A new nightmare in the iconic horror series is about to begin. The episodic experience Resident Evil: Revelations 2 arrives this week on PS4 and PS3, unleashing four weeks of chilling stories. Ready your nightlights.
The first episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, titled Penal Colony, launches this week. Claire Redfield, one of the few survivors of the Raccoon City incident in 1998, has since joined a non-government organization named Terra Save, which works to help victims of biological weapons. But during an event at Terra Save’s headquarters, Claire and her co-workers are kidnapped by an unknown force and moved to a deserted island. A really scary one.
Prepare for the staple chills, gore, and intrigue that come with the Resident Evil series as Claire and Moira Burton struggle to survive in this new chapter of evil.
If that sounds a bit too scary, fear not: there are plenty more games coming to PlayStation this week, including the highly entertaining (and hilarious) Starwhal, which pits friends together in epic narwhal battles. In space. Oh yes, it’s all too real.
For a full list of games coming to PlayStation, read on. And enjoy the Drop!

People, sales don’t get announced on The Drop. It’s strictly for new games being released in any given week. If there’s going to be a Vita anniversary sale you’ll hear about it either tomorrow, Tuesday before the store update, or it will be a flash sale.
Can anyone tell me if I can use Shareplay with this game for online co-op?
Really good looking update. Can’t wait to check out Resident Evil:Revelations. Also glad to see a PS1 game get added.
Any plans for releasing some more ps2 classics? Maybe Resident Evil:Outbreak?
aww man i wish under night in birth was for ps4 too :(
Firefly Diary looks amazing….from what I’ve read, it did great in Japan and the graphics are fantastic.
Hope this game gets more love, despite its obscure title name.
Sorry for double-post….also wanted to add, Firefly Diary is apparently extremely difficult….the Dark Souls of 2D platformers? Anyway, looks great…though some are complaining about the controls not being responsive.
Xevious 3D/G+ =D

Looking forward to more footage of Firefly Diary, and thanks for another PSone classic Xevious.
Love the last sales, with some nice PSP additions to my library.
Csn’t wait for Revelations 2 for Vita, and really hope for more like it
#IncrediblesRiseoftheUndermineronPSstore
DW8 Empires for me.
Though this is a bit disconcerting…

Also, isn’t the F2P version of DW8E launching alongside the full game?
#StarBladeAlphaonPSstore
#EchoNightonPSstore
#RiseoftheKassaionPSstore
Uh oh, Another Hyperdimension game.
Not quite my style, but not bad either.
Isn’t DW8 Empires also launching on the PS3 this Tuesday? It’s not currently listed.

Here is hoping for a few good sale items to go along with this, so I can snag the $15 promo on the last day.
Ry-Dog.
Yes, many great games still needing added for both Psone and PSP.
As for me, still petitioning for backwards compatibilty, before a PS4 switch will ever be made.

Dude…while I applaud your spirit, please put these requests in fewer posts. XD
This is totally off topic but needs to be said.
the order is getting unprecedented hate and poor reviews from reviewers who admit they didn’t even finish the game before writing said review.
I just finished the game last night and it is ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I’VE PLAYED IN A LONG TIME.
Best game this year so far…makes my top 10 playstation games.
Anyone who hasn’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and ignore the reviews and play the game for yourself….simply amazing.
Any chance of add new pre-orders to the drop? Beyond!
Sweet! I forgot all about that Xevious remake on PSOne. That game was great. Will be picking it up for sure. I hope this is a sign of more Namco classics coming (Ms Pac Man Maze Madness and Klonoa 2 in particular).
@61 Echo Night is coming, it’s been re-rated and should hit shortly.
Xenoverse for me only this week. Been looking forward to this for quite awhile.
I might get RE:R 2 when all the episodes are out, but I’ll wait for now. I hate that to be continued stuff they’re trying to do. Maybe I’ll pick up Xevious in the meantime.
I’m just hoping that Xenoverse be much better than Batlle of Z :).
Episodic series? Lost all interest. Wasn’t it also supposed to be on Vita?
Hi Ryan, what about Borderlands the handsome collection when this is will be on psn for pre order i mean?
Dragon Ball Xenoverse (PS3) is $54.99 at retailers, if the Digital version is more than that then it means you’re stealing our money, idgaf what u guys say
@79
Yes, as a complete package after the full game comes out.
Where is La Mulana Ex for the Vita? =(
Nice to see more psvita titles! Firefly seems to be a good game.
Ryan, when will you start posting game prices and file sizes?
Please release these ps1 classics
Vandal hearts 1 and 2
Saga frontier
Jade cocoon
Diablo
Die hard trilogy
Einhander
Megaman legends 1 and 2
Azure dreams
And for psp
Final fantasy crisis core
Valkyrie profile
+ Ryan Clements Another drop and la -mulana EX is nowhere to be found. What is the issue and when is the actual release date? it was suppose to drop in january and then it was pushed back to feburary but that doesnt seem to be the case now. Can we just get a honest answer to the whereabouts of this game.
and ps3 xenoverse players who wanted digital copies from psn dont get ssj4 vegeta, jerks
+ DurableTomb I for one would like to know that answer. It was suppose to drop in january but we got nothing.
Just to clarify here, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empire for PS4 is available via PSN as digital download?
I don’t see Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires as digital buy. When is it coming to PSN to buy?
It’s sad that people hate on The Order before they finish playing it. They should put their 5 hours in first and then tell us how they liked it.
I thought STARHAWK was coming to the PS4 I got excited
