Review Dark Souls III: The Ringed City (PS4)
At the world's end
The Ringed City is the end of many things. While it marks the final instalment of Dark Souls III's short run of downloadable content, it also marks the potential end for Dark Souls as we know and love it.

Hungry for more
Of the many games that were playable on the show-floor at PAX East 2017, Tarsier Studios' Little Nightmares was one of the titles we were most excited to get our hands on.

Dubbed 'Warriors of the Sky', the expansion will be available as an update, and will feature "extra characters,...
News Eddy Gordo Confirmed For Tekken 7 in Thumping New Trailer
And he's looking sharp
Capoeira king Eddy Gordo has at last been confirmed for Tekken 7, following a leak last month.

Two new stages are also on show, but man, it's those sick beats that...
News Eddy Gordo Is Flipping His Way Into Tekken 7, According to Leak
What do you want?
Tekken 7's got a new challenger, it would seem. According to a pictures obtained by Avoiding The Puddle, veteran fighter Eddy Gordo has just been revealed at an event in Brazil - which makes sense, seeing as that's where the capoeira master hails from. Eddy first entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament back in Tekken 3, and he's...
News Ni no Kuni II's First Gameplay Trailer Shows Combat and Exploration
Picture perfect
Some of you may have seen bits of this footage used in the recent previews of other sites, but we reckon that it's still well worth a watch; the game looks bloody gorgeous.

Get that guy away from us
Little Nightmares is shaping up to be a really promising horror project, as evidenced by its latest gameplay video.

Escape from the city
Dark Souls III's second and final expansion is out late next month on the 28th March.

Here's hoping that the DLC has more to offer than the disappointingly shallow Ashes of...
News Ni no Kuni II Is 45% Complete, Says Dev
Pray for 2017
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom has shown gigantic potential thus far, and recent previews allude that it's certainly a role-playing release to keep an eye on, but just how far into development is Level-5's latest project? Although we've admittedly seen very little of the game, the footage that's dripped out onto the 'net has looked...
Review Naruto Storm 4: Road to Boruto (PS4)
Daddy issues
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is comfortably one of the best anime based titles on the PlayStation 4, and now almost exactly a year after its original release, it's getting a pretty meaty expansion in the form of Naruto Storm 4: Road to Boruto. As the title suggests, this add-on features the exploits of Boruto, Naruto's...

News Ni no Kuni II Targeting 60fps on Standard PS4
Dev CEO seems certain it'll happen
Perhaps one of the more interesting details to emerge from today's wave of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom previews, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has said that the final release will run at 60 frames per second on the PlayStation 4. And that's not the Pro, either - he's talking about Sony's standard system. Okay, so...

It's looking fantastic-al
Bloody hell, we've just been hit with a tidal wave of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom information, so forgive us if we're still trying to gather our thoughts in this article.

News Ace Combat 7 Scores Skies Unknown Subtitle, Extended Trailer
Delicious dogfights
Ace Combat 7 looks every inch the cheesy dogfighting successor that you've been dreaming of, and now it's bagged an equally camp Skies Unknown subtitle. The game – which will release later this year with PlayStation VR features – was announced at PlayStation Experience a while back, and now has received an extended trailer...
News Tekken 7 Post-Launch Support Wouldn't Exist Without Paid DLC, Says Director
Classic characters won't be paid DLC, though
Tekken director and chief producer Katsuhiro Harada has never been one to mince words.

Review Tales of Berseria (PS4)
Velvet not cut from the same cloth
You can always count on the Tales series to keep to its roots. While the latest Final Fantasy might have divided opinion with its more Westernised open world direction, Tales of Berseria is a far more typical Japanese role-playing game that continues – and develops, in some meaningful ways – the genre's...
News Eliza's Back for Blood in New Tekken 7 Trailer
Drink up
Eliza caused a bit of a stir when she was originally plopped into free-to-play PlayStation 3 title Tekken Revolution. A vampire who has access to a few long-range attacks and a series of not-typically-Tekken moves, many players thought that she was just a touch too anime for the property - and to be fair, she does sort of stand out, even as...
Feature Tales of Berseria Goes For a Darker Kind of RPG Party
Not your usual group of teenagers
The Tales series has always taken its main cast of characters pretty seriously, and Tales of Berseria is no different.

News Tekken 7 Delayed to Avoid Mistakes of Games Like Street Fighter V
Whiff punish
The good news is that Tekken 7 has a confirmed PlayStation 4 release date - the bad news is that the game is no longer launching in early 2017. Now pegged for release on the 2nd June, the delay is admittedly a little hard to stomach since we've been waiting so long to begin with, but it's all for a good cause, according to director...
News Dark Souls III: The Ringed City Prepares to Die on 28th March
Praise the sun
We weren't overly enamoured with Dark Souls III's first expansion pack, but hopefully The Ringed City can rectify things. The second major add-on is set to release on 28th March for the PlayStation 4, and is packed with familiar imagery of faraway castles and colossal beasts. Will you be psyching yourself up for this date with death?...
News Tekken 7 June Release Date Confirmed on PS4

The retailer currently has a page for the title's...
News Tekken 7 Gameplay Shows the Latest PS4 Build in Action
Excellent
We haven't seen all that much of Tekken 7 running on a PlayStation 4 - or anything outside of an arcade unit for that matter - but thanks to the power of YouTube, we're able to share the latest build of the game running on Sony's console. The footage, posted by TrueTekken, is taken from the title's recent Nordic Tour. Featuring Miguel and...
Rumour Vampire Fighter Eliza Returns in Tekken 7's Deluxe Edition
Along with an extra game mode
Okay, who remembers Eliza, the very-anime vampire from free-to-play title Tekken Revolution? Boasting projectile attacks and a crazy look, she was something of a divisive addition to the character roster, but despite her odd nature, it looks like she's returning in Tekken 7 - but only if you nab the so-called deluxe...
News Hold Up! Suggestive PlayStation VR Title Summer Lesson Is Getting Subtitles

Video Taking Tales of Berseria's Hectic Combat System for a Spin
Monster mashing
The Tales games have always prided themselves on their combat systems. Typically fast and flashy, the series is sometimes just as much about action as it is role-playing, and that's very likely going to be the case with Tales of Berseria, which is launching on PlayStation 4 near the end of the month. With a playable demo now...

News Tales of Berseria's Demo Is Out Now on PS4
Handy
Tales of Berseria's playable pre-release demo is out right on the European PlayStation Store, weighing in at 444.8MB on the PlayStation 4. We imagine that it'll hit the North American store either just after midnight or at some point tomorrow. The demo should give you a decent taste of the combat system, which is bound to be as frantic as...
News Oh, Right! There's a Project CARS 2 Still Coming to PS4
Here's an update on its progress
The original Project CARS was… Alright, we suppose. If memory serves, the Slightly Mad Studios developed simulation sold rather well on the PlayStation 4, and probably owed much of its success to the absence of Gran Turismo Sport on the console. It's, of course, worth mentioning that Polyphony Digital's new-gen...
News Ace Combat 7's Looking Top Gun on PlayStation VR
Turn and burn
Judging by the PSX 2016 trailer, Ace Combat 7 is going to be, well, ace – but it's nice to finally get a glimpse at the impending sequel's PlayStation VR mode. Unfortunately, this is separate to the main campaign, and will have its own standalone side-story and missions – but it's looking really good in this six or so minute...
News Tales of Berseria's Brooding English Story Trailer Is Its Best Yet
No mercy
Bandai Namco's pumped out quite a few Tales of Berseria videos by this point, but we reckon that its latest English story trailer is the best of the bunch. Featuring a mix of animated clips, in-game cutscenes, stints of gameplay, and some pretty ominous backing music, it sets the rather dark tone of the game pretty well. The PlayStation 4...
News Kuma and Panda Claw Their Way Into Tekken 7
Beary beary excellent
Destructive duo Kuma and Panda are back in Tekken 7, ready to crush the opposition with deadly range, crazy moves that no one sees coming, and, of course, brute strength.

Interview Flying High with Kazutoki Kono and Ace Combat 7 on PS4
The sky's the limit
One of the coolest uses that we've seen for PlayStation VR yet is the experience of Ace Combat 7. The series has always been about high-octane, sky high dogfights, and now it's taken to a whole new level by placing you inside the cockpit for the first time. We recently got to sit down and have a chat with Kazutoki Kono to talk a...
News Bandai Namco Opens Up About Controversial Tales of Berseria Localisation Change
Let's not get violent
Okay, so Bandai Namco released a new Tales of Berseria trailer yesterday that focuses on the title's English voice acting - but for once, the English dubbing isn't what some fans are concerned about. Instead, people are pointing out that a specific scene within the game - which features in the aforementioned trailer - has been...
