It has been 22 days since the beginning of the year, and PlayStation is celebrating by welcoming 2026 with its New Year Offers promotion. Since the launch of this campaign, players can access significant discounts on hundreds of video games for PS4 and PS5, all available in the PS Store. This initiative allows users to expand their digital library without straining their budget too much.
More than 2,000 games on sale
The New Year Offers promotion is a limited-time opportunity that will be available until February 4th. Therefore, players have a few days to explore the available offers, compare prices, and choose the titles they wish to add to their collection. With over 2,000 video games at discounted prices, and if DLCs and add-ons are considered, the total number of items exceeds 3,000, offering discounts that reach 75% or more.
The PlayStation promotion is not only a strategy to welcome the new year but also an excellent opportunity for gamers to catch up on titles they may not have been able to acquire before. With time running out, video game enthusiasts must act quickly to take advantage of these discounts before the campaign ends next month. Undoubtedly, this is an occasion that many PlayStation fans will not want to miss.
The PlayStation 4, launched in 2013, will surprisingly continue to receive support for at least two more years, which could extend its lifespan to an impressive total of 14 years. This announcement reinforces the idea that the PS4 is not ready to die, despite the arrival of its successor, the PS5. During the recent The Game Awards 2025, several developers and publishers confirmed their plans to continue releasing video games on this console, such as Megaman Dual Override, which will be released in 2027.

The PlayStation 4, launched in 2013, will surprisingly continue to receive support for at least two more years, which could extend its lifespan to an impressive total of 14 years. This announcement reinforces the idea that the PS4 is not ready to die, despite the arrival of its successor, the PS5. During the recent The Game Awards 2025, several developers and publishers confirmed their plans to continue releasing video games on this console, such as Megaman Dual Override, which will be released in 2027.
PS4 never dies
With over 117 million units sold, the large user base of the PS4 has encouraged numerous third-party studios to continue supporting this console, even as PlayStation Studios has redirected its focus to the PS5. This scenario raises the possibility that the PS4 could surpass the legendary PlayStation 2, which had a commercial cycle of 13 years, from its launch in 2000 until the last game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.
Despite the fact that major titles like Call of Duty and EA Sports FC may stop being developed for the PS4 starting in 2026, many indie games, which tend to be more accessible in terms of technical requirements, could continue to arrive on the console for an even longer period. This suggests that, at least in the coming years, the PS4 will remain relevant in the market.
Meanwhile, it is speculated that the longevity of the PS4 could even allow some titles to reach the platform even after the launch of PlayStation 6. The perseverance of this console in the video game industry highlights both its cultural impact and its economic importance, a legacy that continues to grow in a constantly evolving technological landscape.
The recent State of Play organized by Sony surprised the gaming community by focusing exclusively on the Japanese market, but it did not meet the high expectations that many fans had anticipated. Announcements from iconic franchises like Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts were expected, especially with the possibility of revelations about the third part of Final Fantasy VII Remake or the fourth installment of Kingdom Hearts. However, the event culminated with the presentation of a trailer for Octopath Traveler 0 and the confirmation of a free demo. The one with the least blame apologizes
The recent State of Play organized by Sony surprised the gaming community by focusing exclusively on the Japanese market, but it did not meet the high expectations that many fans had anticipated. Announcements were expected from iconic franchises such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts, especially with the possibility of revelations about the third part of Final Fantasy VII Remake or the fourth installment of Kingdom Hearts. However, the event culminated with the presentation of a trailer for Octopath Traveler 0 and the confirmation of a free demo.
The one who has the least blame apologizes
The event, hosted by actor Yuki Kaji, known for his role in Attack on Titan, failed to connect with the audience as expected. Throughout the 26 minutes of broadcast, many viewers began to speculate about the anticipated announcements, which quickly turned into disappointment when only more content about the previously announced title, Octopath Traveler 0, was revealed, with its release scheduled for December 4, 2025. Comments on the official channel reflected this discontent, with some users labeling the event as “the scare from Square Enix.”
In light of the dissatisfaction generated, Hirohito Suzuki, producer of Octopath Traveler 0, publicly apologized acknowledging that the announcement did not meet everyone’s expectations, although he emphasized that the game was developed with a lot of love. Through social media, he invited players to give the title a chance.
For those interested, Square Enix has released a free demo of the game on multiple platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, allowing players to experience the first three hours of the story. This trial version offers players the option to transfer their progress to the final version, providing an opportunity to explore the world of Octopath Traveler 0 before its official release.
Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, has shared his perspective on the failed development of Agent, a spy game that was announced in 2009 as a PS3 exclusive.

Agent could not find a way to be contemplative
In a recent interview with Lex Fridman, Houser addressed the challenges of creating a spy game in an open world, highlighting that the typical dynamics of the open world genre do not align well with the frantic narratives of espionage. According to him, “spy games require a certain urgency, where the player must be against the clock,” which contrasts with the more relaxed experience that Rockstar usually offers in its titles like Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption.
“The most memorable moments in games like GTA or Red Dead occur in the relaxed intervals between action scenes,” Houser commented. This observation raises the question of whether it is possible to combine the freedom offered by an open world with the need for urgent mission fulfillment that characterizes espionage stories. Houser referred to the Hitman series, which focuses on self-contained gameplay environments, suggesting that an interconnected open world might not be suitable for capturing the essence of espionage.
Additionally, Houser mentions that Rockstar only attempted to develop GTA London once in 26 years, arguing that the series has a strong thematic connection to America, which makes it difficult to adapt to other contexts. Despite the anticipation for a Rockstar espionage game, Houser’s statements indicate that the studio maintains a cautious approach on how it could execute such a project.

Developed by Tribute Games, the title promises to deliver a beat ’em up experience that pays homage to 90s Marvel comics, following the studio’s recent success with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.
A beat’em up that makes you feel like a Marvel character
Marvel Cosmic Invasion will feature an appealing cast of 15 playable heroes, highlighting two iconic characters that fans did not expect: Phoenix and the Invincible Iron Man. Alongside them, players will be able to choose from other iconic superheroes such as Captain America, Wolverine, and Spider-Man, while battling Annihilus and his minions in an environment reminiscent of the streets of New York.
One of the most innovative features of the game is the mechanic called Cosmic Swap, which allows players to switch between two heroes per level, making it easier to chain combos and abilities smoothly. The pixel art graphic style not only evokes classic arcade games but also provides a vibrant and nostalgic visual experience.
In addition, Marvel Cosmic Invasion will offer a local and online cooperative mode for up to four players, with cross-play options and accessibility settings to ensure that all players can enjoy the title. First impressions have been positive, with critics praising its exciting gameplay and its faithful homage to the Marvel universe.
As if that weren’t enough, a demo of the game is already available for free on Steam, providing interested players the opportunity to try it out before its release. Although plans for additional content after the launch have not yet been confirmed, it is suggested that the studio could explore this possibility if the game receives a good reception in the market. Expectations are high, and many see Marvel Cosmic Invasion as an opportunity to revitalize 2D superhero games, making it one of the most anticipated titles of the season.

This new installment is set in the year 2035, more than four decades after the events of Black Ops 6 and will take place in a world where adversaries manipulate fear as a weapon of combat.

The choice of Ventimiglia to embody Mason has been described by Activision’s marketing director, Tyler Bahl, as suitable to bring to life an “iconic character of the franchise.”
This trailer is just the first phase of an extensive marketing campaign that will unfold in the coming weeks, with the possibility of more announcements and details about the game being revealed. Although an exact release date has not been confirmed, it is certain that Black Ops 7 will be available this year for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC through platforms like Steam and Battle.net.

Deltarune will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 with chapters 3 and 4
Since its first free release in 2018, which was followed by the second chapter in 2021, fans of the game have been eager for more content. Unlike the previous chapters, which were offered for free, Fox has indicated that chapters 3 and 4 will be priced at 24.99 euros, which will include all chapters up to the fourth. This decision aligns with a shift towards a more traditional monetization model for the series.
Despite the long wait since the release of the previous chapters, Fox has been transparent about the challenges of development. In a recent update, it mentioned that development has been complicated, which has resulted in a prolonged waiting period. However, it hinted that chapter 5 is already in the development phase and that there may be plans for more chapters in the future.
All of this has created a palpable expectation among fans, and Fox has used social media and newsletters to keep the community informed and excited. Additionally, the game will also be available on Steam, PS4, and PS5 on the same day of its release.
With this confirmation, Deltarune is approaching its next big release, and players are invited to add it to their wishlist on Steam, while chapters 1 and 2 remain available for free.

The video game industry continues to surprise with unexpected collaborations, and the most recent of these is the inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo as a fighter in the new SNK title, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, scheduled for release on April 24, 2025. Unlike typical cameos, the Portuguese star will be a full fighter with unique moves inspired by his football skills.
A guest character completely out of place in every sense
Ronaldo will have a repertoire of attacks that will include everything from acrobatic kicks to ball throws, which he can use to attack his rivals from a distance. As part of his character, the footballer will celebrate his victories in the most iconic way possible, with his famous phrase: “Siiuuuu!” This addition has captured the attention of fans, who are already anticipating how the spirit of football will be integrated into the world of Fatal Fury.
The return of the Fatal Fury series, which hasn’t released a new title in over 20 years, brings with it a rich combination of iconic characters. Among the already confirmed fighters are Terry Bogard, Rock Howard, Tizoc, Hotaru Futaba, Gato, and Marco Rodrigues, promising a nostalgic experience for fans of the franchise. Additionally, the developers have hinted that there will be more surprises in the roster, opening the door to the possibility of seeing more classic or unexpected guest characters.
SNK has also announced an open beta that will take place from March 26 to March 31, 2025, giving players the opportunity to try the game before its official release. The platforms that will receive Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves include PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, allowing a wide audience to enjoy this new fighting adventure.
Almost four years have passed since the arrival of PS5 and, although it still has an audience of 49 million people, it is time for Sony to finally abandon PS4 once and for all. In fact, LEGO Horizon Adventures will be the last game they release for their already outdated console, putting an end to it 11 years after its birth. Oh, cruel fate. O tempora! O moris!
To be honest, it was expected: since God of War Ragnarok there hasn’t been a high-level game for the console, and AAA games have remained as exclusives for the next-gen. It makes sense, of course. The PS4 version of Lost Soul has been canceled and this confirms the complete transition to the fifth generation. Does this mean that we won’t see new games anymore and you have to upgrade no matter what? It depends.
Yes, Sony already believes that it’s time for you to buy a PS5, but the truth is that third parties will still milk the cow until it stops being profitable, so you can expect new games in the style of FIFA (or whatever it’s called now, EA FC Sports), NBA 2K or Call of Duty, which never fail to deliver annually and are easy to port.
Frankly, and although it may hurt PS4 owners… It was about time if they wanted to grow their customer base, which had been a bit stagnant. And it’s normal: along the way we had the Covid era and the subsequent recovery. But it’s time to evolve, even if it means incurring losses at first. We have thousands of incredible games to remember on a console that will be remembered. PS4 is dead. Long live PS4!
