‘The Walking Dead: 400 Days’ release date is closer than you think (much, much closer)

By Adam Rosenberg July 1, 2013

The Walking Dead: 400 Days starts arriving on its various release platforms tomorrow, July 2, 2013, with the PlayStation 3 launch via PSN (U.S.-only). The Steam release (PC and Mac both) follows on July 3, and Xbox 360 on July 5. Both will be worldwide launches. The Sony Europe release of the DLC happens on July 10 and the worldwide iOS launch is on July 11. All of these confirmations come straight from Telltale Games, via the studio’s Facebook page.

The story runs through events that occur between the close of 2012’s season one, and it leads into the events of season two – which isn’t yet dated for release. The twist with the DLC is that it leaves behind the familiar characters that we came to know during season one, and focuses instead on five newcomers, showing what happens to them during the first 400 days of the zombie outbreak.

Choices that you made in season one directly inform the events of 400 Days, and choices that you make in the DLC carry forward into season two. For more on 400 Days, go ahead and check out our E3 preview. Really though, you should just wait. It’s almost here.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)

Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)

The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.

If you’re not using PlayStation Stars, you’re missing out

Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
