The new titles will further expand PS Home’s “core experience” that launched in November with new games and genre-based districts, SCEA said. The new titles are Cutthroats: Battle for Black Powder Cove (released Wednesday), No Man’s Land (spring) and Mercia, developed by Lockwood Publishing (summer). SCEA said the first title is the largest multiplayer experience in PS Home to date, allowing up to 24 gamers to battle aboard pirate ships. The game is free to play, but users wishing to expand their ship’s offenses can purchase virtual coins to use for upgrades, it said. No Man’s Land is “arguably PS Home’s most ambitious title yet,” offering gamers “the most advanced shooter experience the platform has ever seen,” it said. Mercia is PS Home’s first multiplayer role-playing title and will give gamers “the deepest” role-playing game “experience available on the platform,” SCEA said. The company is also launching a new “Adventure District” for gamers to explore on PS Home, it said.
