The Awakened Fate Ultimatum will be coming to PlayStation 3 on March 17, and you can order it now at the NISA Online Store. There’s the regular edition, and then three exclusive sets to choose from – “Angelic,” “Devilish,” and “Ultimate Fate,” the last of which is pictured above and will include everything from the other two sets plus more. NISA knows how to treat its fans!

The complete details on the contents of all four editions of the game can be perused at the NIS America Store.

For those of you unfamiliar with the game, it follows a human boy who gets stabbed by devils, and is saved by a mysterious girl. He’s had the “Fate Awakening Crystal” implanted into his chest, which turns him into God. “He finds himself thrust into the middle of the war between angels and devils,” which is sort of to be expected at this point. “He must harness his newly awakened powers, choose how to use them, and ultimately decide which of the two new girls in his life he will do anything to save.”

Check out The Awakened Fate Ultimatum when it releases on March 17 for PlayStation 3.

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Nicole Kline

1418792644-operation-abyss-new-tokyo-legacyNIS America has announced that they’ll be bringing Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy to North America and Europe for the PlayStation Vita in the Spring of 2015. This dungeon-crawler RPG will be available as a digital release as well as a physical one.

The game is set in near-future Tokyo, with genetically engineered monsters called Variants, as well as portals to another dimension called the Abyss. The Code Physics Agency has been created to do some investigating, and have created a group of – you guessed it – teenagers called the Xth Squad to check things out.

The game includes a customization system so you can recruit and train your teens, as well as a “unique cyberpunk story.” New Tokyo will be home to over 40 hours of dungeon-crawling, for those of you looking for something to keep you occupied while you wait for Disgaea 5.

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy will be coming to the Vita in Spring 2015.

SteinsGate will be released in US/Europe next year

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Nicole Kline

1911868_1512706932345292_2782179389374038158_nSteinsGate, an extremely popular visual novel in Japan, will be coming to PlayStation 3 and Vita in 2015 in both the United States and Europe, according to publisher PQube. Siliconera asked PQube’s Geraint Evans if the Sony versions would use the same translation as the PC version from 2014, but he replied that it was unclear.

Siliconera also asked if the game would be a retail release or digital-only, to which Evans said, “I’m personally against digital-only releases, so I will do my very best to ensure a physical release happens. I don’t want to imagine a world where there’s no physical copy of SteinsGate in my collection.”

SteinsGate is currently out on PC, and will be out on the PS3 and Vita next year.

Watch Until Dawn’s full PlayStation Experience demo right here

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Nicole Kline

Supermassive Games’ Until Dawn was playable at the PlayStation Experience that Sony recently held in Las Vegas. And if you weren’t able to attend, here’s an eight-minute video presentation of the full demo that the developer brought to the show. You can see as Sam (Hayden Panettiere) gets interrupted while taking a bath, and then has to run through a creepy house with no lights on while wearing nothing but a towel. I cannot believe that towel did not fall off. Those physics are off the charts.

Until Dawn is scheduled to be released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4.

Publisher CI Games and developer Deck 13 have revealed that development has begun on Lords of the Fallen 2. Lords of the Fallen, a medieval “hack and slash” reminiscent of Dark Souls, was released for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in October to above average reviews.

Tomasz Gop, the Executive Producer of the title at CI Games, confirmed the news to Eurogamer this morning, saying, “We’re now working on vision and concepts for Lords 2.” No other information about the game was announced.

While Lords of the Fallen 2’s destination has yet to announced, it seems likely that it too is in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
