Developer Capybara Games have announced there will be more Sony-centric characters coming to Super Time Force Ultra. It's already been confirmed you can play as Shuhei Yoshida, but now you'll always be able to play as the character from Journey (does he have a name?), and Sir Galahad from The Order: 1886.
Super Time Force Ultra is coming soon to PS4 & VITA... and Capy has added a couple more PlayStation exclusive team members to the mix! Capy already revealed that Shuhei Yoshida himself will be a playable character... But Shu didn't come alone.
"But Shu didn’t come alone – in fact, he brought a couple very close friends.
Everyone’s favourite nameless, berobed figure from the PlayStation hit Journey is coming along for the ride! Using grace, agility, and of course, scarves the Journey traveler offers an entirely unique way to encounter the carnage-fuelled levels of STFU.
Having rid London of beastly ghouls in the Order: 1886, Knight of the Round Table, Sir Galahad will also be suiting up with the Super Time Force. Wielding a Luger pistol and a chaotic arc rifle, Sir Galahad provides players with an electrifying jolt of action."
No release date for the game yet, but the game will be cross-buy with PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 4. Check out the full PlayStation Blog post here.
Toronto game developer Blot Interactive took to the PlayStation Blog to announce their puzzle game Bloxiq is coming to PlayStation Vita on April 14th.
"We wanted to create a whole new type of puzzle game that returned to the classic philosophy of easy to learn and difficult to master games like Intelligent Cube, Devil Dice, or Echochrome. Where there is a definite solution, instead of relying on luck to be able to progress.
Bloxiq starts with the standard concept of color matching and brings it into the third dimension. Manipulate rows or columns of blocks by sliding them around a 3D level to connect four in any direction. Sounds simple, right? One of the best feelings is when you figure out how to match blocks in intricate ways that challenge your spatial thinking."
Make sure you follow the developer on Twitter. Who's excited for the "Demon’s Souls of puzzle games"?
