Hardcore PS5 Action RPG The First Berserker Will Debut Gameplay This Week | Push Square

Things are starting to heat up in the PS5 Pro rumour mill. Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb, who's been a relatively reliable source of information in the past, has made further comments on Sony's unannounced mid-step console, suggesting it's currently scheduled to arrive in about nine months' time.

The fierce battle for streaming rights rages on, and it looks like Disney+ has conquered when it comes to acquiring exclusivity on Hideo Kojima’s hotly anticipated documentary. Announced a little while ago – and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer – Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds is scheduled to release globally Spring 2024.

Sony has today shared the final PS Plus update of 2023, revealing what PS5, PS4, and Classic games are coming to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium for the month of December 2023.

Originally due in November, trendy K-hip hop combat game Tiger Blade will now purr to PSVR2 from 20th December, just in time for the holidays. The rhythm slasher, which sees you tasked with stealing a previously believed extinct cat from a rival clan, is set in an alternate version of Korea – and you can read more about the developer’s influences in our interview.

Fortnite is at peak popularity right now, following an outrageously successful OG season, and the launch of various new games, including LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing. With the holidays upon us, many had been looking forward to Epic Games’ annual WinterFest, where historically it’s introduced a cosy cabin for players to hang out in and unwrap presents.

God of War Ragnarok’s hotly anticipated free DLC expansion Valhalla, due out later today, will add more Trophies to the game – although they’ll be listed separately from the campaign, so you won’t need to worry about them if you haven’t earned the Platinum just yet. Writing on Twitter, game director Mihir Sheth confirmed the tidbit.

Ubisoft Original Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has crept up, releasing 18th January on PS5 and PS4, bringing the series to an entirely new generation after a 14-year hiatus. At The Game Awards, we were treated to a story snippet and a playable demo, and now we've got an expansive overview trailer to gush over.

With The Game Awards 2023 now squarely in the rear view mirror, it's time to reflect on what was shown during Geoff Keighley's big end of year bash. Criticisms of the format and actual award presentations aside, the event did give us some significant game reveals.

If you’re wondering what confidence feels like, try releasing your free-to-play shooter with no warning during The Game Awards, two days after CoD: Warzone's biggest free update in a year.

Nexon and Neople have announced The First Berserker: Khazan, a single-player action RPG from the Dungeon & Fighter universe. I’m not familiar with DNF, but going by The First Berserker’s trailer, it’s all about exceedingly grimdark blokes beating the paste out of each other. In this instalment, you play a once-proud general of the Pell Los Empire, who has been falsely accused of treason and sent into exile. He’s pretty miffed about this! Berserk, even.

Publisher Nexon and developer Neople have released the “World Premiere” trailer and screenshots for Dungeon Fighter Online-based single-player hardcore action RPG The First Berserker: Khazan.

During The Game Awards, developer Neople and publisher Nexon revealed The First Berserker: Khazan, its upcoming hardcore single-player action RPG set in the Dungeon & Fighter (DNF) universe. In the reveal trailer we get a look at the anime-style story the ARPG will be based on. Khazan will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
