Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Comes to PS5 October 1 https://ift.tt/9qHVxyl

We are so excited to announce that even more new content is coming to Ghost of Yōtei! On October 1, we’ll have a new narrative expansion, new single-player combat survival mode, and new quality of life updates all coming in Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition!¹

Before we dive in, we want to take a moment to thank everyone for an incredible year since Ghost of Yōtei launched. We are so proud of our incredible community, and grateful for all of the fan art, cosplays, virtual photographs, combat montages, Twitch streams, Jubei thirst posts…we promise we’ve seen it all and love to share it around the studio. Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition will launch just in time for our 1-year anniversary, and we can’t wait for another year of new creations from all of you!

In the coming weeks we’ll have much more to share, but wanted to give you a few early looks today at the new content in Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition:

Ghost of Yōtei: Echoes of Sekigahara is our new narrative expansion. Split between the present day and flashbacks to Atsu’s time on the mainland, you’ll meet Nagato, a figure from Atsu’s past who has arrived in Ezo. In the present, you’ll explore a previously unseen valley once inhabited by The Snake and his gang of loyal followers, the Vipers. In the past, you’ll experience Atsu’s time in the Battle of Sekigahara and a key moment in her life before she returned home for her quest for vengeance. You’ll meet new enemies and find new heavy weapons, new armor sets, new dyes, and more.

Ghost of Yōtei: Most Wanted is a brand new single-player combat survival mode, our spin on a roguelike. You’ll accept bounties in order to start new runs, where taking down enemies will earn you perks, as well as unlock additional characters to play as. We’ll have much more to show soon, but as you can see in the trailer today, Atsu is a master with the dual katana, while Oyuki excels with the kusarigama, and Nagato shines with a yari. We love to watch the amazing combat reels that have been shared with us on social media, and can’t wait to see you all try to perfect these runs.

If you haven’t experienced Atsu’s journey yet, you can purchase Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition for $69.99 USD. In addition to Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted, this includes the award-winning main Ghost of Yōtei game as well as Ghost of Yōtei Legends, our online co-op experience with support for up to four players and multiple gameplay modes culminating in a Raid.² If you purchase the Complete Edition, you can immediately start playing the main game and Legends, and Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted will arrive with a patch on October 1.

Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition also includes all of the in-game content previously included in the Ghost of Yōtei Digital Deluxe Edition, as well as the Charm of Hokkyokusei. If you purchase by September 30, you’ll also get an early unlock of the Sakai Armor on October 1 for Atsu to wear, a throwback to Jin’s family armor from Ghost of Tsushima.¹

If you already own Ghost of Yōtei, you can get Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted by purchasing the Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition Upgrade for $14.99 USD. If you don’t already own the Digital Deluxe Edition and Charm of Hokkyokusei you’ll immediately unlock that content upon pre-ordering. And if you pre-order by September 30, on October 1 you’ll also get the early unlock of the Sakai Armor. 

Beyond the new content listed above, Ghost of Yōtei Complete Edition includes new tracks for Watanabe Mode that will be available throughout the entire game when the mode is enabled. There’s also new photo mode stamps, additional cosmetics for New Game+, and new Trophies for both Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted. 

For anyone who owns Ghost of Yōtei, even without purchasing the Complete Edition upgrade, a new patch on October 1 will add the new Beauty of Yōtei mode, which allows for a screensaver-like view of the environments of Ezo to keep on and relax at home (and take stunning new Photo Mode captures). There will also be new quality of life features including the option to keep an armor set’s appearance while using a different set’s stats, as well as a new high contrast accessibility option.¹ 

Thank you again to everyone for an amazing year since Ghost of Yōtei launched! We’ll have more to share about Most Wanted and Echoes of Sekigahara as we get closer to launch on October 1, so be sure to follow our social media channels and keep an eye out!

¹ Available via patch v.2.0 on October 1, 2026 globally, and October 2, 2026 in some territories, including Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Internet connection and account for PlayStation required to download.

² Online multiplayer requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. PS Plus is subject to a recurring subscription fee taken automatically until cancellation. Full terms: play.st/psplus-usageterms.

Helldivers 2 joins PlayStation Plus Game Catalog today, Devoid of Liberty update out now

Helldivers 2 joins PlayStation Plus Game Catalog today, Devoid of Liberty update out now https://ift.tt/Ouki5Il

We have watched the Void stretch across the galaxy for too long. The threat posed to our Liberty is too great and we can no longer stand by as the Illuminate gain ground.

Helldivers, you are needed on the battlefield of a new frontier–one more wild and uncertain than any we have faced prior. We must venture into their haunted abyss, the Void, and liberate it back into Super Earth’s control.

Today’s Devoid of Liberty release also coincides with Helldivers 2 entering the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Starting today, Helldivers 2 will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members.

Journey to the Void

Getting into the Void presents a unique challenge. High Command has ordered reconnaissance missions to gather as much intel as possible in order to give us an advantage.

The planets within the Void’s reach have been altered–strange mutations have left a permanent mark on planets, and intelligence reports suggest that these changes are even more significant the closer the planets are to the Void itself. What lies inside?

Complete new missions

You will be given new objectives to conquer–destroy Illuminate spires and gateways, complete data reconnaissance, and infiltrate Illuminate structures with your team.

New secondary objectives will also become available, from eradicating Void mutations to extracting materials for research, as well as the opportunity to open a secondary extraction zone on the map to potentially evacuate your squad faster.

Exterminate new threats

As you fight your way toward the Void, you’ll encounter new, hideously mutated organisms. We have received intelligence reports that indicate these metamorphosed creatures are emerging from the heart of the Void–they are ghoulish diversions wrought into existence by the Illuminate scourge to threaten our freedom.

The Wretch

The nimble Wretch moves fast and can easily overwhelm weaker fighters and dodge their counter-attacks–don’t let it get the jump on you.

The Crusher

On a relentless death march, the Crusher can take heavy damage and also dish it out. Wear it down before it regenerates.

Dive with more impact

We aren’t sending you in without backup. You may now gain all 300 ranks of security access and privileges, as well as new rank titles. 

We have commissioned SEAF platoons to aid in completing operations. They’ll arrive on dropships to fight alongside you and your squad, offering medical support via stims, but also give a boost to your morale when you salute, shake hands, and–of course–hug them.

This is our opportunity to strike and avenge the citizens, SEAF, and Helldivers lost in the Battle for Super Earth.

PlayStation Plus

Join the fight for galactic freedom as acclaimed co-op shooter Helldivers 2 arrives in the Game Catalog – included with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium*, starting today.

Want more good news? The Helldivers 2 community is about to take on an epic collective challenge: eliminate 500 million enemies by August 18 to unlock four Helldiver PlayStation avatars. Join the fight and help the community reach the goal!

Watch the Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play on August 17, pre-orders live today

Watch the Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play on August 17, pre-orders live today https://ift.tt/9qHVxyl

We’re excited to share that Phantom Blade Zero is now available for pre-order. We’re also sharing a deeper look at the game in a special Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play broadcast, streaming August 17 at 7:00pm PT / 10:00pm ET | August 18 at 3:00am BST / 10:00am Beijing Time / 11:00am JST. Today’s new  extended trailer isn’t enough to cover our intricate gameplay systems, dynamic combat, and the dark wuxia land we call the Phantom World. That’s why our upcoming State of Play takes a much closer look at what you can expect from Phantom Blade Zero.

You may have recognized a familiar face at the end of the pre-order trailer. Donnie Yen has served as creative consultant for Phantom Blade Zero since 2023, bringing his martial arts and action filmmaking expertise to our combat design to help deliver an authentic kung fu experience. He also takes on the role of Facial & Motion Capture Actor for Mó Yuan, our protagonist Soul’s father. 

What you saw in the pre-order trailer is only the beginning. Battling enemies atop a speeding wagon and crossing blades with former comrades like The Hunt are just the opening moments of Soul’s journey. The Phantom Blade Zero gameplay deep dive State of Play will introduce never-before-seen characters central to our story while showing just how expressive players can be with their individual builds. We’re looking forward to finally sharing more of what we’ve been working on.

Until then, Phantom Blade Zero launches on October 29, 2026, and is available to pre-order now on PlayStation 5. Pre-ordering Phantom Blade Zero grants early unlock of the Treasure Basin accessory and the Legacy outfit. Both items can also be obtained through in-game progression. 

We’re excited to share much more during our special standalone State of Play on August 17 and hope you’ll join us on the PlayStation Twitch and YouTube channels!

Regarding co-streaming and video-on-demand (VOD)

We welcome and celebrate our amazing co-streamers and creators, but licensing agreements outside our control could interfere with co-streams or VOD archives of this broadcast. If you’re planning to save this broadcast as a VOD to create recap videos, or to repost clips or segments from the show, we advise omitting any copyrighted music.

First look at Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories

First look at Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories  https://ift.tt/CSIrNG9

Last month, the team at Insomniac Games and Marvel Games shared lots of new details and reveals at San Diego Comic-Con for Marvel’s Wolverine. Today, we’re giving a first look at the PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle, which features a PS5 Digital Edition that captures the raw ferocity of Wolverine alongside a matching DualSense wireless controller and a game code for Marvel’s Wolverine.

Inspired by Insomniac’s Battle Reborn suit and claws, the PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle will be available globally and channels Logan’s unmistakable intensity through a bold yellow finish. The design brings in Wolverine’s exposed claw marks and lets players peek under the hood of the PS5 Digital Edition and see what’s underneath. The DualSense wireless controller also features furious slashes inspired by his famous claws, giving players a striking way to bring the game into the palm of their hands. 

The DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition will also be available for standalone purchase globally.

It was important for us to capture the primal energy of Wolverine in this new look for the PS5 console, and it has been fantastic collaborating with Insomniac Games and Marvel Games on the design. We worked alongside Jock, the Scottish graphic artist who contributed to the key art for Marvel’s Wolverine and whose work across comics helped inspire the bold, graphic tone of this limited edition design:

“I wanted to show Wolverine at his fiercest for Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories. I still draw all my artwork traditionally, so the opportunity to marry cutting-edge hardware with the energy and looseness of hand-drawn ink is incredibly exciting. I’m stunned by how well the console and accessories captured the raw energy of the drawing, bringing Wolverine to life in a completely unique way. ”

– Jock, Graphic Artist

“His [Jock] illustrative works have the energy and dynamics needed to capture the kinetic and violent nature of our hero. One whose primary interaction with the world is with unbreakable Adamantium claws. Jock’s illustrations are grounded and raw and perfectly personify Wolverine.”

– Marcus Smith, Insomniac Games

If you already own a PS5 (model group – slim) or PS5 Pro console, you’ll be able to purchase PS5 and PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition directly from PlayStation where direct.playstation.com is available* and in limited quantities through select retailers outside of these regions. These console covers include covers for both PS5 consoles with disc drives, and consoles without disc drives.

We’re also revealing another special PS5 Pro console cover design for players looking to channel another side of Wolverine. Inspired by the adamantium bonded to Logan’s skeleton and claws, the PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition feature the same dramatic claw-slashed details with a premium metallic finish that evoke Wolverine’s raw power and let players peer into the PS5 Pro console.

A matching DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition also features the same metallic finish and will be available for separate standalone purchase. You can purchase the Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition PS5 Pro console covers and DualSense wireless controller design where direct.playstation.com is available* and in limited quantities through select retailers outside of these regions. 

Insomniac Games is bringing an all-new original action-packed experience with Marvel’s Wolverine, and we hope you enjoy these designs inspired by the game and character. We can’t wait for players to experience Marvel’s Wolverine on PS5 when it launches beginning September 15, 2026.
