Fit for a king
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom seriously has our attention after showing off a new gameplay trailer at Sony's PlayStation Experience 2016 press conference.

PSX 2016 Ace Combat 7 Takes to The Skies With New Trailer
Soarin'
We haven't heard much about Bamco's sky-high flight series in some time. After being announced at last year's PSX, details were scarce until Ace Combat 7 appeared on the list of playable games at Sony's end-of-year bash. Unfortunately while this trailer confirmed that Ace Combat 7 still exists, we didn't much past that. Barely a minute of...
News Tekken 7 Strikes Back with Another Punchy Trailer
High-hachi
The Tekken community is pretty hyped for release of Tekken 7 on consoles early next year, and they've got a good right to be from what we can tell. The series' seventh instalment has been in the works for a long time now, but all those years spent in the oven appear to have cooked up something pretty special. The franchise has never...

News You Can Expect Plenty of Single Player Content from Tekken 7 on PS4
Tekken back the crown
Fighting games are quite strange beasts these days. The genre will always have its hardcore and professional fans - there's no doubt about that - but very few fighters manage to appeal directly to a more casual audience. The bottom line is that times have changed; we remember the days when Tekken, for example, was a massive...

News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 PS4 Patch 1.02 Improves Lag and Load Times
Super
There's a 700MB patch available for Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 on PlayStation 4 right now, and it's promising some nice improvements. One of the only things that we pinged the brawler for in our review, update 1.02 apparently shortens the game's lengthy load times. According to the patch notes, it also improves lag during online play, hopefully...
News Ni no Kuni II Finally Gets a Mention as Developer Reveals Kingdom Building
About time
It feels like an eternity has passed since we last heard anything about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. The incredibly pretty role-playing game was revealed during last year's PlayStation Experience, and we've heard absolutely nothing about the release since. Fortunately, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has at least confirmed that the Japanese...
Review Dark Souls III: Ashes of Ariandel (PS4)
The weather outside is frightful
Enter The Painted World via the grovelling NPC at the Cleansing Chapel bonfire and you're plunged into a harsh and isolated environment, with vision-impairing snow and unfamiliar faces. Wolves hunt you down and axe-wielding warriors make the very earth beneath you quake. It seems like a tough environment where...
Review Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 (PS4)
Make a wish
Dragon Ball XenoVerse certainly wasn't perfect, but for a mostly fresh take on the Dragon Ball license it got a lot of things right, and its direct sequel, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, isn't looking to shake things up. Instead, this is a brawler that takes the typical Japanese sequel route, in that it's happy to keep the fundamentals in...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's Launch Trailer Is Too Good Not to Post
Blown away
We don't always cover launch trailers here on Push Square, but Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2's celebratory video is a tad too epic to pass up. Featuring some rocking guitars and loads of action, it's probably the game's best trailer to date, and it should certainly get fans hyped for the imminent release. You can read our Dragon Ball...

News Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Beta Extended Until Tomorrow on PS4
An extra day of training
Someone must have made a wish using the Dragon Balls, because Bandai Namco has revealed that it's extending the Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 open beta. Originally, the test was supposed to end today, but now, it'll come to a close on the 18th October at 09:00AM BST / 10:00AM CEST. However, there's a slight catch in that the beta...

Up for some over-the-top anime style action? You're in luck if so, because the Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 open beta is now live on PlayStation 4 - all you have to do is grab it from the PlayStation Store. We were lucky enough to gain access to the closed beta last week, and we enjoyed what we played, even if it did feel a little too familiar at...
News Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization's Main Story Will Take Around 40 Hours to Finish
70 to 100 if you're maxing out
We remember reviewing Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment and being left slightly surprised by just how long the game took to finish. Even at around 40 to 50 hours in, we felt as though there was still so much to see and do - and we suppose that's exactly what a lot of people want from their role-playing adventures...

Waifu simulator
If this turns out to be the last article that you ever read from your disgraced editor, then you'll know that Interpol raided Push Square Towers shortly after going to press. Summer Lesson, a PlayStation VR exclusive in Japan only, sees you spending alone time with a teenager under your tutelage – and while it's not overtly sexual,...
Hands On Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Seeks to Be a Safe But Solid Sequel
History repeats
Dragon Ball XenoVerse is a good game in itself, but it's one of those titles that's begging for a sequel. For a first attempt, XenoVerse gets a heck of a lot right, but as is the case with many licensed Japanese titles, it's really just laying the foundations for something bigger and better. Enter Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 - a sequel...
News Miguel Is Back in Tekken 7 and He's Still Really Angry
His rage knows no bounds
Spanish brawler Miguel is back for another round in Tekken 7, a lovely new character trailer confirms.

As with just about every other fighter...

Taking the fight to Nappa in Great Ape form,...
Hands On Little Nightmares Is a Spooky PS4 Surprise
Sweet dreams
You wouldn't expect a puzzle platformer to be one of the pleasanter surprises at EGX 2016. Perhaps the booth should have been a better indication; Little Nightmares wasn't stuffed away in the corner of the convention, but instead commanded centre stage, with an elaborate labyrinth-like setup involving towering drawers and dressed-up...

News New English Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Trailer Is All About a Girl
As per usual
If you've been following Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, you'll probably already know that the game's plot revolves around an unknown girl named Premiere - a non-playable character who we suspect is at the heart of more than one mystery. The role-playing title's latest English trailer nails that point home, as we're bombarded with...
TGS 2016 Tekken 7's New Gameplay Trailer Packs a Punch

Correction Digimon World: Next Order Is Not Coming to Vita in the West
Please make it stop
Jeeeeeeeeez Bandai Namco, are you serious? Yesterday, the publisher confirmed that Digimon World: Next Order was coming West in early 2017. Great, we thought. The press release only mentioned that it was heading to the PlayStation 4, so naturally, we assumed that it was going to be exclusive to Sony's current-gen console in North...
News Digimon World: Next Order Is Coming to Vita in the West After All
Prodigious
Some good news for fans of Sony's portable system: Digimon World: Next Order is coming to Vita after all. Earlier today, we reported on Bandai Namco's confirmation that the role-playing game would be heading West next year, but the press release only mentioned one platform: the PlayStation 4. Strange, we thought, given that the title...
TGS 2016 Tales of Berseria Lays Out Its Plot in English PS4 Trailer
The hand that eats
Tales of Berseria is due out on PlayStation 4 in early 2017 - along with just about every other game in existence it would seem - and to remind you of that fact, Bandai Namco's released a new trailer that's coated in English subtitles. Highlighting the action role-playing game's plot, the video gives us a look at how main...
TGS 2016 Digimon World: Next Order Confirmed For Western Release on PS4
No mention of Vita, though
Bandai Namco has confirmed via a new trailer that Digimon World: Next Order is heading West in early 2017. Great news for Digimon fans, but bad news for Vita enthusiasts as there's been no mention of the game coming to Sony's handheld system, despite the fact that it launched in Japan as a Vita exclusive. Still, after the...
News Digimon World: Next Order Could Be Coming West on PS4
Announcement may be imminent
Although there's been no official word from Bandai Namco, it looks like Digimon World: Next Order could be heading West.

Video Pop Pills with Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 on PS4
Pac attack
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX was one of the best games on the PlayStation 3, but can its successor build on near-perfection? The answer, of course, is no – but Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is still a fun game. It adopts a more complicated take on the original's arcade action, encouraging you to "wake" sleeping ghosts in order to...
News Ni no Kuni II Sounds Like One Huge RPG Project
Fit for a king
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is probably going to take hours upon hours to complete - we can guess that much by looking at PlayStation 3 predecessor Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, which was huge to begin with. In an interview with IGN Japan, translated by Kotaku, Level-5 founder Akihiro Hino says that the scale of t
Review God Eater 2: Rage Burst (PS4)
Bound by Blood
God Eater 2: Rage Burst opens with your stereotypical animated intro: it's got punchy Japanese rock, a nice sense of style, and it does a fine job of getting you pumped for some God eating action. Bandai Namco's latest export gives a good first impression, then, but you may struggle to maintain your enthusiasm as you begin to tear...
Review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PlayStation 4)
Life's a witch, then she dies

Video Release Your Rage Burst with God Eater 2 PS4 Gameplay
Delicious deities
As you all know, there's no Monster Hunter on the PlayStation 4 just yet – well, unless you count that weird MMO thing that was announced in Japan over the weekend. Many publishers not named Capcom have been trying desperately to plug that gap on Sony's systems for some time as a result – with Koei Tecmo's Toukiden and Bandai...

To die for
Is this winning streak that From Software's on ever going to end? Just when we thought that we were done with Dark Souls III, it's only gone and raked us back in with this Ashes of Ariandel trailer.

Tag team
Oh no, a wild Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 trailer has appeared – where's Ramsey when you need him?

Review Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force (PS Vita)
Full Bust
The PlayStation Vita has its first Gundam game here in the West, and unfortunately, it's not that great. A spin-off from Japan's super popular Gundam VS series, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force is essentially a watered-down edition of the arcade action property with a focus on single player content. Directly comparing this portable...
