Ed-0: Zombie Uprising (PS5 physical only/October 10) – Experience the year 1854 in a fictional Edo-era Japan in this action rogue-like title! A mysterious Black Ship makes landfall, not bringing with it technology and trade, but something much more deadly.

Amid the madness, a group of fighters with the mysterious power to resist the zombie mutation, the “Zom-beings,” appear. The hunt begins as they fight to restore Edo to its days before the invasion. But don’t be fooled, this won’t be an easy stroll through town; without leveling up the strength and power of the “Zom-beings” and honing your combat skills, you’ll face defeat, and Edo will be lost forever.
