Dragon Quest VII Reimagined | Feb 5 | PS5

If you’re anything like me, the mere mention of Dragon Quest immediately triggers its signature theme tune in your head – but that’s the perfect preface to a remake which aims to do its early 2000s PlayStation original proud. The classic tale of a fisherman’s son turned time-traveling hero has been updated, along with the addition of a well-crafted diorama visual style which makes Akira Toriyama’s iconic character designs pop off the screen. And the combat system has been improved to give you access to even more abilities and pre-emptive strikes.

(For Southeast Asia) Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties revealed! https://blog.playstation.com/2025/09/23/20250924-yakuza/ Wed, 24 Sep 2025 05:05:44 +0000 urn:uuid:05e0a22b-2601-4488-a758-03468086b8c2 SEGA is thrilled to announce Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, is coming to PlayStation5, PlayStation4 on February 12, 2026.

Debuting on PlayStation 3 in 2009, Yakuza 3 returns, revitalized with cutting-edge technology. This evolved edition brings Okinawa to life, featuring more intense battles, added cutscenes that bring depth to the story, and minigames chock-full of replay value. Kiryu’s back in the brawl, continuing the fight to protect those he holds dear.

This title also includes Dark Ties, which stars Yoshitaka Mine, Kiryu’s adversary.

Follow Mine on his journey from working as a venture company’s founder to becoming a full-fledged yakuza member. After losing everything, Mine sets off in an attempt to form a connection that would fill the void in his heart.

In Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, you can enjoy the passionate drama of two men — “Kazuma Kiryu” and “Yoshitaka Mine” — all in one game.

STORY:When the peace is shattered,the Dragon of Dojima makes his return.

After the Omi Alliance conflict, Kazuma Kiryu leaves the Tojo Clan in Daigo Dojima’s hands and moves to Okinawa with Haruka. There, he spends his days running Morning Glory, an orphanage tied to his foster father, Shintaro Kazama.

However, a government-sponsored resort deal threatens his newfound peace.

Morning Glory is caught in the crossfire, a Tojo Clan succession dispute erupts, and a conspiracy engulfs the political world.

When the maelstrom of conflicts converges, Kiryu steps into the fray once more.

BATTLE:Fight as Kiryu in His Prime Using Two Different Battle Styles

In Yakuza 3 Kiwami, Kiryu has two fighting styles at his disposal: the Dragon of Dojima Style and Ryukyu Style.

The Dragon of Dojima Style transforms you into an unstoppable force of nature. This style has been completely revamped, boasting the most diverse moveset in the series.

The Ryukyu Style utilizes traditional Okinawan weaponry, allowing for an exhilarating and technical playstyle. Master the 8 available weapons to dish out devastating attack combos.

ADVENTURE:Revel in the Nature and Tradition of Okinawa

At the Morning Glory Orphanage in Okinawa, you can experience “Life at Morning Glory” content that lets you enjoy the daily life of Kiryu and the children.With the team battle content “Bad Boy Dragon”, you can fight alongside a local ladies’ team to protect the streets of Okinawa.

Entertainment

In Downtown Ryukyu and Kamurocho, there are plenty of ways to cut loose.

Pose for the perfect shot at the Print Club, aim for strikes in bowling, and enjoy a series of other staple minigames—including golf, darts, karaoke, UFO Catchers, gambling, and mahjong!

STORY:A Man Drawn into the Heart of the Underworld

The year is 2007.

Yoshitaka Mine is the successful founder of a startup company, but he loses everything when his colleagues stab him in the back.

Wandering aimlessly through Kamurocho, he witnesses a gruesome conflict between yakuza.

The sight of the subordinates sacrificing themselves for their boss was everything Mine had been longing for—a bond that transcended material gain. The survivor of this assault is Daigo Dojima, the sixth chairman of Japan’s largest yakuza clan.

Hoping to find such a bond himself, Mine decides to acquaint himself with Tsuyoshi Kanda, a Tojo clan lieutenant.

Witness Yoshitaka Mine’s story, from his first steps into the criminal underworld to his ascent through the ranks of the Tojo Clan.

BATTLE:Ruthless Combat

Mine wields a stylish fighting style based on shootboxing.

He waits for his foes to slip up, beating them down using a string of elegant combos. You can also freely sweep through the air to toy with your enemies.

Additionally, Dark Awakening will completely transform your moveset, allowing you to unleash a barrage of brutal strikes and a dark special move that can knock the life right out of your opponents.

ADVENTURE:Paint Kamurocho red as Mine

Kamurocho, Tokyo

The city that never sleeps; a place where greed and desire run rampant.

Visitors always find themselves captivated by the restaurants, bars, and amusement facilities that line its streets. It is home to the Nishikiyama Family offices and other key locations.

In addition, unique content such as the “Kanda Damage Control” which aims to turn Kanda into a charismatic figure, and the exclusive battle spot “Underground Fight Club” for Dark Ties, where you can enjoy battles with various rules, are also available.

Entertainment

You can also play minigames alongside Tsuyoshi Kanda at certain venues. Prepare to discover a whole new side of Mine you’ve never seen before!

The Raidou Kuzunoha games quickly gained a loyal following due to their unique alternate Taisho-era setting, engaging detective narrative, and real-time combat alongside demon companions. Players take on the role of Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, the successor to a lineage of Devil Summoners. Created as spin-offs to Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, the first Raidou Kuzunoha game debuted in Japan in 2006, followed by its sequel, Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, in 2008.

The first Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha game returns after 19 years with its new-and-improved version

Nearly two decades after the release of the first game, ATLUS breathes new life into the series, preserving the original’s acclaimed writing and characters while offering upgraded visuals, improved combat, and more demons.

You can view it at any time from the menu, so take advantage of it if you ever get stuck during an investigation.

Express Streetcars

As you pursue your investigation, you will no doubt find yourself needing to revisit the Narumi Detective Agency, certain crime scenes, and various other locations. Hop in an express streetcar to instantly travel to places you’ve already visited.

Voice Settings

(For Southeast Asia) RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army will be released tomorrow, on June 19! Conjure Demons to Vanquish Demons Make way for Raidou Kuzunoha, Devil Summoner!

Protect the Capital as a Devil Summoner in Taisho year 20

It is the 20th year of the Taisho era in Japan. As the movement toward Westernization begins to intensify, sinister beings known as demons threaten the peace and order of the Capital unbeknownst to its inhabitants. Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, a Devil Summoner who wields the power to decimate demons, is tasked with protecting the Capital from these threats.

Moonlighting as a detective apprentice at the Narumi Detective Agency, he works around the clock to solve mysterious cases linked to demons. One day, a young schoolgirl appears with a bizarre request.

The client is Kaya Daidouji, the only daughter of the prestigious Daidouji family. However, before she can explain, she is abducted by mysterious figures. Tracking her down won’t be easy for Raidou and his boss, Narumi. This mystifying abduction is about to escalate into a full-blown crisis that will put the Capital and the entire country in jeopardy.

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV

The protagonist: a calm and quiet boy in his late teens. Since taking on the name Raidou Kuzunoha XIV, he has been tasked with using his extraordinary Devil Summoner abilities to safeguard the Capital. Outwardly, he’s a student at Yumizuki High School helping out as an apprentice at Narumi Detective Agency. He leverages his position as a detective to gather information, utilizing the powers of his devil allies to solve any case involving demons swiftly. Beneath his cloak, he carries several demon-slaying tools: a sword, a gun, and multiple tubes for sealing demons.

Encounter a memorable cast of characters throughout the Capital

You’ll cross paths with a host of unique individuals as you work to crack the case, including Raidou’s feline mentor Gouto, Raidou’s boss Narumi, reporter Tae Asakura, the patriotic Major General Munakata, and the crooked Dark Summoner Rasputin. To learn more about them, visit the official website.

Solve a paranormal case with the help of your demon companions

As a detective, you’ll investigate various incidents in the Capital, which will require intel from not just the inhabitants, but also the demons lurking about. You can also tap into your demon allies’ Investigation Skills to help you crack cases. Read Mind allows you to hear the inner thoughts of people unwilling to provide verbal testimony and Cool Down creates new paths by freezing water. On top of that, your demons can sleuth out areas that are off-limits to Raidou.

Search for clues in the Real World and the Dark Realm

Your investigations will take you back and forth between the Capital and the Dark Realm, a nexus between the Real World and the Netherworld that is overflowing with demons. Outside of Devil Summoners and others with spiritual abilities, an ordinary person cannot enter—let alone sense—the Dark Realm. However, once in a blue moon, a demon may lure them in. In this remastered version of the Dark Realm, you’ll now be able to enter combat by making contact with demons in the field.

The Capital features a variety of areas to explore, including districts steeped in western architecture as well as traditional downtown neighborhoods. At the Narumi Detective Agency in Tsukudo-Cho, you can save, heal, and review your progress on the case. Once you’ve acquired a certain item, you’ll also be able to play a game of mahjong against Narumi or your demons.

Coordinate with your demon companions in RAIDOU Remastered’s improved combat system

RAIDOU Remastered features real-time combat where Raidou and his summonable demon allies can work together to take down foes. As Raidou, you’ll be able to string together sword and gun attacks with a range of other maneuvers.

In the original game, you could only summon one demon at a time, but in the remaster, you’ll now be able to command up to two allies just like in Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon. Your companions act independently, choosing the most appropriate action for the situation at hand or executing the commands you’ve given them. Each demon has their own unique combat skills, so it’ll be important to consider how they complement each other or fare against enemies. You can also simply deploy your favorites—even two of the same demon, if you’d like!

Harness the new MAG Drain System

Magnetite (MAG) is a form of spiritual energy used by demons to perform Combat Skills. Raidou’s light sword attacks siphon MAG from enemies, while his strong attacks deal more damage but do not replenish the party’s MAG. Being able to quickly decide which to prioritize will make all the difference! Additionally, exploiting an enemy’s weakness will stun them, allowing you to deal more damage and recover significant MAG.

Turn enemies into allies using the art of confinement

The art of confinement allows you to seal an enemy into one of Raidou’s tubes. Should you succeed, you may have the chance to strike up a conversation with them. Choose an answer they like, and they’ll provide benefits such as healing your party or boosting your stats!

Go all out with Devil’s Bane and Spirit Slash

Once you’ve got an enemy off guard, you’ll be able to perform Devil’s Bane—a technique that inflicts a massive amount of damage and steals the enemy’s MAG. Additionally, meeting certain conditions during battle will raise your Spirit. Once it’s maxed out, you can perform Spirit Slash to deliver tremendous damage to all enemies in the field.

Command over 120 demon allies!

50 new demons have been added to the remaster, bringing the total to over 120. At the Goumaden, Dr. Victor’s research facility, Raidou can fuse the demons he captures with the art of confinement into more powerful ones. On top of that, each demon belongs to a specific Order, which influences their weaknesses, skills, and fusion properties.

When performing fusion, you are able to decide which skills the new demon inherits, allowing you to create a demon that is uniquely yours. Registering your demons into the Devil Chart will allow you to summon them again at any time. With the Premium Devil Chart, you’ll be able to register multiple entries for the same demon.

Customizing demon skills

Demons possess two types of skills: Combat Skills and Passive Skills. Your allies will gain new abilities as they level up, and they can even inherit them during demon fusion. Skill books allow you to teach your demons specific skills.

Sword Alchemy and Summoner Skills

Sword Alchemy is a new feature that allows Raidou to craft new weapons by fusing blades with demonic essence at the Goumaden. Through the crafted weapons, Raidou can acquire new abilities known as Summoner Skills. The first type, Combat Skills, includes a range of powerful techniques for battle. The second type, Sword Skills, encompasses abilities that provide Raidou with passive bonuses simply by equipping them. You can change your Summoner Skills as you see fit—even mid-battle!

Tons of side content to enjoy, from side quests to post-game features

Throughout your investigation, humans and demons around the Capital may give you requests. You’ll earn rewards for completing these, so be sure to lend a helping hand when you can! Once you’ve completed the game, you’ll be able to choose the Detective Legend difficulty mode for a more challenging experience. By completing a certain quest will unlock Raiho’s fusion, a lovable Jack Frost who looks up to Raidou!

Two Chapters of Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Lone Marebito, a manga spin-off, are available now!

Ninja Action at its Finest! https://blog.playstation.com/2025/06/08/20250609-shinobi/ Mon, 09 Jun 2025 00:38:27 +0000 urn:uuid:b60c4ba5-6599-4a39-9e35-c8c77ae570b5 SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance arrives on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 on August 29, 2025. This brand-new title continues the legacy of the Shinobi series, which first came to arcades in 1987.

Lizardcube, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Streets of Rage IV (2020), return to breathe life into Joe Musashi’s latest quest for vengeance with their iconic art style.

Recently, we had the chance to sit down and play two stages ahead of the game’s launch, and found ourselves immediately captivated by the art style, fluid controls, and fast-paced combat system. In our latest blog, we break down what makes the game so enjoyable and how it captures the essence of being a ninja.

Journey through a stylistic dystopian world

A paramilitary faction known as ENE Corp seizes territories across the world, decimating their defenses in little time. Only one threat to their dominion remains: the Oboro Clan, led by the legendary Joe Musashi.

Ruse, the mastermind behind ENE Corp, takes matters into his own hands and launches a devastating attack on Oboro Village. Joe Musashi, upon finding his village burned to the ground and his clan turned to stone, sets off on a quest for vengeance, ready to face an unparalleled evil.

Joe Musashi

The protagonist. Head of the Oboro Clan, a tribe of ninjas that has protected peace from within the shadows for generations. Though he’s a man of few words, his clan puts their utmost trust in him.

Lord Ruse

The mastermind behind paramilitary organization ENE Corp. He commands his troops with callous tact and an iron fist. Fearing the might of the Oboro Clan, he sets in motion a plan to eliminate them once and for all.

Your journey will see you traverse through a variety of stages, from neon-lit cityscapes and military strongholds to the top of a speeding freight train and more. The game’s hand-drawn aesthetic pulls you into a world that feels as if it were lifted straight from a comic book. They’re so gorgeous that you’ll want to stop and admire the visuals.

In your quest for vengeance, you’ll need to harness new skills, uncover hidden paths, and use your wit and skill to overcome the obstacles in your way.

Stage Overview 1: Oboro Village

On a training excursion to Oboro Village, Musashi and his students encounter rival ninjas and discover that the village is under attack. You’ll need to master jumping, dodging, Ninpo, and other fundamental fighting moves as you rush towards the goal.

It’s really easy to get lost in learning the basics, but make sure you step back and soak in the beauty of the world. You can see how much attention and care went into every little detail, like the mist surrounding the plains and bamboo trees or the sunlight streaming through the treetops.

Once you pass the halfway point, you’ll come across the smoldering ashes of the village and a ninja estate rigged with traps. Some sections may seem unpassable at first glance, but if you look carefully and get creative with your ninja skills, you’ll find ways to get around!

Stage Overview 2: Lantern Festival

Upon learning that ENE Corp may be operating in the shadows of a lakeside festival, Joe Musashi wastes no time in giving chase.

To kick this stage off, you’ll have to traverse a path of wooden planks and wrecked ships to get across the lake. Linger too long and they’ll sink, sending you to a watery grave. This is a challenging stage that requires you to stay on the move, leaping from platform to platform as you vanquish foes along the way.

Once you arrive at the village, you’ll be greeted by the sight of fireworks and lanterns shaped like dragons, tigers, and other creatures. However, there’s no time to admire the view. The stage will keep on scrolling along, so you’ll need to take to the skies and stay one step ahead. Take advantage of your surroundings and use double jump and aerial dash to help you maneuver across the area.

Master the way of the shinobi with Ninpo and powerful Ninjutsu

It’s impossible to talk about SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance without mentioning its fast-paced, hard-hitting combat system. In addition to katana- and shuriken-based techniques, you also have an array of Ninjutsu and Ninpo at your disposal. Beautifully rendered in smooth, fluid animation, every attack is intuitive and easy to execute.

Of course, there’s more to the game than simply mashing buttons. You’ll need to adapt to various situations using the skills in your toolkit. Getting accustomed to combos will help you clear stages quicker, so once you get the hang of it, try developing your own combos and polishing up your playstyle. Aside from basic commands, you can also perform the following maneuvers:

Ningi

Ningi are helpful abilities that can be performed by entering special commands and have no limitations. You can obtain new Ningi by progressing through the story or visiting the shop.

The Cannon Punch, which can be unlocked in the demo, deals heavy damage to armor, making it possible to hurt enemies who are impervious to regular attacks. Once you’ve broken their guard, you can follow up with a combo to deal even more damage. When you get your hands on the full version of the game, try it out in battle! The Cannon Punch can also destroy Yokai Barriers, opening up new paths for you to explore!

Shinobi Execution

Enemies have an Execution Gauge which is the white bar beneath their health bar. Inflicting damage on them will fill it up. Once it’s maxed out, you’ll see an icon appear above them, marking them for Execution. Perform a Shinobi Execution to finish them off instantly.

Defeating an enemy with this move nets you additional loot, and if your attack kills multiple enemies, you’ll earn even more bonus rewards. Mastering Shinobi Executions takes practice, but once you understand their damage output and how to pull them off effectively, there’s honestly no better feeling than getting to wipe out all your enemies on-screen with it.

Ninpo

Ninpo are special attacks that can be executed once your green gauge is maxed out. You can fill up the gauge by attacking enemies. In the demo, Fire Ninpo lets you breathe fire, dealing damage to enemies in front of you, while Water Ninpo puts you in a defensive stance where you’ll perform a powerful counter on any enemy attacking you.

Water Ninpo is only usable under specific conditions, but if performed successfully, it’ll boost your Execution Gauge and deal heavy damage to armored foes. Mastering it will turn it into a powerful tool in your arsenal!

Ninjutsu

Defeating enemies and collecting the red Rage Orbs that they drop will charge up your Rage Gauge (the bar surrounding Joe’s portrait). Once it’s fully charged, you’ll be able to cast Ninjutsu, powerful full-screen attacks.

Karyu, for example, engulfs the entire screen in flames, dealing tremendous damage to all enemies. When used against large swarms of enemies, you’ll achieve an astonishingly high hit count. However, unlike other moves, Ninjutsu have a drawback in that they need time to charge up, so play conservatively and unleash them when the time is right.

Collect Oboro Relics to attain upgrades and new gear

Each stage features a shop run by a yokai where you can upgrade your health and stats or purchase new Ningi and Ninpo. To help the store thrive, however, you’ll need to find Oboro Relics—five of which are hidden in each stage. By giving these items to the shopkeeper, they’ll be able to expand their wares, allowing you to purchase new Ningi, Ninpo, and other items.

Items in the store can be purchased with the gold you obtain from defeating enemies. Powerful Ningi and Ninpo can be expensive, so to build up your funds more efficiently, try using Shinobi Executions to quickly decimate your foes. If you’re stuck on a stage or a boss is giving you trouble, you can always backtrack and defeat more enemies for gold. That will allow you to learn new Ningi and boost your stats, better preparing you for the trials ahead.

Pre-orders for the Digital Deluxe Edition available now

Pick up the Digital Deluxe Edition to get the base game, a Starter Pack filled with in-game items, the SEGA Villains Stage (releasing early 2026) which features bosses based on iconic SEGA villains, the Digital Artbook, and a soundtrack!
