Hello, PlayStation community! My name is Sam Eng, and I’m the sole developer of Skate Story, a game about a demon made of glass who needs to skate the Underworld and consume The Moon to fulfill the devil’s contract. Cool, right? I hope so, because today I wanted to share that Skate Story will be heading to PS5.

Skate through nine layers of hell and battle larger-than-life bosses as you attempt to free yourself from the devil’s contract that has been placed upon you. As the glass Skater’s story progresses, you’ll dive further into the depths of The Underworld (with help from the Subway system of course, just make sure you have your Millicard handy to get through the gates). You won’t be alone in your journey, as a whole cast of characters is rooting for you.

It has been quite the road leading up to release from when I first started sharing clips of the game publicly on social media five years ago. Today, I wanted to share some fresh gameplay of a few new areas the player will have the pleasure of perfecting.

As you skate through hell, you’ll master your board, trick over vicious demons, grind some ledges, and destroy bosses, all while accompanied by an atmospheric original 12-set soundtrack by Blood Cultures with supporting tracks from John Fio, creating a truly immersive environment.

Combat and boss battles

When demons from the Department of Death terrorize the Skater, sick tricks and fresh lines will be the only way out. Boss fights in particular, are intense skate sessions, each backed by a unique song the music of which you’ll need to keep up with. In the trailer above, you’ll catch a glimpse of just one of these boss encounters – as you face off against the Moon.

How do you take down a celestial body? You must skate. When the song comes on, stay in its sight line, keeping your momentum going by skating fast and popping tricks at the right time. The Skater’s tricks deal damage to the Moon. Switch up the tricks to keep it Fresh — doing the same old tricks or going too slow will go stale and deal less damage. You’ll need to have dealt enough before the song ends.

Flat and shatter into a million pieces when your soul stays stale, or burn through the stars and set them all on fire.

Characters

The Skater’s journey through the underworld runs across many unfortunate souls living in the underworld. From a forgetful frog to a pillowy demon

My name is Patrick, and I am the Art Director for Zockrates Laboratories, the indie studio currently developing Ruffy and the Riverside. Together with our publisher, Phiphen Games, we are proud to announce that Ruffy and the Riverside will be released on PlayStation 5 on June 26, 2025. We are happy to contribute to Playstation`s tradition of representing innovative and unique gameplay.

A platformer adventure with unique gameplay

Ruffy and the Riverside is a platformer adventure with truly unique gameplay. When Ruffy isn‘t jumping, running, skating, or gliding, he is using his unique Swap ability.  With the Swap, you can copy and paste textures to change the game world, solve puzzles, beat enemies, and eventually save the world. Just grab a texture and throw it somewhere else, and the world will change!

It is as easy as it sounds and has huge impacts: Transform water into ice to cross an ocean. Throw a climbing vine onto a waterfall, and you can climb up. With the Swap, you can exchange materials, symbols, the sun for the moon, and all colors. If you color birds the same color, they might end up as a couple. Apples are more yummy when they are red, and some bushes will drop coins if they have a golden look.

Of course, the Swap can help in combat, too. Why not freeze an enemy or catch him in flight by turning him into stone? The elements are on your side if you swap them wisely. Use your imagination and make it happen. It really feels magic to swap things.

An adventure full of quests and challenges

Ruffy and the Riverside is a living cartoon with many side quests, individual characters, and a ton of collectibles. So wherever you go, you can talk to townspeople and animals, pick up side quests, and look for treasures.

On his quest to bring back the six golden letters, Ruffy will travel to faraway regions, each with its own challenges. Ruffy has to unravel age-old mysteries, compete in skating contests, and summon sunken islands to the sea’s surface. Wherever you go, you will find new grounds to explore. You can even jump into walls and solve puzzles in 2D levels. And no worries, you won’t get lost, because you will never walk alone. Pip, the sassy bee, is always on your side and can carry you through the air. Sir Eddler, the adventurous mole, knows all the tricks, and Sily, the wise turtle, gives advice whenever you need it.

Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action side-scroller that blends platform-fighter precision gameplay with desperate, high-stakes encounters. Luca must master fluid movement, aerial juggles, and Rhem’s demon powers to survive vicious melee combat with the monsters of Sanzu City.

Corporate wasteland

When it was built, Sanzu City was meant to be the future—a self-contained utopia where people could work, live, and raise their kids to build a better world… working for the global megacorp Agradyne.

But three years ago, something escaped Agradyne’s deepest laboratories. And with it came a flood of horrors: demons seeking human host bodies to possess. Many of them lost control and twisted into grotesque, mutated beasts.

Agradyne abandoned Sanzu, sealing its survivors in a hellish maze of abandoned skyscrapers.

The monsters we make

Luca wakes in the ruins of Sanzu. Before the disaster, she was a lonely teenager growing up in this company town. Going to a high school run by a tech company seemed completely normal to her. Now, the only thing keeping her alive is Rhem, a powerful, bitter demon who escaped Agradyne’s clutches. Rhem agreed to possess Luca to save both of their lives. But all Rhem wants is to return home, so Luca has promised to help.

As Luca and Rhem search for answers, they learn what it means to take and lose control. They witness disturbing and tragic pairings of humans and demons, each reflecting the way people can bind, manipulate, and break one another.

They travel tethered together on a journey that will force Luca to confront the horrifying truths hiding behind her city’s friendly corporate face.

Gameplay features and systems

Luca’s arsenal of improvised melee weapons allows her to explore a variety of combat styles. She starts with simple kitchen knives, but can also beat down demons with a computer mouse, hockey stick…or even a guitar!

Hi everyone! I’m Matthijs, creative director and co-founder of Twirlbound, and we are thrilled to announce that our open-world fantasy action-adventure game, The Knightling, is coming to PlayStation 5 on August 28. We can’t wait to welcome you to the wondrous world of Clesseia, where you’ll take on the role of knight-in-training. When the realm’s great protector, Sir Lionstone goes missing, you must take up his mighty magic shield and traverse the fields and forests to search for him.

In our brand-new trailer, we put you in the ever-determined Knightling’s small but mighty boots, sliding, gliding, dashing, and bashing across Clesseia, including a never-before-seen region of the game we’re revealing for the very first time – the Cornered Bosk.

Play Video

The sprawling lands of Clesseia are known for many things: the bustling city center, full of activity and life; the great aqueduct, winding through the Outskirts to provide power and water to the people; the Great Barrier, which borders the Windtorn Fields, offering both protection and threat; and then there are the seldom-visited, secluded woods in the far corner of the realm known as the Cornered Bosk.

Where the Outskirts and Windtorn Fields are familiar and full of helpful allies, the Cornered Bosk is a curveball, conundrum, and enigma all wrapped into one. As our bold Knightling, you must follow the rumored path of your missing mentor Sir Lionstone, through this mysterious region, and there you will quickly find that nothing is quite what it seems.

Submerged in mystery

For the design of the Cornered Bosk, we were inspired by the element of water. We looked at real-world mangroves and how forests can not only survive but often thrive in very wet conditions. The environment is designed to feel like an underwater abyss, with flora, fauna, and small, ethereal jellyfish that could belong to the deepest of oceans but is floating through the air.

The region’s standout landmark is a giant whirlpool, rumbling loudly at the heart of the forest and slowly swallowing everything surrounding it. Through its many mirages and the surrounding Sinking Sanctuary’s angled slopes, the whirlpool lures you to its mesmerizing center. The abandoned crypt is full of formidable monsters and bandits that await you. There is only a fragment of what makes this a more treacherous region than any you have encountered before.

When Lunar debuted in North America in 1993, it was a standout in the emerging Western market for Japanese RPGs. Lunar featured detailed, animated cinematic cutscenes, plenty of voice acting, high-quality music, and–most importantly–an endearing story packed with engaging and memorable characters. While it wasn’t the first CD-ROM-based JRPG to hit the market, it was one that left a powerful impact on everyone who played it.

A sequel, two PlayStation remakes, a PSP outing and more further broadened the audience for Lunar. More than 30 years after the series’ debut, Lunar and Lunar 2 are coming back to the realm of PlayStation with the Lunar Remastered Collection. To give some insight into what makes the Lunar games special–and to stir fond memories among longtime fans–we talked to Matthias Pergams, Producer over at GungHo Online Entertainment America.

Silver Standard 

“LUNAR was one of the first JRPGs on the CD-ROM format, with animated cutscenes, in-game voice acting, and even an opening theme song,” Pergams explains. “The series gained a dedicated following both within and outside Japan, paving the way for the genre as a whole. It’s a work that has a unique historical significance.”

The original Lunar has been remade and re-released a few times for various platforms (along with Lunar 2, to a lesser degree), so we were curious as to why the PlayStation “Complete” versions of the two games were chosen as the base for the remasters. “Each version is different and possesses unique merits, so we actually struggled quite a bit with this question. Ultimately, the choice came down to which version we felt represented the series best. For us, it was the PlayStation version”. 

Howdy, Helldivers! Have you ever wanted to be a space cowboy, enforcing the fair laws of Super Earth on the edges of our galaxy, protecting our most remote colonies from undemocratic threats? Then step up, pardner, and claim your sheriff’s star with the new premium Warbond: Borderline Justice!

We’re heading out to the Wild West with the weapons this time. First up, let’s take a gander at the new R-6 Deadeye lever-action hunting rifle. You can look forward to killin’ time bullseying bugs and rounding up squids and looking cool while you do it.

But a lawman is nothing without his trusty sidearm. And instead of individual shots, the LAS-58 Talon “revolver” secondary is energy-based, meaning a slow and steady hand can keep on shooting without overheating. But if you need to bring the kind of heat that can’t be measured by degrees, the Talon can do it.

Another classic cowboy loadout item is the TED-63 Dynamite that comes with a variable timer and leaves an explosion that’s sure to straighten the curves, flatten the hills, and take down any roaming patrols among the willows.

Do you ever get a hankering to rise up above the herd and get a bird’s eye on the action? Could be that the LIFT-860 Hover Pack is just what you’re looking for–when the joint starts jumping, you can rise and hover for a little while and still aim or use ADS.

Helldivers are made out of muscle and blood and that’s why we have to keep you armored up. The GS-17 Frontier Marshal is a regulation standard medium Helldiver set, but it still manages to conjure up the look of hard living on the galactic frontier, hunting Bile Titans for sport.

Revealing itself like a hidden blade, Assassin’s Creed’s razor-sharp and refreshing combination of history, science fiction, and parkour-based action turned heads everywhere when it first emerged on our screens back in 2007. The result was a series rich in lore and unforgettable characters, spanning games, comic books, and even a Hollywood movie.

So with Assassin’s Creed Shadows sneaking up on its March 20 PlayStation 5 launch, here’s the perfect place to arm yourself with everything you need to know about the main strand of the series’ 13 titles.

Assassin’s Creed – 2007 – PlayStation 3 – Ubisoft

Introducing the world to 12th-century assassin Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad, the fresh-faced sandbox action stealth game presented the concept of the Animus, a machine which allows people to relive the genetic memories of their ancestors. In this case, Altaïr’s life during the Third Crusade of the Holy Land is seen through his unsuspecting 21st-century descendant, Desmond Miles, as a winding plot unravels across both timelines.

Assassin’s Creed set the tone for the genre for generations to follow, but most importantly, it was a pioneering leap forward for its even more popular sequel…

On PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (via backwards compatibility), the following three titles are available as part of Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection

Assassin’s Creed II – 2009 – PlayStation 3 and – 2016 – PlayStation 4 (Enhanced) – Ubisoft
