This week's selection of PSN deals may have seemed rather slim, but those aren't the only discounts you can find in the PlayStation Store right now. Sony has now kicked off another limited-time flash sale for PS4, PS3, and Vita, giving you a chance to pick up some great games on each platform for cheap.
With Destiny 2's latest Faction Rally underway, the mysterious merchant Xur has reared his unsettling face once again on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. He has a selection of Exotic items for sale, as always, along with a special Engram and a way to boost your chances of securing additional Exotics. Here's exactly what Xur is selling this week and where to find him.
With this week's Flashpoint on Mercury, Xur has taken up residence on the Tower, where anyone (DLC owner or not) can find him, provided they've finished the campaign. He's in his usual spot on the right side of map, just behind where the Dead Orbit Faction is set up. A staircase just behind that area will lead you right up to Xur.
In terms of items, Xur as always offers the Fated Engram. Although pricey at 97 Legendary Shards, this is guaranteed to reward you with an Exotic you don't already own. The Three of Coins is another option and will boost the likelihood of obtaining an Exotic item drop for four hours. Each class gets one piece of (non-Curse of Osiris) Exotic armor, while the weapon up for grabs is the Tractor Cannon. This Exotic Shotgun, which resembles Portal's Portal Gun, is worth the price of admission alone for its ability to hilariously knock enemies back (and right off the level, if you're positioned correctly). Here's everything for sale:
Den of Thieves, the new heist movie starring Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and 50 Cent, hits theaters today, January 19. GameSpot can now reveal a new clip from the Los Angeles action movie that shows Butler and Schreiber's characters having a tense talk. These two are on a warpath, it seems, and the back-and-forth in this scene is fun to watch.
You can check out the full clip for yourself in the embed above.
GameSpot's Michael Rougeau praised the performances of Butler and Schreiber, calling Den of Thieves a "gritty, realistic, and engrossing LA heist movie," albeit with some flaws. You can read GameSpot's full Den of Thieves review here.
Remember We Happy Few, the BioShock-inspired survival game that entered Early Access back in 2016? Developer Compulsion Games is still working on it, but today it announced that the game's full launch has been delayed until Summer 2018.
Compulsion revealed that the game is now content complete, but it needs a bit more polish and refinement before it's ready to be released. Specifically, the studio is working on implementing "major improvements" to the beginning of the story for Arthur, one of the playable characters in the game.
We Happy Few's producer, Sam Abbott, explained, "There are these moments that are memorable, very funny, and super weird and we're really excited to show you all. But we felt that the first two hours of Arthur's story just didn't live up to those moments, meaning that the game didn't start as well as it should."
In addition, Compulsion addressed feedback from fans who said that the game's Early Access price was too high. The Early Access version has been available to anyone who pre-purchased the game on Steam. Since it's essentially a preorder, Compulsion set this version at $51, the price it expects the final game to cost; as a result, some fans complained that it was too high of a price for an unfinished game.
In response, Compulsion is offering refunds to all Steam players, regardless of playtime. In addition, it is disabling the pre-purchase option on Steam and will re-enable it when the game is closer to launch. You can learn more about the current state of the game in Compulsion's developer update video above.
We Happy Few will be available this summer on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In the game, you assume the role of one of three characters who refuses to take their hallucinogenic "happy pills" and has to somehow break out of the town. Check out some gameplay from We Happy Few in the embed at the top of this article.
Arc System Works' highly-anticipated fighting game, Dragon Ball FighterZ, is almost here. The cel-shaded 2.5D fighter follows a 3v3 format similar to Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and it's packed with Easter eggs and references for Dragon Ball fans to find. Here, we're collecting all the details you need to know about Dragon Ball FighterZ, from the release date to gameplay, tips, and more.
We'll continue to update this feature with the review, guides, and more as they're published, so stay tuned!
The roster primarily includes Dragon Ball Z characters, though there are a few introduced in the recent Dragon Ball Super--including Goku Black, Beerus, and Hit--and an entirely new character, the mysterious Android 21, who is locked behind completion of the story mode.
What About The Story Mode?
Dragon Ball FighterZ includes a new story mode that takes place after the end of Dragon Ball Z and sometime during the events of Dragon Ball Super. The new character, Android 21, seems to play a major part in the story.
Note that in any mode, you can opt to use either the Japanese or English voice acting.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's previous two video games, 50 Cent: Bulletproof and 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, are two of the most fascinating licensed games ever made. Naturally, the rapper, actor, and producer has ideas for a third game--which he'd be willing to make, as long as it's "unique."
"Definitely I'm interested," 50 Cent told GameSpot during an interview to promote the new movieDen of Thieves. "I may do something based on the concept that I developed for Tomorrow, Today."
First revealed last summer, Tomorrow, Today is an upcoming show on Starz (where 50 Cent already stars in and executive produces the show Power) reportedly about a veteran who gains super powers after being experimented on by a mad prison doctor. Little is known about the show besides that synopsis, however.
"It's definitely a cool idea," 50 Cent said. "And it gives people the ability to do things that they wouldn't be able to do."
He said whatever shape his next game takes, "you have to be extreme."
"I just have to find the right concept," he continued. "Everything I touch, I want to be unique. I want it to be special. And I put thought into it, because those things will be here longer than I would...when I come up with [another game], I want to make sure it's something we enjoy for a long time."
Den of Thieves hits theaters January 19. Read GameSpot's review and our interview with one of the movie's other stars, O'Shea Jackson Jr.
The long-missing Cyberpunk 2077 finally reemerged with a recent one-word tweet, presumably a hint that developer CD Projekt Red will have more to say in the near future. It's a very small thing, but it's enough to release Cyberpunk from our missing games list after three straight years of nothing.
However, not all games are so lucky; there are quite a few that we've heard very little about in years, some announced ages ago and others only hinted at with no official word. These games haven't been canceled outright, either, leaving them in limbo. From the Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Borderlands 3 and beyond, these are the biggest missing games we're still waiting to hear more (or anything) about.
EA shuttered developer Visceral Games last October, putting the status of its Amy Hennig-led Star Wars game up in the air. It's not clear what will change about the game as it continues development elsewhere--EA's Patrick Soderlund said the company "needed to pivot the design"--but it's not canceled outright.
There's also Titanfall developer Respawn's Star Wars game, which was announced on May the 4th, 2016. We know it's supposed to be an "all-new third-person action adventure game set in the Star Wars universe," but that's about it. EA purchased Respawn in November 2017, and that announcement didn't come with an update on the untitled Star Wars game.
A remake of Resident Evil 2 was confirmed in 2015, a year after a fan-made version was first shown off. (Capcom even asked for feedback on the fan-made remake.) The team behind the Resident Evil HD Remaster was to tackle 2, but the last we heard from them was in April 2016, when producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi discussed the impact of Resident Evil 6 feedback on the remake project. We still don't know if the Resident Evil 2 Remake will retain the original's camera angles or adopt the newer styles, even.
Phantom Dust
Phantom Dust has entered its fourth year running on our missing games list with no sign of news any time soon. The reboot of the 2005 Xbox game of the same name was first announced at E3 2014, but its original developer, Darkside Game Studios, closed down the following February. We saw some leaked gameplay footage in 2015 and got confirmation that the game wasn't dead, but we still haven't heard anything since. That said, a separate Phantom Dust re-release with slight improvements arrived in May 2017.
Allison Road
Allison Road has had a rough journey. The fan project was supposed to be a spiritual successor to P.T. and promised to fill the void left behind by Silent Hills. It was originally on Kickstarter before abandoning crowdfunding in favor of publisher Team17, and it was canceled in June. Allison Road was then revived in August by its creator, who formed a new studio to continue development, which means Team17 is no longer publishing it.
So Allison Road technically came back from the dead, but we haven't heard anything else about it since. All we have to remember it by is a small amount of gameplay footage.
Tekken x Street Fighter
Tekken x Street Fighter was announced in 2010 for PS3 and Xbox 360, and it's been kind of a mystery ever since. Producer Katsuhiro Harada assured fans in 2014 and reiterated in 2015 that the crossover fighting game wasn't canceled. However, in April 2016, Harada revealed that Tekken x Street Fighter was "no longer in active development" and that publisher Bandai Namco was waiting for "the right time" to release it.
GameSpot reached out for comment in 2016, and at the time, Bandai Namco said the team was focusing on Tekken 7, which came out in 2017. When we reached out again for this feature, Bandai Namco told us that the Tekken team is focused on Tekken 7 DLC--which means we'll probably have to wait longer for an update on the crossover. It's worth noting, however, that Street Fighter's Akuma is a character in Tekken 7, so the two styles are definitely merge-able.
Dead Island 2
Zombie survival game Dead Island 2 came out of the gate with a very memorable trailer at E3 2014--and memorable is good, since we've heard so little since. The game's original spring 2015 release window was later delayed to 2016, and then it lost its developer, Yager, in July 2015. Still, publisher Deep Silver assured us it wasn't canceled.
There's been no news on Dead Island 2 since March 2016, when it was announced that LittleBigPlanet 3 developer Sumo Digital had taken over the game's development. Last we heard, Dead Island 2 is set in California and will have four playable characters and eight-player co-op.
Battlecry
Battlecry, a MOBA-like with historical inspirations and a focus on melee combat, was announced in 2014. Developer Battlecry Studios, which was created with the express purpose of creating a multiplayer arena game, apparently put extra effort into designing the female warrior with care.
Battlecry had a trailer and even signups for a global beta in 2015, but publisher Bethesda expressed concerns about its quality. It's been two years and we haven't heard anything--good or bad--about the game.
Deep Down
Now in its third year on our missing games list, PS4 Souls-like Deep Down was revealed in 2013. It didn't disappear right away; we got details and trailers up through TGS 2014, and it was supposed to have a public beta in early 2015.
It wouldn't be a missing games list without Agent! The Cold War-era espionage game was teased way, way back in 2007 and announced in 2009 as a PS3 exclusive from Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar North. Since then, the game hasn't been canceled, but it's barely more than a murmur.
What's being called Borderlands 3 hasn't actually been announced, but it's been heavily hinted at. In January 2015, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford tweeted that the developer was recruiting for the "next Borderlands game." (He specifically said that it was "the big one.") Since then, Pitchford has continued to dance around an official announcement; he instead gave a few more details in April 2016 and confirmed that it was in the works, and he tweets sly hints from time to time.
BioShock Creator Ken Levine's Untitled Game
BioShock creator Ken Levine appeared on NPR at the end of 2015 and discussed general design goals for his next game--it's supposed to be highly replayable. Levine also described it as a "small-scale open-world game" with a sci-fi theme. As far as anyone knows, the mystery game is still happening.
Half-Life 3
We pretty much have to mention Half-Life 3, even long after it hit peak meme status and transcended to the realm of "never going to happen." Half-Life 2: Episode 3 was announced back in 2006 but never materialized; it also wasn't canceled, either. In a Reddit AMA in early 2017, Valve boss Gabe Newell said there was still a possibility of more games in the Half-Life/Portal universe, so that's something. And there's also the leaked story summary from former Valve writer Marc Laidlaw, which confirms nothing but is a wild read.
PS4 had tons of triumphs in 2017, with platform exclusives like Persona 5 and Horizon Zero Dawn gaining critical acclaim and legions of fans. It looks like it's full steam ahead for Sony in 2018, with many more PlayStation 4 exclusives on the books. To get a look at some of the gameplay that's in store for the coming year, check out the video above.
As far as blockbuster releases, Spider-Man is set to be one of the biggest for the console in 2018. The game will be packed with lots of physics-defying action that promises to be a delight for fans of the series. God of War will be back, with this entry into the series taking Kratos to a land dominated by Nordic gods and monsters. Another epic title, PS2's Shadow of the Colossus, will get a remake on PlayStation 4.
Detroit: Become Human is coming this year, too. The new project from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream and director David Cage allows you to shape the outcome of the story based on your choices during calm and intense scenes. The game will explore the relationships between people and artificial intelligence in a world where robots look and sound exactly like humans. If you're in the mood for something straight up scary, instead, survival horror game Days Gone, about a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world, is coming this year.
The free beta is live now and runs until 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET on January 21 (that's 2 AM GMT / 12 PM AEST on January 22). If you've played one of the game's other two betas, you can simply use the same client to play this one; those who haven't played before will need to download the 5.5 GB client afresh.
Monster Hunter World's first beta was conducted in early December, exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS4. A second beta followed later in the month for all PS4 owners consisting of the same two areas and three monsters to hunt: the Great Jagras, Anjanath, and Barroth. All of that will be present in this final beta, but you'll also get to square off against World's flagship monster, the Nergigante.
Nergigante is an Elder Dragon and the monster featured on World's box art. The full game also sees the return of several other Elder Dragons, as well as the introduction of some new ones, which are showcased in World's new trailer.
Hot on the heels of this month's Batman movie Gotham by Gaslight, another animated DC feature is set to arrive later this year. This one focuses on the classic supervillain team Suicide Squad, and a first trailer for Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay has been released.
The movie features Mr Robot star Christian Slater as Deadshot, with voiceover veteran Tara Strong as Harley Quinn and Vanessa Williams as Amanda Waller. Check the trailer out below:
A synopsis has also been released. It reads: "Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay finds Amanda Waller's top secret Task Force X--Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Killer Frost, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn and Copperhead--on a mission to retrieve a mystical object so powerful that they're willing to risk their own lives to steal it. But the Suicide Squad isn't the only group of villains seeking to possess the object. The race is on for the golden prize.. and, to stay alive, second place isn't an option."
Like Gotham by Gaslight and 2016's animated Batman hit The Killing Joke, Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay will carry an R-rating. The film does not yet have a release date, but it is expected later in the year.
In terms of DC's live-action movies, Suicide Squad 2 is to start production later this year. The movie will be directed by The Accountant's Gavin O'Connor. It has also been rumored that it might feature Ben Affleck's final appearance as Batman.
Bungie's newest weekly blog post went up today. And while it is light on details about what's coming next to Destiny 2, the studio did take time to address the feedback regarding the changes Bungie made to how Faction Rallies work in the game's Season 2.
Bungie started off by acknowledging that a bug in the previous iteration of Faction Rallies that allowed players to, in some circumstances, earn tokens faster than they should have been able to. Destiny 2's December 12 update added Faction token rewards to a system that, in turn, locked some users out of picking up Lost Sector rewards. Bungie is going to change things up again, in part because this solution was "too disruptive."
"We have heard player feedback that this solution was too disruptive," Bungie said. "We're looking at a change that won't make players feel forced to run to and from a single chest for hours while also not placing a hard stop on enjoying Lost Sectors. We want to ensure that every time you open a chest there is loot inside."
More details on Bungie's new plans to address this will be announced before the next Faction Rallies event kicks off.
"It was not made clear beforehand that the new Season 2 weapons would be added throughout the events of the Season rather than all at once in the beginning," Bungie said. "This was on us. No excuses. We will be remedying this lapse in communication next week with details on what you should expect when the next Iron Banner rolls out in Season 2."
Faction Rally is the first big event of the year for Destiny 2, with the first Iron Banner of Season 2 set to arrive on January 30. That's also when we'll see the release of Masterwork armor, with numerous other additions and changes--including those to Eververse and quality-of-life improvements--still to come.
