Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello, everyone! This is Baiyon, Creative Director and multimedia artist at Kyoto-based indie game studio, Q-Games. On behalf of the team, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you.

During State of Play, we officially announced our latest title, Dreams of Another! This newest addition to the PixelJunk series is coming to PS5 and PS VR2. It’s also the first game where I’ve directed all aspects including; concept, story, visuals and of course the soundtrack creation. Today, I’m excited to introduce the game through our debut trailer and highlight what makes this title so unique.

New PixelJunk adventure, Dreams of Another, revealed for PS5 and PS VR2, out 2025

A philosophical and allegorical gaming experience where shooting creates rather than destroys

Dreams of Another is a third-person exploration-action game built around the philosophical theme, “no creation without destruction.” Rather than destroying objects by shooting—as in traditional shooting games—here, your shots materialize and create the world. This unconventional mechanic offers a gameplay experience that challenges the norms of the genre and invites players into a whole new dimension.

As a developer, I’ve long been interested in finding a new perspective on third-person shooting games. Could we create a game that explores the beauty of life and creation in the context of destruction? This question inspired Dreams of Another.

A dreamlike world brought to life by point cloud technology

The world of Dreams of Another is crafted using cutting-edge point cloud technology, creating an ethereal, impressionistic dreamscape. Existing in an abstracted state, made up of countless particles, this visually stunning environment reacts t

Welcome to the world of MindsEye! We’re proud to give you a first look at our gameplay and cinematic trailers, both unveiled during State of Play. 

MindsEye launches Summer 2025 on PS5, debuts new gameplay and cinematic trailers

MindsEye is our narrative-driven, single-player action-adventure thriller set in the not-too-distant future, in the fictional desert city of Redrock, where artificial intelligence and human greed collide to bring Earth to the precipice of collapse.

MindsEye launches Summer 2025 on PS5, debuts new gameplay and cinematic trailers

It’s a compelling story, with strategic combat, high-octane driving, and endless entertainment. Our team at Build A Rocket Boy has worked passionately to create a game that will deliver players an exceptional experience this year.

Introducing Jacob Diaz

At the heart of MindsEye is Jacob Diaz, a former soldier who finds himself haunted by flashbacks of a covert mission that changed his life forever. Fitted with the mysterious neural implant, known as the MindsEye, Jacob is plagued by fragmented memories and is desperate to uncover the truth about his past.

Jacob arrives in Redrock hoping to discover more about the company responsible for creating his implant. His quest for answers starts as a personal journey, but it quickly evolves into something much larger. Jacob isn’t the only one searching for the truth – and the forces working in the shadows may be more powerful and dangerous than he ever imagined.

Announcing Saros, the next game from Housemarque coming 2026

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Today we are very proud to announce that Saros is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026. 

Saros is the ultimate evolution of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience.

Please watch our Cinematic Announce trailer here to see what’s next from us.

Announcing Saros, the next game from Housemarque coming 2026

After Returnal we knew we had created something special and award-winning, but we also knew we wanted Returnal to stand on its own. With this in mind, we decided to create a new IP which evolves our deep third-person action and mysterious storytelling.

Saros is an action game with the haunting story of a lost off-world colony on Carcosa under an ominous eclipse. You play as Arjun Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. Our goal is to create an emotional and powerful character study that explores the cost it takes to create a new future.

Arjun is performed by Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher). Rahul is truly bringing Arjun to life in a stunning performance. He has been a brilliant collaborator to tell our story and champion for the game. He is also not alone on Carcosa, and we will reveal more of our fantastic ensemble npc cast and story information ahead.

A key gameplay distinction between Saros and Returnal is permanent resources and progression making every death valuable. After every death you will face a changed world, but in Saros you will be able to choose and permanently upgrade your loadout from an evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades to “come back stronger” to overcome the challenges you face on Carcosa.

We cannot wait to share more about our gameplay, art, audio, music, technology, story, how we push the PS5 console hardware and more from everyone working on Saros. 

Expect our first look at extended gameplay later this year.

Saros is the next single-player action game from Housemarque and our amazing collaborators.

This is a dream project made by a dream team.

Thanks for reading!

Unveiling Tides of Annihilation: a new PS5 action-adventure inspired by Arthurian legends

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Greetings, PlayStation fans!

Here at Eclipse Glow Studio, we’re thrilled to finally introduce Tides of Annihilation, our PS5 action-adventure game that thrusts you into a shattered, mystical London.

Unveiling Tides of Annihilation: a new PS5 action-adventure inspired by Arthurian legends

Tides of Annihilation was inspired by a straightforward idea: to capture the thrill of fighting alongside trusted allies in a single-player gaming experience. To that end, we’ve created an innovative combat system inspired by the ideals of courage, loyalty, and honor.

Tides of Annihilation features intuitive co-op combat in a single-player experience

Players will take on the role of Gwendolyn, who wields the power of a mysterious gray fog that can manifest two spectral knights at her side. Each knight has a distinct combat role. Whether it’s charging into battle, defending against attacks, or unleashing devastating combos, players will need to strategically choose which knights to summon based on their preferred gameplay style and the challenges they face.  

The interplay between Gwendolyn and the knights creates a dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply engaging combat experience. It’s a system that our team (veterans from top game studios) fell in love with during internal playtests.

Gwendolyn and one spectral knight leap into the air to strike an armoured foe below, while a second knight attacks the foe from the ground.Gwendolyn and two spectral knights face off against an armoured foe.

A broken London beckons

Our game world reimagines London as a sprawling battleground where modern ruins coexist with echoes of a medieval past. Imagine the city as a giant tree, its branches representing iconic districts and landmarks—each twisted and transformed by the otherworldly invaders.  

You’ll traverse two distinct versions of this in-between world:

  • Modern London: Familiar landmarks stand scarred by the supernatural invasion, offering a haunting glimpse of what once was.  
  • Medieval Fantasy Realm: Arthurian inf

Metal Eden is a sci-fi adrenaline rush FPS coming to PS5 May 6

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello everyone! We are very happy to be in the latest State of Play announcing to the world that Metal Eden, an adrenaline rush sci-fi FPS, will be releasing on PS5 May 6, 2025.  

Metal Eden is a sci-fi adrenaline rush FPS coming to PS5 May 6

Before we dive deeper into the gameplay, let’s introduce you to the world of Metal Eden.  

First, a little bit of context. In the future, humanity ventures among the stars. To survive the journey to new star systems, humanity created the Cores. Each Core is a system capable of storing human data, preserving a digital record of a human psyche and rebuilding it upon reaching its destination. One such destination is Moebius, an artificial city built by corporations to extract precious minerals from the planet Vulcan. You are Aska, an android created by one of the city’s founders. Nexus, your creator, has one goal for you: Follow orders, and maybe you will be able to save the inanimate colonists trapped in the Citadel.

One of the most unique gameplay mechanics in Metal Eden is Core Ripping. This feature enhances the combat experience by adding a strategic layer to how players engage with enemies. In this post, we’ll delve into how you can master this ability to dominate your foes and make the most of Aska’s powerful skills. 

Today’s reveal trailer shows that, equipped with the Multitool, Aska can use its Gravity Beam to rip Cores out of enemies’ bodies. Once grabbed, you can throw their Core at your enemies, creating an explosion. Brutal Core Ripping for quick and effective enemy disposal! Alternatively, Aska can consume the core. Consuming a core offers different advantages depending on your choices throughout the game – Like empowering your melee attacks, mobility or survivability. We will share more information about this in the future.

While exploring Moebius you will stumble upon drones. When hacked they will provide a Body Module, which ASKA can use to empower her Core, make her capabilities even stronger and provide her with potent options to turn the tide of battle. However, it requires precision, timing, and understanding of when and how to use Body Modules effectively. This game-changing progression system can be used to tailor your experience as you explore Moebius. 

Before ripping a Core, you need to ensure that your Core Ripping ability is fully charged. You can monitor this by checking the meter located at the bottom middle of your Heads-Up Display (HUD). Once it’s charged, you’re ready to make your move: 

Find an un-armored enemy: Core Ripping can only be executed on un-armored enemies, destroy the enemies’ armor u

Apex Legends: Takeover launches February 11 with creator-made challenges and items

Game Ace Pro 0 0

We live to fight, Legends. This season we’re showing that the community rules all as some of your favorite creators are taking over content and competition. These Creator Commissioners will create challenges based on their own Apex experiences, with fresh and unique items available to earn. Gear up with Arsenals, new shops stocked with everything you need to hit the battlefield immediately. All of this, plus the addition of Legend updates and bold meta changes, we’ve planned quite the party this season. But that’s not all we’re celebrating:  our Anniversary Event kicks off along with the new season with even more community created content and the debut of the Mythic R-301. Apex Legends: Takeover launches on February 11. 

Creator Commissioners

Four different Creator Commissioners will take the reins for two weeks each, along with their own challenges to conquer, new and returning fan-favorite modes, and fresh rewards. On week one, work with other players to complete Community challenges and ultimately determine how many Apex Packs will be up for grabs the following week. 

On week two, it’s time to really earn those rewards. Work through five individual challenges to unlock a creator-selected Legendary weapon skin and the Apex Packs you chased in the first week. Participating in week one doesn’t automatically earn you rewards in week two, so you’ll want to jump into matches in the second week too. 

Creator Commissioners and their Legendary choices:

February 25 – March 10, 2025: Ninjayla
Legendary skin: Wingman’s Death Ray

March 11 – 24, 2025: Oraxe
Legendary skin: Kraber’s The Pioneer

April 1-14, 2025: Apryze
Legendary skin: Mastiff’s Bone Breaker

April 15 – 28, 2025: Kaminari Kyupi
Legendary skin: Mastiff’s Tombstick

Arsenals

This new addition to Battle Royale provides easy and consistent access to weapons and ammo of your choice. Stations will be located across all POIs on every map with fixed locations, but with random ammo types per match.

Arsenals will also provide relevant ammo and the ability to enhance weapons. You can enhance one weapon per Arsenal and that weapon must match the Arsenal’s ammo type. Doing so will grant an upgraded attachment and provide an optic if the weapon is missing one. When bins reset, so too do Arsenals—giving you the ability to upgrade again with higher potency. The amount of ammo also significantly increases after a reset.

Meta changes

Everything changes this season with fresh meta updates that you’ll want to check out ASAP. Most notably, all weapon classes are getting adjusted to feel more competitive with Assault Rifles. Be aware that the time-to-kill has been decreased, not only due to these weapon adjustments, but also thanks to updates to Armor, Helmets, and headshot multipliers. Legends also get some nifty new updates: the Assault class is getting handy new perks, and both Ash and Ballistic are getting some special attention. We’ve also made some adjustments to r
