After an exciting State of Play gameplay deep dive for Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yōtei, PlayStation Australia is thrilled to share a first look at the PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle, featuring a new intricate console design with a matching DualSense Wireless controller. 

These stunning designs capture Sucker Punch’s fictional depiction of Ezo (which is now known as Hokkaido), and the world that players will embark on to explore Atsu’s tale of vengeance – watch the full reveal trailer here.

Mt. Yōtei is an iconic location and has become a symbol for Hokkaido as well as Atsu herself, which is why there was a desire to reflect the beauty of the region and landscape by paying homage to two beautiful Japanese visual traditions. Fans will also love that both consoles feature a special maker’s seal engraved with PlayStation shapes on the back of the console’s top cover as well as on the DualSense Wireless controllers. 

The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle is inspired by the Japanese art form, kintsugi, a traditional process to repair broken ceramics with lacquer and gold. The design captures the essence and aesthetic of kintsugi, symbolising beauty in imperfection and mirroring Atsu’s own personal journey of healing and resilience amidst the adversities she’ll face along the way.

The bundle comes with a matching DualSense wireless controller, featuring a striking silhouette of Atsu on the DualSense touchpad.

The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Limited Edition Bundle includes a limited edition PS5 console with disc drive, matching DualSense wireless controller, and a digital copy of Ghost of Yōtei Standard Edition that includes pre-order content, featuring a unique in-game mask, as well as a set of seven PSN avatars featuring concept art of Atsu and each member of the Yōtei Six. Vertical Stand sold separately. 

If you already own a PS5 (model group – slim) or PS5 Pro console, there’s great news for you, too. You’ll be able to purchase Console Covers for PS5 (model group – slim) and PS5 Pro – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition – in limited quantities through select retailers. Both console covers feature the same kintsugi inspired designs and maker’s seal found on The PS5 Console – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition Bundle.

The DualSense Wireless Controller – Ghost of Yōtei Gold Limited Edition will also be available as a standalone purchase.

Tokyo, Japan – July 11, 2025 – Aniplex Inc. (President: Atsuhiro Iwakami) today announced the upcoming global release of Resident Evil Survival Unit, a brand-new mobile strategy game co-developed with JOYCITY Corporation (CEO: Seong Won Cho), based in South Korea.

During today’s online showcase, Aniplex and JOYCITY revealed the first in-depth look at the game and officially opened pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play.

A New Strategic Take on the Resident Evil Universe

Resident Evil Survival Unit is a mobile strategy game based on Capcom’s globally renowned Resident Evil video game series. Co-developed by Aniplex and JOYCITY, the game offers a fresh, mobile-first gameplay experience that diverges from the traditional survival horror format of the main series.

Set in a parallel universe, the game presents an original storyline that builds upon the Resident Evil world while diverging from the original series. Players will enjoy a deep, immersive strategy experience that blends real-time decision-making with the thrill of survival.

A Global Multiplayer Experience

Designed for a worldwide audience, Resident Evil Survival Unit allows players to connect and compete in real time across the globe. With intuitive mobile controls and rich strategic depth, the game invites fans to explore a new dimension of the Resident Evil universe—anytime, anywhere.

The Story Begins in a Locked Hospital

The game opens with the protagonist awakening in a mysterious hospital, having been used as a test subject by Umbrella Corporation. As players uncover the truth and attempt to escape, the story unfolds into a parallel world where familiar characters from the original series return in a brand-new storyline that explores new developments and adventures alongside them.

Build, Prepare, Survive: Your Mansion Is Your Base

Players will establish and manage their own base—an intricately designed mansion where iconic characters live and interact. Fans will appreciate the detailed interiors and decorative elements that evoke the atmosphere of the Resident Evil universe, along with interactive dialogue events that bring the characters to life. Gameplay includes purchasing items from the iconic Weapons Merchant featured in the original series, preparing for missions, and crafting survival strategies. Careful planning and tactical preparation are key to survival.

Assemble Your Dream Team of Original Series Characters

Fan-favorite characters such as Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine return, allowing players to form cross-title teams. Each character brings unique skills and traits, enabling diverse tactical combinations and offering a fresh experience for longtime fans.

Real-Time Defense Battles

As the game progresses, players will face intense defense battles against powerful creatures inspired by the Resident Evil universe. Success depends on strategic use of character abilities and environmental mechanics, delivering high-stakes, real-time combat.

Featuring Original Creature Design by Yoshitaka Amano

World-renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano joins the project as a guest designer, contributing the original creature “Mortem.” Amano’s design captures a psychological sense of fear—an eerie presence that lingers in the unknown. His unique vision adds a haunting new layer to the Resident Evil mythos.

It’s time to get crackin’! TREBUCHET’s latest game, Prison Boss Prohibition – the highly anticipated sequel to Prison Boss VR – is out now on Quest and SteamVR! The Mayor’s cracking down on New Yolk City and the black market is thriving, so it’s a good opportunity to teach ‘em who these streets really belong to! Prison Boss Prohibition is a game that allows you to break reality, friendships (did yours survive Overcooked? It might not survive this!), and maybe even (read: definitely) a few laws.

News Summary

Prison Boss Prohibition, the crafting and simulation game about growing your own black market empire from indie studio TREBUCHET, is out now on Quest and SteamVR! A new trailer has been released to celebrate the launch. 

About the Game

Prison Boss Prohibition is a crafting and simulation VR game about growing your own black market empire. Run a chain of stalls crafting a huge catalogue of legal and not-quite-legal merchandise for the citizens of New Yolk City – roll cigarettes, brew booze, tailor suits, write stirring manifestos, and much much more!  Stay out of sight of patrolling cops or risk losing all your precious contraband. Rope in a friend or pick up a stranger from the streets (of the internet) to become your partner in crime!

Accept special jobs to boost your reputation among different factions in the city. Build up street cred and expand your catalogue of contraband. Spend money on upgrades and equipment, and improve your appearance, until you’re the richest, meanest, coolest cock-a-doodle-dude in town! 

The soundtrack is brought to life by Side Mtl (previously Vibe Avenue).

From Ray Charles to Herbie Hancock, from Motown to disco, the music of PBP is a journey through some of the most iconic sounds through the ages. For a sneaky chicken, trying to make ends meet in New-Yolk City, jazz fusion felt like the perfect avenue to explore. As you play through the game, our bespoke dynamic groove system sees the song’s tempo pick up pace to match the increased difficulty, creating a more immersive experience for players. But it’s not just clever tech; the songs are rich with the performances of Montreal’s top jazz performers, Remi Cormier, Emile Farley, and Alex Francoeur, bringing the songwriting from Félix Le Blanc to life. Creative Director Francois Xavier Depas lends his hand to the rare appearance of harmonicas in jazz. He is also credited with the architecture behind the interactive music system, which sees the music respond to the game and the player. Prison Boss Prohibition offers an authentic live band experience as one determined chicken tries to make ends meet on the streets of New Yolk City.

Zurich, Switzerland, July 10, 2025 – The WWII base building strategy game Ground of Aces by Swiss-Polish indie developer Blindflug Studios has officially launched into Early Access. Now available on Steam for Windows PC and Mac, Ground of Aces invites players to step into the role of a British air base commander during the Battle of Britain.

Ground of Aces on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2308690/Ground_of_Aces

Launching on the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, Ground of Aces offers a fresh take on the base building genre and a unique view into World War II, highlighting the challenges faced by air bases and their crews. Players must build, expand, and defend their air base while managing pilots, aircraft, and critical missions to help the war effort. It is inspired by free form base building games like Rimworld and Going Medieval, as well as historical strategy games like Hearts of Iron IV. The art style will pay homage to the “ligne claire” style of Franco-Belgian comics like Biggles and Buck Danny.

“I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re able to launch Ground of Aces into Early Access right on time for the 85th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain,” says Executive Producer Moritz Zumbühl. “This game is a true passion project for our team – it brings together our love for aviation, World War II, and the base-building genre in a unique title. The demo already received fantastic feedback, and we’re excited to continue developing Ground of Aces together with the community during Early Access. We can’t wait to hear what the fans think!”

The Early Access version features the British Royal Air Force as the first playable faction and offers a selection of 14 iconic British aircraft that players can collect and manage for their base. As development continues, players can expect regular updates that expand the scope and depth of the game.

The main pillars of Ground of Aces:

• Engulf yourself in the Second World War: Lead a Royal Air Force airfield during the Battle of Britain, collect iconic World War II aircraft, and defend your base from aerial threats.
• A base builder at heart: Design and expand your air base with complete freedom. Your base is laid out by your own choices and thus unique.
• A dream for aviation enthusiasts: Take command of a fleet of historically significant aircraft. Carefully select the right planes for each mission, maintain your fleet, and ensure your base is always ready for action.
• Your crew’s personal stories: Your crew is more than just numbers—they are individuals shaped by war. Witness their struggles and triumphs, and feel the weight of every loss.

New drones and gameplay improvements for all players

In addition to premium content, Season 3 delivers exciting free content for all players, from new devices to a variety of feature tweaks and quality-of-life improvements.

To expand the current drone selection, two new wheeled drones have joined players’ toolkits:

• The 4-NCR Anchor Drone, which becomes a stationary anchor to attach your winch
• The SCT-6 Scout Drone, which creates a new coverage zone for other drones

Alongside an assortment of bug fixes, several systems have also been overhauled to improve each expedition. Friction physics are more realistic, the radar system now uses electricity, and co-op, shared progress and the UI have been tweaked to offer a better overall experience.

Finally, custom paint jobs can now be applied to all trucks to explore in style. Choose colors and change their hue, brightness and saturation to find the perfect combination for each vehicle.

The Transylvanian Alps await!

Season 3: “Icy Shores” is available today on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Steam and Epic Games Store. Grab the Supreme Edition or Year 1 Edition to get your hands on the Year Pass and exclusive content.

Enchanting Adventure ‘Everdeep Aurora’ Arrives on PC, Nintendo Switch Today – Reunite a family in an NES-inspired underground world

MADRID, SPAIN – July 10, 2025 – Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Games, makes its descent onto Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch today.

As the Perseids meteor shower destroys the planet’s surface, young cat Shell awakens on a bench, separated from her mother and left with only a letter. Following the note and guidance from Shell’s new acquaintance Ribbert, Shell drills her way into the rocky Everdeep to reunite her little family. Discover beautiful landforms, charming locals, and intriguing mysteries as she ventures into civilization’s new home.

Create pathways through procedurally generated stone tiles leading Shell to destinations including magnificent mansions, peaceful ponds, and rowdy taverns. Meet more than 20 of the friendly (and perhaps not-so-friendly?) denizens who call the Everdeep home, and gain their trust and assistance by fulfilling their requests. Acquire new tools at Viktor’s pawn shop, visit Remulus to strengthen them, and take a relaxing fishing break with Otto.

Immerse in captivating visual storytelling at every depth of the Everdeep. Retro graphics and sound design, a limited color palette, and a square interface evoke nostalgia for beloved retro consoles like the Nintendo Entertainment System. Smoothly animated cutscenes, color-grading transitions, and shifting musical themes breathe joyful life and abundant personality into the strange corners of this underground oasis.

“Shell’s adventure is motivated by her mission to reunite with her mother, but her quest also leads her to forge friendships with many of the Everdeep’s residents,” said Mikel Ojea, co-founder of Nautilus Games. “We wanted to value both Shell’s relationship with her mother and her newfound friends to reflect the importance of having and creating those relationships in real life, especially in times of crisis.”

Everdeep Aurora is available now on Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch for USD $19.99 with English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese text language support.
