There’s a load of new games incoming to PlayStation next week, and with the exception of a couple, it’s a Japanese takeover, with a whole trilogy of Atelier games, a Dragon Ball Z RPG, and many more!
If these aren’t your flavour, you can also pick up the excellent and free-to-play, The Darwin Project, a survival-based battle royale that seems to have taken more than a little inspiration from the Hunger Games.
Read on for the full list of titles coming next week!
