The Drop: New PlayStation Releases for March 11th, 2014
The Drop

Steel yourself. One of the most punishing names in gaming makes a brutal return to PlayStation this week, igniting a joyous fire in the hearts of hardcore RPG fans. Dark Souls II comes to PS3 this week, bearing the haunting aesthetics and teeth-gnashing difficulty that gamers have come to expect. Wield swords, shields, crackling spells, and powerful potions in an effort to thwart death itself.

For those interested in the competitive side of gaming, look no further than TowerFall Ascension, which hits PS4 on Tuesday. This addictive multiplayer arena pits archers against each other in heart-pounding battles where a single arrow can spell the difference between victory and defeat. With blissfully simple play and enormously rich strategies, TowerFall Ascension celebrates the thrill of couch competition. Ascension also features brand new Quest and Trials modes for a more robust experience.

For a complete list of games coming to PlayStation this week, read on. And enjoy the Drop!

  • Towerfall time on PS4 baby oh yeah!!! soo pumped.

  • I’ve been holding off on whether or not I need another controller for my PS4, but I think that TowerFall is going to sell me on it! This, then FFX HD for my Vita and inFamous Second Son next week, it’s a good month to be a PS player. Beyond!

  • I think tower fall here I come, great drop spectacular!!!!!!

  • @Nixie_Knox I’m not saying Nintendo is terrible. I just think the Wii U will never stand a chance on the market and that’s what I’m trying to tell that troll. Plus, I do own one console from them and I think it’s beats all of Nintendo’s latest consoles. And that’s the N64. That system is like a prized gem to me as there’s so many variations/colors of N64 controllers and systems. I feel that the Wii U needs something like that. If it ever does, I’ll take my words back.

    Also, I think Nintendo is the best when it comes to handhelds. Used to had a DS before it got stolen and had to move to Sony with the PSP.

  • as a die hard Sony PSVITA fan i’m beginning to wonder why i bought one in the first place? i payed a premium price for the device at launch because i though games like madden, killzone, NFS, Uncharted and other good games was what i could expected! but instead Sony is killing me with all these indie titles that i could play on my phone. but a bought a vita thinking it was made for hard core gamers. maybe im not clear what that term means anymore. while im not expecting my vita to mirror every game made for my PS3 or PS4. i had only hoped that one good title here, one title good there would not be asking for much. i truly understand the red tape with Devs, and companies having to see the need to make games for the vita. but i was misinformed, thinking that Sony had already secured these relationship. but i see now that the only games i can expect are iphone type games. i only wished when you released these indie title games that you wouldn’t hype them up like they are major blockbusters! we are going backwards in gaming!, i started with the atari and it looks as though we are headed back that way!!! no disrespect to the indie dev intended but i just thought my premium device was going to offer me more…….

  • can anyone tell me how big the Dark Soul 2 download is going to be? gotta make room on my system hoping to do so before it’s released any info would be nice ty

  • Ok so the store said when I preordered dark souls 2 that I could start the download at 12:01 am the release date. Well here I am it’s almost 1am and it just keeps downloading the theme. This is a little ridiculous the only reason I preordered through psn is because it said I could do that. I was expecting to be able to download it and play it when I woke up. That is the definition of false advertisement Sony. If you can’t deliver don’t advertise it. I could’ve preordered it at Wal-Mart and I would be playing right now.

  • @danieljedi420 It said 12:01 am PST which is 3 am EST

  • @ bubbaloc

    Now that’s how you do constructive criticism. Thanks for being respectful.

    Take notes, whiners. Bubbaloc just showed you how to do it right.

  • i just wanna lay this out for all these people talking crap about playstations “atari ‘games’ ” theyre GAMES not a CG MOVIE, its not all about the aesthetics (looks for those of you who dont know) of it, it can look beautiful and be crap. and for all the attempted blows about “ohhh well xb1 has titanfall, and titanfall this and that and im all over titanfalls metaphorical phallus and its so far that up there that its in my frontal lobe so i cant see anything logical” xb1 BOUGHT titanfall, and its a last resort draw of luck, the game could very well be terrible and the xb1 could fail miserably and then all you will have is shattered pride, stop throwing blows at a company thats giving everyone a chance to get the things

  • they want to make out to the world. the big budget games are literally right around the corner and all you keep saying is “GIVE ME NOW, I WANT FINISHED PRODUCT AND I WANT IT EARLY AND BLAH BLAH BLAH” you saw what happened with battlefield 4? thats because of companies that follow the same principals that Microsoft and the xbox consoles do: we want money, we dont give a flying F%#@ about the quality of the image that the developer wanted to make, just polish this turd and throw some sparkle on it” if thats what you want, throw in the extra 100 or so bucks and play titanfall and go on with your lives, you impatient, ungrateful, snobbish and spoiled rotten grown babies

  • Oh look… another arrogant little squirt who wants to step up and doesn’t realize what he’s getting himself into… heh heh…

    Are you sure you wanna do this?

  • @Sony – what is the problem with PSN and preorders?????? I’ve had multiple problems getting what paid for on time and problems getting complete orders. I preordered Dark Souls 2 from PSN and it said that I would be able to download at 12 midnight Pacific time. I wasn’t able to download til an hour later. Add to that I was supposed to get the Black Armor Weapons set. It’s not in my download list!!!!!!!!

    I am so sick of the level of incompetence with PSN. I don’t have problems with Steam. I don’t have problems with Origin even though they’re one of the worst digital distribution services out there. Why can’t you guys get your act together???? Why do I have to keep contacting support over and over and over again????

    Looks like I’ll have to start spending my money on something other than your busted service

  • Too piggyback on this, once Sony finally decided to grace me with my purchase which I had paid for in advance due to their promised time of download which they once again blew, I am greeted with a lack of my promised Black Armour download as well. WTF is that at Sony? Awesome that I spent money in advance on PSN based on two things, a midnight release and the Black Armour preorder bonus, and you failed at delivering both. What is it going to take to get Sony’s ass in gear and these issues fixed?

  • @generalidiotsimo13 Nah, you’re the only moron here.

    Just ignore him, Primero. He’s just an arrogant little squirt like you said. He can’t even state his opinions right.

  • I thought Atelier Escha is out today? why is it’s not in Playstation Store yet?

  • Still waiting for Tomb Raider Chronicles ( PSOne Classic ).

  • + Jays1Fan: I’ve seen your posts for a while now. Tomb Raider Chronicles has been available in the EU store since January of 2011. Doesn’t help you much to know that, and it might just aggravate you further…except if you’re that wild about buying a digital copy, you should make a EU account. Costs nothing, and then you would just have to buy a card/code online to pay for your game on the EU store. I’m sure you could find other stuff to buy with the remaining amount in your wallet.

    Of course it would be nice if they just added it here (NA), but after 3+ years it may not be in the cards. Especially since all the other PS1 TRs were added in Summer/Fall 2009.

    Either way, good luck to you.

  • Still waiting for Atelier Escha & Logy that was suppose to be released today on psn store, and come on guys Final fantasy X/X-2 has been avaliable for pre order on psn eu for a long time, why we cant pre order this game too?

  • @ PrimeroIncognito
    thank you for your support!!!

  • How about s specific time for the store updates its kinda crappy waiting all day for it its almost 9pm wtf is taking so long

  • Why is Dark Souls 2 available but Atelier not. This is highly disappointing :(

  • I love you sony but i dont get why dark souls 2 is not coming to ps4. My choices are ps3 and pc…Guess which one im gonna buy it for.

  • This is getting kind of silly. 1 am and the store still hasn’t been updated. I appreciate that Dark Souls 2 made it on there at least, but where are the weekly deals?

  • It’s 11am EST on the 12th and still no update. =(

  • @ bubbaloc

    No problem, homey.

  • Still not updated. This is more than “a few hours”, Sony. Over 24 hours late!

  • Dark Souls II
