Deathloop, the upcoming shooter from Dishonored developer Arkane Studios, has been delayed from its original May release date to September. The reasoning for this, according to Arkane Lyon, is to allow the team more time to polish the game and make sure it's in the best possible state for launch. We imagine the setbacks surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic may have also factored into their decision to delay the product.

"We’ll be using this extra time to accomplish our goal: create a fun, stylish, and mind-bending player experience. We apologise for the extended wait and thank you all for your passion and excitement," said Arkane. Deathloop is described as a murder puzzle shooter following an assassin who is trapped in a time loop. Before each day resets, the assassin must attempt to kill eight targets using a range of modifiable weapons and tools. Progress is carried over into each loop, meaning there's a steady progression of learning new skills and abilities, and earning new weapons to make your job a whole lot easier. Before the Xbox acquisition of Bethesda (and its subsidiary studios, including Arkane), Deathloop was part of a timed exclusivity deal, where it will spend a year as a PS5 console exclusive. The deal still stands despite the Xbox acquisition - similarly, Tango Gameworks' Ghostwire: Tokyo will also go through the same PS5 timed exclusivity deal. Both games will still launch on PC on their respective release dates. Deathloop now releases on September 14th, 2021 for PS5 and PC.

Naughty Dog's The Last of Us was one of the biggest games of the last decade, telling the story of the bond between Joel and Ellie as they attempt to survive in the post-apocalypse following a deadly virus outbreak that crippled the world. The game's success spawned a sequel last year in The Last of Us Part II, which gained plenty of awards though had a divisive reception from the public. It seems like Sony isn't ready to give up on The Last of Us yet, though, as a PlayStation 5 remake is now reportedly in the works. More importantly, it marks a big change at PlayStation. READ MORE: Review: Outriders According to a recent article by Bloomberg, Sony is now working on a PS5 remake for 2013's The Last of Us. The game already received a PS4 upgrade in the form of The Last of Us Remastered, but from what we understand, this will be a full-blown remake. Bloomberg drops a few more bombs about what's currently happening behind the scenes at Sony, though. Apparently Bend Studio's Days Gone will not receive a sequel, either due to production issues or the game just not performing well enough critically. The pitch for a sequel was apparently shut down, leading to many developers exiting the studio. Sony's focus seems to be on developing big titles by big teams, prioritizing that above all else. This shift in Sony's development ideals means they'll gear towards making large-scaled blockbuster titles now. The article by Jason Schreier goes into further detail about these big changes happening at Sony right now. He argues that with an emphasis on making high-profile blockbuster video games, PlayStation is essentially causing some unrest within the PlayStation brand. Recently, several veteran developers left Sony following the closure of Japan Studio, which may have been a result of these business changes. As a final little bit of information, it seems that a new Uncharted game was (or still is) actually on the table at Naughty Dog, with Days Gone developer Bend Studio assisting with it at one point, though they've since detached from the project to work on their own new game. However, Schreier clarified that he doesn't know if the game is still in development, as it was "all on paper" at Bend. As with all reports, take this with a grain of salt until confirmation from PlayStation. What do you make of these changes happening at PlayStation?

Bandai Namco's shounen all-star royal rumble Jump Force may have had a rocky launch, but it has come a very long way in providing various new characters across the large spectrum of beloved shounen fighters. After one successful season pass, the second season pass now comes to an end with the inclusion of a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure character - and fittingly so. Golden Wind protagonist Giorno Giovanna has joined the ranks of fighters now available in Jump Force, and owners of the second season pass have early access to the character. READ MORE: Review: Outriders Giorno Giovanna is planned to launch on April 13th, but is now available in early access for season pass 2 owners of Jump Force (check your time zones for the availability). The character is well-known as the protagonist of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5: Golden Wind, as well as being the son of the series' central villain, Dio Brando. So far, Jump Force includes two JoJo's characters in the forms of Stardust Crusaders' Jotaro Kujo and Dio Brando, with Giorno being the third character from the popular shounen series to join the rankings - complete with his own stand, the awesome Gold Experience Requiem. Giorno Giovanna quickly became a fan-favourite character in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as the main character of Golden Wind. His stand retains his father's notorious "Muda" attacks, but also allows its user to transform inanimate objects into natural life, and use them against opponents. The character design, above all, caught the attention of the fan base as being strikingly, well, over-the-top. His moveset in the game reflects his physical and transformative abilities from the anime and manga, which certainly makes for an interesting mix-up of a fighter. If you'd like to take Giorno out for a spin in Jump Force, he'll be available on April 13th as a standalone DLC character, or part of the season two pass. Jump Force is now available for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
