It’s very, very nearly November, and the next few weeks are going to be a flurry of behemoth franchises crashing onto store shelves, so this week’s update could almost be considered the calm before the storm. That’s not to say there isn’t plenty to be getting on with, and the PS4 sees the release of Dark Souls-alike Lords of the Fallen as its most notable retail release later this week.
This is joined by a few cross-buy games, as The Unfinished Swan spreads its wings on both PS4 and PS Vita, and it’s already out on PS3, of course. Also, Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops is out on PS3 and PS Vita, a different permutation of cross-buy platforms.
Last but not least for this quick summary, the PS Vita gets to enjoy the western release of the intriguing Japanese Action RPG, Freedom Wars, and MX vs. ATV fans can get their hands on the revived game series once more, on PS3.
Obviously, there’s more to it than that, so for more games, DLC and even PS4 themes, keep on scrolling for this week’s full store update, courtesy of the EU PlayStation Blog:

Battle Islands and the Unfinished Swan for me. Since those will both be free for me, might pick up The Evil Within season pass.
Gutted there’s no Costume Quest 2 :(
GhostViper
Ah, I´ve been waiting for NRK´s TV app. And just in time for series 3 of Lillyhammer.
And I´m looking forward to The Unfinished Swan to. Never got around to it on PS3.
Avenger
Freedom Wars and Ys Celceta are both brilliant prices. Might be tempted to buy one of them.
zb100
Tempted to pick up both.
Been waiting for both Freedom Wars to launch and also a price drop for Ys – then much like buses…
coxy1701
I thought walking dead season 1 for PS4 supposed to be out or is that Friday?
tactical20
Downloaded MXGP demo, Youtube app, 3 free (albeit crap) themes, and would get Unfinished Swan, but it’s not there.
tactical20
Update: The swan has landed, I repeat, the swan has landed.
TSBonyman
It’s eiderdown or it isn’t..

Comment of the week.

*applauds* :-)

Interesting to see a Network Media player out for the Vita.
Wonder if we’ll be seeing a version come to the PS4 in the not to distant future?!
Dominic Leighton
Freedom Wars for me, it’s a great price for a new title!
cam_manutd
Got Metro 2 weeks ago :/ would recommend anyone to play Metro. Even better if you play the game in Russian with subs.
Kennykazey
No Costume Quest 2?! I can maybe hold out until next week for a PS4 version, but it was promised to be out in time for Halloween!
I might just have to get it on Wii U then.
Stefan L
It’s out in the US, but there’s the usual rigmarole of separate EU certification that’s seemingly holding it up a little bit.
Kennykazey
Oh my. Screw certification, I’m getting it today!
Thanks for letting me know, you just saved my day! :-D
TSBonyman
Just the freebies for me this week – Battle Islands although it’ll possibly be rife with micro transactions, the free Vita/PS4 versions of Unfinished Swan and the MX and Deadfall demos.
Oh, and there’s a new Live from Playstation app for the Vita? Excellent, i’ll grab that too.
