Last month at the Xbox Games Showcase, we were thrilled to announce Peril on Gorgon, the first of two narrative expansions coming to The Outer Worlds. We’re less than two weeks away from launch on September 9, and today we’re excited to show you some new gameplay from the Gorgon Asteroid! Check out nearly 12 minutes of gameplay footage narrated by Game Director Carrie Patel and get a look at some of the exciting new content that you’ll find in Peril on Gorgon.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon takes place on the Gorgon asteroid, which was the site of one of the most ambitious scientific undertakings in Halcyon: the development and synthesis of Adrena-Time, a drug intended to improve the productivity of workers across the Halcyon colony. After an expensive development cycle and several failed tests, the Spacer’s Choice corporation shuttered the project, and the abandoned facilities became home to marauders and a motley band of SubLight contractors.

A flotilla of Italian Warships is headed to World of Warships: Legends in the new Veni, Vidi, Vici update. The new campaign for the update features a battleship to bolster the Italian nation as well, the elegant Roma. French Destroyers exit early access, and now there’s a new system for you to manage and upgrade your camouflage! Brace yourselves for an update packed with Italian ships and more.

First and foremost is the new line of Italian Cruisers in early access: Alberto da Giussano, Raimondo Montecuccoli, Trento, and Zara. They represent the core fighting cruisers of the Regia Marina during the World War II, designed for combat in clear seas of the Mediterranean. Per Italian doctrine, these cruisers are maneuverable, speedy, and have a Smoke Generator Consumable to create concealment wherever they need it. Equipped with reliable armament and torpedoes, the Italian Cruisers are...

Hello, fellow fighters. We at NetherRealm are super excited to continue to fulfill everyone’s 80’s movie robot dreams with the addition of RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, our exciting, new expansion. We just dropped a new gameplay trailer showing off RoboCop, along with Fujin and Sheeva, who are all coming to Mortal Kombat 11 on May 26.


I clearly remember watching the “RoboCop” film when I was a kid, although I was probably far too young when I saw it. In fact, I was so in love with the movie that I asked for the RoboCop game on my Amiga 500 but only got to play it twice before the disk became corrupted. So, it’s great to finally get to play as RoboCop in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath.

ED-209 provides backup.

I am far from being the only RoboCop fan in our studio. A few of the character artists on my team have ED-209 and RoboCop figurines on their desks. We even scanned one of these...

In Skully, players will visit a lush island paradise virtually untouched by mankind. Sweeping vistas, active volcanoes, and expansive mountain ranges are in great abundance, though the sanctity of this peaceful place is at risk of being destroyed due to an ongoing familial conflict between the four elemental beings that oversee the island.


Unable to resolve the quarrel alone, a deity known as Terry reanimates a skull that washed up upon the shore to mediate the dispute. Given a second chance at “life” after being imbued with the power of magical clay, the appropriately named “Skully” will traverse the diverse landscapes while avoiding a myriad of dangers through the aid of three elemental forms. Conjured by the same power that gives this skull life, they embark on their quest to restore tranquility to their home under the constant supervision of Terry....

We hope you’re taking care of yourselves, staying safe, and making solid progress on your back catalog of games.

The Last of Us Part II is by far the largest and most ambitious game we’ve ever made and there will be so much for you to dig into when it arrives on June 19th. Leading up to launch, we’re releasing a brand new series of videos breaking down key aspects of the game. Each video will feature interviews with members of our team as we discuss the design, technology, and ideas that have shaped the development of our game over the last six years.

We’re kicking things off by taking a closer look at the story in The Last of Us Part II, including some of the core themes we’re exploring, a glimpse into Ellie and Joel’s life in Jackson, and how we’re broadening the world and cast of characters. Don’t worry, we’re keeping all episodes spoiler-free and there will be so much more for you to dig into on June 19th! Check it out:

With Ion Fury coming out on PS4 tomorrow, we wanted to give everyone a peek behind the scenes by diving into one of the game’s most important features, its unique level design philosophy!

Every Build Engine game has a Level Design philosophy and a set of rules. One of the most important ones is this: “Always start with a BANG!”

A key aspect of every Build Engine game was their memorable introduction to the first level.

Duke Nukem 3D: Ejected from a flaming ship on the rooftop of a building.

Blood: Caleb resurrecting from the dead coming out of a grave hungry for revenge.

Shadow Warrior: Start in a dojo and a zombie ninja jumps inside from the window, allowing you to slice him in half with your katana.

Ion Fury is no exception to this rule, so we had to start the game in a memorable way, which set the tone and showed the players that this was no walk in the park!

Let’s analyze Ion Fury’s Preview Campaign introduction: Heskel cultists crash a...

Update: This article has been updated to credit answers to Kiyohiko Sakata, director of Resident Evil 3. Additional context has also been added to topics involving the Nemesis project and Plagas parasite.

One of the defining aspects of Resident Evil 3 is, without a doubt, the hulking stalker that trails Jill throughout the game. Nemesis is not only one of the most memorable enemies from Resident Evil history, but perhaps one of the most recognizable monsters in all of video game history. I’m pleased to announce that, starting today, you’ll be able to play as Nemesis in Resident Evil Resistance via today’s update that introduces Nicholai Ginovaef as a Mastermind! Alongside Nicholai’s powerful skills, he’ll also be able to summon Nemesis, complete with its own suite of deadly tools to unleash upon hapless Survivors – the first time Nemesis has been playable in a Resident Evil game.

To commemorate this occasion, PlayStation Blog’s Tim Turi asked director of RE3,...
