PS This is Awesome: Episode 373

Fred’s still plugging away at Octopath Traveler 2, now around 38 hours in. Progress is happening, but it’s slowing down a bit—he’s feeling a bit under-leveled, which is making battles tougher than they should be. Meanwhile, Jake’s sticking with Robocop: Rogue City and still having a good time with it.

We didn’t get any listener feedback this week, so let’s jump into the news.

We finally got confirmation that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is heading to PS5 with a release date of April 17, 2025. Space Marine 2 just dropped a massive update called Trygon, featuring a new operation, the Inferno Pistol, new cosmetics, and even prestige ranks for the multiplayer crowd. The update is live now, and there’s a trailer to check out.

We also got the full gameplay reveal for Marathon, and it’s officially coming September 23, 2025. It’s a squad-based extraction shooter and feels very Destiny 2-esque in terms of style and polish.

Mafia: The Old Country had its release date accidentally leaked by 2K through a Steam post—looks like it’s dropping August 8, 2025. Not the most graceful reveal, but now we know.

With The Masters wrapping up, EA Sports PGA Tour is available now for PS Plus Extra members. Also, the PS Portal got a system update that improves PS Plus Cloud Streaming, so if you're using one of those, things should feel smoother.

In TV news, The Last of Us is officially getting a third season on HBO, which should surprise no one given how well it’s doing.

We also touched on our sideshow this week and talked about GrimKeep, a new roguelike RPG/dice builder from the makers of Demeo. The voiceover has a Darkest Dungeon vibe, and the art style is clearly drawing inspiration from the same space. Could be one to keep an eye on.
