Smooth Sailing for Xbox Exclusive Sea of Thieves As It Tops PS5 Pre-Order Charts | Push Square

Guilty Gear Strive Season 3 continues with returning fighter A.B.A on the 26th March, but as it turns out, Arc System Works still isn't done with the game. Revealed during the Arc World Tour 2023 finals overnight, Season 4 is now in development, and will offer what we assume is another set of DLC characters.

It looks as though the plump pockets of big corporations like Epic and Microsoft are beginning to empty, and it's putting some smaller studios in an awkward position. After offering funds in exchange for exclusivity or availability on Game Pass, many indie devs have come to rely on these deals to finance their projects. However, it seems those deals are becoming harder to lock down, and they're worth less than they used to be.

This author has long championed TopSpin 4’s realistic take on tennis, and while it’s taken over ten years to get a sequel, we’re ecstatic to see TopSpin 2K25 building on the foundations of its famous predecessor. This gameplay video recaps many of the features we mentioned in our recent preview, but it sprinkles in some footage to add context.

Several major games released at the same time last week, and though most have made it into the latest weekly Japanese sales charts released by Famitsu, the one that’s topped the charts might not be the one many would have expected. Princess Peach: Showtime! sits on top of the charts, beating out both Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin.

A Rise of the Ronin player stumbled upon a character creator preset that bears an uncanny resemblance to Hollywood actor Samuel L. Jackson. The player shared their discovery with the Rise of the Ronin community only to find out they were not alone in noticing the likeness.

A Bloodborne fan created an impressive illustration of the game's main protagonist, The Hunter. The critically acclaimed action RPG recently celebrated its ninth anniversary.

Rise of the Ronin, the latest tentpole PS5 console exclusive from legendary Japanese developer Team Ninja, has been subject to a colossal marketing push in Asia, where posters and billboards have been spotted around cities such as Taipei for several weeks now. That’s all culminated in an Edo period art exhibition in Huashan 1914 Creative Park – coincidentally, the former home of a Japanese sake manufacturer– where Sony has installed several 19th-century props inspired by the game.

Dragon’s Dogma 2, by all accounts a sensational RPG, is getting obliterated for adding microtransactions on launch day. These, we must stress, were unavailable to purchase during the review period but were mentioned in a media guide; they’ve since been made available for sale on the release’s launch day. Already it’s prompted a cavalcade of negativity on Steam, where the otherwise critically acclaimed escapade carries a ‘Mostly Negative’ review rating.

Sony has established a brand new production line for PlayStation 5 discs in Brazil, which should help make it easier for players in Latin America to obtain physical media for the console.

Open world historical epic Rise of the Ronin releases today, and we can't wait to explore 19th century Japan as a ronin – a samurai with no master. And it's from Team Ninja (Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, and Nioh) so our hopes are high.

Sony has set up a new production line in Brazil, where it will manufacture physical PlayStation 5 game discs.

Prior to its release, few predicted PS Portal would be successful. Many were baffled by Sony’s decision to release the Remote Play handheld, which streams gameplay directly from a PS5. But as the months wear on, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Sony’s added a permanent fixture to its hardware portfolio, with the device exceeding expectations.
