Sony shared a few tidbits about its next-generation PlayStation console–which doesn’t yet have an official name but will likely be called PlayStation 5–in an interview with Wired this week. Among other things, PS4 lead system architect Mark Cerny confirmed the new console will be backwards compatible. One of the biggest questions surrounding the system, however, is its price, but Sony suggests it will be offered at a good value.

While the subject of price didn’t come up in the interview, Wired writer Peter Rubin did broach it during his discussion with Cerny, and he shared their exchange on Twitter. Naturally, Cerny was coy about saying too much about the topic, but he did tease the system will launch with an “appealing” price tag. “I believe that we will be able to release it at an SRP [suggested retail price] that will be appealing to gamers in light of its advanced feature set,” he said.

Of course, Cerny’s response leaves a lot of wiggle room, and his comment about the console’s “advanced feature set” suggests it won’t be cheap, although we likely won’t know just how much it’ll cost until closer to launch. As for when that will be, Sony hasn’t yet announced a release window for its next console. Last May, however, head of PlayStation John Kodera said the new system was three years off, so it presumably won’t arrive until 2020 at the earliest.

In addition to confirming backwards compatibility, Cerny revealed that the PS5 will use an AMD chip with a CPU based on the third-generation Ryzen, as well as a custom version of Radeon’s Navi graphics chips. The system will also support 8K and utilize solid-state drives, allowing for much faster loading times.

Beyond that, Sony didn’t share many other details about its upcoming console, and it’s unclear when the company will reveal more information. For the first time since entering the gaming market, Sony is skipping this year’s E3, so any more news about the system will likely be reserved for its PlayStation Experience event or new State of Play streams, assuming the company plans on revealing it this year.

Noted invisible professional wrestler and former WWE Champion John Cena may finally be throwing his hat into the superhero movie ring. The self-proclaimed “Doctor of Thuganomics” is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the Suicide Squad follow-up being written and directed by Guardians of the Galaxy helmer James Gunn.

The news comes from Variety, which says Cena may join Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney–who starred in the first Suicide Squad as Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang, respectively–as well as Idris Elba in the film. At this point, Elba and Cena’s roles remain a mystery, as does the state of the rest of the Squad. However, Variety previously reported Will Smith would not reprise his role as Deadshot.

Interestingly, this wouldn’t be Gunn’s first time working with a WWE star. He previously directed Dave Bautista in both Guardians films, with a third installment in the works. It would, however, be Cena’s first role in a movie adaptation of a comic book. His previous big screen work includes roles in Bumblebee, Blockers, and the animated film Ferdinand. He’ll next be seen on the big screen in Project X-Traction, alongside Jackie Chan.

Gunn’s Suicide Squad film hasn’t started filming yet but is scheduled to hit theaters on August 6, 2021. As for Cena, he recently made his WWE return at Wrestlemania during a segment with the guitar-strumming Elias, though there’s been no mention of him getting back in the ring anytime soon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s big 3.0 update wasn’t the only Smash news Nintendo had to share this week. The company has also announced that a trio of new Amiibo figures are on the way, and they’re slated to hit stores this summer.

Starting July 26, players will be able to pick up the Pichu, Pokemon Trainer, and Isabelle Super Smash Bros. Amiibo at retailers. Nintendo hasn’t specified how much these new figures will cost, but previous Smash Ultimate Amiibo have run for $16 USD each. You can take a look at images of the new figures below.

Nintendo has released nine other Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Amiibo thus far, with even more on the way this year. The most recent batch, which consisted of Young Link, Daisy, and Ken, arrived earlier this month. Figures of Squirtle, Ivysaur, Snake, and Simon Belmont are also slated to release sometime in 2019.

In the meantime, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s 3.0 update arrives today, April 17. The biggest addition is undoubtedly Persona 5’s Joker, who is joining the roster as a playable character. Joker arrives alongside a new stage, Mementos, as well as an assortment of music tracks taken from the Persona series. The whole Joker pack is available for $6 / £4.49, or as part of the $25 Fighters Pass.

In addition to Joker, the 3.0 update introduces a Stage Builder to the game, allowing players to create and share their own levels. Additionally, the Nintendo Switch Online phone app is receiving an update that adds the previously announced Smash World hub, which lets players view user-created videos and stages. Finally, the update adds a new assortment of Persona and Sonic Mii Fighter costumes to purchase.

BUY XBOX ONE S BUNDLE W/ BATTLEFIELD V AT RAKUTEN »

This deal follows the announcement of Microsoft’s new Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, which doesn’t have a disc drive for playing physical games or DVDs, but is otherwise identical to the regular Xbox One S. That all-digital console is selling for $250, a price some fans have felt is too high considering the Xbox One S is regularly on sale for $250, $200, and as Rakuten shows, sometimes even less. We can only wait and see how the price fluctuates on the digital Xbox One down the road, but for now, you can pick up the original Xbox One S–disc drive and all–for the very reasonable price of $175 while this promotion lasts.
