PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

1. Day of the Tentacle Remastered
2. Civilization Revolution 2 Plus
3. Xcom: Enemy Unknown Plus
4. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
5. Trillion God of Destruction

Over on Amazon UK, Assassin's Creed Chronicles is also on top of the Amazon Top Vita Sellers list.

Next out in physical form are MegaTagmension and Stranger of Sword City, which might be rather more niche affairs.
