J-Stars Victory VS + New Screenshots Showcase Hunter X Hunter, JoJo Characters
J-Stars Victory VS + is a dream come true for fans of manga series that have been published on Shonen Jump Magazine. The game includes a really extensive character roster featuring some really popular characters such as Son Goku from Dragon Ball and Naruto Uzumaki from Naruto but also others that, while not all well known, as just as dangerous as the Saiyan warrior and the shinobi from Konohagakure.
Two new J-Stars Victory VS + screenshots shared on the Bandai Namco Official Facebook page earlier today showcase two of these not well known but lethal characters, Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter and Joseph Joestar from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. Of the two character, only Joseph Joestar is fully playable as Hisoka is only going to be a support character. Still, this doesn’t mean that he won’t be able to obliterate opponents with some of his signature special attacks. One of the two playable characters taken from Hunter X Hunter, main character Gon Freecs, has been showcased in a gameplay video released some time ago
A new J-Stars Victory VS + trailer has emerged online last week. The video showcased an epic match between the already mentioned Naruto and Sasuke, with both characters unleashing some powerful special attacks. The third character from the Naruto series included in the game, Madara, is also shown briefly during the video.
Two more J-Stars Victory VS + screenshots have surfaced online last week, showcasing two other powerful characters who aren’t as well known as others included in the game – Raoh from Hokuto no Ken and Toguro from Yu Yu Hakusho.
J-Stars Victory VS + will be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita later this month, on June 26th in Europe. The game will be made available in North America a few days later, on June 30th. More screenshots and videos will surely emerge online soon so stay tuned for all the latest news on the game.
New World Interactive, the developer of the Insurgency series of tactical first-person shooters, has laid off an unknown number of employees as part of Embracer Group’s comprehensive restructuring plan.
Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.
Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.
Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.
Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.
In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.
When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.
More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.
PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.
Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.
Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.
The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
