Hi, everyone!
Summer is here, and we hope you’re enjoying the gaming news of the past few weeks as you prepare for some cool-off activities!
We’re preparing for the launch of Astrobots on September 6th, and we want to bring some surprises to the community.
In Astrobots, you and ASTRO will embark on a rescue mission to search for 300 robot crew members scattered across different star systems. Many of these crew members are iconic guest characters in PlayStation history, with a total of more than 150 robots, each with their own animated segment that pays homage to their original games.
To add to the fun, 4 of these special robots are also hidden in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM, which comes pre-loaded on every PS5 console. Simply unlock these 4 hidden characters in ASTRO’s PLAYROOM and you can bring them with you to the new game, AstroBot, and add them to your starting team. Following along so far?
On June 7th, the first of the 4 special robots was in place. Being playful robots ourselves, we decided to turn his appearance into a treasure hunt to see how long it would take for everyone to solve the puzzle. We were pleasantly surprised when the community solved the puzzle in under 3 hours! That’s amazing. If you missed it, here are the steps below.
In the first area of the GPU Jungle, we hid a secret capsule. To make it appear, you must be standing on a large plant near the edge of the platform, just behind the Bloodborne Hunter robot. Inside the capsule, another special robot (Ms. Maria) appears to be trapped and in need of rescue.
The clock image displayed on the capsule body is a small reminder provided by us. But what does that mean? Look closely around the nearby platform and you'll notice a similar clock symbol carved into a tree above. You need to jump a few times to get there. He took up his position behind the farthest tree.
Things get trickier from here (or so we thought!). While standing in that position, you must press the "Options" button to pause the game. Unlike normal pauses, doing so will cause a special interstellar clock screen to appear. Enter the number "24.11.2015" (or "November 24, 2015", which is the original release date of the "Bloodborne" DLC with Lady Maria as the main character), and the hands of the clock will magically turn, and then...
Hello, fellow ropers! Greetings from the "Zero" development team. I am Lee Jin-woo, the producer of "Zero". After 4 years of development, 3 rounds of closed beta testing, and countless improvements, I am very excited that "Zero" will finally be officially launched on PlayStation®5 at 10:00 (UTC+8) on July 4! I would like to take this opportunity to share the latest game content with you through this blog.
Fascinating narrative Unique characters
"Zero Zone" is a brand new urban fantasy ARPG under HoYoverse. In the game, a disaster called "The Hollow" destroyed modern society. The only remaining city, New Eridu, rose against the tide in the apocalypse and became the survivor of modern civilization. In the game, players will play the role of "Ropemaker" and explore the Hollow with various characters, defeat enemies, complete tasks, and unravel the story behind New Eridu.
Although the story is set in the apocalypse, the world of "Zero Zone" is still full of interesting stories and characters. After meeting the universal office Cunning Rabbit House and the outstanding industrial group Baiqi Heavy Industry through the initial main story chapters, players can unlock the second chapter, the interlude and the third chapter of the main story. In the new story, Sheriff Vermilion Iris will make his official debut, and the members of Victoria Home Service will also reveal their true identities.
In addition, new characters Lucy and Paipai are ready to join your team and explore the dangerous Hollow with you. They are from a camp active in the outer ring area of New Eridu - the Sons of Caledon. At the same time, several newly designed Bombs with unique abilities are also ready to listen to your command at any time and wait to join your battle.
Dragon Ball adaptations have been a fixture in console gaming for the past decade, with games like the Xenoverse series, Kakarot, and FighterZ.
Now, in 2024, Dragon Ball fans can expect a new installment in the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series. The previous installment in the action-battling series was Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (in the US and Europe) and Dragon Ball Z: Sparking Meteor (in Asia), both released on the PlayStation 2 in 2007.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is the next chapter in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, and will be released on PlayStation 5 on October 11, 2024. This game not only continues the tradition of this game series, but also has a global name "Sparking Zero", ready to gather fans from all over the world to participate in the celebration.
Sparking Zero’s battle system continues the one-on-one 3D combat structure pioneered by the previous game. This structure allows fans to enjoy complete freedom of movement in three-dimensional space, as if they are truly immersed in the world of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, and can fully replace the characters in it.
Whether you are a loyal fan for many years or a player who is just starting out on the journey, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is a masterpiece tailor-made for you. It has been more than a decade since the release of the last game, and we are excited to give PS5 players a glimpse of the Battle Training Mode, a feature that will help you prepare for the ultimate Dragon Ball battle experience.
