We’re proud to share that the long-awaited second chapter in the Horizon series is out tonight!  

It’s been an incredible journey since we first revealed the world of Horizon to you all. Over the years, we’ve been deeply moved to see the impact Aloy and her story have had on you, and we thank our ever-growing community for expressing their love and joy for Horizon Zero Dawn, and their desire to journey back into the Wilds.  

Throughout the past five years, our team has been expanding on this beloved world and has created a new story teeming with enthralling characters, devastating machines, mesmerizing environments, and action-packed adventures. We were thrilled to see the reaction following our gone gold announcement, and have been counting down the days until you could all join Aloy on her quest into the mysterious Forbidden West. 

Six months after the events of Horizon Zero Dawn, Earth’s biosphere is heading towards collapse. A mysterious red blight strangles the land, while massive storms rage in the skies above. Aloy must venture into the Forbidden West to find a way to stop the destruction, all the while grappling with the legacy of the ancient past and shouldering the burden of healing the world. Out in the frontier, she will confront new and deadly threats: dangerous and awe-inspiring machines, Regalla and her machine-riding rebels, Sylens’ machinations, and much more. To survive, she must learn to rely on companions both new and familiar, and together they will uncover a secret that will change their world forever. 

Take a look at the Horizon Forbidden West accolades trailer:

I’d like to thank all of the extraordinary people behind Horizon Forbidden West, the exceptional team at Guerrilla, our talented cast and crew, the wonderfully supportive people at Pla

Find your Fortune on the Fortnite Island with Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer from the Uncharted Series

Game Ace Pro 0 0

In celebration of the release of Sony Pictures’ Uncharted film, and based on the hit PlayStation franchise from Naughty Dog, Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer are bringing their adventures into Fortnite!


At Naughty Dog, we’ve collectively invested a ridiculous number of hours into Fortnite and personally, I account for a disproportionate number of those (go team Reckless Abandon!). Seeing our Uncharted characters come to life on the Island is incredibly thrilling. This is quite the power duo to go after that Victory Royale with! Fans are going to love jumping headfirst into danger with Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer. See you on the Island!

Chart the Island with Drake’s Maps

It’s not going to be easy, you know.. Nothing worthwhile is”

Beginning February 18 at 7 AM PT / 3pm GMT and until the end of Chapter 3 Season 1, find Drake’s Maps to get a leg up on the other treasure hunters who roam the Fortnite Island. Wield your trusty pickaxe at the marked location to dig up treasure ripe for the taking.

Plot Your Course with Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer

“There are places out there you can’t find on any map. They’re not gone, they’re just lost” 

Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer haven’t explored an Island like this before… but this shouldn’t be an issue for exceptional treasure hunters such as these two.

Enter the neon-drenched world of Anno: Mutationem on March 17

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Dear friends, pixel-lovers, and neon-thrillseekers, we’re excited to bring you an update and an exciting new trailer today. Anno: Mutationem launches March 17 on PS5 and PS4, and it’s available to pre-order at PS Store now.

In this post, we’ll focus on a few snippets from the trailer and let you know our main character Ann Flores will be up to this March.

Enter the neon-drenched world of Anno: Mutationem on March 17

Special thanks to @Kuvshinov_Ilya, who is an amazing animator and created the for Anno: Mutationem key art at the top of this article.

Taking references from classics like Ghost in the Shell, we go in blasting with the shady, neon-drenched city of Noctis, full of cyborg entertainers, hologram V-tuber performances, and a sky that is composed of infinite heights and future cityscapes. 

We also visit the European-style small streets of Margarita where Ann’s sister Nakamura is running the family business. You can even make an extra buck moonlighting there as a bartender. Shaken, not stirred, and full of pixels, please.

From cool scenes to swanky sartorial options. Battle suits are awesome, but variety is the spice of life for our hero Ann (what if you want to relax at home in a sporty outfit?) 

There will be a bunch of costume options for Ann, ranging from a bartending outfit, casual sport outfit, or even an elegant black dress. The latter outfit is picked out by Ann’s hyper-hacker buddy, Ayane, as part of the main quest line (though it may not quite be Ann’s first choice). Get ready to dress to impress and dance

Customize your Kaiju in Dawn of the Monsters

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hi, this is Alex Rushdy of 13AM Games! I’m creative director on Dawn of the Monsters, an upcoming side-scrolling beat-‘em-up where you can play as monsters, a robot, or a superhuman to defend Earth against the oncoming Nephilim threat.

You will have a variety of tools in your arsenal. Including environmental weapons, special pickups, Health Upgrades and, most importantly, the power to modify your character’s DNA (and thus, their abilities) with DNA Augments. Here we’re going to take a closer look at these and their vital role in the game.

What are DNA Augments?

Augments are equipable upgrades that increase a character’s attributes and give them special perks/abilities. Augments can be equipped in the main menu under Research and Development or in the character select screen. 

You can equip three Augments on any character, and you can even use the same Augment on different characters while in co-op multiplayer.

Attributes

There are seven attributes, which are divided into primary and secondary groups. 

The primary attributes are:

  • Attack – Increases damage on all attacks
  • Defense – Reduces damage taken

The secondary attributes are:

  • Speed – Increases movement speed  
  • Critical chance – Increases chance to critically hit
  • Critical damage – Increases critical hit damage
  • Rage generation – Increases rage generation from basic attacks and taking damage.
  • Vampirism – Increases the amount of health gained by attacks

Each Augment has a total of four attributes. The primary attributes on the left are always present in the Augment. The secondary attributes on the right, however, are chosen randomly Augment to Augment.

Perks

A perk is a unique trait or ability that is the main focus of any given Augment. These are always positive, but can sometimes have a drawback to the power it grants you. For example, Reckless is an Augment perk that increases your attack but also reduces your defense.

 A perk can either be passive (constantly “on”), or it can require a certain condition

Bringing Uncharted to the Big Screen

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Uncharted is rolling out in theaters across the globe this week, marking Nathan Drake’s big screen debut. The entire PlayStation Productions team is thrilled to see Uncharted brought to life for movie theater audiences around the world.

Our goal with creating PlayStation Productions was to introduce our unforgettable stories, characters, and worlds to new audiences, by bringing together creators with a passion and respect for the legacy of our gaming IP. So when Sony invited me to be a part of the second instalment of their Creator to Creator series, alongside Naughty Dog and the visionaries behind the Uncharted film, I jumped at the chance. 

I sat down with Naughty Dog Co-President Neil Druckmann, Uncharted movie star Tom Holland and director Ruben Fleischer to discuss bringing one of PlayStation’s most beloved heroes to the silver screen. During our chat, we covered moments from the games that directly inspired the movie, and some of the similarities between Uncharted’s game and film process. I was even surprised to learn that Tom and Neil have a shared gaming history! 

Watch our full conversation here for a treasure trove of insights into the making of Uncharted:

A Musical Story launches on PS4 and PS5 March 2

Game Ace Pro 0 0

A Musical Story is a new kind of musical experience. As its name suggests, it’s a narrative musical game, and it’s the debut release from our French studio Glee-Cheese Studio. Today, I’m very happy to announce that the game will be available to download on PS4 and PS5 from March 2. For now, please let me tell you more about how we created this unique experience.

A Musical Story launches on PS4 and PS5 March 2

In A Musical Story, you play music to unlock memories. Our character, Gabriel, is in a hospital bed, badly injured. You will dive into his memories through music. Each time you succeed in playing a musical sequence correctly, you unlock a fragment of Gabriel’s memory. 

Set in the 70s, the story focuses on the life of a band that sets its sights on playing the mythical Pinewood Festival. I d

No Man’s Sky Sentinel Update out today for PS4, PS5 and PS VR

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello, we are starting off 2022 as we mean to continue! We are pleased to announce that the first update of the year is available to download for free today for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation VR players. It’s called No Man’s Sky Sentinel.

No Man’s Sky Sentinel Update out today for PS4, PS5 and PS VR

The Sentinel update brings an overhaul of the combat systems in game and enemies you meet, to create something much more challenging and exciting. No Man’s Sky is a game about exploration, but our universe has always been one filled with hazards and danger. Sentinels police the planets you explore, and have long been an element of the game we wanted to make more interesting, deep, and fun – whilst also allowing players to defeat and overcome them in a more meaningful way.

Fortunately this update comes with a huge array of combat improvements and enhancements for the battle-scarred Traveller. You have access to new weapons and upgrades, like the high-energy Neutron Cannon, an active camo cloaking device, and a new electrifying stun grenade. You can even install an AI in your own Minotaur Exomech and have it protect you in combat.

Sentinels have become more formidable too. You’ll need to fight against new elite classes of drone – including heavies, summoners and repair units – and even against their own fearsome Hardframe Exomech. Sentinels now deploy their own mobile energy shields, and have access to new weaponry, such as terrain-destroying grenades and a plasma-powered flamethrower. And for the brave, the locations of mysterious Sentinel PIllars have been made known, with exclusive rewards and mysterious stories awaiting those who would breach its robotic archive.

With the Sentinel update, players will learn about the lore of how Sentinels came into being. As you work through a substantial chain of new story-driven missions, you’ll have the chance to re-programme and adopt
