Lords of the Fallen is confirmed for release in North America on October 28 and in Europe on October 31 for PC (Windows), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, according to the official Facebook page. The game is an action-RPG in the style of Dark Souls, developed by CI Games and Deck13 Interactive, and published by Bandai Namco Games.

Set “in an unforgiving world where no sin is ever forgotten,” gamers take on the role of Harkyn, a convicted criminal given a shot a redemption when the army of a long-ago defeated god attacks the human realm.

In order to stop the war against the demon realm, Harkyn faces off against ever-escalating supernatural and human opponents using a plethora of fighting techniques and skills across three classes: Warrior, Rogue and Cleric. Much like Dark Souls, any encounter could be deadly for the player, where learning from your mistakes is par for the course. As the tagline from the website says “Every Victory is Born From Defeat.”

According to The Verge's Tom Warren, Microsoft has been quietly working on a disc-to-digital feature for Xbox. It's called Disc2Digital internally, and lets players convert their physical games into permanent digital licenses.

Sony is closing the PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita, ending new digital purchases on two of its most beloved older platforms after a remarkably long run.

The PS3 launched in 2006 and 2007, depending on the region, while the PS Vita arrived in Japan in late 2011 before reaching North America and Europe in February 2012. By the time the final closures happen in July 2027, Sony will have supported PS3 store purchases for nearly two decades, and PS Vita purchases for more than 15 years.

Merely a few days ago, Rockstar courted plenty of flak for not releasing a physical copy of GTA VI, despite pricing charging up to $100 for the highly anticipated title. Well, it seems that the final days of game discs are nigh. Sony has just announced that it is shuttering physical releases for PlayStation titles.

Starting in January 2028, new titles released on PlayStation consoles will no longer be available on disc. Everything after that date, which is about a year and a half away, will be digital-only, whether you buy it from the PlayStation Store or at a retailer.
