Welcome to Urgent Fury

Arknights: Endfield will support upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PlayStation 5 Pro as part of the Version 1.4 update. Designed to take advantage of the latest PS5 Pro enhancements, the upgraded PSSR delivers sharper image quality, improved temporal stability, and smoother performance as you explore Endfield’s expansive sci-fi world. Sharper character detail With the upgraded PSSR enabled on PS5 Pro, character outfits and material textures appear noticeably sharper. Fine costume details, layered materials, and surface textures retain greater definition, allowing the game’s distinctive character designs to stand out with improved clarity throughout exploration, combat, and story scenes. Greater clarity for Endfield’s stylized world Arknights: Endfield’s stylized environments also benefit from the upgraded PSSR. Lush vegetation, sprawling industrial facilities, and the wildlife peacefully inhabiting natural environments all maintain stable, crisp detail, making exploration across the game’s diverse maps even more immersive. Crisp and stable visuals during fast-paced gameplay During fast-paced movement, the upgraded PSSR more effectively preserves image integrity and clarity while reducing visible instability. On PS5 Pro, the system can more consistently maintain higher frame rates at 4K resolution, delivering a gameplay experience that balances smoothness and visual quality. “Integrating upgraded PSSR required very little engineering effort, while improving image clarity and temporal stability across a wide range of gameplay scenarios. It allows us to present the world of Arknights: Endfield with greater visual consistency, preserving the smooth exploration and combat experience while bringing the rich details of Talos-II to life.” – David Gu, CTO, Hypergryph About Arknights: Endfield Version 1.4 – Companionship Celebration: Homecoming Version 1.4, Companionship Celebration: Homecoming, is the biggest content update since launch, bringing a major story expansion, new operators, gameplay systems, challenge modes, and Half-Anniversary rewards.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, launching October 23, developer Infinity Ward is amping up the Multiplayer experience with Kill Block, an adaptive live-fire training environment where modular battlegrounds reconfigure before every match, creating hundreds of unique configurations. Let’s take a closer look. Introducing Kill Block Deploy to the West Bridge Training Facility in Kill Block, a new dynamic combat space where sightlines, pathways, and cover objects shift between matches, forcing Operators to adapt in real time. Launching with both 3v3 Gunfight and the all new 10v10 Gunfight mode, Kill Block will offer over 500 possible configurations. The building blocks The West Bridge Training facility is an unrivaled example of military engineering, a self-contained compound featuring an array of concrete towers, electronics, motors, and pulley systems allowing regular reconfigurations of the map as various pieces, or “Slabs,” are moved around dictating the overall layout for the next deployment. The core design for Kill Block is based on three modular sections, including two outer End Slabs attached to a Central Slab, that combine into new battlegrounds between matches and even after certain Gunfight rounds. Most of these sections are brand-new while others are inspired by iconic locations from the Modern Warfare series such as Crash, Storage Town, Shoot House, and others. Each Slab is rectangular in shape, and when all three Slabs are connected a play space roughly the size of Shoot House from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is created. To quicken your intake of the environment, look for section markers around the perimeter and spray-painted signs helping to orient your position in the map. Learn the layout and adapt when it changes… or die trying. Play it your way No matter your playstyle, there’s room for it on Kill Block as the changing layout offers creative challenges with variations on vertical positioning, sightlines, flank routes, and more. For example, in one match you may be fighting within close-quarters trenches, while in the next you’re firing downrange across rooftops, or some mixture of the two. Luckily, with Modern Warfare 4’s refined and fluid movement mechanics, improved player agency, and tactical decision-making, there are countless ways to approach the field, no matter its form. Shifting weather patterns It’s not just the terrain that changes, but the weather, too. Some Slabs are fitted with military-grade weather simulation arrays outfitted with powerful fans to propel rainfall and snow flurries across the map. Weapons are additionally affected by the weather, with water and ice particles building up on the weapon until you swap armaments or reload. Beyond Kill Block Kill Block is just one part of the greater Multiplayer offering for Modern Warfare 4 at launch as players also deploy across 12 Core 6v6 maps that span the globe. Each location features a distinct visual identity and tactical flow, with two additional favorites arriving just after launch. At launch, players can expect a full suite of Core modes and Hardcore variants, as well as Party Modes. In addition to that, players can jump into large-scale battles across additional expansive maps, delivering intense combined-arms warfare. Immersive features on PS5 and PS5 Pro Modern Warfare 4 takes full advantage of the PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro through use of adaptive triggers, haptics, 3D audio, HDR, and 4K visuals. 120Hz HFR and VRR support ensure high fidelity play, while Remote Play support gives greater control over where you play and Low Energy Mode reduces overall power consumption. On PS5 Pro, players will additionally benefit from upgraded PSSR support, increased graphics quality for 120Hz and 60Hz, and an unlocked framerate when VRR and 120Hz are enabled. Pre-order Modern Warfare 4 on PlayStation 5 and gain Early Access to the Open Beta, Campaign Early Access, and more. MW4 launches on October 23. View the full article

Suit up, Rangers! Pre-registration for Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now open worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. To celebrate, we’re launching a community rewards campaign, headlined by a reward we think Ratchet & Clank fans will especially love: the exclusive Clank Suit skin for Widget. Since the game’s reveal a few months ago, we’ve been testing and refining the experience through regional soft launches in Canada, the Nordics, France, and Asia. After a successful testing phase shaped by player feedback, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now gearing up for global launch, and pre-registration is the first step on that journey. We can’t wait for what’s coming next! What is Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble? Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer hero shooter that brings the iconic franchise to mobile, developed by Oh Bibi in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Insomniac Games. Captain Qwark has created a revolutionary combat Simulation to find the next generation of Galactic Rangers. But, well… it’s Qwark. So once you step into the Arena, anything can happen. Players choose from legendary heroes, master unique abilities, and unleash an arsenal of explosive weapons in real-time PvP arena battles, enhanced by dynamic PvE elements that add depth and variety to every match. The hero lineup is something we’re especially proud of. With 12 Heroes available at launch, and more to come, each character brings a fresh new perspective to the Ratchet & Clank universe. Players will discover brand-new characters never seen before in the series: legendary heroes from the past, each with their own story and personality. From robots, aliens to new Lombaxes, every hero has a unique playstyle, design, and exclusive cosmetics. For Oh Bibi, it was a real privilege to collaborate directly with Insomniac Games on the design and backstories of the new Lombaxes, including insights from some of the original developers and designers behind the series’ most iconic titles. Bringing these characters to life inside the Simulation has been a true passion project for the creative team, and we can’t wait for players to meet them. At launch, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble features six distinct game modes, giving players plenty of ways to jump into the action. Squad up with friends in fast-paced team PvP battles, take on waves of enemies in PvE, or discover fresh twists to the license, including a battle royale-inspired mode and a football-inspired showdown where every goal comes with a little extra firepower (and yes, it’s football, not soccer!). Whether you’re chasing competitive wins, looking for co-op chaos, or simply excited to experience the Ratchet & Clank universe in a brand-new way, there’s a Rumble for you. Every mode is built around the fast, inventive, over-the-top action that has always defined the series. Respecting the legacy, reimagining the action Staying true to the series has been at the heart of the project from day one. The signature humor, beloved characters, and gloriously inventive weaponry that have defined Ratchet & Clank for over two decades are all here, reimagined for fast-paced battles built specifically for mobile, with new characters and weapons to discover. Music has also been a huge part of development. We drew inspiration from the music of the early games to capture that dynamic, nostalgic Ratchet & Clank tone we wanted for Ranger Rumble. One of the most rewarding moments for the team has been seeing longtime fans connect with that legacy and even ask us to release the soundtrack on streaming platforms. For the team, that kind of connection with longtime fans has been incredibly rewarding. As longtime players and fans ourselves, we know how much this universe means to people. That’s why our ambition was never just to bring Ratchet & Clank to mobile, but to create a game that feels like it truly belongs in the series. Mobile brings a new way to jump into the action, but the goal has always been clear: deliver a polished, authentic experience that respects the franchise, its legacy, and the players who love it. How the pre-registration rewards work The rewards campaign is a true community effort. Every pre-registration counts toward global milestones, and each milestone reached will unlock new in-game rewards* for everyone. Players can earn Qredits, Reebos, and Raritanium to get a strong head start when the game launches. And the campaign’s ultimate reward? The exclusive Clank Suit skin for Widget! If the final community milestone is reached, every player will be able to unlock it at global launch. All rewards will be delivered to players when the game launches. So you know what to do, Ranger. Captain Qwark is counting on you! Pre-register today, and get ready for the rumble Head to www.rangerrumble.com to pre-register now on the App Store and Google Play, available worldwide. Until launch, the team is hard at work polishing the game, expanding the experience, and preparing a few exciting surprises for players to discover. Some of what’s coming may already be hiding in the screenshots throughout this article… We can’t wait to share more soon, and we look forward to seeing you in the Simulation at launch. Get ready, Ranger — the Rumble is just getting started! *Rewards will be delivered to the in-game mailbox within 30 days of the official global launch for all players who have finished the tutorial.

Tomorrow, Moss: The Forgotten Relic arrives on PlayStation 5. For many players, this will be their very first venture into the world of Moss. For others, it’s a chance to return to a place that has stayed with them long after the credits rolled. Either way, we’re incredibly excited to finally share our handcrafted adventure, Moss: The Forgotten Relic with everyone. Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a reimagined collection that brings Moss, Moss: Book II, and the Twilight Garden expansion together into one handcrafted fantasy adventure for PlayStation 5, without the requirement of a VR headset. We hope returning players enjoy seeing Quill’s world in a new light, and we can’t wait to welcome all of you who are just now meeting her. We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing our launch trailer, giving you a glimpse of the adventure, danger, and heart that define Quill’s journey. Play Video When we first started working on Moss, we wanted to build a nostalgic fantasy adventure inspired by the classic stories and games we grew up with, all centered around one question we had never seen explored before: What if the hero of the story could see you? What if they needed you? That idea shaped every decision we made. Every environmental diorama was handcrafted to feel like a page from a living storybook. Every puzzle, encounter, and personal moment was designed to strengthen the bond between the player and our hero, Quill. We wanted players to feel protective of Quill, but just as importantly, inspired by her determination. Courage comes in the smallest forms At the heart of our story is Quill, a tiny mouse with extraordinary courage who dreams of greatness beyond the safety of her forest settlement. Clever yet untested, she is always eager to prove she’s capable of something greater. It’s hard not to root for her from the moment you meet her. Her life changes when she discovers a long-lost Green Glass relic, awakening an ancient bond with a mysterious spirit companion: you. That single discovery sets in motion an adventure far greater than she ever imagined. Together, you embark on an adventure in the world of Moss. And spoilers: it’s not a simple walk in the woods. Ancient ruins tower overhead. Forgotten kingdoms have fallen into decay. Creatures many times Quill’s size lurk around every corner, and danger is never far away. Every obstacle is a reminder that the hero’s journey is not an easy one, no matter the size. She may be one of the smallest heroes you’ll ever meet, but she never stops believing there’s a way forward. It’s hard not to root for her, help her, and protect her every step of the way. A hero that sees you In our game, you aren’t simply controlling Quill from afar. You become the “Reader”, a mysterious presence within the world itself who acts as Quill’s watchful and most trusted guardian. She sees you, and she knows you’re there. Throughout your adventure with Quill, she looks to you for reassurance, celebrates victories with you, asks for help, and trusts you when the path ahead seems uncertain. She acknowledges your presence, making the relationship feel remarkably personal. That partnership extends beyond the story into the gameplay itself. As the Reader, you help shape the world around her by moving obstacles, clearing paths and confronting looming threats to aid and protect Quill on every step of her journey. In return, Quill looks to you for reassurance, celebrates victories alongside you, and occasionally even reaches out for a high-five! We’ve always described this relationship as “Twofold”: two heroes sharing one adventure together. It’s a special connection that sits at the emotional core and game design of Moss, and something we are very excited to share with a whole new audience on PlayStation 5. Reimagining Moss for PlayStation 5 With Moss: The Forgotten Relic we knew we wanted to preserve the intimacy, emotion, and sense of connection that have defined Moss, while delivering what we believe is the most refined and cinematic presentation of Quill’s story to date. Moss: A Forgotten Relic features enhanced visuals, modernized presentation, and newly crafted cinematic camera systems designed to bring players even closer to the emotion, scale, and atmosphere of this world. Every encounter, puzzle, and environment was carefully revisited so the adventure feels completely at home on PlayStation 5. Moss: The Forgotten Relic launches July 16 on PlayStation 5, and can be added to your wishlist now. View the full article
