We’re now just about four months out before Resident Evil Requiem arrives on February 27, and to celebrate, we’ve released a Road to Requiem video celebrating the history of the series, and opened pre-orders.

Resident Evil Requiem Digital Deluxe Edition and pre-order details

Plus, there’s a cool pre-order bonus featuring Grace’s Costume: Apocalypse.

We also have a Deluxe Edition packed with extra content like 5 costumes including Grace’s Costume: Dimitrescu, 4 weapon skins, 2 screen filters, 2 charms, an audio pack, and additional files to find in-game.

In Resident Evil Requiem, you’ll meet Grace Ashcroft, a new protagonist for the Resident Evil series. As an FBI agent, she possesses a sharp analytical mind that serves her well, yet she suddenly finds herself thrust into an extraordinary situation.

You’ll also experience the series’ classic survival horror through combat, investigations, puzzles, and resource management. Gameplay allows you to freely switch between first and third-person views to face the horrors in a way that suits your playstyle. Even if you haven’t played a Resident Evil game before, you can jump right in, though long-time fans will notice plenty of familiar touches through the game.

And on PlayStation 5, you’ll find yet another layer of immersion while playing thanks to the unique features of the DualSense controller such as its haptics and adaptive triggers.

A Resident Evil series history

To coincide with the start of Resident Evil Requiem pre-orders, we thought it fitting to talk a little about the history that Resident Evil has had with PlayStation. Mentioning everything would turn this blog post into a novel, because it’s quite lengthy. 

So instead let me touch upon some key moments. It starts from the way beginning almost three decades ago when the original Resident Evil was released on PlayStation in 1996. At the time it became one of PlayStation’s most popular games ever! It featured Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine searching for their missing teammates, but they end up stumbling across an abandoned mansion. Things went wrong. Zombies arrived. Resident Evil made its namesake.

The next entries Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 were also released initially on PlayStation in 1998 and 1999 respectively and brought the action directly to Raccoon City from the eyes of Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine.

I grew up on arcade sports games that were simple, fun, and endlessly replayable — the kind you played with your friends for hours, laughing, competing, and discovering new ways to win. They weren’t about realism; they were about feel. That heartbeat of accessible, joyful sports gaming has guided me my entire career.

I spent 20 years working on some of the most influential sports games and franchises of all time. Now, with NBA The Run, I’ve come full circle — building the kind of game I’ve always wanted to play: fast, stylish, and social, made for both casual and hardcore players alike.

When Scott Probst (PBP Founder and CEO) and I first discussed the concept for this game, we talked about the idea of bringing players together through the love of sport – creating experiences that players will remember forever.

That conversation became the foundation of Play By Play Studios, and ultimately, NBA The Run.

Loulan: The Cursed Sand is an action RPG set along the ancient Silk Road in the Western Regions of China. You play as the Cursed Sand, a skeletal warrior wielding the power of sand and sets out to explore the lost kingdom of Loulan, battle mighty foes, and search for his beloved princess.

Inspired by the archaeological discovery of the “Xiaohe Princess,” the story follows the Cursed Sand, a royal guard resurrected after death, as he embarks on a tragic journey to find the lost Princess of Loulan.

For the protagonist, we drew inspiration from the Loulan mummies and the iconic desert sand of the Western Regions, creating a dual-form warrior:

In Sand Form, golden sand wraps his body — a balanced fighter who wields the power of sand.

Today’s announcement is one I’ll never forget: Halo is coming to PlayStation. For nearly 25 years, Halo has offered players an epic sci-fi universe to explore, unforgettable characters to meet, and exhilarating gameplay to experience together. From large-scale battles to friendships formed over late-night co-op sessions, Halo has always been more than just a game – it’s about the players who’ve made it part of their lives.  From the beginning, we wanted to build a world with stories and experiences that bring people together. And now, for the first time, PS5 players will get to be part of that journey too.

Read more Ghost of Yōtei – tech deep dive Ghost of Yōtei – tech deep dive Game Ace Pro / Thursday, October 23, 2025 0 0 Ghost of Yōtei has been a labor of love for Sucker Punch, and we’re happy to have it out in the world for everyone to play. Now that players have gotten a taste of the game, we thought this was a good opportunity to talk a little bit about the technology that helped get us here. Coming off of what we achieved with Ghost of Tsushima, the project vision for Ghost of Yōtei put a stronger emphasis on a player’s sense of freedom in an untamed wilderness. This meant striving for less intrusive ways to guide players, beautiful environments with longer sightlines, more flexible weapon combat, memorable characters with personality, and emotional story moments. Trying to do all this while maintaining a good frame rate is clearly a challenge. So, let’s dig into a few aspects of the technology we used to create Ghost of Yōtei! Wandering a wild world In prototyping our vision for free exploration, we found it most effective if players could gaze across a beautiful landscape and follow their curiosity to find the game. From a technical perspective, landing that feeling required longer sight lines, meaning better rendering for grass, terrain and mountains into the distance. We improved the appearance of distant mountains by baking models and detailed terrain materials into textures that we could display at higher detail. We also doubled the amount of grass and renderable items our GPU compute renderer is allowed to produce. In this shot, the distant mountains with over one million trees, rocks, and bushes are culled down to about sixty thousand individual items that we render to generate our G-buffers to build the final image. We use procedural assisted authoring techniques and lean heavily on GPU compute to process all of these instances efficiently without CPU involvement. This involves sequences of compute jobs to perform occlusion culling, memory allocation, fill out draw records before we readback that information on the CPU to stitch into the final command lists for the frame. Here’s an animation of a similar shot with all GPU drawn geometry animating into place to give you a sense of the scale involved. We use these techniques for runtime generated data as well like our broad fields of flowers, and even occasionally for things like ropes and chains. To give each area of the world a unique flavor, we built interaction systems that help emphasize their themes. Much of the world has grass or small plants, and in addition to deforming with wind and character motion, we added a system that renders weapon sweeps into a “cut buffer.” This buffer is then sampled by cuttable geometry and is used to spawn particles with the geometry above the cut. This allows Atsu to cut most grass, flowers and small plants in the game. RSS Load next 10 article(s) (2748 left)Loading...
