NACON, a major player in video game publishing and designer of premium gaming accessories, is delighted to announce the forthcoming release of a new controller officially licensed for PlayStation. With over 6 million NACON PS4 controllers sold, including 1.6 million of its NACON Pro line since 2016, the features of NACON controllers have won over legions of competitive gamers.
“This new model in the Revolution line is the culmination of years of development and NACON’s passion for gaming. We wanted to create the best controller possible, a controller that would give gamers the upper hand. The Revolution 5 Pro combines the best of our expertise, technological innovation and ergonomics,” said Yannick Allaert, Head of Accessories Division at NACON. “I want to thank Sony Interactive Entertainment, our long-time partner, who has enabled us to develop this product in the best way possible.”
TECHNOLOGICAL PROWESS AND ACHIEVEMENT
The Revolution 5 Pro is the result of years of research as well as constant discussion with players and professional gamers about previous NACON controllers. The result is a unique controller for players in terms of design, ergonomics, comfort, precision and technical innovation. Among the new features is Hall Effect technology which allows for greater precision, with the joysticks and triggers, as well as a very long service life. The entire controller has also been designed with environmental responsibility in mind. The ability to repair and replace key components was a prerequisite during the initial design phase.
Compatible with PS5, PS4 and PC*, used wired or wireless, the officially licensed Revolution 5 Pro is the perfect ally for competitive gamers who require high performance. As well as being fully customizable to suit every player, the controller can be used more than 10 hours before recharging. An additional benefit for gamers is that it connects to wireless headphones via Bluetooth as well as wired headsets via the included 3.5mm jack.
The Revolution 5 Pro from NACON will be available in December 2023 at leading U.S. retailers for MSRP $199.99. Pre orders available starting November at Best Buy and GameStop.
Siberia: merciless, unforgiving, a realm of death. No winter, no matter how brutal, can rival this icy purgatory. Today THQ Nordic and developer Ashborne Games delivered a new trailer for Last Train Home offering a closer look at the perilous path that is the only hope for the Czechoslovak Legion fleeing the aftermath of WWI, a desperate odyssey toward the distant harbor of Vladivostok and their final chance for salvation.
On this relentless journey, you’ll confront not only the numbing cold, but also the remorseless Red Army. Hunger has become a loyal companion, and the train, a vessel of dwindling hope, sputters on the verge of running dry—fuel that both propels the steel beast and preserves the fragile warmth of your legionary brethren. The fate of these valiant souls is destined by your decisions.
Last Train Home thrusts players into the grim aftermath of the First World War. As a commander of the Czechoslovak Legion, you’ll find yourself trapped in the chaos of civil war in the heart of Russia. Aboard an armored train, you must venture into the unforgiving landscape of Siberia and safely bring your men back home.
About Last Train Home
The Great War is over – but the fight continues. Command a legion of soldiers desperately trying to make their way home amidst the chaos of civil war. Lead them through the unforgiving wilderness onboard an armored train. Manage your crew and resources and try to survive.
Squanch Games is thrilled to announce the High on Knife DLC for its breakout hit High On Life will launch on October 3 for all platforms. High On Knife gives Knifey his chance to shine (and stab) on a fully realized new planetary environment loaded with all-new characters, hazards, and spooky surprises.
“We really leaned into horror with High On Knife, so it only made sense to launch it around Halloween,” says Mike Fridley, Squanch’s Studio Director. “The DLC brings more goop, nastier body horror, creepier bosses, and all kinds of strange new stuff to the world we established with High On Life.”
Squanch released an all-new stop-motion teaser trailer that highlights the DLC’s creepy vibes and showcases the new gross-out trading cards you can collect – created by the legendary Joe Simko, the illustrator known for his work with [ICONIC TRADING CARD IP].
High On Knife introduces a pair of brand-new talking gun characters, too. Harper, voiced by Sarah Sherman (Saturday Night Live), is an ex-military pistol who’s trying to come to terms with her traumatic past. And then there‘s B.A.L.L., which is a pinball-inspired gun operated by a coordinated group of little guys who are doing their best. Players have to explore a creepy new sci-fi setting while being hunted by Mux, a mysterious new boss voiced by the incomparable Gabourey Sidibe (American Horror Story, Precious).
High On Life, now available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store; Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles; and with Xbox Game Pass on console, PC, and cloud, has surpassed more than 7.5 million unique players worldwide since its launch in mid-December. High On Life was the top seller on Steam during launch week, the biggest Xbox Game Pass release of 2022, the biggest 3rd party launch in Game Pass history, and the biggest single-player game launch on Game Pass ever.
High On Life follows the misadventures of an unmotivated high-school graduate who becomes Earth’s last hope following an alien invasion. These interstellar invaders are on a constant search for their next intoxicating experience, and, unfortunately, they discover that humans provide an exquisite high. The only solution is to become a bounty hunter, tracking down the kingpins in the alien cartel to stop their horrifying harvest. It makes sense in context, OK?!
Publisher Rogue Games and developer Plot Twist Studio have announced that the cinematic and Lovecraftian action platformer The Last Case of Benedict Fox is coming soon for PlayStation 5. This version represents the definitive edition of the atmospheric Metroidvania thanks to a series of improvements over the original release.
Winner of the Gamescom 2022 Award for “Most Wanted Microsoft Xbox Game,” The Last Case of Benedict Fox will run at full 4K and 60 frames per second to bring the nightmarish realm of trauma and tribulations to life.

Players of the original release on PC and Xbox Series S/X praised Fox’s rich atmosphere, compelling narrative, and clever puzzles, but some critics raised issues with the game’s slower-paced combat and platforming mechanics.

Furthermore, enhancements to visuals, UI, enemy AI, puzzles, and more have also been introduced alongside new gameplay features.

New trains and new routes mark the arrival of the latest game in the Train Sim World franchise with high-speed passenger trains, Alpine scenery and an iconic steam locomotive all making their way into Train Sim World 4: Deluxe Edition – out today on PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms.
Also arriving are plenty of new and improved gameplay features. Free Roam and Photo Mode provide two huge changes to gameplay, with the former allowing the spawning and de-spawning of trains anywhere on a route and plotting paths to any point on the map. Once on their way, those with a keen eye for visuals can pause the game in Photo Mode and capture the perfect railfan shots for their own collection, or to share with others.
“We’re thrilled to bring these new playing experiences to Train Sim World fans. Free Roam has really got the community talking, with the potential to take their trains almost anywhere in a sandbox setting and seeing what players do with the improved creative tools will also be exciting to see. From easy-to-make custom liveries to complex gameplay elements in the PC Editor (beta), we’ve really focused on bringing more creativity for both passionate railway hobbyists and casual simulation players.” – Executive Producer Matt Peddlesden.
Railfans will enjoy the new routes for this iteration with the arterial East Coast Main Line between Doncaster and Peterborough featuring LNER’s high-speed Azuma train.
