Arrowhead Recruiting Devs to 'Accelerate and Beef Up' Helldivers 2 Content Plans | Push Square

The eagerly anticipated New Game+ update is now available in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. It adds plenty of additions players have been asking for, and at least one no one had on their bingo card: access to a developer debug menu that messing around in could potentially corrupt your saves and disrupt Trophy progress.

RPG Maker is a franchise that's largely steered clear of PlayStation consoles, but that trend is set to change with the release of RPG Maker WITH. Published by NIS America, it's headed to PC and Switch at some point in the autumn / fall, while PS5 and PS4 versions are locked in for 2025.

Amazon's upcoming TV take on Fallout continues to look incredible, and we appear to be on the precipice of a bold new world in which video game adaptations, like HBOs The Last of Us, don't have to be terrible. Over three minutes, the insanity and «vibe» of the bizarre post-apocalyptic setting are damn-near perfectly captured, and we can't help but get our hopes up for this one.

The First Berserker: Khazan just got a fresh gameplay trailer, and although it doesn't really offer up anything new, we do get a slightly better look at this bloody brawler.

How's that for a shadow drop? Survival-shooter series STALKER has just arrived on PS4 (and PS5, via backwards compatibility). All three titles, which released for PC back in 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively, are available to buy through the PS Store right now. You can either pick up STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy to snag all three in one bundle (priced at £35.99 / $39.99), or you can purchase each game individually (priced at £15.99 / $19.99 a pop).

Further light has been shed on the mysteries of the Helldivers 2 universe, in which those titular heroic troopers spread Democracy to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, crushing both Bugs and Bots under polished jackboots. What insidious intelligence directs these loathsome foes of Freedom and Liberty, you ask? An Arrowhead Game Studios employee named Joel.

Patch 1.43 is out now for Gran Turismo 7 for PS5 and PS4, which bundles another three cars into the driving simulator as well as new races to take part in at Laguna Seca and the Suzuka and Tsukuba Circuits. A 1.68GB update will gain you access to that content, which can be downloaded now.

Borderlands maker Gearbox Entertainment is on the verge of joining Saber Interactive in being bought out of the sinking ship that is the Embracer Group, a new Kotaku report claims. It's stated that CEO Randy Pitchford shared the news with employees during a town hall meeting earlier this week, with more information coming in March. The site «understands that the decision was made to sell, and a deal is in the late stages of being finalized».

This week sees the arrival of another big, free update for Disney Dreamlight Valley. The life sim had its full 1.0 launch back in December, and the imminent Laugh Floor update will be the first major addition of 2024. As its name implies, the focus is on Disney and Pixar's Monsters, Inc., bringing main characters Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan, or Sulley, to the game.

Skull and Bones, the live service pirate game that released just over two weeks ago on PS5, is already having its price slashed across the US and Europe. It was a full-price title at launch — your now-standard $69.99 / £69.99 — but it's currently down to as low as $44.99 / £49.85 (as reported by VGC). While that's certainly not what we'd call cheap, it's still a significant discount after such a short length of time on the market, and it suggests that retailers are struggling to shift copies.

Critics of Sony’s live service initiative are having their suspicions affirmed lately, as the platform holder struggles to get its projects off the ground. While the excellent Helldivers 2 has launched to great success, Naughty Dog’s standalone adaptation of The Last of Us has been unceremoniously scrapped, while Firesprite’s upcoming Twisted Metal reboot was recently canned and London Studio shuttered entirely. The latter was working on a co-op fantasy game.

Developer Remedy Entertainment has announced it has acquired the full right to the Control IP, something it previously shared with publisher 505 Games.
