PlayStation Blog Recap

Okay, so the last seven days might not have quite matched the week prior for giant headlines. However, that’s not to say the world of PlayStation has been in any way sleepy since our 20th February PlayStation 4 blow-out. Au contraire.

Highlights this week included an exciting update on Quantic Dream‘s tantalising PlayStation 3 adventure Beyond: Two Souls, a brand new single player trailer for God of War: Ascension (I’ve just got hold of the finished game – you’re in for a treat), news on Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX for PS3, more indie goodness for PS Vita and yet another treat for our loyal PS Plus members.

We’ve also had more PlayStation 4 coverage – see our interviews with Shuhei Yoshida and Scott Rohde, and Jim Ryan and Michael Denny for some fascinating insight into our brand new system.

See you back here next week for a closer look at Killzone: Mercenary, as well as more on God of War in the run up to launch. Enjoy your Sunday, and if you’ve got any PS-related questions, as usual, please do fire away below.
