Inspired by the raw power of Wolverine and Insomniac’s Battle Reborn suit and claws.
Last month, the team at Insomniac Games and Marvel Games shared lots of new details and reveals at San Diego Comic-Con for Marvel’s Wolverine. Today, we’re giving a first look at the PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle, which features a PS5 Digital Edition that captures the raw ferocity of Wolverine alongside a matching DualSense wireless controller and a game code for Marvel’s Wolverine.
Inspired by Insomniac’s Battle Reborn suit and claws, the PS5 Digital Edition – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition Bundle will be available globally and channels Logan’s unmistakable intensity through a bold yellow finish. The design brings in Wolverine’s exposed claw marks and lets players peek under the hood of the PS5 Digital Edition and see what’s underneath. The DualSense wireless controller also features furious slashes inspired by his famous claws, giving players a striking way to bring the game into the palm of their hands.
The DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition will also be available for standalone purchase globally.
It was important for the team to capture the primal energy of Wolverine in this new look for the PS5 console, and it has been fantastic collaborating with Insomniac Games and Marvel Games on the design. They worked alongside Jock, the Scottish graphic artist who contributed to the key art for Marvel’s Wolverine and whose work across comics helped inspire the bold, graphic tone of this limited edition design:
“I wanted to show Wolverine at his fiercest for Marvel’s Wolverine Limited Edition PS5 Console bundle and accessories. I still draw all my artwork traditionally, so the opportunity to marry cutting-edge hardware with the energy and looseness of hand-drawn ink is incredibly exciting. I’m stunned by how well the console and accessories captured the raw energy of the drawing, bringing Wolverine to life in a completely unique way.” – Jock, Graphic Artist
“His [Jock] illustrative works have the energy and dynamics needed to capture the kinetic and violent nature of our hero. One whose primary interaction with the world is with unbreakable Adamantium claws. Jock’s illustrations are grounded and raw and perfectly personify Wolverine.” – Marcus Smith, Insomniac Games
If you already own a PS5 (model group – slim) or PS5 Pro console, you’ll be able to purchase PS5 and PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Yellow Limited Edition in limited quantities through select retailers. These console covers include covers for both PS5 consoles with disc drives, and consoles without disc drives.
SIE are also revealing another special PS5 Pro console cover design for players looking to channel another side of Wolverine. Inspired by the adamantium bonded to Logan’s skeleton and claws, the PS5 Pro Console Covers – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition feature the same dramatic claw-slashed details with a premium metallic finish that evoke Wolverine’s raw power and let players peer into the PS5 Pro console.
A matching DualSense Wireless Controller – Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition also features the same metallic finish and will be available for separate standalone purchase. You can purchase the Marvel’s Wolverine Adamantium Limited Edition PS5 Pro console covers and DualSense wireless controller design in limited quantities through select retailers.

Design and realize the city of your (favored Greek deity’s) dreams in all-new game from the creators of Pharaoh: A New Era
PARIS (Aug. 11, 2026) – Publisher Dotemu (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion) and developer Triskell Interactive (Pharaoh: A New Era) today released an in-depth gameplay overview for Theos: Cities of Myth, a new city building and management game arriving as a modern homage to the greatest city builders released in the aughts. The new trailer offers a divine first look at how you’ll create flourishing cities in tribute to one of seven Olympian Gods of Ancient Greece in Theos: Cities of Myth’s clever evolution of the genre, with gameplay refined by Triskell’s proven expertise for revitalizing the classic fun of city builders. Theos: Cities of Myth launches later this year on PC. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3002130/Theos_Cities_Of_Myth/)
As shown in today’s trailer, every city you build must begin with The Sanctuary, your God’s seat of power and the central hub your settlement will grow around. You’ll manage all aspects of your city: establishing supply and distribution chains, as well as appeasing residents to improve structures, falls under your control among other disciplines.
But Theos: Cities of Myth’s comprehensive refinements to genre conventions – like granting unprecedented control over guiding the walking units patrolling and aiding your city – resolve traditional pain points, while making the exciting challenge and vast depth of city builders approachable to newcomers and veterans alike. More details: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3002130?emclan=103582791475668344&emgid=713405247292178696
Fulfill the desires of mighty gods like Ares or Athena to earn blessings, boons or to draw renowned figures to your city, including famous philosophers like Socrates or Aristotle. Tend to your God’s desires even while fulfilling your citizens’ earthly needs for food, housing, culture and entertainment – divine wrath can turn the tides of even the most promising utopia.
Theos: Cities of Myth offers dozens of hours of fun across its adventures and richly malleable sandbox mode, all hosted within a gorgeously realized, mythologically inspired vision of ancient Greece. Pharaoh: A New Era’s acclaimed suite of building tools also returns in Theos: Cities of Myth, empowering even complete newcomers to the genre to intricately design a bustling haven, from awe-inspiring, majestic temples down to the individual walking paths residents wander.
New features distinct from Theos: Cities of Myth’s classical inspirations deepen its strategic challenge. Amass a vast army to keep your people safe from neighboring rivals – or to conquer them as your own in real-time battles. Build a quaint town into a prosperous, far-reaching trading empire brimming with resources. A well-designed city and appeased God will beckon bonus-granting legendary heroes to your colony, reinforcing your empire with powerful might.
Theos: Cities of Myth pairs an intuitive UI, the acclaimed suite of building tools realized in Pharaoh: A New Era, dynamic lighting and thoughtful design to enrich timeless city building fun with current day sensibilities. For more updates on Theos: Cities of Myth, be sure to follow @Dotemu on X.

About SPRAWL zero
A Y2K FPS Built on Classic Console DNA
SPRAWL Zero is a first-person shooter inspired by 2000s console FPS games. Both the aesthetics and design sensibility call back to the Golden Age where the genre evolved from shooting in corridors to building worlds.
A City on the Brink
You play as FIVE, a cybernetically enhanced supersoldier controlled by the Junta. Your directive is to eliminate SILAS, leader of the radical techno-religious group IMAGO-DEI. The city will plunge into chaos as all factions known and unknown grasp for the reins. Reconcile your truths or succumb to the SPRAWL.
Fight Smart, Not Just Fast
Combat in SPRAWL Zero is fast-paced but grounded. Enemy squads will communicate and coordinate to wrestle the advantage. Flanks, covering fire, and grenades will flush you out, creating dynamic firefights inspired by classics like F.E.A.R. and Halo.
In your hands, FIVE must outsmart and outmaneuver the opposition using any advantage possible. Catch their bullets and throw them right back with the Gravity Shield, or bend your shots midair with Bullet-Time for inhuman precision. A massive arsenal of weapons and FIVE’s cybernetics are your tools of destruction.

Oberhaching, Germany, August 11, 2026 – 石の上にも三年. This Japanese proverb (pronounced ‚Ishi no ue ni mo sannen‘) translates roughly as “Three Years on a Stone” and encapsulates the journey of Sengoku Dynasty, the open world survival RPG from developer Superkami and German publisher Toplitz Productions, almost perfectly.
Committed to the process and the original vision, Sengoku Dynasty experienced plenty of meaningful updates as well as its normal amount of hardship that needed to be overcome since its release on PC in Early Access three years ago on August 10, 2023. A multitude of gameplay systems were added since. Bugs were fixed and taking the invaluable community feedback on board, quality-of-life enhancements were implemented that extended not only into version 1.0 and beyond, but also into the console versions.
Among the highlights of content additions, you can find the ‘Ikigai’ update which introduced fighting mechanics into the world of Sengoku Dynasty or ‘Kanata’, enhancing the world by adding a whole new island group with its distinct flora, fauna and new enemy types.
Over three years the development team built on the Early Access version as a strong foundation, changing and evolving Sengoku Dynasty to the game you can experience today, a home to a dedicated and thriving community every day.
To celebrate and comemmorate this moment, Superkami will get you into the Anniversary spirit with the free ‘Kagura’ update to version 1.2.3.0. Not only will you be able to wield the legendary Kintsugi weapon set, but you will be able to build house shrines and place spiritual decorations like a Taiko Drum (of course with drumsticks), scrolls, a Varja bell and much more. And you can celebrate three years of Sengoku Dynasty with the new Shakuhachi flute usable in emotes.
This will be followed by the free update 1.2.4.0., a decoration pack, that will include new door models, a shield tower, various tableware, containers, a mochi station, more plants and a plethora of other placable items, among other things. The date for update 1.2.4.0 will be announced at a later date.
Sengoku Dynasty is available now on PC (via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store) and current-gen consoles (via PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. For more information head over to the respective store pages, where you can also find the Anniversary Edition (available on PC), giving you the full Sengoku Dynasty experience with the main game, the Sakura pack, the original soundtrack and more.
