Konnichiwa! I’m Nicolas Doucet, creative director and producer of The Playroom VR in Japan Studio. Today, I’d like to tell you about how we created our VR characters. Those of you who already know The Playroom on PS4 may remember the cute AR Bots who live inside the DualShock 4. As we began working on…
Braidy or not. Last week, we noticed that Braid: Anniversary Edition had landed its very own ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Edition’ release. The catch? It was only available on the Japanese eShop.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is a first-person mystery game and it’s coming to PS4 on July 14th. We thought it might be fun to introduce the game by sharing a few secrets behind the game’s development process. 1.)
