Official PlayStation Podcast Episode 517: Surprising Updates – PlayStation.Blog

Sure thing, let’s dive in. Ahem.

Okay, so, I’m supposed to write about some cool stuff Sid and Tim were chatting about. Like, hey, everybody, right? Sid and Tim are these dudes (well, not just any dudes) who were totally geeking out this week. They went on about this game, System Shock 2 — you know, that classic. Apparently, it set some kinda gaming foundation. Who’d’ve thought? Not me. But maybe you did.

Oh, and they were all excited after hitting up the Summer Game Fest 2025. I missed it. Maybe you did too? No shame there. Festivals aren’t for everyone. Anyway — wait, no — Sid and Tim also got wrapped up in their own gaming escapades. Sounds wild.

Now, a tiny list of what’s coming. Heads up, next week’s release thingies:

– Ruffy And The Riverside. PS5. Ever heard of it?

– System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. Yep, they did that! PS5, PS4.

– Black Desert. PS5.

– Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. PS5. (Beach, but like… not vacation vibes, you know?)

Oh, and there’s some PS Store promo happening. Mid-Year Deals. Save up to 70% or something. You’ll have to see for yourself, I’m broke right now, so… yeah.

Did you hear? Ghost of Yōtei — something about Sucker Punch folks wandering around Hokkaido, learning how to forage and all that. Like, really? People do that? Climate Station, though — now that sounds intense. For PS5 and PS VR2 peeps. Climate science turned into a story. Like, can you imagine digging into decades of science, but make it a game? Nuts.

So, who’s behind all the chatter?

– Sid Shuman — Senior Director of Content Communications, SIE. (Basically, he’s a big deal.)

– Tim Turi — Content Communications Manager, SIE. (Cool dude.)

Oh, shout-out to Dormilón for the epic theme music! Seriously, it’s catchy. Like, get-stuck-in-your-head catchy.

Anyhoo, remember, game release dates from PlayStation Network? They might change. No one likes surprises, but who am I kidding, it happens. Info comes from press releases and whatnot. Just a heads-up. Keep it real, folks!
