Poll What PS5 Box Design Should Sony Adopt?
Make a case
Here’s food for thought: what design will the PlayStation 5’s boxes adopt? We already know that the device will include a Blu-ray player, so it’s unlikely you should expect a different shape or size of case to the PlayStation 4 – it’s not like it will have to accommodate Nintendo Switch-sized cartridges all of a sudden, for...
News Persona 5 Scramble Looks More and More Like a Full Sequel in 2 Hours of PS4 Gameplay
The Phantom Thieves are back
There's a certain lack of hype surrounding Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers.

On the rise
Tales of Arise, the next title in Bandai Namco's long running Tales series, was announced at E3 last year, but we still don't know much about it.
