‘Death Stranding’ Second-Biggest PS4 Title to Launch This Year
Hideo Kojima’s work on Death Stranding has resulted in the title being the second-biggest PlayStation 4 game to launch this year. Coincidentally landing in second place on the UK physical sale charts ending November 9 (behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, naturally), Death Stranding is behind only Days Gone for moving the most units on the console on its launch date.
As a result of Death Stranding sales, Nintendo’s fun Luigi’s Mansion 3 (check out our review here) falls from Number 2 to Number 4 this week. EA’s Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville takes the tenth spot to round things out.
Meanwhile, Sony’s flawed but fun remake of MediEvil, which landed in the tenth spot last week, fell to 27th.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
