Grasshopper Manufacture's 'Let It Die' transitions to offline play amid several PS5 updates and announcements.
In today’s PlayStation news, there’s a notable transition for fans of the hack-and-slash PS4 game Let It Die. The multiplayer version officially goes offline today, but players can continue their adventures thanks to a new offline mode. As reported by PlayStation Lifestyle, the developer has released the Let It Die: Offline Key DLC, allowing players to transition their existing game files into an offline version for a one-time fee. While this change marks the end of an era for the game’s multiplayer functionality, it ensures that fans can still enjoy the title on both PS4 and Steam.
Looking ahead, the PlayStation 5 ecosystem is preparing for a substantial update. Among anticipated developments, there’s the announcement of two back-to-back State of Play presentations later this week. According to Push Square, these presentations will not only cater to global PS5 interests but will also focus on titles emerging from Japan and Asia. This dual presentation structure suggests a busy and potentially revealing time for Sony’s gaming roadmap.
Meanwhile, a controversial yet awaited sequel, Toro 2, has its release date set for September 9, as noted by PlayStation Lifestyle. The game, which revisits the bullfighting arcades of its predecessor, will be available on multiple platforms including PS5. It’s a title that, despite its controversial heritage, has been eagerly anticipated by its niche fanbase.
Updates aren’t limited to new releases; enhancements to existing games continue to arrive. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will now support PS5 Pro, offering significant performance improvements, including ray tracing at 60fps, according to Push Square. These improvements highlight a continued commitment to enriching the existing game library.
In tandem with performance upgrades, Bloober Team’s The Medium is currently enjoying a significant discount on the PlayStation Store. At a 75% markdown, the psychological horror adventure is available for $12.49 until September 10, as per PlayStation Lifestyle. This discount marks a prime opportunity for horror enthusiasts to engage with a unique title at an unprecedented price.
Furthermore, Bandai Namco’s Ace Combat 8 gears up to deliver what is described as the most robust multiplayer experience in the series, with new modes and features that should appeal to fans of aerial combat. As reported by Push Square, the multiplayer component in Wings of Theve aims to set a new standard for the franchise.
Finally, Naughty Dog has wrapped up motion capture work for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, suggesting progress in one of their most ambitious titles yet, according to Push Square. Although the development journey continues, this milestone keeps anticipation high leading up to the State of Play announcements.
