PPRGaming Daily Roundup – November 13, 2026
Happy Friday, all! IAE kept us busy today, but a few other things popped up that are worth a look before the weekend.
God of War: Sons of Sparta comes to PS4 on November 16 with two new modes
The 2D God of War spin-off that launched on PS5 back in February is heading to PS4 this Monday, November 16, per Gematsu. Made by Mega Cat Studios with Santa Monica Studio, Sons of Sparta follows a young Kratos and his brother Deimos during their Spartan training as they search for a missing cadet. The PS4 release arrives alongside a free update with two new modes. Hermes Mode is built for speedrunners, with a split timer and a persistent scoreboard, and it unlocks after your first clear or with a very familiar-looking button code in the start menu. Erebus Mode is the brutal one: you and every enemy go down in a single hit. You pick a mode when you start a new save, and it can’t be changed afterwards.
Rockstar teases Macca & Friends, a cartoon inside GTA VI
With six days to go before launch, Rockstar released a teaser for Macca & Friends, an animated series that exists inside the world of Grand Theft Auto VI, Gematsu reports. The show follows Macca the Gator and his wetland friends on their adventures across Leonida, the game’s take on Florida. It’s a small thing, but Rockstar’s in-game TV has always been part of the fun, and a gator mascot is about as Florida as it gets. GTA VI launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Vindictus: Defying Fate shows off its "Let the Righteous Judge" cinematic trailer
Yesterday we mentioned NEXON’s promised cinematic trailer for Vindictus: Defying Fate, and it’s out now. “Let the Righteous Judge” offers a deeper look at the story and the dark fantasy world players will explore, per Gematsu. It’s a medieval action RPG rooted in Celtic mythology, with a roster that includes series favorites Lann, Fiona, Karok and Delia, and huge Fomorian monsters to take down. The Steam page lists single-player and online co-op. It’s due on PS5 and PC in 2027, with no exact date yet.
PPR take: Erebus Mode is the kind of challenge that’ll have people posting clears all weekend, and putting Sons of Sparta on PS4 gets it in front of a lot more players. The Macca teaser is pure Rockstar: a throwaway joke that tells you how much stuff is packed into that world. And Vindictus keeps looking good, though I’d like to see more gameplay than cinematics before 2027.
