Arknights: Endfield will support upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on PlayStation 5 Pro as part of the Version 1.4 update. Designed to take advantage of the latest PS5 Pro enhancements, the upgraded PSSR delivers sharper image quality, improved temporal stability, and smoother performance as you explore Endfield’s expansive sci-fi world.

Sharper character detail

With the upgraded PSSR enabled on PS5 Pro, character outfits and material textures appear noticeably sharper. Fine costume details, layered materials, and surface textures retain greater definition, allowing the game’s distinctive character designs to stand out with improved clarity throughout exploration, combat, and story scenes.

Greater clarity for Endfield’s stylized world

Arknights: Endfield’s stylized environments also benefit from the upgraded PSSR. Lush vegetation, sprawling industrial facilities, and the wildlife peacefully inhabiting natural environments all maintain stable, crisp detail, making exploration across the game’s diverse maps even more immersive.

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, launching October 23, developer Infinity Ward is amping up the Multiplayer experience with Kill Block, an adaptive live-fire training environment where modular battlegrounds reconfigure before every match, creating hundreds of unique configurations. Let’s take a closer look.

Introducing Kill Block

Deploy to the West Bridge Training Facility in Kill Block, a new dynamic combat space where sightlines, pathways, and cover objects shift between matches, forcing Operators to adapt in real time. Launching with both 3v3 Gunfight and the all new 10v10 Gunfight mode, Kill Block will offer over 500 possible configurations.

The building blocks

The West Bridge Training facility is an unrivaled example of military engineering, a self-contained compound featuring an array of concrete towers, electronics, motors, and pulley systems allowing regular reconfigurations of the map as various pieces, or “Slabs,” are moved around dictating the overall layout for the next deployment.

The core design for Kill Block is based on three modular sections, including two outer End Slabs attached to a Central Slab, that combine into new battlegrounds between matches and even after certain Gunfight rounds. Most of these sections are brand-new while others are inspired by iconic locations from the Modern Warfare series such as Crash, Storage Town, Shoot House, and others.

Each Slab is rectangular in shape, and when all three Slabs are connected a play space roughly the size of Shoot House from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) is created. To quicken your intake of the environment, look for section markers around the perimeter and spray-painted signs helping to orient your position in the map.

Learn the layout and adapt when it changes… or die trying.

Play it your way

No matter your playstyle, there’s room for it on Kill Block as the changing layout offers creative challenges with variations on vertical positioning, sightlines, flank routes, and more. For example, in one match you may be fighting within close-quarters trenches, while in the next you’re firing downrange across rooftops, or some mixture of the two. Luckily, with Modern Warfare 4’s refined and fluid movement mechanics, improved player agency, and tactical decision-making, there are countless ways to approach the field, no matter its form.

Shifting weather patterns

It’s not just the terrain that changes, but the weather, too. Some Slabs are fitted with military-grade weather simulation arrays outfitted with powerful fans to propel rainfall and snow flurries across the map. Weapons are additionally affected by the weather, with water and ice particles building up on the weapon until you swap armaments or reload.

Suit up, Rangers! Pre-registration for Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now open worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. To celebrate, we’re launching a community rewards campaign, headlined by a reward we think Ratchet & Clank fans will especially love: the exclusive Clank Suit skin for Widget.

Since the game’s reveal a few months ago, we’ve been testing and refining the experience through regional soft launches in Canada, the Nordics, France, and Asia. After a successful testing phase shaped by player feedback, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is now gearing up for global launch, and pre-registration is the first step on that journey. We can’t wait for what’s coming next!

What is Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble?

Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer hero shooter that brings the iconic franchise to mobile, developed by Oh Bibi in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Insomniac Games. Captain Qwark has created a revolutionary combat Simulation to find the next generation of Galactic Rangers. But, well… it’s Qwark. So once you step into the Arena, anything can happen.

Players choose from legendary heroes, master unique abilities, and unleash an arsenal of explosive weapons in real-time PvP arena battles, enhanced by dynamic PvE elements that add depth and variety to every match.

The hero lineup is something we’re especially proud of. With 12 Heroes available at launch, and more to come, each character brings a fresh new perspective to the Ratchet & Clank universe.

Players will discover brand-new characters never seen before in the series: legendary heroes from the past, each with their own story and personality. From robots, aliens to new Lombaxes, every hero has a unique playstyle, design, and exclusive cosmetics.

For Oh Bibi, it was a real privilege to collaborate directly with Insomniac Games on the design and backstories of the new Lombaxes, including insights from some of the original developers and designers behind the series’ most iconic titles. Bringing these characters to life inside the Simulation has been a true passion project for the creative team, and we can’t wait for players to meet them.

At launch, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble features six distinct game modes, giving players plenty of ways to jump into the action. Squad up with friends in fast-paced team PvP battles, take on waves of enemies in PvE, or discover fresh twists to the license, including a battle royale-inspired mode and a football-inspired showdown where every goal comes with a little extra firepower (and yes, it’s football, not soccer!).

Whether you’re chasing competitive wins, looking for co-op chaos, or simply excited to experience the Ratchet & Clank universe in a brand-new way, there’s a Rumble for you. Every mode is built around the fast, inventive, over-the-top action that has always defined the series.

Tomorrow, Moss: The Forgotten Relic arrives on PlayStation 5.

For many players, this will be their very first venture into the world of Moss. For others, it’s a chance to return to a place that has stayed with them long after the credits rolled. Either way, we’re incredibly excited to finally share our handcrafted adventure, Moss: The Forgotten Relic with everyone.

Moss: The Forgotten Relic is a reimagined collection that brings Moss, Moss: Book II, and the Twilight Garden expansion together into one handcrafted fantasy adventure for PlayStation 5, without the requirement of a VR headset. We hope returning players enjoy seeing Quill’s world in a new light, and we can’t wait to welcome all of you who are just now meeting her. 

We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing our launch trailer, giving you a glimpse of the adventure, danger, and heart that define Quill’s journey.

Play Video

When we first started working on Moss, we wanted to build a nostalgic fantasy adventure inspired by the classic stories and games we grew up with, all centered around one question we had never seen explored before:

What if the hero of the story could see you? What if they needed you?

That idea shaped every decision we made. Every environmental diorama was handcrafted to feel like a page from a living storybook. Every puzzle, encounter, and personal moment was designed to strengthen the bond between the player and our hero, Quill. 

We wanted players to feel protective of Quill, but just as importantly, inspired by her determination.

The idea to create Coloratura was born from a revolutionary premise: creating a game that wasn’t just an audioguide but an experience you can play blindly, using spatial orientation and sensory perception as its main core. The project was born from Museful, a Game Jam prototype that served to confirm that tridimensional movement was possible without visual guiding.

The team took inspiration from several sources. They analyzed games designed to be played blindly like The Vale or A Blind Legend to understand what worked, and what kind of visual aids they wanted to avoid in order to maintain the purity of a true sightless experience. For the narrative and world building, they took great inspiration from titles such as Life is Strange, embracing a musical indie tone with slice of life themes and a big focus on the inner conflict of the main character.

Audio-focused gameplay design

Coloratura is a single-player narrative adventure where you play as Alex, a talented musician who has lost her sight due to an accident. Far from limiting movement, this game breaks the limits of traditional accessibility designs: the player has total freedom in a 3D environment without cardinal boundaries, being able to rotate the camera and freely explore the scene.

To ensure the player’s ability to navigate the levels intuitively and comfortably, the team designed some innovative audio mechanics:

• Radar and memory systems: Alex can concentrate to feel elements at different distances. The game uses a “memory” system to assign a positional sound to objects such as a table or a coffee machine once they are discovered. This allows the player to create a mind map of the space.
• The objective “button”: To avoid the player feeling lost, the team implemented a bell sound to indicate the direction they have to follow. This was an effort to translate the classic visual objective tracking from games to a guide that was purely based on sound.
• Musical puzzles: The goal is to locate sound sources that become puzzles. Once resolved, the player can build up melodies and form the final game soundtrack, mirroring Alex’s life stages.

Art direction and world building

In Coloratura the sound design is a main part of the visual design in a way. The world is built through a rich sound landscape that embraces the player and allows them to triangulate their position at any point. The musical identity, designed by José Ramón “Bibiki” García, is very well defined – acoustic guitar riffs are used to represent Alex’s personality and conscious state, while piano sounds evoque more introspective and dreamy moments.

The 3D environment was also created with a focus on fluidity. They eliminated strict collisions and designed scenes with broad walls to allow the player to move around without dealing with the frustration of getting stuck against an invisible object. On top of all that, there was a comprehensive dubbing work that included professional actors capable of transmitting deep emotions with almost an ASMR vibe. This allowed the voice acting to hit the right spot without feeling overwhelming.
