One of the more criminally overlooked titles for the PS3, the Resistance franchise continues to put out some of the most impressive and imaginative games for Sony exclusively. It was a big week for the game as well, with a handful of screenshots being released last week, a new trailer debuting at the VGAs, and–most importantly—an official release date being announced.

The game takes place in an alternate history, where World War II never happened due to an alien invasion by a race called the Chimera. The remaining humans banded together to form a global resistance, but things are going poorly for the humans against the far more technologically advanced Chimeras. The first game took place in an occupied England, while the second took you to the shores of America. The third game also takes place in what is left of America, as you fight both the Chimera, and the warped remains of the human race.

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Sony currently has the PlayStation 5 selling well and the PlayStation 5 Pro available for those who want the most powerful console, but what about the PlayStation 6? Initially, the next-generation console was rumored to launch in 2027 (later in the year), but the ongoing memory crisis seems to have pushed the launch further, not just by months, but by years. 

As of April 2026, enthusiasts are more concerned about when the PlayStation 6 will actually arrive and how much more it will cost than the already-hiked PlayStation 5 prices, than how powerful it will be or what features it will offer. Even so, there are plenty of rumors surrounding all the aspects, including the latest leaks about a three-tier hardware strategy that includes the PS6 Lite, the PS6 Standard or Pro, and a dedicated handheld.
