The best of both worlds in Persona 5 Strikers

Fans of the Dynasty Warriors series and the Persona series unite! Persona 5 Strikers is an action role-playing game that features gameplay elements from both Koei Tecmo’s hack and slash games and Atlus’ role-playing games. In Persona 5 Strikers, we follow Joker and the Phantom Thieves of Hearts in their investigation of mysterious events all over Japan. This story takes place shortly after the events of Persona 5, the sixth installment in the Persona series. Fans of this franchise will be happy to know that Persona 5 Strikers features the classic turn-based battling of the Persona games, as well as the fan-favorite stealth and puzzle mechanics. On the other hand, Dynasty Warriors fans will encounter more than enough hack and slash combat for their needs. Launch surprise attacks on unsuspecting enemies or knock them down for an All-Out Attack that will finish the job. As the Joker, you’re able to wield multiple Personas to stop the corruption in the streets. Unlock more Personas by defeating mini-bosses and form a party of up to four members. You can even fuse Personas to create completely new ones. Persona 5 Strikers is the most stylish and explosive action RPG for the new year!

Experience off-road racing like never before in Dirt 5

The next generation of off-road racing is here with Dirt 5. This bold arcade racing game features countless iconic sprint cars, rock bouncers, muscle cars and buggies for you to blaze a trail. Discover over 70 routes across the globe, from the frozen tracks in New York to routes under the stunning northern lights of Norway. There’s fun for everyone with a narrative-based Career mode, an action-packed multiplayer mode and a brand new Playgrounds mode. The Career mode features choice-driven progression, real-world sponsors and characters voiced by Nolan North and Troy Baker. The online multiplayer mode offers plenty of excitement for more competitive racers. Lastly, the Playgrounds mode lets you create your very own custom racing arena, pushing your favorite vehicles to the limit. You can even invite your friends for a local split-screen race with support for up to four players. Aside from these game modes, Dirt 5 offers a true next-generation racing experience with a 120 frames per second option, faster loading, better graphics and haptic feedback. The game even features dynamic weather systems and seasons that affect your race. Experience true off-road racing with Dirt 5!

Space Dwarves versus alien monsters in Deep Rock Galactic

Teamwork is key in Deep Rock Galactic! This cooperative sci-fi shooter is brand new to PlayStation consoles and features thrilling gameplay for up to four players. Team up with your friends and work together to explore 100% destructible environments while fending off against alien monsters. You take on the role of one of four space dwarf classes to complete a variety of missions such as mining minerals, eliminating targets and stealing alien eggs. Become an Engineer and support your team with a deployable sentry gun, a shotgun and a grenade launcher. Fancy some more shooting? Pick the Gunner class and fire your minigun and revolver to decimate any alien monsters in sight. The Driller class is equipped with a flamethrower and a handy satchel charge that carves out large parts of the terrain. Last but not least, there’s the Scout class. The Scout gathers valuable information for the team with a flare gun that spots ore veins and enemies and a grappling hook that allows him to find hidden ores. Whichever dwarf you end up picking, you’re bound to have a good time with your friends in Deep Rock Galactic!
