News What's Next for Prince of Persia? Ubisoft Doesn't Want You to Know Yet
A princely error
French publisher Ubisoft couldn’t keep a secret if its entire corporate future depended on it, so it’s not exactly surprising to see the organisation squirming over an errant tweet from one of its employees. Ubisoft Reflections engineer Drew James posted a message teasing a new Prince of Persia title overnight, but his entire...

News Here's Your First Look at the Next Call of Duty for PS4
Oscar mike
Call of Duty: Ghosts may have taken a mauling from the press, but it still managed to cement Activision’s first-person franchise as one of the most popular entertainment properties on the planet, rarely falling from the top of the charts in Europe or North America. Alas, the publisher knows that it needs to put plenty of work in to...

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA World Cup Falls to Respawn's FPS
Runners up
Enforcing stereotypes about the British and the beautiful game, there are two soccer simulations in the top five of this week’s UK sales charts. 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil sprinted out of the blocks into second, though it couldn’t topple long-running frontrunner Titanfall.

Push Rewind Final Fantasy XIV, Trials Fusion, and Format Wars
Day late friend
We’re a little later than usual with this week’s Push Rewind recap following the Easter holiday, but while we may be several pounds heavier at the present, that’s not stopping us from looking back on all of the biggest news and reviews on Planet PlayStation lately. Arguably the biggest story over the past seven days pertained...
Rumour PS4 Exclusive Resogun May Be Getting Local Co-Op DLC
Standby for arguments
Resogun is a remarkably intense solo experience. Dodging and weaving your way through millions of voxels is a complete thrill by any standard. But as we noted in our review, the game quite notably lacks a local co-op mode. And while the online multiplayer may be fun, it's not quite the same as having a friend sitting mere...
