Hello again, PlayStation fans! From the start, the enthusiasm of the PlayStation VR2 community has been a source of inspiration for us. At Flat2VR Studios, we’re all VR gamers, just like you. Our journey started with a shared interest in playing the very best games in VR, and that passion continues to fuel everything we do.

Today, as part of the VR Games Showcase, we pulled back the curtain on a few of the PS VR2 titles we’ve been working on. Whether you’re into atmospheric horror, fast-paced FPS action, deep-space survival, or chaotic open-world mayhem, we’ve got you covered.

Out of Sight VR 

Horror has a way of creeping under your skin in VR like nowhere else, and Out of Sight VR offers a truly unique take on the genre. Developed by The Gang and adapted for VR by Flat2VR Studios, this chilling, atmospheric puzzle adventure puts players in the role of Sophie, a young blind girl who sees through the eyes of her teddy bear. 

Trapped in a dark and mysterious mansion, Sophie must navigate its treacherous halls, solve intricate puzzles, and evade the sinister captors lurking in the shadows—all while experiencing the world from a completely unique second-person perspective. Are you ready to step into the darkness?

San Diego Studio and MLB The Show add the G.O.A.T.s of baseball history to this year’s roster, totaling over 200 legends* in MLB The Show 25.

Hall of Famer Ted Williams highlights a class of unrivaled ballplayers alongside Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez, and introduces Negro Leagues legends James “Cool Papa” Bell and Wilber “Bullet Joe” Rogan. Fans can play with the iconic legends in this year’s game, along with returning legends Ken Griffey Jr., Derek Jeter, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, and Satchel Paige.

“Ted Williams instantly makes this MLB The Show 25 roster the greatest one we have ever assembled,” said Stephen Hass, Sr. Manager, Live Design on MLB The Show. “He joins more than 200 legends to create a Mount Rushmore of baseball royalty, alongside barrier breakers and record holders. It’s been a few years since Ted graced the game with his presence, and his value in baseball history is only matched by his character as a person. We can’t wait for this generation of fans to learn about him, and swing for the red seat once again.”

Largely considered one of the greatest ballplayers of all time, Ted Williams, embodies the pinnacle of baseball excellence. 

“Ted Williams’ legacy continues to captivate baseball fans across generations as one of the most revered players in the game’s history,” said Eric Abel, Longtime Family Spokesperson / Representative, and President of Ted Williams Family Enterprises, Ltd. “As the steward of his brand, I am committed to finding the best opportunities to share his story and introduce him to new audiences. MLB The Show 25 is a perfect partnership to honor Ted’s legacy and batting prowess. While most of today’s fans never had the chance to see him play in person, MLB The Show 25 allows gamers of all ages to experience the brilliance of the ‘Splendid Splinter’ and appreciate his lasting impact on baseball.”

Ted Williams played his entire 19-year MLB career with the Boston Red Sox from 1939 to 1960. In that time, Williams garnered an astonishing list of achievements:

• 2 American League MVP Awards
• 2 American League Triple Crowns
• 6 American League B

Fans of Tokyo Ghoul rejoice–Ken Kaneki is Dead by Daylight’s latest Killer and comes to PS5 and PS4 on April 2. For anyone new to the world of Tokyo Ghoul, the story takes place in a world where humans and Ghouls coexist. After a terrible accident, the bookish and kind Ken Kaneki receives a life-saving organ transplant – from a Ghoul. 

The procedure spared him from death but at great cost. Awakening as a half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid, Kaneki struggled to accept his Ghoulish nature while fighting to maintain the humanity he so cherished.

In Dead by Daylight’s reimagining of the character, Kaneki’s cruel torment at the hands of the ghoul, Jason, pushed his mind to its breaking point. Though he emerged victorious from his battle with Jason, Kaneki found himself immediately engulfed in an otherworldly black Fog, swept into The Entity’s Realm to engage in an endless cycle of Trials.

The humanity he fought so hard to retain is gone, replaced by a ghoulish desire for cruelty. His Kagune abilities, which manifest as deadly tentacles erupting from his back honed him into a preternatural instrument of death. Needless to say, Survivors have their work cut out for them – provided he doesn’t cut out their hearts first.

Why change Kaneki? 

Given his importance to the world of Tokyo Ghoul, it was important to ensure Ken Kaneki remained the centrepiece of our Chapter. Rather than making him a Survivor, as his moral compass in the series may suggest, we felt it would be more interesting to really lean into the horror and present an alternate real

Hunters, the time to start your expedition to the Forbidden Lands on PS5 is nearly here! To get ready for the hunt, we’ve got one more trailer to share, giving you a look at the game’s compelling narrative as well as revealing the new Monster Hunter Wilds rendition of “Proof of a Hero.”

Play Video

Monster Hunter Wilds aims to deliver a satisfying story campaign from start to finish that puts your hunter in the center of an ecological mystery, all set in the seemingly uncharted Forbidden Lands. As the lead hunter of the Expedition Team’s Avis Unit, you’ll unravel a mysterious quest full of danger, compelling characters, and a fully realized world brings you face to face with a long-forgotten threat. Your hunter, who’s fully voiced for the first time in the series, will perform heroic feats and hunt seemingly unstoppable monsters in the Guild’s quest to bring balance to an unstable ecosystem.

Whether you’re a newcomer looking for a new story adventure to experience or a Monster Hunter series veteran with many hunts under your belt, we hope you’ll enjoy the ride that Monster Hunter Wilds will take you on!

In case you missed it, have one more look at our launch trailer, which gives you a look at the exciting hunts on the horizon. It also shares a peek at the game’s first Free Title Update, which introduces the graceful leviathan Mizutsune to the Forbidden Lands.
