Hello, everyone, welcome to the official PlayStation podcast, episode 534. I'm going to host this one as we've just tidied. I'm Brad Elston, and I'm joined on my left by Kristen. Hello. And on my right by Odell. Hey, hey, everybody. Hi. We've got a lot of exciting stuff to talk through today. It's a busy week here at PlayStation, as you might imagine, if you're listening to this on Friday or the weekend of posting, because we had a big old state of play this week. A big one. Big one. Over 60 minutes. Longest we've worked on up to this point, as far as state of plays go. But a lot of exciting stuff. Definitely check out PlayStation blog, and course, our social channels across all the platforms. Can you name them all? Question mark. We don't have to get into that. There's so very many, and we're simply on all of them. So give a look and I'll listen to all the other great. And we'll talk a little bit about it here in the show still to come. but halfway through the episode, though, Odell, you had a chance to talk to someone from one of our big announcements of the show, which was God of War Sons of Sparta, which is out now on PS5. Yeah, it is out now. I hope everyone's enjoying it, playing it. Yeah, I got to talk with Zach Manco, who's the game director of the game from Megatat Studios, along with James Deegan, who's the founder and CEO of Megatat Studios. And, you know, you get to hear more from them later. But as you said, Brett, God of War, Sons of Sparta is out now. And we get to hear more from the team about that later but here's some next week news release

highlights uh avow it's going to be out on ps5 so is deaf how sticks blades of greed star trek

voyager across the unknown i know you're a star trek fan brett i i saw this and was like i immediately

had to go look up it's a survival game game set obviously in the Star Trek Voyager universe,

and I was like, huh, I did not.

This one escaped my notice completely,

so I will have to inquire further.

A big Star Trek fan and Sid, you know, who's on the show,

sometimes I think our Star Trek nerddom will leak through

for like Next Generation Deep Space Nine Voyager, particularly this era. era so yeah i'm very intrigued by the sudden voyager game um because i think

uh just passed its 30th anniversary when it debuted in 95 my goodness oh my and then the next

one also next week's new release highlights subject to change without without notice. East 10, proud Nordics.

I'm also a big East fan. I was going to say, I know you've been a fan of that series. And I never did play East 10 because not long after they announced East 10, they announced Proud Nordics, which is a follow-up to East 10. Action RPG series has been going on for longer than 30 years. PS4 East 8 that came out many years ago

Look up that song Sunshine Coastline longer than 30 years. PS4, East 8 that came out many years ago,

who look up that song Sunshine Coastline.

That doesn't make you happy.

I don't know what it will, because that is one of the all-timer

video game music tracks.

So I will be checking out East 10 Proud Nordics soon.

All right.

Play now.

Then I also leap into this week's news. And then, of course, we'll be talking about state of play. All right. Play now. Then I also leap into this week's news.
