Official PlayStation Podcast Episode 517: Surprising Revelations – PlayStation.Blog

Hey there! This week, Sid and Tim are diving into System Shock 2 — it’s like this cornerstone game that somehow laid the entire cosmic path for games to follow. Not sure why it blew my mind, but it did. Oh, and they were at the Summer Game Fest 2025 — yeah, that’s a thing — sharing tales of what’s hot and what’s not in gaming right now.

So here’s what they were rambling about:

Up next week (if I don’t forget before then):

• Ruffy And The Riverside on PS5 — no clue what it’s about, but the name sounds fun.
• System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster for PS5 and PS4 — the nostalgia is real!
• Black Desert for PS5 — I think it’s about deserts… or maybe just the color black? Who knows.
• Death Stranding 2: On The Beach for PS5 — Beaches? In a game? Sign me up.

By the way, PS Store’s running this awesome Mid-Year Deal. Up to 70% off! Like, almost giving the games away. Until July 2, so don’t snooze.

And as if that wasn’t enough gaming goodness for one week, there’s Ghost of Yōtei — apparently, Sucker Punch is all about exploring Hokkaido and ancient stuff. Sounds intense.

There’s also something called Climate Station. It’s for PS5 and PS VR2 and is all about climate science told through your console. Just another reason to ignore reality and jump into virtual reality, right?

Oh, and here’s the lineup for our quirky duo:

• Sid Shuman — he’s the Senior Director of Content Comm. if titles are your thing.
• Tim Turi — rocking it as the Content Comm. Manager. These guys keep the PlayStation vibes alive.

Shoutout to Dormilón for the killer theme song. It’s stuck in my head now. Great, more brain clutter.

Oh, and here’s a little fine print, because nothing in life is simple: game release dates could totally change. One second it’s July, next it’s August or… whatever. They pull details from press releases and ESRB ratings. Just roll with it.

So, yeah. That’s the scoop. Or something like it. Enjoy the chaos and the games.
