    Sony is reportedly plotting to revive classic PlayStation games, starting with a new Ape Escape from the developers behind Sonic Mania

    Sony reportedly wants to revive a selection of its long-dormant PlayStation classics with smaller third-party developers, starting with a new Ape Escape from Evening Star, the independent team behind Sonic Mania, according to The Jeff Gerstmann podcast and VGC. Gerstmann said the game is not close to release, and PlayStation is apparently keen to work with other outside developers on its legacy IP, similar to 2025's Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots handled by Bandai Namco. The last mainline Ape Escape game was 2005's Ape Escape 3.

    Sony sells hundreds of VR patents to Meta, seemingly ending its VR ambitions

    According to ZDNet Korea via Road to VR, Sony intends to transfer a total of 419 global patents to rival Meta, with 43 US-specific properties changing hands between June and September this year. Sony was an early entrant into the head-mounted display market with its HMZ-T1, which also formed the foundation of the original PSVR project. The first PSVR was a respectable hit on PS4, but its successor never gained much footing, while Meta continues to push ahead with VR Glasses due out in 2027.

    Phoenix Cyclops joins MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls on November 2 as the first Year 1 Pass DLC character

    MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls producer Takeshi Yamanaka announced that Phoenix Cyclops, the first Year 1 Pass DLC character, arrives on November 2, voiced by Ray Chase, with Classic and Legacy DLC costumes on the same day. He explained that the Phoenix version was chosen over the traditional Cyclops to offer fresher visuals and a different fighting style. Cyclops is an all-rounder using varied Optic Blasts, and collecting four Solar Shards lets him transform into Dark Phoenix for a temporary boost that also drains health. The game's first PlayStation Store sale starts today, PlayStation Plus members get a 3-hour Game Trial from today, and attendees at EVO France from October 9-11 can try him early.

    Why this: The producer explains why Phoenix Cyclops was chosen over the classic version and details the Solar Shards transformation and DLC costumes.

    AI Dev Defends Reverse-Engineering PlayStation Homebrew Tool Without Permission, Citing 'Freedom Of Speech'

    A PlayStation homebrew developer known as Zer0Day used AI to reverse-engineer GoldHEN, a closed-source PS4 homebrew tool, and published it on GitHub, claiming he has "the right to freedom of speech and freedom of expression." GoldHEN is primarily designed by Sistro with several maintainers and took roughly five years to build. The incident comes as forks of the PS5 emulators KytyPS5, SharpEmu, and AnyPS5 on GitHub grew from roughly 1,300 to roughly 1,840.

    Mounting Evidence Says Sony Is 'Accepting Game Pitches' for Fan Fave Franchises

    Multiple sources say Sony is accepting game pitches for fan favourite franchises and plans to license older brands to talented third-party studios, funding and publishing the games itself with original creators involved. Reports point to a Killzone remake at People Can Fly, an Ape Escape revival at Evening Star, and chatter of a new Sly Cooper. The leaker believes the first wave of this initiative could arrive around the PS6 launch window, with titles likely also shipping on PS5.

    Rumour: More Sources Back Ape Escape Revival from Ex-Sonic Mania Devs

    More sources have backed the rumour that Evening Star Studio is developing an Ape Escape revival. Journalist Jeff Gerstmann said on his podcast that the reporting is true, and VGC said its own sources confirmed the same. The earlier claim came from Reddit user IcyPenguin28, who cited a couple of credible sources and pointed to the studio's CTO Hunter Bridges being a fan of the series, a job ad for an anime-styled 3D character artist, and CEO Dave Padilla's 2025 move to Tokyo. Gerstmann said he heard about this a while ago and that the game may be very early in development.

    Dealabs reports that Forza Horizon 6 will come to PS5 on January 26, 2027, a date it says backs up the delay mentioned by Tom Warren and contradicts Xbox's official line that still pointed to 2026. The PS5 version is said to get a physical disc release the same day, priced at €69.99 in Europe and £59.99 in the UK, matching the Xbox Series version, with a US price expected at $69.99. It is not yet known whether a Premium Edition or early access will be offered on PS5, and an official date announcement is expected this week with pre-orders to follow.
