<p>Pre-Orders are already up for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/crystal-dynamics/">Crystal Dynamics</a>’s Avengers game, and we just got a look at something called the Earth’s Mightiest Edition.</p>

<p>This Earth’s Mightiest Edition not only comes with the deluxe version of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-avengers-project/">Marvel's Avengers</a>, but it will also feature specific memorabilia alluding to each member. Each piece from the package is attributed to a playable Avenger in the game. You have Black Widow’s belt buckle, a Mjolnir keychain, a Hulk bobblehead, blueprints for Iron Man’s prototype armor, a printed photo of Kamala with the Avengers, and probably the most valuable piece, a colored statue of the Captain America monument in the game.</p>

<p>As for items not related to specific heroes, you get an Avengers steelbook as well as an ‘Honorary Avengers Pin’. Plus you get access to the game 72 hours before the official launch.</p>

<p>Pre-ordering this edition will cost you a whopping $199.99, but it’s probably fair, considering that the statue of Captain America alone is probably worth close to $150. If you’re up for it, you can pre-order it here.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Marvel’s Avengers is an epic, third-person, action-adventure game that combines an original, cinematic story with single-player and co-operative gameplay*.

We've rounded up the roundups with this list of the best collections on the PlayStation 4. These are the highest-rated collections available on the Sony console. 

10 Best PlayStation 4 Collections

<p>The spread of the Coronavirus has already lead to a lot of shortages and cancelled events. Besides gaming tournaments getting postponed in China, news suggests that there could be a shortage when it comes to the production of the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/" title="Nintendo Switch games">Nintendo Switch</a> this year.</p>

<p>According to Bloomberg, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nintendo/">Nintendo</a> may not be able to meet consumer demands when it comes to the Switch seeing that a lot of key components are produced in China, and there is now a shortage of supplies; delaying the assembly partner which is located in Vietnam.</p>

<p>A spokesperson from Nintendo told the site:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">"We do not see any major impact on the shipment to the U.S. currently, but we will remain vigilant and take steps if necessary. It’s possible the supply would be affected by the virus if it becomes more widespread and prolonged."</div>

<p>The assessment isn’t really solid yet, but it’s very likely that something could change down the line. Some think that this could make an impact to the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/animal-crossing-new-horizons/">Animal Crossing: New Horizons</a> this coming March 20. The special edition bundle for the game included an Animal Crossing theme for the Switch, and it’s also said to have been delayed because of the outbreak.</p>

</div>

<p>For now, all we can really do is wait and see what happens. There are still probably some Switches available for purchase now, but maybe we could see some change in the market come April. Time will tell.</p>

Besides gaming tournaments getting postponed in China, news suggests that there could be a shortage when it comes to the production of the Nintendo Switch this year.

Coronavirus Outbreak Could Lead to Shortage of Nintendo Switch Production

<p>While everyone is busy waiting for Rocksteady’s next game, a lot of people still can’t stop talking about how great the Arkham series is. With The Batman movie set to come out in 2021, PlayStation has revealed that the Arkham Collection is now on a massive discount in the <a href="https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1018-CUSA00133_00-ARKHAMBUNDLE0000?emcid=or-st-234823&utm_campaign=20200207_siea_organicsocial_playstationretro&utm_content=PlayStation_Retro&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=&utm_term=or-st-234823">PS Store</a>.</p>

<p>The sale will only last until <strong>Feb. 22</strong>, and will include three games, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/batman-arkham-knight/">Batman: Arkham Knight</a>. While Knight is considered to be the weakest entry of the three, the other two are still solid games with a great story and fantastic gameplay. I mean, Knight was able to give us a great new element with the Batmobile, but at some point, you stop becoming Batman and just become a tank for a good chunk of the game.</p>

<p>Either way, it’s a solid deal, and very much worth your time if you haven’t tried the games out already. Though we don’t know when Rocksteady plans to release their next game, a lot of fans are waiting on WB Montreal for their <a href="https://www.gamesradar.com/arkham-origins-studio-appears-to-be-teasing-a-new-batman-game/">next Batman title</a> which will apparently feature the Court of Owls.
</p>
<div class="direct-quote">Batman: Arkham Collection brings you the definitive versions of Rocksteady's Arkham Trilogy games, including all post-launch content, in one complete collection. <br/>

Experience two of the most critically acclaimed titles of the last generation - Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, with fully remastered and updated visuals. Complete your experience with the explosive finale to the Arkham series in Batman: Arkham Knight.

<p>Mixing Mystery Dungeon’s roguelike elements with Pokemon’s charm,  Rescue Team DX allows you to forge your own personality and experience the magic of becoming an actual Pokemon again.</p> 

<p>While it still retains the classic 16 starter Pokemon, this DX version will feature new mechanics not seen in the originals such as mega evolution, an auto mode and finally an auto-save. Coming this March 6 for the Nintendo Switch</p>



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/langrisser-i-and-ii/">Langrisser I & II on Switch</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/langrisser-i-and-ii/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/langrisser-i-and-ii/">PS4</a></h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nis-america/">NIS America</a>’s revival of the legendary Langrisser I and II is taking us to their magical kingdom once again, now in high-definition!</p>

<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps/">Ori & The Will Of The Wisps on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p>After suffering from a minor delay, The Will Of The Wisps’ release date was pushed back by just one month to polish what needs to be polished. The next adventure of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/moon-studios-gmbh/">Moon Studios</a>' adorable forest guardian takes us to even greater places beyond the first game’s magical forest.</p> 

<p>In this sequel, combat is more refined, especially with Ori’s now nimble movements. In addition to that, its heavy Metroidvania elements will receive its much-needed improvement for a satisfying platformer journey with enough replay value. It comes out this March 11th as a Microsoft exclusive.</p> 



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nioh-2/">NiOh 2</a></h2>

	<p>A sequel to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/team-ninja/">Team Ninja</a>’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nioh/">fictional Samurai game</a>. Nioh 2 is going to be a prequel with a standalone story. Play a customized character that’s part human, part yokai and venture around the new Dark Realms with great Japanese warlords like Hideyoshi. It’s not <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/sekiro-shadows-die-twice/">Sekiro</a>, nor Tenchu, but its action-oriented combat gives more room for some stylish sword to sword action.</p> 

<p>It’s still essentially a single-player experience. However, the improved multiplayer which allows up to three players will definitely make the Yokai battles that much easier. A PlayStation 4 Exclusive, it’s set to release this May 13, 2020.</p> 



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/my-hero-ones-justice-2/">My Hero One’s Justice 2 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/my-hero-ones-justice-2/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/my-hero-ones-justice-2/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/my-hero-ones-justice-2/">Switch</a></h2>

Natsu and his guild of powerful magic users enter gaming territory.</p> 

<p>Unlike their other anime buddies getting a fighting game treatment, Fairy Tail is a full-fledged RPG and it is based on the anime and manga’s world. Building up your Guild’s reputation is the main goal and its turn-based 3 versus 3 combat is reminiscent of the JRPGs of old.</p>

<p>It’s basically a more polished version of the vanilla <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps3/persona-5/">Persona 5</a> which was supposed to be a PS3 only title. Royal not only features new cutscenes and palaces, but it also comes with a snazzy new soundtrack that will definitely spice up our JRPG adventure.</p>

<p>Meet new and familiar faces in this sci-fi spectacle. This is Valve’s most ambitious work to date. As a VR entry, things might be risky due to its demanding technology, but given Valve’s track record, this whole new story might be something huge for the future of VR.</p> 

<p>Coming sometime this March 2020 as a PC Exclusive.</p>



<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/mount-and-blade-ii-bannerlord/">Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord</a></h2>

<h2>25. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/the-red-strings-club/">The Red Strings Club</a></h2>

  <p>An exercise in morality in a twisted Cyberpunk society. The Red Strings Club is a point and clicks adventure where you play as a Bartender tending to sophisticated and ‘odd’ customers. Experiment with various cocktails to learn more about their personality and uncover the deeper mysteries of its world.</p> 

<p>Although short, what makes this indie title memorable is its take on relevant social issues despite happening in the far future. Making tough decisions and questioning the meaning of life is The Red Strings Club’s lasting appeal.</p> 

<p>It receives a playscore of 8.46</p> 



<h2>24. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/the-last-door-season-2-collectors-edition/">The Last Door: Season 2 - Collector’s Edition</a></h2>

  <p>The second installment of The Game Kitchen’s Lovecraftian point and click adventure. Season 2 not only opened new doors to its seemingly terrifying world, but it also introduced a whole breed of madness worthy of Lovecraft and Allan Poe’s influence.</p> 

<p>This Collector’s Edition features four full episodes with extra content for players willing to learn more about its mythos. But of course, if you want to get a dose of this indie title, it’s advisable you play the first Season prior. Sadly it’s not available on the Game Pass.</p> 

  <p>It receives a playscore of 8.47</p> 



<h2>23. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/yokus-island-express/">Yoku’s Island Express</a></h2>

  <p>Villa Gorilla's action platformer is a union of unlikely genres. Set in a sprawling 2D open world, Yoku takes you on a Metroidvania tour of ancient caverns in--get this--pinball fashion.</p> 

<p>Bouncing players around from one end to the next, it's a unique adventure experience that, for some reviewers, definitely enhances the genre's usual meandering pace. On top of its charming visuals and overall presentation, it also offers engaging puzzles, with each area always ripe with secrets to scour for.</p>

  <p>A playscore of 8.57</p>

  <p>Amanita Design’s otherworldly exploration game puts you into the tiny shoes of a curious space gnome in search for answers. It’s not the kind of indie game that wows you with its addicting combat, what makes Samorost engaging is its impressive visuals.</p> 

<p>Travel across the cosmos with your Magical Flute and visit nine unique alien worlds to discover. Each has its own set of surprises accompanied by an entrancing sound and music design. It’s the kind of game you should play on a lonely weekend and feel every minute of its atmosphere.</p> 

  <p>It has a playscore of 8.60 </p>



<h2>20. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/infinifactory/">Infinifactory</a></h2>

  <p>We’ve seen enough of 3D-based sandbox games lately, but this 2015 gem was something special in the realm of puzzles. If you love <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/spacechem/">SpaceChem</a>, then this is its ‘somewhat’ 3D makeover.</p> 

<p>To appease your alien overlords, build working factories that can assemble products. It sounds easy on paper, but its ‘almost’ realistic technical and engineering mechanics can really push your brain to its limits.</p> 

  <p>A playscore of 8.60</p> 



<h2>19. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/frostpunk/">Frostpunk</a></h2>

<p>Make difficult choices that keep your humans well-fed and composed. Assign Laws that might boost or break your people’s morale, but it’s all for the greater good. It’s another fascinating entry from 11 Bit and as part of the Xbox Game Pass, this one is a steal.</p> 

  <p>It has a playscore of 8.62</p> 



<h2>18. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/ape-out/">APE OUT</a></h2>

<h2>16. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/ori-and-the-blind-forest-definitive-edition/">Ori And The Blind Forest Definitive Edition</a></h2>

  <p>Of course, who couldn’t forget about Microsoft’s beloved forest spirit?</p> 

<p>Take control of the adorable guardian Tree Spirit, Ori, as he carries out his duty to save the magical forest from the growing darkness. With one of gaming’s most fluid platforming controls, his journey around the ethereal foliage is one that reminds us of the joys of classic Metroidvania.</p> 

<p>Backed with carefully crafted visuals and symphonic soundtracks, Moon Studios' Ori and the Blind Forest is a worthy entry to the Xbox Game Pass’ long list of great titles.</p> 

  <p>A playscore of 8.68 </p>



<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/valkyria-chronicles/">Valkyria Chronicles</a></h2>

  <p>There’s not a lot of JRPGS that offer a refreshing realism. What this 2008 PlayStation 3 classic depicts the thrills and tragedies of war in JRPG fashion.</p> 

<p>Put your tactical wits to the test with the game's unique Blitz Combat System where you move your characters in the battlefield real-time but with a turn-based twist. But, while the action of its hybrid gameplay is already a strong selling point, Valkyria Chronicles really drives it home with a gripping narrative told in their gorgeous art style.</p> 

  <p>It has a playscore of 8.71</p>

<p>We may not be getting <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/crystal-dynamics/">Crystal Dynamics</a>’ <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-avengers-project/">Marvel's Avengers</a> this May, but it looks like things are going smoothly for the new launch this September. Just in, we have a new trailer which marks the launching of pre-orders for one of the year’s most highly-anticipated games.</p>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Marvel’s Avengers is an epic, third-person, action-adventure game that combines an original, cinematic story with single-player and co-operative gameplay. Assemble into a team of up to four players online, master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.</div>

<p>Like with every other pre-order deal, you’ll be able to get some goods like the Marvel Legacy Outfit Pack, early access, and a lot of other exclusive material. While Beta access looks to be available for every other platform, it’s said that it will come earliest for PlayStation subscribers.</p>

<p>With the success of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/marvels-spider-man/">Spider-Man for the PS4</a>, everyone is wondering what <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a> has planned for Avengers. After all, franchise is the biggest one in the box office today, so you can expect the same kind of hype is attached when it comes to video games. While I’m not too thrilled that it’s not based on the film’s lore, I’m sure that this opens up the story to have some real impact to players.</p>

<p>Catch Marvel’s Avengers when it becomes available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/the-avengers-project/" title="Marvels Avengers on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-avengers-project/" title="Marvels Avengers on PlayStation 4">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-avengers-project/" title="Marvels Avengers on PC">PC</a> on Sept. 4.</p>

<p>One of the most hotly anticipated games for the year is The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-2/">Last of Us Part II</a>, and after the free release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-remastered/">The Last of Us Remastered</a> on PS Plus, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/naughty-dog/">Naughty Dog</a> has a new freebie for fans waiting for the sequel.</p>


<p>Just in, a new theme featuring Ellie is <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1227671965449715713">now available</a> for the PlayStation 4. What’s cool is, it’s also a dynamic theme, meaning it changes depending on the time of day. During the day, it features Ellie peacefully playing her guitar in the woods; after 5 p.m. the wallpaper changes to Ellie in the dark, holding a machete and hiding from other human survivors.</p>

<p>If you want the dynamic theme and you’re located in America, you’ll need the code <strong>4FMP-BBNM-J5L3</strong> for the PlayStation Store. If you’re located in Europe/AU/NZ/Russia/Middle East/Africa/India, you’ll need to input this code: <strong>9DEK-PKNG-N445</strong>. As for players in Japan or Asia, you can check out your country’s official PlayStation Social channel.</p>

<p>You can also download the two themes as high-resolution wallpapers <a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/playstation-wallpapers/#thelastofuspartii" title="The Last of Us Part II Wallpapers">here</a>.</p>

<p>It’s been a long wait for The Last of Us, but everyone is excited to come back to this world with Ellie. We don’t know what happened with Joel yet, but hopefully the game has all the answers we need.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Five years after their dangerous journey across the post-pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled down in Jackson, Wyoming. Living amongst a thriving community of survivors has allowed them peace and stability, despite the constant threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors. When a violent event disrupts that peace, Ellie embarks on a relentless journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible, one by one, she is confronted with the devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.</div>

The Last of Us Part II may be months away, but PlayStation has a way to get players feel hyped before the release

PS4 Gets This New Dynamic Theme Based on The Last of Us Part II

We chat with Simon Joslin, the Executive Producer and Level Designer behind the The Gardens Between to tell us more about the development and inspiration behind this beautiful game.

How The Gardens Between Was Inspired by The Minority Report

<p>Back in 2017, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/massive-entertainment/">Ubisoft Massive</a> had announced that they would be working on a game based on James Cameron’s Avatar, but ever since the announcement, we haven’t gotten any specific updates. What’s news is, the game is still in the works, but everything is still being kept under wraps.</p>

<p>As per <a href="https://screenrant.com/avatar-game-ubisoft-division-2-team-update/">ScreenRant</a>, Ubisoft Massive producer Jesper Karabanov has confirmed that the Avatar game is still in the works. During a promotion for The Division 2: Warlords of New York in San Francisco, Karabanov simply had this to say when asked if Avatar was still in development: <strong>"Yes, but I can't speak about it. I can't talk about it."</strong></p>

<p>Seeing that Warlords of New York was a lot to work on for the developers, it would be understandable that they would put a movie-based game on hold. Besides, Cameron is set to release the first of his Avatar sequels next year; so it would be ideal that Ubisoft would release the game around that time—so they can catch on all the hype that will be surrounding the film.</p>

<p>With Avatar 2 set to come out on Dec. 16, 2021, it’s possible that this game from Massive is going to release on the same month, or possibly even earlier. I mean, if it’s been in development since 2017, it has to be big, right?</p>

<p>No official release date has been set for Ubisoft Massive’s Avatar game, but you can catch <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/tom-clancys-the-division-2-warlords-of-new-york/">The Division 2: Warlords of New York coming out this March 3 for the Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tom-clancys-the-division-2-warlords-of-new-york/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tom-clancys-the-division-2-warlords-of-new-york/">PC</a>.</p>
