The dust has finally settled after an amazing week at E3 2015. And yet still the new games lineup marches on! If you’re a fan of games from Japanese developers, you’re in for quite the treat this week, with titles like BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend joining the PlayStation family.
Master the incredibly diverse (and incredibly quirky) cast of BlazBlue in the latest chapter of this lightning-fast fighter. Chrono Phantasma Extend packs in a whopping 28 playable fighters, new story mode scenarios, and a revamped guard system for even more technical matches.
Or battle with iconic characters from the Shonen Jump manga series in J-Stars Victory VS+. This fighter brings together Dragon Ball, Fist of the North Star, Hunter x Hunter, and more in a big way, so anime fans take note.
There’s lots more coming to PlayStation this week, so read on — and enjoy the Drop!

Really whats with all the jrpg games for me its a waste of a drop. If u r going to have alot of jrpgs on the drop y not add more english titles so that there is something for all. And scrabble does not count
Blazblue!!.. Assuming my order on Amazon gets a shipment date/estimate delivery tagged onto it soon.
Otherwise it’ll just be Neptunia Re;birth 3 for me this week.
@55 and we jRPG fans would say why do we rarely have jRPGs dropping?
What drops is what drops. Even if you don’t like it, someone else might.
But seriously, I’m really wondering now. Will Ar NoSurge be physical only or will there be digital also since it wasn’t announced. I’m wondering if I should go preorder a physical copy now or wait for a digital copy.
The Evil Within, Alien: Isolation, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, Beyond: Two Souls, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Portal 2 for PS Plus on the PS3. A 99 cent flash sale with Resident Evil HD, Journey, Flower, and Cubixx HD for the PS3. More demos and PS Plus Trials for the PS3. A wish list for the PS Store, Filters for the download list, An edit button as well as filters for the PS Blog. A special where we can download all the past PS Plus games for those that may of missed out. I hope my voice gets heard.
Oh, I’ve tried to find J-Stars Victory on the PSN for Playstation 4 and I could not find it =/
I’ve been trying to pre-order it and get the digital compendium and theme :(
So stoked about Red Goddess finally getting released this week. This is one of the few projects I’ve backed on KS and it seems like it was just yesterday I was thinking to myself, “Holy crap, I don’t think I can wait over a year for this!”
The world can never have too many AAA Metriodvania games and I really hope people snag Red Goddess tomorrow because the devs worked their butts off on this one.
Just read a post on the EU site that SCEE is doing something special for folks who have been paying for a Plus since it was announced 5 years ago today (Happy Birthday, by the way!). Will SCEA be doing something similar in North America (or was DriveClub PS+ the present and I missed the punchline)?
Any comment from Sony on the TechTimes .com article giving out the info from Sony that PSN can go down when a big game launches that has no multiplayer?
Isn’t this what the PS Plus money for PS4 online was supposed to be helping with for a year and a half?
I heard that Yanim Studio ripped off the guys they were working with for the Kickstarter campaign & failed to pay them for the work provided. I won’t be buying this.
Vita is the only one that will not get the compendium:
“For a limited time, purchase J-Stars Victory Vs+ for the PlayStation®Vita console, and receive a free J-Stars Victory Vs+ Theme for your console. The Digital Theme displays images of your favorite J-Stars Characters.”
Hey guys! for everyone that is trouble finding the games, i found them!!! go to the psn store, go all the way to the right on the “spotlight” tab, hit “ps4 games, see more”, and then hit the filter button to games that where released in the last 7 days! hope this helps if you are having trouble finding the games!
I’m sorry, but what games are we getting for free this month? Because all I see if Metal Gear (again) and that Shogun game. All the games listed here you actually have to buy, what gives?
Why are 30 year old games $8? They should be $1-$2 at the most.
I agree with the other posters that the blog needs to restore the price lists . Microsoft also stupidly posts ‘33% discount” during sales which is useless unless you post the regular price next to it. Or, event better put the regular price next to the discounted price so customers can see how much money that they are saving , no calculator required!
Will Quiplash be a standalone game or DLC for the JackBox Party Pack?
It is standalone.
