Bloodborne, the upcoming gothic action roleplaying game from (Demon and Dark) Souls series creator Hidetaka Miyazaki, has been delayed until March 24th, 2015, from its planned February release, according to the PlayStation Blog. Developer From Software recently held a small, closed alpha test, and based the decision to delay on the results of that early trial.

Miyazaki continues his exploration of punishing combat in dark, mysterious worlds in the move from the Souls series to Bloodborne. The upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive turns up the intensity, with more aggressive combat than its predecessor’s measured, survival focus. It also features cooperative multiplayer, both indirectly (as it exists in the Dark Souls series) and directly, so you can jump right in and fight enormous, horrible demons with friends at your side.

Project Century: everything we know so far

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (aka RGG) is working overtime on upcoming video games. Not only is it releasing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii in 2025, but it also revealed that it is working on Virtua Fighter 6. If that wasn't enough, we also learned about a new IP from the studio currently being called Project Century. This game looks to be a return to the classic Yakuza games in terms of gameplay, but in a completely unique setting and featuring a new protagonist. Let's rewind the clock and see what we can uncover about this mysterious new game.

For a comprehensive look at all the upcoming PlayStation 5 games, upcoming Xbox Series X games, upcoming PC games, and upcoming Switch games, see our specific lists to find what you're looking for.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet: everything we know so far

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.

If you don't have a PS5, there are plenty of upcoming Xbox Series X, upcoming PC, and upcoming Switch games, too.
