Since the launch of PlayStation Heroes in March, the PlayStation community has helped support three incredible charities — the USO, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and The V Foundation. To close out the year, we’re offering the opportunity to win a 20th Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4 by purchasing the PlayStation Vintage Wireframe Theme from PlayStation Store and registering online.
Purchase the exclusive theme for $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, $75, or $100 via PlayStation Store to enter and support The V Foundation. Each dollar you spend on the theme will act as one entry for your chance to win a 20th Anniversary Edition PS4. The limited edition PS4 and included accessories are the same “Original Gray” color as the original PlayStation and celebrates the 20th anniversary of the release of the original PlayStation on December 2nd, 1994....
Hello, PlayStation fans! This is Michał “bonzaj” Staniszewski from Plastic, a small team with demoscene roots. In the past we brought you Linger In Shadows and Datura on PS3. We haven’t got rid of our experimenting habits, and this time we are going to deliver something to you that is quite unique in visual style, narrative storytelling, and also mechanics.
Bound is a 3D platformer designed for people with the desire to concentrate on the narrative side of games and experience a mature story. On the other side of the spectrum, Bound is also being prepared for hardcore gamers looking for the challenge of one big puzzle that can be only solved by a community of players working together.
The result: we are going to deliver a “notgame” to you, which is also a game. It’s up to you to decide how you would like to play....
Hi, everybody! (Hi, Dr. Nick!) I’m Josh, community manager for Dungeon Defenders II, and in case you missed it, an early version of our action-packed co-op tower defense game launched on September 29th. Since then, the response has been incredible! Player feedback has been invaluable these past few months. Lots of great changes are coming based on what they’ve told us, and we can’t wait for you to get in there and help us, too!
Speaking of great changes, we’ve been hard at work on our first content update, Loot & Survive, which launched this past Tuesday. We’re super excited to bring our infinite tower defense mode, Onslaught, to PS4, allowing you to go beyond the wave limits of a map to see who can survive the longest.
We’ve spent so many hours trying to beat more rounds than our community on the PC, and we hope you’ll have as much fun playing it as we do. Many of you mentioned we needed more of a challenge in the game, so we added in new difficulty modes that should provide a...
Hey, PlayStation Nation! Nayan from Playism here again with an awesome upcoming release.
In the world of Croixleur Sigma, warriors from each house compete against each other in a bid to take control of the country’s military and political power. They do this by battling through a tower, each level filled with powerful monsters.
Players choose a female warrior and battle through the tower in arena-based character action levels. Players also arm themselves with up to 4 unique swords at a time which can be chained together into powerful and flashy combos.
Croixleur Sigma first released on PC, but for the PS4 version, developer Souvenir Circle has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure PS4 is the best platform to play the game.
At first glance, it’s easy to see the huge graphical upgrade to the game. Souvenir Circle have raised the resolution and added an awesome cartoon shader that...
Hi, PlayStation.Blog! How are you today? Graham from Drinkbox Studios, here. You might remember us from such games as Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!, or Guacamelee!. We’re the studio that loves using punctuation in our game titles.
It’s been awhile since we’ve posted anything about our upcoming PS Vita game, Severed. We’ve had our heads down working hard finishing up development, and we’ve just put together a brand new trailer that we’re excited to share with you all. Check it out!
In Severed you play as a one-armed warrior named Sasha, who wakes up in a surreal new world after a catastrophic event. After obtaining a living sword from a mysterious cloaked creature, Sasha sets off on an epic journey in search of her missing family.
Combat is done primarily using the touchscreen, but Severed is definitely not a casual game. In...
Not too long ago, during Gamescom, we announced that we’re currently working on a total remake of our puzzle platformer Metrico (PS Vita) for PlayStation 4 (Metrico+). We’ve had tons of questions of what exactly Metrico+ is, so we’re here on PlayStation.Blog to give you an in-depth look.
Metrico+ features a lot of new content, as well as refined and improved graphics. We also worked on the storyline and added tons of other new features. It’s basically a new game! And we’re planning to release it in the first quarter of 2016.
In this post I’d like to elaborate on some of the changes and fixes we made. We loved that Metrico was exclusive to PS Vita. That’s why for the bigger part we want players to feel like the PS Vita version is still a unique experience, and the PS4 version will be a new experience, taking the best parts of the Vita...

We may rarely think about them, but A.I. systems can fundamentally alter the gameplay experience. In order to build Call of Duty: Black Ops 3‘s four-player cooperative campaign, the team at Treyarch had to completely overhaul its A.I. technology and rethink how it influences combat, storytelling, and level design, all the while maintaining the cinematic immersion that the series is known for.
This Saturday, join me and members of Treyarch’s engineering, design, animation, and story teams as we discuss the making of Black Ops 3, the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, and how it can shape the future of games during the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3: Unlocking the Potential of A.I. panel.

Hello! Pawel from 11 bit studios here with the latest trailer for This War of Mine: The Little Ones where you can see footage from PS4 for the very first time.
I also want to give you a bit of insight into the kind of experience you will have in the game, from the perspective of a “Little one.” To do that, I want you to turn on your imagination and put yourself in their shoes.
Imagine you are a 10 year old child. Right now you’re trapped with your father in a city under siege. There is nowhere to run. Then you and your father are joined by another two civilians, it may be easier and safer to stay together.
“The building you’re in seems like a good cover,” they say.
It’s already winter, and you start to feel unwell. Bruno — one of the guys who joined your little group and who initially seemed a bit selfish — gives you some...
