Time for a little update on how <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/soma/" target="_blank">SOMA</a> is doing. (A brief summary for those who don't already know: SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from the creators of <a href="http://www.amnesiagame.com/#main" target="_blank">Amnesia: The Dark Descent</a> that will tackle unsettling questions about consciousness. It will be released on <a href="https://us.playstation.com/ps4/?CMP=soc_us__gm_PS4_PSBlog_3_4_14" target="_blank">PS4</a> in 2015.) Before I get started, I should say a few words about the new teaser trailer, “Thetaâ€. This video showcases a few in-game scenes along with fresh voice work. Our hope is to give you a taste of the feel and atmosphere that SOMA will have. It also contains a few clues on what the game's story will be about. More...

Time is ticking down to the launch of Drakengard 3, coming exclusively to PS3 on May 20th.

As you’ve probably read by now, cumulative PS4 sales have now surpassed six million units worldwide following the successful launch in Japan just over a week ago. It’s truly humbling to see the rate at which gamers across the globe are choosing PS4 as their next gen console of choice. Even more exciting is what happens when gamers power up their PS4s. In the United States, more than 90% of PS4s are online, enabling gamers to connect, compete and share their greatness with friends and fellow gamers. More...

I think the best way to start off any new month is with two free PlayStation Plus games. For March we have Dead Nation: Apocalpyse Edition for your PlayStation 4 and Tomb Raider for your PlayStation 3. If you’re unfamiliar with the original Dead Nation, it’s a top-down twin-stick shooter that’s best experienced with a friend. Make sure you’ve got a strategy and plenty of items before you head out to take down hordes of zombies. The Apocalypse Edition was just <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/27/dead-nation-apocalypse-edition-coming-to-ps4-march-4th/" target="_blank">announced last week</a>, will be hitting PlayStation Store tomorrow, and it has some interesting benefits like an interactive live streaming option.

Hi PlayStation.Blog readers! I'm Daniel Posner, reaching out to you from Toronto, Canada. My long-time friend, Rich Hilmer, and I recently co-founded a brand new indie game studio called Finish Line Games. Along with guru programmer friend Matt Robinson, Rich and I have been working on a passion project over the past few years, and we're super excited to announce the fruits of our labor: Cel Damage HD, a high definition re-release of the original, vehicular combat game that debuted back in 2001.

It's been a long time coming, but Update 12 is here! The <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps4/games/warframe-ps4.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_Warframe_Update12_Post_3_3_14" target="_new">Warframe</a> team is extremely (dare I say <i>Digital Extremely</i>...*crickets*) excited to not only bring Update 12 to our existing PS4 players, but also to our newly added Warframe fans in Japan. They just got a taste on their Day 1 launch. This is another big update that includes a new Warframe, new weapons, a new game mode, and my personal favorite; a badass new HUD! More...

Just like last year’s Spring Fever promotion, over the next four weeks we are championing indie developers who are bringing new and exciting experiences to the PlayStation platforms and giving PS Plus members 20 % off each title during each game’s launch week. The Spring Fever lineup features titles from stellar indie developers and I think it is safe to say that this year’s lineup rivals (and maybe even surpasses) that of 2013. More...

People have been asking for a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_blank">PS3</a> version of Fez since day one, and we believe it was worth the wait. Blit took the time to make a solid C++ port of the game, which runs smoothly at native resolution on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/" target="_blank">PS Vita</a>, and 720p at 60 frames per second on PS3. The <a href="https://us.playstation.com/ps4/?CMP=soc_us__gm_PS4_PSBlog_3_3_14" target="_blank">PS4</a> version is what we consider to be the best-looking and smoothest Fez experience you can get on a TV set, running at beautiful 1080p (and yes, 60fps too).

For the most part, players can explore the world of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn at their own leisure. But what would an MMO be without some group content? In this blog post, we'll introduce you to the numerous activities that can only be mastered in groups of four to 24. More...

The masterminds at Metanet stopped by to write a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/28/what-is-n-an-intro-to-the-ps4-action-platformer/" target="_blank">surprisingly detailed update</a> about their upcoming PS4 ninja platformer N++, we got a tantalizing peek at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/27/industrial-revolution-the-order-1886-on-ps4/" target="_blank">The Order: 1886</a>, The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 2 is <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/27/the-walking-dead-s2e2-hits-ps3-tuesday-watch-the-new-trailer/" target="_blank">coming to PS3 this Tuesday</a>, and more.

The genre that best describes N++ is without a doubt “platformer." You play as a tiny ninja who runs and jumps around a 2D side-view world full of interactive objects and deadly enemies, collecting gold and trying to make it safely to the next level. It’s fast-paced, tense and exciting. However, N++ has a unique feel which distinguishes it from other platformers: the ninja moves with an exaggerated sense of inertia and momentum. Gradually learning how to control the ninja -- developing an intuition for how it will react and how to harness its momentum -- is one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of the game.

Hi PlayStation.Blog! Italian indie studio <a href="http://www.mixedbag.it" target="_new">MixedBag</a> here again. Last Tuesday, we announced our crazy shoot 'em up <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/18/futuridium-ep-deluxe-a-psychedelic-new-ps-vita-shoot-em-up/" target="_blank">Futuridium EP Deluxe</a>, coming exclusively to PS Vita. Today, we're here to bring you more PlayStation love. Our big project - the one we opened MixedBag for - is a game we always wanted to make. We're immensely proud (drumroll) to announce forma.8, coming to PS4 and PS Vita. More...

During Tokyo Game Show last year, we (Henrik and Rickard), together with Sony Japan, announced that Pavilion would be coming to <a href="https://us.playstation.com/ps4/?CMP=soc_us__gm_PS4_PSBlog_2_24_14" target="_blank">PS4</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/" target="_blank">PS Vita</a> in 2014. Still, most people might not have heard that much about Pavilion, so we felt it was time to shed some light on the game. <em>"Pavilion, the fourth-person puzzling adventure from Visiontrick Media, throws you directly into its mysterious world without any text tutorials or beginning explanations. It is a puzzle game portrayed through exploration and audio-visual imagery. By interacting and observing you gradually, bit by bit, learn things about both the puzzling gameplay and the world itself."</em> More...

Zombie has been getting a lot of questions about when the next patch hits for the <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps4/games/blacklight-retribution-ps4.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_BLR_Patch_Post_2_26_14" target="_new">Blacklight: Retribution</a> PS4 beta, and what will be in it. We're happy to announce that the first content patch for Blacklight: Retribution on PS4 will go live today, Thursday February 27th. This patch includes too many things to list here, so we'll stick to the really, really good stuff - the first of which is the introduction of our cooperative game mode: Onslaught! More...

Hey everyone, it's Pawel Miechowski from 11 bit studios, here. Back in 2012, I had the pleasure of sharing information on <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games/anomaly-warzone-earth-ps3.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_Anomaly2_ComingToPS4_2_27_14" target="_blank">Anomaly Warzone Earth</a>. Today, I want to talk about the award-winning sequel to one of the world's first "tower offense" games - Anomaly 2 - which is coming soon to PS4. If you've played our first installment of the Anomaly series before, you know what's up. If you're new, please let me explain what Anomaly is all about, including some of its features. Anomaly Warzone Earth was one of the first tactical, reversed tower defense games in the world, where you didn't control the towers (aliens), but rather the attackers (human forces) and defended Earth.
