News Metro: Exodus Doesn't Know What Its Own Season Pass Contains
"Exact contents still to be determined"
Pre-orders for Metro: Exodus just went live over on the PlayStation Store, with a Gold edition advertising a complete version that bundles together the game, a dynamic theme, the official soundtrack, and the title's season pass for £74.99. What is a little suspect, however, is the description of the product...

Game reaches another stretch goal
Shenmue III’s stumbled over $7 million in fan funding through slacker backer support, which means that the scale of the project has increased again.

News Dead Island 2 Is Still in Development, More Will Be Revealed in Time
Not dead yet
Want to know something crazy? We played Dead Island 2 about four years ago. The demo was like this co-op zombie horde thing, and frankly it wasn’t very good, but we absolutely spent some time with it. Since then, the project has been handed to a different developer (Sumo Digital) and presumably rebooted behind the scenes. And...
E3 2018 New Metro: Exodus Trailer Brings Lots of Gameplay and a Release Date
Don't expect that date to stay though
4A Games gave the world its first glimpse of its newest game, Metro: Exodus, at Microsoft's E3 conference last year, so it was no surprise to see Artyom and his wonderfully bleak Russian wasteland grace the stage again. Rather than a more structured , guided demo, we instead got a variety of brief snippets of...
News Metro Exodus Delayed into 2019
But it'll be at E3
THQ Nordic has stated in a financial report that Metro: Exodus, which was planned for a Q4 2018 release, will now be pushed back into Q1 2019. This is the latest in a string of major games moving away from this time period, presumably to avoid going up against Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2. The game's publisher, Deep Silver,...
News Shenmue III Celebrates MAGIC 2018 with Four New Screenshots
Lan Di drama
Fans were disappointed by Shenmue III’s presence at MAGIC 2018 in Monaco this weekend, as Ys Net opted to show an extended version of last year’s awkward Gamescom 2018 trailer instead of all-new footage. The developer did, however, release four new screenshots, which we’ve embedded in this article. The character models are...

Say goodbye to your social life
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the latest invader to land on our shores, readying its blade to take Skyrim's crown.

News Here's Why Kingdom Come: Deliverance's Day One Patch Is So Big
It'll take all knight to download

News Shenmue III's Looking Like a Lock for 2018
That's the plan, anyway
Shenmue III will finally continue its search for Lan Di later this year – at least, that very much appears to be the plan.

News Persona 5 Ultimate Edition Hits the PlayStation Store Today at an Outrageous Price
Bundles all DLC
Atlus is stealth releasing something called Persona 5 Ultimate Edition on the PlayStation Store today, but don't get too excited -- this isn't some kind of updated version of the amazing role-playing release (although we're sure that'll be arriving at some point down the line). The Ultimate Edition bundles all of the game's...

Deep Silver supposedly unhappy with sales
Volition, the developer behind Agents of Mayhem but best known for the Saints Row series, has been struck by a round of layoffs.

Gamescom 2017 Shenmue III PS4 Screenshots Show Stunning Locales, Waxy Characters
Yu Suzuki targeting improvements
Shenmue III’s debut trailer has been met with a mixed response: fans love the look of the environments, but pretty much everyone is in agreement that the animations need work.

Gamescom 2017 Here's Your First Look at Shenmue III on PS4
And thus the saga begins
What a surreal moment this is: we’ve waited over 15 years, but here’s our very first look at Shenmue III on the PlayStation 4. We’ve got to be honest with you, it’s hard to believe that we’re even writing this. So, the good: the environments are excellent. Yu Suzuki’s adventure series is famous for its...
Player agency
Watching Saturday morning cartoons as kid, there was always one thing that bothered us about shows focusing on paramilitary groups such as M.A.S.K. and G.I Joe. No, it wasn’t the fact they were designed primarily to sell toys to impressionable young minds, it was the way none of the teams ever showed up en masse to foil the plans of...

But why?
Agents of Mayhem is now just days - or hours, depending on your region - away from release on PlayStation 4, and Deep Silver's wheeled out the inevitable launch trailer to remind you of that fact. Said trailer also reminds us that this "isn't Saints Row", which is something that still has us scratching our heads. Anyway, it's easy to take...
News Agents of Mayhem's Marketing Is Getting Really Desperate
Yikes
Very few people care about Agents of Mayhem -- we know that by taking one look at the traffic it brings in for this site. It's one of those games that just can't seem to get a foothold no matter how hard it tries, a bit like Battleborn. Now, we don't want Agents of Mayhem to flop -- it could end up being an amazing game for all we know --...
News Kamurocho Is Calling in New Yakuza: Kiwami PS4 Gameplay Trailer
Return ticket
It feels like we only just completed Yakuza 0, but you know what? We can't wait to go back to Kamurocho next month. We were worried that having two Yakuza titles release in the same year would amount to overkill, but we've decided that we're more than ready to bust an extra thousand heads as Kazuma Kiryu. Yakuza: Kiwami, which is due...

News Agents of Mayhem Snags a Suitably Stupid Gameplay Trailer
No mercy
In case you didn't already know, Saints Row developer Volition is currently working on another nutty sandbox title called Agents of Mayhem, which sees you switch it up between a bunch of different playable characters while slaughtering faceless goons. For the most part the game looks reasonably fun, even if its sense of humour seems a bit...
News Dead Island 2 Hasn't Rotted Away Just Yet
Deep Silver says sequel's still coming
Hey, remember Dead Island 2? No, not Dying Light - we mean the actual sequel to Dead Island that was announced ages ago and then just kind of... Shuffled off a cliff. The title was originally set to launch back in 2015, and it's been over a year since we last heard about the game, but publisher Deep Silver has...
Review Dreamfall Chapters (PS4)
Dream on
–Dreamfall Chapters begins with protagonist Zoë Maya Castillo trapped in a coma, a predicament arguably more appealing than slogging through the interminable opening sections of this game. You're charged with wandering around a dreamscape while your physical body remains in a hospital bed, using powers that are barely explained to...

Remember this one?
Bloody Nora, we'd forgotten about this one. Saints Row developer Volition been busy beavering away on Agents of Mayhem for what feels like an eternity, while everyone else casually forgets that the Double Silver published shooter even exists. C'mon, you'd forgotten about it, hadn't you? It's okay, you can admit it. The single...
Steal yourself
Persona 5 is a difficult game to review – not because of its quality or lack thereof, but because it's such an intricate release. It's a role-playing title made up of many different parts, and explaining each and every one of them in detail would take way too long. With that in mind, we'll try to be brief: Persona 5 is a Japanese...
Hands On Persona 5 Has Absolutely Stolen Our Hearts on PS4
Let us start the game
There's no point in beating around the bush: from what we've played so far, Persona 5 is utterly brilliant. We're around 20 hours in, and although we still have potentially triple that amount of playtime to go, we can't deny that we're absolutely enraptured with Atlus' latest. Even as we're sitting here right now, writing this...
News All of Persona 5's DLC Will Be Heading West
Phantom thievery
Unsurprisingly, all of Persona 5's downloadable content will be making its way West following the game's release on the 4th April. European publisher Deep Silver has confirmed as much over on Twitter, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't be missing out on all that premium clutter Japan got last year. We say clutter,...

News Here's 30 Seconds of Bloodstained to Tide You Backers Over
Great?
These high-profile Kickstarter games have been a bit of a disaster, haven't they? We mean, first there was Mighty No. 9, which is currently bathing in the PlayStation Store's bargain bin juice. Then there was Shenmue III, which is still relying on Photoshopped images of protagonist Ryo Hazuki face. And finally there was Bloodstained, the one...
News Valkyria Revolution Invades the West on PS4, Vita Next Year
On the march
Hey, SEGA is on a bit of a roll these days isn't it? Well, relatively speaking. The Japanese publisher has announced that with the help of Deep Silver, it'll be bringing Valkyria Revolution West in spring 2017, and it'll be marching onto both PlayStation 4 and Vita. What's not to like? For those out of the loop, Revolution ditches much...
News Persona 5's Haru Drinks Tea and Kicks Arse in New Character Trailer
Befitting of a lady
The prim and proper Haru is the star of your latest Persona 5 character trailer, as she sips tea and shoots shadows in the face. She's also fond of a pretty large axe that she likes to swing around with some force, so she's a party member that you don't want to mess with - even if her somewhat snooty Phantom Thief costume...
News Futaba's Got Your Back in Latest Persona 5 Character Trailer
Clever girl
Atlus has released another Persona 5 character trailer, this time introducing the tech-headed Futaba.

Basically, she's the brains of the...

Getting the party started
[youtube: UWx-l1Xf60A] Atlus has released not one, but two new character trailers for Persona 5, meaning that we've now almost heard what the entire Phantom Thief party sounds like in English.

News Persona 5 Snatches Dual Audio on PS4, PS3 as Free DLC
Turning Japanese
Persona 5's been delayed. Yeah, we're disappointed, too - but at least it seems like Atlus is trying to release the very best game that it can here in the West. Case in point: the role-playing title will now feature dual audio as free downloadable content, meaning that you'll be able to play the game with either the English dub or...
News Persona 5 Gets Delayed Until April on PS4, PS3
Back into the shadows
Bah. There was a rumour earlier this week saying that Persona 5 would be slapped with a delay here in the West, but the source wasn't something that we could base a report on. Sadly, that doesn't matter anymore, because Atlus has now confirmed that the role-playing release really has been delayed in both North America and...

Fate's a funny thing
Ah, a lovely new Persona 5 trailer to feast ours eyes on - how thoughtful. This latest English video isn't all that detailed, but it gives a nice overview of your role as the protagonist.

It's like all of our dreams have come true. And we've got Deep Silver to thank. The publisher announced that it was stepping in to...
News Homefront: The Revolution Doesn't Run Quite as Badly on PS4 Now
If anyone cares
Remember Homefront: The Revolution? The grey and brown semi-open world shooter launched near the end of May, but it already feels like the title's long been swept away into the forgotten annals of video game history. Still, it's kind of nice to know that developer Dambuster Studios hasn't abandoned the release just yet, as a new...
News Dead Island's Deep Silver to Publish Persona 5 in Europe
SEGA's washing its hair
Persona 5 finally has a publisher in Europe – and its Dead Island's Deep Silver who's taking the reins. The company previously collaborated with Atlus to bring Catherine to the Old World, so it's a partnership that makes sense – though why owner SEGA can't just do it itself, we'll never know. It looks like the...
News Mighty No. 9 Has Some Mighty PS4 Performance Issues
Better than nothing
Mighty No. 9 brings all new meaning to the age-old message board adage: looks like a PlayStation 2 game. And that's mainly because… Well, it does. But at least with low-quality production values you can be guaranteed a sturdy framerate on the PlayStation 4, right? Right? Right? Not so, as Digital Foundry has taken the...
News The Maligned Mighty No. 9 Is 'Better Than Nothing', Says Creator
Erm?
This is one of those quotes that's so crazy it's hard to believe, but it's archived on Twitch – and yes, we did go back to watch it just to make sure. Speaking during a Mighty No. 9 launch broadcast, creator Keiji Inafune said via a translator that while the game's not perfect, "it's better than nothing". That is one extraordinary quote. The...
Review Deadlight: Director's Cut (PS4)
Flickers of hope
Arriving in 2013 as part of Xbox's Summer of Arcade, Deadlight reinvigorated the zombie horror genre with its classic 2D platforming and a uniquely bleak dreary tone. With the release of its next project RIME seemingly in development hell, Tequila Works has decided to revisit its esteemed debut to bring it glossier graphics, tighter...
