Fred finally wrapped up Metro Awakening and is making serious progress in F.I.S.T., while Jake is still deep into Kingdom Come: Deliverance and absolutely loving Resident Evil 4 VR2.
In the news, there’s a big PSVR2 sale on the PlayStation Store with deep discounts on Tetris Effect (75% off), Resident Evil Village (60% off), and more. Meanwhile, EA DICE announced Battlefield Labs, a new way for players to help shape the next Battlefield game through hands-on testing.
On the shutdown front, MultiVersus is coming to an end after a bumpy relaunch, and The Division 2 is also seeing its support wind down after five years. In stranger news, Assassin’s Creed Shadows story details have reportedly leaked through an adult site, so if you’re invested in the game, be careful what you search for online.
We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of Wayne June, whose unmistakable voice brought so much depth and atmosphere to Darkest Dungeon and other projects. His work was truly one of a kind, and his loss is deeply felt in the gaming community.
Sony says the classic 30th Anniversary PlayStation themes will return in the future, and Space Marine 2 will be getting more PvE and PvP maps after some player backlash over post-launch content. In leadership news, Hermen Hulst is no longer PlayStation’s co-CEO—Hideaki Nishino now holds the role alone. Meanwhile, Beyond: Two Souls is getting a TV series, produced by Elliot Page’s company.
We also take a look at this week’s new releases, including Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Momodora: Moonlit Farewell, and Luck Be a Landlord.
