Check out our Murdered: Soul Suspect review.

Square Enix and Airtight Games have confirmed the release date for Murdered: Soul Suspect. The action-adventure mystery game will debut on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on June 3.

In Murdered, you play Detective Ronan O’Connor, fresh off being… well, murdered. While it might seem somewhat limiting to play as a corpse, that is just the start. You take control of O’Connor’s spirit and attempt to solve your own homicide using newly acquired spectral powers. Along the way, you’ll also come in contact with demonic creatures that want your soul for their own reasons, none of which are likely to be good.

We saw the game back at E3 2013 and were intrigued by some of the original ideas on display, but there was no sense of when the game would actually debut. In February the publisher confirmed that it would be released in 2014, but that was as detailed as Square Enix was willing to get.

When the game hits on June 3, it will be released on current and next-gen system, with a cheaper price on the PS3, Xbox 360, and on PC. The game will cost $49.99 on those systems, and $59.99 on the PS4 and Xbox One.

Check out the screenshots and trailer below to get a better sense of the game.

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.

Sony finally said what everyone was thinking

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.

I just played Ghost of Tsushima on a phone. I never thought I’d see this day and I’m not regretting this misadventure

Running Ghost of Tsushima on the Red Magic 11S Pro almost feels wrong

I have tested plenty of gaming phones, but nothing quite prepared me for watching Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut boot up on the Red Magic 11S Pro. This was not cloud gaming or something like Remote Play from a PlayStation sitting somewhere else in the house. I used GameHub, linked it with Steam, and after some trial and error, had the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima running on a phone--and it was far more playable than I expected.

And yes, it looked as ridiculous as it sounds. Seeing Jin Sakai on a phone screen with a GameHub overlay, virtual shoulder buttons, and a live FPS counter sitting on top made the whole setup seem a lot more viable.
