State of Play July 2021 PS5 and PS4 News Recap
Moss: Book II Announce Trailer PS VR
Quill is back! In Moss: Book II, the story picks up right where things left off following the successful rescue of Quill’s uncle Argus. Your adventure continues with the revelation that a winged tyrant leading the Arcane forces has turned its focus on Quill and is now on the hunt for her within the hexed castle where her uncle was held captive.
Lined with dangerous terrain, challenging puzzles, and enemies twisted in fire and steel, Quill’s journey will be trying—filled with triumph and heartbreak alike—but new allies, old friends, and the very nature of the castle itself can help as she works to save the world from a great unmaking.

The end is nigh, and it is up to you to save Midgard! Gather your Tribe in Tribes of Midgard, a 1-10 player co-op action survival RPG launching on PS5 and PS4 on July 27, 2021.
Midgard is under siege from unwelcome visitors. Mythical creatures, deadly spirits, and gigantic brutes threaten to bring on Ragnarok—the end of the world! It’s up to you, a mighty Einherjar, to cut short your glorious feast in Valhalla and return to Midgard.
There, you’ll need to become the ultimate Viking and survive—even thrive—to save your village, and the world, from total destruction.
Luckily, you don’t have to brave it alone: your (mostly) fearless tribe of co-op companions will help you build up village defenses and find treasures through a vast, beautiful realm—all while doomsday ticks closer and closer.
But don’t let that stop your tribe from having the best apocalypse of your lives. “Surthrive” the Viking way in Tribes of Midgard, a multiplayer, action-survival RPG of gigantic proportions. Pre-Order Tribes of Midgard today!
