Hey there folks! Sid and Tim checking in this week. Or maybe it’s next week. Who knows? Anyway, we’re chatting about how System Shock 2 basically wrote the playbook for future games. Wild, right? We’ve got some juicy bits from Summer Game Fest 2025 too. I should have been paying more attention but got lost in my own thoughts. Typical.
So, what’s on the menu?
Next week’s biggies — oh wait, are they out yet? Anyway, you’ll see:
– Ruffy And The Riverside. A PS5 party, I think.
– System Shock 2’s 25th anniversary remix on both PS5 and PS4. Time flies, huh?
– Black Desert on PS5. Always sounds mysterious.
– Death Stranding 2: On The Beach… because beaches are ominous now?
PS Store’s doing the Mid-Year Deals. Or are they? Up to 70% off, apparently. Until July 2nd, if my calendar’s to be trusted. Spoiler: it’s not.
And oh! Ghost of Yōtei. Apparently, Sucker Punch is loving Hokkaido. Who knew foraging skills were a thing in gaming?
Then there’s Climate Station on PS5/PS VR2 — a whirlwind of interactive climate science. No, really, it’s a thing.
Meet the masterminds:
Sid Shuman, that Senior Director of Content Communications wizard, and Tim Turi, the Content Communications Manager maestro. Two peas in a very techy pod. Those titles, though. Imagine saying them at a party.
Oh, quick shoutout to Dormilón for the theme music. Makes our toes tap, even if nobody asked.
And a tiny note — game release dates love to get shifty. It’s chaos, people. Total chaos. But that’s what press releases are for, right?
Catch ya later!
