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

By Adam Rosenberg Published 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.

As Sony closes the door on PS3 games, RPCS3 has preserved thousands on PC

The open-source emulator now considers 2,681 PS3 titles fully playable before Sony stops selling games through the console

Sony is preparing to close the PlayStation Store on PS3, ending new purchases globally by July 2027. Less than two weeks after that announcement, the team behind RPCS3 revealed a very different milestone.

The open-source PS3 emulator now lists 75% of the console’s tracked library as playable on PC. That covers 2,681 of 3,559 games, and the rating means they can be completed with acceptable performance and no game-breaking glitches.

This PS5-exclusive Game of the Year is now running on PC… sort of

Sony isn't planning PC ports for its PlayStation exclusives, but that isn't stopping the emulation community.

Nobody wants to wait for Grand Theft Auto VI on PC. With Rockstar still promising only PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions for November 19, a sudden burst of PS5-emulation progress has naturally attracted plenty of attention.

Two open-source projects, KytyPS5 and SharpEmu, can now boot genuine commercial PS5 software on computers. Both remain extremely experimental, so anyone picturing GTA VI running on a gaming laptop this November should lower their expectations considerably.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.
