Play two characters in the bustling underworld of Aftervale: Skully, an enchanted skeleton, as well as his feisty bat companion Imber. As Skul ..read more

We’re excited to announce the release date for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition. The beloved RPG will arrive on PS4 on (dramatic pause)…  …August 27, 2020! As the name implies, this is a remaster of the classic Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, which originally released in the West back in 2003. That means this is the first time the game will be available on PlayStation — and believe me, it’s been well worth the wait because this is far from a simple re-release.  The team has refined and improved the adventure, enhancing numerous elements and even adding entirely n ..read more

Hey PlayStation.Blog Readers! I’m glad to announce that my indie game Evan’s Remains is finally coming to PS4 on June 11. If you’re into tricky puzzles and story-heavy experiences full of mystery, feel free to give the game a look.

Here, making a living out of videogames is not something you usually hear people do. In fact, I wasn’t even aware it was possible before trying it myself. I did attempt making games in the pas ..read more

This has been the mission of the PlayStation brand for more than 25 years. A mission I have been a part of nearly since the beginning.  ..read more
