Prepare to drop into high-stakes combat and protect democracy at all costs — Helldivers is coming to PS4, PS3, and PS Vita this week in a flurry of friendly-fire chaos!
Helldivers enlists you in an elite squad of soldiers that travel the star system, obliterating any enemy of Super Earth that dares rear its insectoid head. With full four-player cooperative, and the looming presence of friendly fire at every turn, Helldivers is packed with challenge and three different alien races itching to destroy you. Procedurally-generated levels keep even the most versatile soldiers coming back for more, and a non-linear mission structure opens up even more carnage-laden options. Bonus: Helldivers supports cross play and cross chat across all three platforms.
If squashing space bugs and cyborgs isn’t your cup of tea, fear not: Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is also headed to PS Vita this week. In it, you’ll guide a clan across many generations in an effort to purge your family of an ancient curse. With watercolor visuals and spectacular battles, this RPG brings a new twist to Japanese mythology.
For a full list of games coming to PlayStation this week, read on. And enjoy the Drop!

Hopefully Ry-dog was banned…. a SEVENTEEN POST SPAM SPREE? Are you kidding me?
Anyway…
I’d like to see Sony and other companies patch more Vita games to work on the PlayStation TV.
It’s very strange that games such as OlliOlli, Wipeout 2048, Tales of Space Mutant Blobs, Sine Mora, Q*bert Rebooted, Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath, Street Fighter x Tekken, ModNation Racers Road Trip, Lone Survivor, Unit 13, Mutant Mudds Deluxe, PS All-Stars Battle Royale, Kick and Fennick, and many more simply don’t work with it.
Also, why is there no YouTube or Netflix support on a device meant to connect to your TV?
It just seems like it was doomed from the start and is being swept under the rug.
I think Sony has a responsibility to their customers to continue to support a new device (or devices in the case of the PSTV and Vita).
I am not okay with the ‘digital-only’ trend of this post. Stop releasing digital only content if you can’t release a memory card large enough to hold it.
Why the wait for the “March Instant Games Preview”? Is it because the instant games are going to be so awesome or is Sony phasing out instant game feature?
Helldivers, Oreshika, White Night and Zombie Army Trilogy- One of the.best months ever ( For Non-Triple “A” ) titles ; that’s great.
However , please give us relevant Ps4 AAA titled for our Ps Plus memberships….Wolfenstein PS4 is a great suggestion.
I’m with everyone that wants the IGC, it’s been March for almost 2 days now and still nothing?!? I’m hoping it’s worth the wait. Also Would love a Dark Cloud port to the vita or PS4 as a PS2 classic, what are the chances that happens? I heard Dark Cloud 3 is in the works, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed
RESIDENT EVIL: Revelations 2 is getting RE.NET support starting on March 17!
BTW, any news as to when RE Revelations 2 will be available on VITA? –I can’t wait to play this on the go!
Hey, there still no Ys: Memories of Celceta and Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles support for PlayStation TV, please bring us the update, so we can play these great titles on the big screen.
Also an update that allow us to play PSone titles on fullscreen in PSTV!
One thing ps4 lacks is RPGs!!!!!!!!!!! Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a game I would love to play but I am not getting a vita for it.. ;/ this generation is trippin on rpg games.
“You’ll receive a redemption code for your $15 credit on or before March 2nd via email, XMB message on PS3, or system notification on PS4/PS Vita.”
Why can’t they at least send an email saying “you have qualified” after we pass the $100 mark? At least then we will know it’s just a delay in getting the codes out instead of us being disqualified due to some technicality or something.
I’m so excited to see a new version of OlliOlli! What a great game! Who would’ve thought that a game only 128MB could be so much fun and provide so much entertainment!?
Also, next week we have the DmC: Devil May Cry remastered edition coming-out right? I’ve been looking forward to that, as I always liked the PS3 version–aside from it’s terrible framerate. If the remaster runs DmC like a high-end PC, then I’m looking at many hours of fun ahead!
On the other hand, I must say that I am VERY disappointed with the current state of PS Plus. The discounts are laughable; $3 or $4 makes no difference when you’re charging $50-$90 for digitally downloaded games. Since the release of the PS4, there has been a steady decline in both the quality and quantity of the free games in the PS Plus catalog. The often terrible indie games like Sports Friends, Pixel Junk Shooter, Spellunky (lol, seriously(!?)), and many more unmentionables are just a cop-out on Sony’s part. If you want my $50.00 a year just to play online multiplayer (which I don’t do a whole lot of), there is little incentive to keep my membership, and that’s a bummer!
I would much rather shell-out the $50 and feel good knowing I’m getting lots of extras than feel like I’m paying excise taxes, which is how I’m feeling about renewing my PS Plus subscription! It’s just like a F-You charge for owning my PS4..ugh. I would also feel much better about renewing my subscription if the PSN was more reliable. Every time I turn on my PS4 I’m crossing my fingers hoping I’ll be able to log-in!
Any news on when can we preorder Arkham Knight via ps store?
@ auron2 you can’t even pre-order FFXV yet. There’s no release date even given either, it’s still under some pretty heavy development.
Any news on Skullgirls Encore for the Vita? And will Sony get more horror titles on the Vita?
devonh117: actually some places allowed you to preorder the game when it was still versus 13 so they could still have thier preorder from that time
Nice
Is Borderlands Handsome Collection only going to be on physical copy? It’s being released this month but I still can’t pre order on PSN.
Hopefully Ry-dog was banned…. a SEVENTEEN POST SPAM SPREE? Are you kidding me?

Helldivers Finally! Day one buy, no matter the cost!!! ;)
Plus games for tomorrow?
Cross-buy just sealed the deal on Helldivers day one for me! Zombie Army Trilogy looks very fun too, but boy do I have a backlog. :)
Discounts on indie games is Awesome!!!
Helldivers, Oreshika, White Night and Zombie Army Trilogy- One of the.best months ever ( For Non-Triple “A” ) titles ; that’s great.

Dammit Helldivers team, I wanted a demo.
Will OlliOlli 2 be cross-buy?
You know what Lego games are going to be on sale
And the prices possibly ?
Anyone know we get the 15 from spending 100 earlier because im ready to spend.
Thanks, Ryan! I saw you were looking into the FF Type-0 digital release date. Any findings?
Beyond. :)
Looks like it’s gonna be another possible month before I bother renewing PSN+ yearly subscription. Not interested in any of these games.
So…. at least 3 games I’ll be buying this week… Good drop.. good drop, indeed.
Aces of the Air as a PSOne Classic!?!? WWWWHHHHHYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!
No preload for Helldivers?
I’m with everyone that wants the IGC, it’s been March for almost 2 days now and still nothing?!? I’m hoping it’s worth the wait. Also Would love a Dark Cloud port to the vita or PS4 as a PS2 classic, what are the chances that happens? I heard Dark Cloud 3 is in the works, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed
So where are the PS+ free games for march? It’s kind of march already… and you still haven’t said anything.
RESIDENT EVIL: Revelations 2 is getting RE.NET support starting on March 17!

What dropped? The ball… that was held by Sony. Where is the plus preview?

How many hours left till helldivers come out?
So has anyone received the $15 yet?
“You’ll receive a redemption code for your $15 credit on or before March 2nd via email, XMB message on PS3, or system notification on PS4/PS Vita.”
Why can’t they at least send an email saying “you have qualified” after we pass the $100 mark? At least then we will know it’s just a delay in getting the codes out instead of us being disqualified due to some technicality or something.
any ps+ list for this month yet?
