We can’t thank you enough for your continued support and enthusiasm for PlayStation Heroes, and today I am thrilled to announce that WWE Superstar John Cena will be our next PlayStation Hero.

Participate in the PlayStation Heroes program this month and support Make-A-Wish Foundation by purchasing this month’s Wrestling Ring theme for the opportunity to win an exclusive WWE experience in New York where you’ll get to play WWE 2K16 before it launches with WWE Superstar John Cena!

Earlier this month, PlayStation Heroes winner James Sorensen won the ultimate E3 experience, including a trip to LA to play some of the biggest games from E3 against PlayStation’s own Shuhei Yoshida and Adam Boyes, as well as seats at our press conference and a behind-the-scenes booth tour. Check out James’ one-of-a-kind PlayStation Heroes experience:

You have until August 4th to enter for a chance to play WWE 2K16 with John Cena and support Make-A-Wish Foundation. So what are you waiting for? Enter right now.

Ninety percent of the purchase price of each PlayStation Heroes Theme will benefit Make-A-Wish, a charity that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. For more information about Make-A-Wish, visit wish.org.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Making a purchase will not increase your chance of winning. The purchases are not tax deductible. The promotion period is from June 30, 2015 1:00PM PST through August 4, 2015 1:00PM PST. Must be a legal resident of the U.S. and 18 years old to participate. A second purchase of the same theme is not allowed. Entrants who purchase a “Silver”, “Gold”, or “Platinum” theme cannot purchase the “Heroic Bundle” during the promotion period. Limit 30 entries for a chance to win. Void where prohibited. See the PARTICIPATE tab in the PlayStation Heroes App or http://ift.tt/1bjBCTR for Official Rules.

Shovel Knight – Physical Version Coming to a Store Near You!

It’s been a year since Shovel Knight dug into the hearts of people everywhere. Can you believe it? With more than 700,000 copies sold and over 100 awards including many Game of the Year accolades, Shovel Knight’s phenomenal success is something we never dreamed possible. Now, we’re ready to take the next step: into the REAL WORLD!

That’s right! We’ve heard the demand, and now we have our biggest megaton announcement yet:

Shovel Knight is coming to retail.

North America AND Europe: October 13, 2015
$19.99 MSRP
Available on PlayStation 4

Pre-Orders should be live at your favorite retailer: Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Gamestop, Amazon… you name it! To make as big of a splash as possible, and to let retailers know that they need to stock up, you should definitely pre-order now! We’d consider it a huge personal favor; thanks in advance!

What’s in the box?!
The physical version of Shovel Knight contains everything we’ve released so far. First, there is the original Shovel Knight campaign with all the content you know and love! Also included is Shovel Knight’s first Content Update: Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows. Finally, there’s a full-featured Challenge mode with more than 50 crazy challenge levels to explore!

Of course, like the digital version, every boxed version will also receive FREE future updates as they become available:

• Specter Knight’s Campaign – A full campaign starring the shadowy scythe spinner!
• King Knight’s Campaign – A crazy campaign with the gilded goob himself!
• Battle Mode – Duel with up to 4 players as your favorite heroic or villainous knight!
• Body Swap Mode – Did you ever wish Shovel Knight was a lady, or Shield Knight was a dude? Well, now you’ll be able to change them all around, along with the rest of the cast!

Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows – Coming very soon!

The wait for Plague of Shadows is almost over! It will definitely hit BEFORE the boxed version. We’re in the home stretch and are polishing every detail, pixel, and potion right now. Check out some screens before the final version is released:

Remember that tough bookroom in Pridemoor? Look at Plague just breeze on by it!

Battle Mode Teaser

Even in the chaos of all this new stuff, we are still plugging away on new features, one of which is Battle Mode! Hopefully, Battle Mode can also be included in the boxed version of Shovel Knight on day one. Here’s a taste:

Oh, and one more thing: every boxed copy of Shovel Knight will include a lavish instruction booklet similar to the Kickstarter reward. No 2-page inserts here! You deserve a full manual, to hold in your hot little shaking hands and pore over as you wait to get home!

That’s all we’ve got! Hope you’re excited as we are to see Shovel Knight at retail! Let us know what you think in the comments.

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation Out Today

Who’s ready to do some dimension-hoppin’? Today’s the day that Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation hits the PS Vita, and things are about to get zany. A remake of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, which appeared on PS3, this game features an improved RPG battle system, more scenarios, and extra dollops of fourth-wall-breaking humor!

In Re;Birth3, you’ll take control of Neptune — CPU, Goddess, and all-around protector of the nation of Planeptune in the world of Gamindustri. Things are going pretty swell until you get tossed into an 80’s-tinged dimension of Gamindustri. In order to get back to your dimension, you’ll need to save this one from the nefarious Seven Sages alliance, who aren’t too fond of CPUs existing in this dimension or any other.

You’ll fight in battle using four characters, all of whom can be paired up with four more characters for easy battle-swapping. By pairing characters up consistently, you’ll be able to unlock special bonuses, and blast the enemy with pair-specific attacks. The power of friendship transcends all dimensions! The attack system has also been improved to allow characters to perform up to five attacks in a combo, so now you’ve got even more chances to bury the enemy.

While all that battle stuff’s going on, I’d like to also mention that the mini-game Stella’s Dungeon is back from Re;Birth2 and better than ever! In this roguelike mini-game, you’ll equip Stella with armor and weapons and send her to climb a tower in a quest for more items.

This time, though, you can bring a friend! The NPCs you usually find in the cities, like Snake Hayter, D-Bag, and other lovely citizens can now join Stella in her item quest. Each Scout will bring their own stats and special skills, like creating fewer enemies or allowing you to keep your items after death. To think, such item-getting will be happening all while you’re fighting your own battles or even leaving your Vita in rest mode!

On top of all that, we’ve added new scenarios, including some scenes with some not-so-friendly representations of mobile games, as well as streamlining the UI, and adding changes to dungeon maps. Now you can find random items by jumping to reveal hidden blocks, in a cheeky homage to some game I’m sure! All this, and you still get to craft special equipment, change your world with Plans, and experience the wacky humor of Gamindsutri! For the first time ever, we’ll also have special Re;Birth3 themes available for purchase on PSN. Let me just say, they’re very kawaii.

So set your non-trademarked dimension-hopping machine to here and now (Look, you’re already there!) and pick up your copy of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3: V Generation! And try not to step on any butterflies in your transdimensional travels, or else you might be stuck in the 80’s forever! *new wave music echoes, fades away*
