The Drop: New PlayStation Games for 4/29/2014
The Drop

Enchanted realms, haunted halls, and outlandish fighters join the gaming family this week with another robust lineup of new games coming to PlayStation.

Harken, fantasy lovers, and take note: Child of Light launches this week on PS3 and PS4. This tribute to old-school JRPGs follows the melancholic story of Aurora, daughter to an Austrian duke and visitor to the strange realm of Lemuria. Lost and brave, this little hero embarks on a quest to vanquish the Black Queen and reclaim the Sun, Moon, and Stars. The developers at Ubisoft Montreal have taken great measures to ensure this is one of the prettiest games to debut in recent memory.

And for those that pine over a good scare, Daylight arrives on PS4. This procedurally generated horror game follows Sarah Gwynn as she works her way through skin-crawling environments, outrunning specters with only the light from her phone to guide her.

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

  • Bust a Move 4 is instant buy for me! Even though I already own the PSX game! =3

  • Unfortunately…

    Most of the problem here is that many people seem to view the PS Blog the same way they view the customer service counter at Kmart. You go to them with ANY issue, and 5-10 minutes later it’s fixed. Nothing more to say.

    It would be nice if there was such a thing for Sony consoles/games/digital services and this was it…but it isn’t. This isn’t much more than a PR outlet. “Hey, here’s this! Okay, I’m leaving now…”

    It must not be anyone’s job to man these comment sections and respond because…they don’t (for the most part).

    If you’re having a technical issue, contact support. Start with the Knowledge Center link at the bottom of this page.

    If you just want to rant about something — even their lack of general customer service and communication — feel free to do so here, but at least do so with the awareness it will never amount to anything or lead to an official response.

  • I’ve started replaying Suikoden 1 in anticipation of the release of Suikoden 2 as a PS1 Classic. Everyone has taken note of the ESRB rating that was taken down days later. I hope that Sony intends to capitalize on the life buzz generated over the last week. I look forward to next weeks drop and the gifts it might hold. Please release this before you hit us with Watch Dogs and Transistor.

  • Child of Light is a game with a deep story, I am very excited to play it

  • Child of Light and the Lego Hobbit demo. That is all. Unless Puppeteer is the Plus title. Then I’ll get that, too.

  • demo child of light when?

  • ^ – Tuesday, when the store updates.

  • wednesday then for us in europe.

  • Great drop! Will be busy on Tuesday.

    Child of Light – can’t wait to play this awesome rpg
    Bust-a-Move 4 – brings back memories of playing the older ones in the arcade will really like this too
    Daylight – really love playing horror games
    JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle – been reading the Jojo manga since I was a kid great series. Really love to play fighting games!
    Raiden IV: Overkill – great scrolling shooter brings back memories of playing Raiden 1 and 2 in the arcades

  • it’ll be nice if Child of Light came out for the Vita

  • My Ps1 wish list.

    Nightmare creatures 1-2
    Psychic Detective
    Fox Hunt
    D
    D-2

    I’ll admit they are somewhat odd-balls, but please consider.

    I Will be back every week until one or more of these make it to the classics selection. Til next time…

  • child of light is cross buy right?

  • Daylight demo please, I like to try before I buy.

  • Hey guys, I know The Amazing SpiderMan 2 is partly owned by Sony so why you’re releasing it on every console including 3DS and not on the Vita? Also Child of Light would be amazing on the Vita…..PLEASE the Vita needs more support, also any news about God Eater 2 getting a western release?

  • When is playstation home coming to ps4

  • Child of Light has been my most-anticipated game since your interview with the writer. Looking at the big list of PS4 games this year it just might be my most anticipated of the year.

    (Though it has stiff competition with InFamous, the only game I’ve ever been compelled to get the platinum for. I loved Second Son.)

  • Wish they would release demos for these Spidey games…anyway I’m really interested in that Raiden IV:Overkill game looks right up my alley,looks fun…also didn’t know Daylight was being released already…game has potential.

    And LMAO that rambo crap is out?….thought the devs had given up on releasing that s**t…wonder if someone will waste money on that.

  • DAYLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • +V-Angelus01 -> I can definitely relate to you on THAT, buddy! Ultimate Spider-Man (on Original Box) was my FAVORITE Spider-Man game, ever!! I love that Open-World, Free-Style Swinging!! Webs attaching to the buildings and they stay there just as they would in REALITY! I would just swing and swing for hours, also! Not a care in the world! Crime can wait! lol Especially in New York! It’s pretty much their way of life, anyhow! lol Besides all of that, the graphics were awesome in that it didn’t take itself too seriously, but looked good enough to keep us feeling like we were part of that world. The humor was awesome too! I hope the new Spider-Man game is similar. :-D

  • Hell Yeah! Yu-Gi-OH and Child of Light are SO on my to buy list this week. I guess the only thing dropping this week is my wallet funds.

  • every game should have demo.

  • I’d like to see a Yu-Gi-Oh game made for PS Vita using AR cards.

  • Can’t wait for Child of Light. Is it also on PS Vita?

  • When r we gunna see WarThunder in North America? By the time we get it European players will have a huge head start. That needs to be DROPPED on the Drop .

  • Sweetness Yugioh!! Will this also be on PS4 or PS Vita??

  • Child of Light on PS3 or PS4? What differences have? What is the Preorder DLC?

  • Awww yeah, you know I’m all over that procedural generation scare! Good stuff all around.

    I do second Federalis’ concern about War Thunder, though. It’s a really good game, I think it should be allowed to exit the testing area and taxi along to the necessary speed and then take-off.

  • What time will Child of Light be up? Can I get it at midnight? What time zone does P.S. update to the 29th?

  • Why is Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels not on Vita? This would of been a perfect TCG for the Vita.

  • Absolutely disgusting move for what you did to PS Vita consumers this past week. After the flash sale was done last weekend, you made all PS1 classics and PSP titles available for the PS Vita in North America. For two days. That’s it. No announcement on your official website or anything, just this from your Canadian Twitter account: https://twitter.com/PlayStationCA/status/458294259209469952. Brutal to treat clients like that, who have been waiting so long for certain titles to be released on the Vita: Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, the Star Wars games, etc. Absolutely shocked as a Sony and PlayStation faithful. Really sickening.

  • Really looking forward to Daylight… what time does the store update on Tuesday?

  • That Amano Child of Light artwork looks absolutely GORGEOUS.

  • Awesome week. Child of Light and Daylight, nuff said

  • Getting Child of Light fo’ sho!

  • Nothing but crap this week I”ll just keep playing burial at sea pt 2 till watch dogs comes out

  • yu-gi-oh on the vita

  • I love Cœur de pirate, wasn’t going to get Child of Light but knowing she had a hand in the music. Well that pushed me over the edge, guess I’ll go get it.

  • Will Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels will be on the PS VITA?

  • I should be surprised that the preorder I did for Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t available to download like it was promised on your store but since I’ve dealt with you clowns before on preorders I knew what to expect

    Any person that was consistently late for his job would be fired – so my question is whose head has to roll for you guys to give your paying customers what they paid for when you said you’d give it to them? I wouldn’t care so much if it wasn’t after 3 AM here and I wasn’t trying to go ahead and start the download so it’d be ready tomorrow. But now that plan’s shot because somebody can’t do their job or tell time. I’m not sure which one is the problem

  • demo is out :)

  • Hey! does anybody know when and if we are suppose to be getting any new avatars for the playstation network ? i live in canada ont btw

  • I love that Ubisoft is only charging 15 bucks fo Child of Light. Fantastic price.

    It’s just a pity that Sony has decided that 69.99 is the ‘standard’ price for full releases in Canada… they seem to be alone in not being able to release a game at 59.99 anymore.

  • Child of Light… why is everyone so enthusiastic about this game? sadly JRPGs are not the same anymore so It’s a big no no for me, perfect example of going with what’s mainstream but not necessarily good. LOL I agree with guy who said the Rambo game shouldn’t be played ONLY if you are a big fan of Rambo. Yu-Gi-Oh! well finally “decent” who stick to the coldness of konami about not bringing the best to their customers. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 I really wish I can buy this game next week.

  • when ps3 store should show it up i want to buy Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels! :/

  • Dammit. I thought I saw Dying light, now I’m sad, cause I just saw Daylight…

  • Scourge:Outbreak from X-box $9.99 3star it looks horrible

  • But troy was fun
