By Adam Rosenberg Published June 10, 2014

Check out our Murdered: Soul Suspect review.

Square Enix is set to bring Airtight Games’ “supernatural detective thriller” Murdered: Soul Suspect to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles in June 2014, the publisher confirms. The game was first announced for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in mid-2013, but this week marks the first time a release was confirmed for either of the two newer machines.

Murdered puts players in the role of Ronan O’Connor, a Salem detective who finds himself trapped in the limbo world of Dusk after he is slain by an unidentified killer. It’s your job as the player to help Ronan reach the afterlife by uncovering who murdered him and meting out some ghostly justice.

We haven’t seen a whole lot of the game since E3 (where we liked what we saw), but you can get a peek at what it looks like in the trailer below.

The no-disc release for GTA 6 could be hiding a deeper problem and that makes me a bit anxious

GTA 6 may launch without a real disc because Rockstar could still be finishing the game

As a gamer and a games collector, it is frustrating that GTA 6, arguably the most anticipated game of all time, is not getting a proper disc release at launch. The boxed copy will reportedly contain only a download code, which defeats much of the point of buying physical in the first place.

It also does not help that Rockstar has already annoyed some fans by locking certain in-game shops, vehicles, storage locations, and other bonuses behind the more expensive Ultimate Edition. For a game as massive as GTA 6, both decisions feel like the kind of moves players were hoping Rockstar would avoid.

Sony’s next PlayStation could break free of the living room and I think it’s worth the risk

Component prices may be soaring, but Sony has more reasons than ever to take portable gaming seriously.

Sony may have just dropped its biggest hint yet that a true PlayStation handheld is on the way. In a recently published Q&A with investors, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Hideaki Nishino said the company's next-generation PlayStation strategy will deliver a seamless gaming experience that extends "beyond the living room." While he never explicitly mentioned a handheld, the comments have once again fueled speculation that Sony is preparing to return to the portable gaming space with the PS6 generation.

Xbox Game Pass deals are reportedly drying up, and that’s bad news for indies

Ask most players why they subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, and they'll probably mention day-one Xbox exclusives. But developers have long viewed the service differently. For many indie studios, a Game Pass deal wasn't just extra exposure — it was financial security before launch.

Landing a Game Pass deal often meant guaranteed revenue before a game even launched, reducing the financial gamble of releasing an indie title into an increasingly crowded market. Now, that safety net may not be as dependable as it once was.
