Dark Souls studio From Software and director Hidetaka Miyazaki are working on Bloodborne, a dark fantasy game due out in 2015 and "only on PlayStation" according to the end of a trailer shown at Sony's E3 conference.

Twin-stick action game Entwined out now on PS4 [Update: trailer]
Sony announced that it is publishing Entwined, a new PlayStation 4 game developed by a team of recent graduates from Carnegie Mellon University. Gameplay in Entwined challenges players to control two characters at once using the DualShock 4's analog sticks. Players can maneuver both characters separately to collect items scattered throughout each forward-scrolling level, and the characters can be united for a more powerful form. The PlayStation 4 version of Entwined launches tonight via the PlayStation Store for $9.99. PS3 and Vita versions will follow at a later date as part of a Cross-Buy promotion.
LittleBigPlanet 3 announced for PS4, get creative in November [Update: trailer]
Sony just announced LittleBigPlanet is making a return on PlayStation 4. As revealed at Sony's E3 conference, LittleBigPlanet 3 provides Sackboy with new pals in the form of Toggle and Swoop. The content creation series debuts on Sony's new system in November. A demonstration showed Sackboy and friends working through a level together, with Toggle shrinking to slip through small spaces and let others in from the other side of obstacles. Meanwhile, Swoop can fly and pick up Toggle to drop him onto higher platforms. Sony also announced that when LBP3 launches, all 8.7 million user levels from the first two games will be available to download. 8.7 million! That's a pretty sizable starter pack.
