London. 1886. In a Neo-Victorian landscape embroiled in political strife and otherworldly war, a small company of knights protects humanity from the Half-breed threat.

Welcome to The Order: 1886, out this Friday exclusively on PS4.

Guide Sir Galahad through a battered kingdom and uncover dark secrets that threaten to poison the very people he fights to protect. This third-person shooter features life-like characters, exquisite motion capture performances, pulse-pounding action, and a stirring score to accompany Galahad’s quest.

Pillar — PS4 Demo
The information above is subject to change without notice.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round has been preordered for months, so i’m really looking forward to playing it this week. I’m interested in Pillar. I saw a local news story on its creator, because he’s from the area. Q*Bert Rebooted is a must for a classic arcade gamer like myself. (I’m a classic, and so are the games!) And Trivial Pursuit Live! I could rarely get enough people togther to play Trivial Pursuit as a kid. Now i won’t have that problem! And of course, there’s The Order: 1886. ‘Nuff said.
Sounds like you have plenty of gaming to get to this week. Enjoy it! And awesome on the Pillar story! I love game projects that come from small (or single-person) teams.
I’ve been curious about something for a while: was there any specific reason you chose to release The Order: 1886 on a Friday instead of the usual Tuesday?
@6 – hand of Fate is a Kickstarter project in which the cards generate random equipment and the gameplay elements play out as 3d combat. I’ve been following it for a long time.
However, it was supposed to be for Vita as well. Can anyone comment? I never saw an update saying Vita was dropped but maybe I missed something?
You think you could find information about that.the people responsible for importing the japan version are monkey paw.and by the way can you find out if in the future playstation can bring dark cloud 1 and 2 in high definition with trophy support.
Is Dead or Alive 5: Final Round on PS3 not coming out the same day as PS4 version? Just wanted to make sure that wasn’t a error on your part Ryan.
Also the reason for The Order: 1886 coming out on a Friday is because it will release the same day and time for the whole world to play. Most game’s that are released on Tuesday’s are North America, then Wednesday for Europe, etc. You get the picture. So 1 game with a Major release! Big Stuff!
Hey Ryan! It’s @DarkAngelRafael from twitter. I finally got a PS4 and have The Order: 1886 Collector’s Edition on pre-order. OMG Q*BERT?! I HAVEN’T PLAYED THAT GAME SINCE THE 80’S!
Now that we have Suikoden II, I will start pleading a new game:
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. this is a perfect game for Vita! Any chance?
I wish you would include major dlc and prices. But i guess that’s not in your packet of info. Seriously, does sony just email you the info and you just pretty it up?
Whatever happened to the Just Dance and My Little Pony DLC for Monopoly Plus? It was on PSN on Friday and yesterday it disappeared. I was going to get it for my daughter.
They’ve been doing Friday releases for certain games for a while. There’s far less competition at retail that way. The most they’ll ever have to contend with is a Nintendo release, who also releases their first party games on Fridays.
Enjoy the Drop!
hi Ryan, do you know what time to play The Order 1886 if i pre-order this game as digital version ? it say PT but not say what time
Hi! Sorry, my documents don’t list a specific time, so I’m not sure. I’ll have to ask in the office on Tuesday. ^_^
Thanks for your interest, though!
