It’s especially remarkable when a single fantasy novel manages to create a fully realized and satisfying story. The best ones build intricate worlds, compelling characters, and well-developed magic systems without feeling rushed. These books stay with you long after you finish reading, often prompting you to revisit them. From timeless classics like Tolkien’s work to more recent independent publications exploring difficult themes, these standalones are all highly rated and stand out as exceptional stories.

PlayStation’s recent State of Play presentation announced that Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is on its way. Originally released 13 years ago as the last game in the Legacy of Kain series for the PlayStation 2, Defiance proved popular despite being different from the Soul Reaver games. The remastered version will arrive surprisingly soon, on March 3rd. For now, it’s confirmed for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, but it’s expected to become available on Nintendo, Xbox, and PC in the future.

So, PlayStation’s State of Play just dropped a trailer for a new John Wick game! It doesn’t have a proper title yet, but it’s confirmed it’s heading to PS5… eventually. No release date yet, but I’m already hyped!

The most remarkable thing about this character is their shape-shifting weapon, the Aberrant. It helps them navigate the chaotic streets of Manhattan and can change into different forms for combat. It can become a massive sword or hammer to deal heavy damage, or even a powerful fist to send enemies flying.

The preview shows a fight between two popular characters from Dead or Alive: Kasumi and Ryu Hayabusa. Fans will also spot that Ryu has a new look, similar to the one he had in last year’s Ninja Gaiden 4.

I was so excited to hear from Ember Studios at today’s State of Play! Josh and Mike Grier announced their new game, and they seem really determined to make it even more amazing than their previous work. Plus, it’s awesome that they’re partnering with PlayStation Studios for the sound design – that’s a huge step and I’m already anticipating a fantastic audio experience!

We spoke with Mike Booth, the game director and Chief Creative Officer at Bad Robot Games, and he stressed their commitment to making a unique game. This was a big challenge, as there are already many cooperative shooter games available.
