PS5 Getting Surprise Remaster of 2013 PS Vita RPG

In news we didn’t expect, a 13-year-old PS Vita RPG is coming to home consoles for the first time in the form of a PS5 remaster. Published by Furyu and developed by Studio Saizensen, Exstetra was only released in Japan for the PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS back in 2013.

Furyu RPG Exstetra’s PS5 remaster unexpectedly getting a global launch

Not only is Exstetra getting remastered for the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 1 &2, but it’s also getting a global release for the first time. This is a bit of a surprise because back in 2013, XSEED was quizzed about potentially localizing the game for an English-speaking audience, to which the company responded that it was unlikely.

Well, Furyu thinks differently now, as the company will launch Exstetra remaster worldwide, first for PC on July 30, 2026, followed by PS5 and Switch platforms at a later date. The game will support multiple languages, including English.

“Kiss is the only way to save two worlds destined for ruin,” the plot reads. “Set in Amazea, a Tokyo fused with another world and fated for destruction, this is the story of a battle in which you become the chosen savior, a ‘Prisma,’ and fight to save two worlds from the brink of annihilation. The only way to save the world is a kiss…”

We’ll update our readers when a PS5 release date for Exstetra is announced.

PS5 Security Flaw Confirmed, More PlayStation Accounts Hacked

It has now been confirmed that a major Sony security loophole is behind an alarming number of PS5 users having their PlayStation accounts hacked. “Hack” might not even be the right word for it, as what’s happening is basically one big social engineering scam successfully carried out with the help of PS Support agents.

How PlayStation accounts are ‘hacked’ with social engineering

To be clear, no one is immune to this social engineering scam because all hackers need is basic public information about the victim. Suggestions that the victims are to blame because they must have shared private information online, like a PS Store transaction number, are misleading at best.

While it’s true that sharing something as mundane as a screenshot of a PS Store purchase with a transaction number can aid hackers, that’s not how known PlayStation journalist and podcaster Colin Moriarty was hacked.

Scammers can break into an account with the help of PS Support by simply providing recent purchase history. So, for example, if you talk about buying a new game online and a scammer takes note, they can impersonate you by providing a transaction date and details about what you purchased, along with your username or email address, and gain control of your account.

This renders two-factor authentication and passkey useless because it’s a PS Support agent overriding your safety net.

X user PorkPoncho tested this out, and successfully “hacked” their sister’s PlayStation account (with her consent, of course) to demonstrate how it works:

I'll go with probably the most interesting part next. With the permission of my sister (and with her literally sitting in the room with me) I was able to breach her PSN account, change the email address and password, and take full control of it simply by contacting Sony support.… pic.twitter.com/OptEX3mB6p

— Poncho (@PorkPoncho) May 21, 2026

Moriarty also spoke about this issue at length in a new podcast:

As we mentioned in our previous article, Sony is now well aware of this problem, but has yet to address it. In the meantime, an increasing number of PS5 users are losing their accounts.

Just a day ago, another prominent trophy hunter revealed on PSNProfiles that after 10+ years, they lost their PlayStation account to a scammer in the same way and haven’t been able to recover it. Dejected, they have now decided to quit PlayStation gaming.

Here’s hoping we hear something from Sony…. and soon.
