Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the upcoming PS5 title, is reported to require a whopping 200GB of storage space.
The PlayStation scene is buzzing this week with a mix of significant updates and intriguing announcements. Of particular note, Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, has disclosed that the PS5 version of the game could occupy up to 200GB of storage space. This raises questions about storage management for PS5 users, especially given the limited SSD space available in the console. The extraordinary file size is attributed to the game’s expansive environment and extensive content as it closes out the FF7 remake series. For players eager to dive into the concluding chapter, ensuring enough storage will be essential. This detailed discussion was reported by Push Square.
Game Discounts and Upcoming Releases
In retail news, a couple of notable discounts are actively drawing attention. Capcom’s Resident Evil Village, a key title in the renowned horror franchise, is now available for just $9.99 in a limited-time offer on the PlayStation Store for both PS4 and PS5. The promotion runs until September 24, as detailed by PlayStation Lifestyle. Similarly, Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater, a surprise hit RPG from 2020, is being sold at a mere $3.99, also until September 24, which is notably cheaper than its usual price. More details on this offer can be found on PlayStation Lifestyle.
New Titles and Developer Insights
New projects and developer insights are always exciting, and this week brings a hint of what’s to come. Media Molecule is reportedly working on a PlayStation-exclusive game inspired by Animal Crossing. While it’s not set to release until 2027, early buzz suggests it won’t be a game-as-a-service, aiming instead to capture the charm of social-simulation games. More on this development is reported by PlayStation Lifestyle.
Meanwhile, in industry commentary, Bruce Straley, formerly of Naughty Dog, expressed his frustration with the formulaic nature of modern AAA games. Reflecting in Edge magazine, Straley’s critique highlights ongoing discussions about innovation versus risk in big-budget titles, as Push Square elaborates.
Looking Ahead
As gamers get ready for Control Resonant‘s launch on September 24, anticipation is mounting. Remedy Entertainment aims to broaden the paranatural narrative that enthralled fans in its predecessor. For deeper insights, including some hands-on impressions, see PlayStation Blog.
