShock 4 in the process of learning nollie 360 hardflips. The other prototype was Ur Not A Hero, which we signed with Devolver Digital around the same time.

With OlliOlli, there was no way that development...

We’re super excited to announce that our classic PS2 platformer Psychonauts is heading to PS4 this spring!



Psychonauts follows the story of a young psychic named Razputin in his quest to join an elite group of international psychic secret agents, the Psychonauts! He runs away from the circus and breaks into their secret training facility, Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp.

As he begins his training by psychically delving inside the consciousnesses of his tutors and those around him, he realizes all is not as it seems, and soon embarks upon a psychic odyssey through a variety of levels set inside the minds of misfits, monsters, and madmen!

Here are your picks for the 2015 PlayStation.Blog Game of the Year Awards.

Best PS4 Game

The Witcher 3 got a lot of love this year, and it’s easy to see why. From its unbelievably massive scale to its engaging and unforgettable characters, CD Projekt Red’s opus in open world storytelling beat industry goliaths Bloodborne, Fallout 4 and even Metal Gear Solid V for the title of “Best PS4 Game.”
