Cryptark Coming To PlayStation 4 June 20th
/It was released on Steam almost two years ago, and then announced for PlayStation 4 a few days later, but now Alientrap's 2D Sci-fi Roguelike shooter Cryptark is coming to PlayStation 4 later this month on June 20th. Creative Director at Alientrap Jesse McGibney took to the PlayStation Blog to talk a little bit about the game:
In Cryptark, making money by scrapping spacecraft is the name of the game! You and your motley crew of mercenary privateers will have to blast into heavily defended alien derelicts, survive waves of cyber-skeleton attack drones, and surgically pick apart security systems with strategy and absurdly weaponized mech-suits (all while staying within budget, of course)!

Embers of Mirrim From Creative Bytes Studios Out Later This Month
/Announced earlier this year, Creative Bytes Studios' Embers of Mirrim will be coming out to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam May 23rd.
As you can see from the gameplay above, Embers of Mirrim is an adventure platformer, where you play as a mystical creature able to split. You can check out the PlayStation blog, where Design Director Frank Knezic went over a little bit about developing the "splitting" mechanic in the game:
Embers of Mirrim began as a simple idea. What if a player had the ability to switch back and forth between classic platforming and twin stick controls? We called this core mechanic “splitting:” you start as a traditional platforming character and then ‘split’ into two other characters, each independently controlled with the left and right analog sticks. We ran with this idea and developed it into a simple prototype room (think grey boxes and spheres) to answer some fundamental questions about “splitting:” How does the player decide when to split? What buttons do they use? How and where do the split characters re-combine? How do the split characters move? Is this actually fun?!
We'll have to wait next week to find out how deep the spliting feature goes, but we'll be sure to play it on our Youtube page.
Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, And South Park Coming From Ubisoft In 2017-2018
/Ubisoft had their annual earnings call recently and said that the next Assassin's Creed game, Far Cry 5, The Crew 2, and South Park will be released during their next fiscal year which ends March 31, 2018.
Our friends over at Ubisoft Toronto don't have any new updates on their site, but had previously worked on Assassin's Creed with Unity, and Far Cry with the 4th installment, and Primal. We'll probably have to wait an see until E3 to see these games in action, and which (if any) is Ubisoft Toronto working on specifically.
