This is important.

Hunting prey more than a mile below the surface.

Here's what we know.

Sony included the PS5 launch of Palworld as one of its news items during Tuesday evening’s State of Play presentation, but it left out a detail. While the game has launched on PlayStation platforms in 68 countries and regions worldwide, Japan is not one of them. The official Japanese account for the game said on X, according to machine translation, that the release date in Japan “has not yet been decided,” without going into detail about the reason. It certainly seems like a reason could be the patent infringement lawsuit Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed against Palworld developer Pocketpair last week, but the tweet didn’t confirm things either way. The most recent statement about the issue from Pocketpair is still this one from...

Sony is launching shiny new “Chroma” console covers for the PlayStation 5 Slim that come in pearl, indigo, and teal. And if having an iridescent console isn’t eye-catching enough, you can also get new DualSense controllers to match. The Chroma console covers will cost $64.99 USD, while the DualSense controllers will cost $79.99. Sony is launching the Chroma pearl and indigo accessories on November 7th, followed by teal on January 23, 2025. The new colors look neat, but they’re quite intense — I’m not sure I’d want to swap out the sleek blue, red, or gray of the PS5 Slim for these. You’ll be able to preorder covers and controllers from the collection on October 3rd, with availability in the US, UK, France, Germany, Austria, Spain,...

So simple.

Sony has just revealed seven additional games that’ll get enhanced by its PS5 Pro, coming November 7th, on top of the games it previously revealed. New titles include Stellar Blade, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, F1 24, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, both Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. That means the whole confirmed lineup so far has 20 Enhanced games, including:

To close out Sony’s State of Play presentation, Sucker Punch debuted a first look at the next game in its award-winning Ghosts series. Dubbed Ghost of Yotei, players will inhabit a new female protagonist named Atsu, who wields a shamisen in addition to a samurai’s traditional sword. According to the trailer description, Atsu will travel the wilds around Mount Yotei accompanied by a mysterious wolf companion. Sucker Punch Studios, the developers behind the Sly Cooper and Infamous series, released Ghosts of Tsushima back in 2020. The game was praised for its quiet, contemplative moments as much as it’s Akira Kurosawa-style samurai action. Earlier this year, Sucker Punch released a PC port of Tsushima and confirmed that a movie based on the...

Sony is releasing a remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn. The company announced the news during its State of Play event on Tuesday and says the game will be available on PlayStation 5 and PC starting October 31st with “stunning new visuals and enhanced features.” Rumors about a potential Horizon Zero Dawn remaster first emerged in 2022, but several news outlets spotted an ESRB rating for the remaster on the PS5 and PC just last week. Launched in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn puts you in control of Aloy, a hunter who lives in a postapocalyptic world overrun by mechanical creatures. It tasks you with taking down enemies using your bow, spear, and a little bit of stealth. Sony brought Horizon Zero Dawn to PC in 2020 and later released an...

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver is one of those series of games that has always felt unjustly left behind to me, and at Sony’s State of Play today, it’s finally getting its due, at least a little. The two classic Crystal Dynamics games, which I enjoyed in their penultimate form on the Dreamcast, are getting a remaster courtesy of Aspyr Media. The remastered games will appear on December 10th on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC (Steam or Epic Games Store). The two Soul Reaver games were supernatural action puzzlers with a heavy Lovecraftian bent released first for the original PlayStation and Windows PCs in 1999, then for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. In them, you play Raziel, a jawless vampire who was brought back to life by an elder god....

Years after the infamous One More Day, Marvel editor Tom Brevoort still insists that the mainline Peter Parker will never put a spider-ring on it.

The current version of Google’s smartwatch isn’t repairable, but for the first time the company is figuring out how to fix that.

Microsoft is launching a new feature called “correction” that builds on the company’s efforts to combat AI inaccuracies. Customers using Microsoft Azure to power their AI systems can now use the capability to automatically detect and rewrite incorrect content in AI outputs. The correction feature is available in preview as part of the Azure AI Studio — a suite of safety tools designed to detect vulnerabilities, find “hallucinations,” and block malicious prompts. Once enabled, the correction system will scan and identify inaccuracies in AI output by comparing it with a customer’s source material. From there, it will highlight the mistake, provide information about why it’s incorrect, and rewrite the content in question — all “before the...
