PlayStation Official Podcast Episode 518: Journey and Connection – PlayStation.Blog

Sure thing, here’s an attempt at giving that a more human touch:

So, you ever get caught up in something and wonder how you ended up there? That’s basically how this week felt for me, and it was awesome. I mean, heck, Kristen and I dove into this whole world of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and let me tell you—delivery adventures have never been so… weirdly satisfying. It’s one of those games that, I dunno, just hits different. You’re lugging packages across landscapes, and somehow it feels epic. I can’t explain it—maybe I’m just a sucker for a good storyline wrapped in a psychedelic package.

Speaking of stories, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 really threw a curveball at my emotions. I wasn’t ready for that range of feelings, honestly. I went in expecting one thing, then, bam!—60 different emotions later, there I was, questioning everything. No idea why it stuck with me, but it did. Some games are just like that, you know?

Oh! And before I forget, let’s chat about PlayStation merch. Because, y’know… sometimes you just need a sweet new hoodie or those quirky collectibles. Maybe I got sidetracked. Anyway, point is—the merch scene is pretty exciting right now.

Oh yeah, coming up, we’ve got some spicy stuff. Here’s a quick rundown: EA Sports College Football 26 is making an entrance on PS5, and I’m super hyped—like, college spirit hyped. Then there’s Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4—bringing back the nostalgic vibes hard. And for something a bit offbeat, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay will be dancing into your PS5 soon.

Now, brace yourself—Full Metal Schoolgirl is entering the ring. It’s a mouthful, I know, but bear with me. This new action game, with cyborgs squaring off against some evil corporation (because, why not?), is hitting PS5 on October 23. Mark your calendars!

Oh, and Ghost of Yōtei Collector’s Edition—get this—it’s coming with a Ghost mask! (Insert wow emoji here.) Plus, all the trimmings like an art card, a coin game, and digital goodies. Kind of feels like Christmas came early.

Real quick, gotta give props to Dormilón for the sick theme song and tunes that keep our show grooving. Seriously, they nailed it.

One last thing: release dates for PSN games can be like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands—subject to change on a whim. So keep an eye out!

Catch you next time, and don’t forget—gaming is personal. Or something like that. Who knows.
