July Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years. Especially with the limp Xbox is-it-isn't-it launch .  July 2026 Update : Sony managed a cannon-fire sized self-inflicted injury by announcing the end of physical releases across the end of the PS5 era and the launch of the PS6. Due to lack of sales (only 7 titles have passed the 100,000 mark in the last year) and economics, it still doesn't matter to PlayStation owners, collectors are stores, who can now only sell digital codes in a box.  June 2026 Update : The latest snippet of gossip for Sony's next-gen systems is a modular/external drive that will connect to both devices.

Broken Sword collection swishes onto Evercade

 Evercade's first formal new release for 2025 has been revealed as the Broken Sword collection, bringing the first pair of the well-regarded PlayStation adventure series to the retro console platform. Revolution Software's series is now up to no. 5, with a sixth on the way - and a recent remaster of the original likely to be followed by more. 

Update: The release date for Broken Sword and Indie Collection 4 have slipped from the end of February to the 10th March. Pre-orders live on 30th January.  And pre-orders are live now!

But for Evercaders, playing the originals is what we're all about, and the platform is pretty bare when it comes to classic point-and-click adventures. Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Reforged and Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror will go a long way to rectifying that problem. 


 With gorgeous animation, epic stories and tricky puzzles, they are legendary games for good reason. 

Console cartridge no. 44 (really Evercade, no F1 racing collection in honour of Lewis Hamilton?) arrives in February, so not long to wait. And its likely the rest of the series will follow, so we can pencil those into the release list.  


And there's plenty more to look forward to this year, with Evercade's wrap-up last year promising "So I don’t say this lightly –  2025 is going to be even bigger! Whether you’re a fan of Evercade or HyperMegaTech!, our focus is on providing you with even more amazing products, surprises, and memories to treasure."
