Final Fantasy Dissidia, a fighting game that originally debuted on the PSP and has since had an arcade release in Japan, is finally getting ported to the PS4. Called Final Fantasy Dissidia NT, this 3 VS 3 free roaming fighting game is coming to PS4 early next year.
Developed by Team Ninja, the Arcade version was originally released in Japan in late 2015 and features over 22 characters from across the Final Fantasy Series. Expect to see more about this release during E3.
In a move out of left field, Accolade the long dormant development studio, has announced that they are bringing back Bubsy. Called Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, it is an all new platforming game.
The last Bubsy game, Bubsy 3d, was released in 1996, and the development studio Accolade was closed down in 2000. So this should make for an interesting ride.
Bubsy: The Woolies Strikes back is being developed for PS4 and PC by Black Forest Games, the studio behind the most recent revival of the Giana Sisters games.
Well today Gearbox and publisher 2K announced that Battleborn is getting a free trial, giving the people Battleborn’s multiplayer for free. They claim that you can play all of the multiplayer without any limits or level caps.
In this new free version, they are releasing a rotating group of 6 heroes out of the possible 30 they offer, as well as gameplay modes and maps. When you play each character, that progress will be saved, even if that character is no longer playable, so that the next time they are, that will all be there still.
Luckily, they are also grouping new players together, so all the n00bs don’t get slaughtered by the veteran players. Once you reach rank 20, then you will move out of the Novice Queue and can play with everyone else
The free trial goes into affect starting today, worldwide for Xbox One and PC, and North America only for PS4, but will become available in Europe and Japan for those PS4 users starting June 13.
For more details about how this will work you can head over to Gearbox

Earlier this week, Blizzard announced a new character coming soon to Heroes of the Storm. The Diablo character Malthael, will be the next character to show up in Blizzard’s MOBA. It looks like he will be a melee assassin. If you want all the info on abilities and what not, head over to Blizzard’s Website
No release date has yet been announced for this hero, but typically it doesn’t take too long from announcement to release for Blizzard.
Announced earlier today from Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games, Extinction is a fast-paced, action game coming out early 2018 for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.
As you can see in this first Cinematic trailer above, the player will be fighting massive 150-foot-tall ogres along with armies of other smaller creatures. Apparently, as shown in the trailer above, being able to dismember and disarm your opponent is not just a cool cinematic touch, but will actually be something that characters will need to do in order to weaken and finally defeat enemies.
They are touting a whole list of features, a few of which are as follow:
Deep Story Campaign. Protect the human population across an abundant story campaign, rescuing as many civilians as possible and taking down brutal opponents.
Dynamic Side Missions. Complete numerous side missions with various objectives, earning upgrades to aid you in your campaign.
Skill-Based Combat. Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to perform devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat maneuvers to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.
Interactive Environment. Move freely around a fully destructible environment, and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.
Innumerable Battle Scenarios. Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.
Custom Battles. Create custom battlegrounds with varied objectives, and challenge players online to compete for the top score.
Extinction Mode. Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.
Extinction sounds like it has the potential to be something special and we can’t wait to see them release more info at E3 in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for more info as we receive it.
Extinction will be coming early 2018 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
A leak from earlier today from the Le Verità dell’Animus Facebook fan page (Update: it appears they have taken down the photo) looks like it may have revealed the name of the protagonist in the new upcoming Assassins Creed game. In the image, shown above, we see that he is refered to as Ba Yek and what appears to be Egyptian hieroglyphs above it. There has been much talk that the new Assassins Creed game may be set in Egypt, and this is looking to be helping those rumors.
To lend credit to this leak, Ubisoft’s Ashraf Ismail, who was the director on Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, earlier today on Twitter appeared to reference the leak by saying “Nice t-shirt.”
Ubisoft took last year off from Assassins Creed, but stated earlier this year in an earning call that there would be another one coming this fiscal year. So far that is all that has been released, but you can be sure when they do, we will let you guys know.

Announced as a PC exclusive almost two years ago, Lawbreakers; a competitive multiplayer shooter, from Cliff Bleszinski and Boss Key Studio’s has now officially been announced that it will also be coming to PS4.
Lawbreakers will be coming out later this year, as a digital-only title on PC and PS4 with a starting price of $29.99. They are not releasing a “seasons pass” and there will be no “pay to win” mechanics. That base $30 will entitle players to all future “content upgrades” for free. That includes things like new characters, maps, and modes, all of which will be available to the entire player base. Among other things, this has the benefit of not harming matchmaking by splitting up players, which Bleszinski believes is particularly crucial for a skill-based game.
Cliff also revealed during a round table interview that it will be playing at 60FPS on PS4. He also stated that it would not be coming as a cross-play title across PC and PS4 as “cross-play is dumb,” so PC vs PC and PS4 vs PS4, no PC vs PS4.
You can take a look at the trailer announcing the PS4 version of Lawbreakers here
No release date has yet been given for the PC or PS4 version of LawBreakers yet, but the PC is currently in Closed Beta, and Bleszinksi did say there would be at least one PS4 beta upcoming. We will fill you in when we know more.
