Apex Legends Valkyrie Character PS5 Trailer
Meet Valkyrie, the ultimate wingman and a Legend who's poised to dominate the sky. Daughter of notorious Titan Pilot Viper, Valkyrie lost her father at a young age. She inherited her father’s love of flight, but not his sense of duty. Except in one regard.
She swore to kill the man who’d sent her father to die: his Faction Leader, Kuben Blisk. But when the moment came to pull the trigger, she hesitated -- he spoke of Viper with respect. And he challenged her to be better. Valkyrie shot him anyway, but she didn’t take his life. Just his invitation card to the Apex Games.

Sony Announces New PlayStation Partnership with Discord Service
Today Sony announced plans for a new partnership with the Discord communication service popular with video gamers.
While we have both a public PSXHAX Discord Channel for news updates and another private 'floating' channel for PSXHAX Member Verifications to access the latest PS4 FPKGs, I still prefer oldskool methods like iRC EFnet for group chats even though Discord recently halted buyout negotiations with Microsoft.
Here's the official Press Release from SIE President & CEO Jim Ryan, to quote: Announcing PlayStation's new Partnership with Discord
Popular communication service will integrate with your social experience on PlayStation beginning early next year
At PlayStation, we’re constantly looking for new ways to enable players around the world to connect with one another, form new friendships and communities, and share fun experiences and lasting memories. It’s in this spirit that we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Discord, the communication service popularized by gamers and used by more than 140 million people every month around the world.
Together, our teams are already hard at work connecting Discord with your social and gaming experience on PlayStation Network. Our goal is to bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile starting early next year, allowing friends, groups, and communities to hang out, have fun, and communicate more easily while playing games together.
To bring these experiences to life for our players, Sony Interactive Entertainment has made a minority investment as part of Discord’s Series H round.
From our very first conversation with co-founders Jason Citron and Stan Vishnevskiy, I was inspired by their lifelong love for gaming and our teams’ shared passion to help bring...

Latest PlayStation Now Games for May 2021 Unveiled by Sony
Those who are members of Sony's PlayStation Now service will be pleased to know they just unveiled the latest additions to their PS Now digital library featuring Jump Force, Nioh and Streets of Rage 4 all playable starting tomorrow on May 4th. 
Here are further details on each new PS Now title from SIE Senior Manager of Game Services Content Adam Michel via PS Blog, to quote:
Nioh
Take up your sword and travel to Japan’s blood-bathed Sengoku period – an era ravaged by warring states and dark, malevolent forces – and cut a violent path through the land as the masterless samurai, William. Cross blades in brutal hand-to-hand combat, wielding swords, axes, spears and even war hammers against foes both human and demon.
In this brutal third-person adventure, you must endure the vicious encounters and learn from your mistakes: each death will bring you resurrection and each resurrection a greater resolve to overcome your foes.
Jump Force
Some of the most famous Manga heroes are thrown into a whole new battleground: our world. Uniting to fight the most dangerous threat, the Jump Force will bear the fate of the entire human kind.
Create your own avatar and jump into an original Story Mode to fight alongside some of the most powerful Manga heroes from Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter X Hunter, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu Yu Hakusho, Saint Seiya and many others. Or head to the Online Lobby to challenge other players and discover lots of modes and activities.
Jump Force is available on PlayStation Now until Monday, August 2, 2021.
Streets of Rage 4
Sega’s iconic side-scrolling beat’em up is reimagined for the modern generation. Featuring fan favorites Axel and Blaze, newcomers Cherry Hunter, Floyd Iraia (and unlockable guest stars), clean up the streets of Wood Oak City the only way you know: with fist and foot.
Pull off stylish combos alone, with up to three friends locally, or team up with another player online. And all the while enjoying a soundtrack – created by industry icons – that perfectly accompanies the action.
Streets of Rage 4 is available on PlayStation Now until Monday, November 1, 2021.
