New Official PlayStation Magazine out now

Our cover story this month is Call Of Duty: Black Ops III weve played it on PS4 and dedicated ten hefty pages to our impressions; going deeper than anyone else into what makes the latest COD tick as we provide a hi-tech guide to those new bio-augmentations. We also have a full rundown on CODs entire PlayStation history, going all the way back to Finest Hour on PS2. And if that wasnt enough, we wrap things up by interviewing Treyarchs always-engaging studio head, Mark Lamia.

In our other megaton feature this month, youll find 12 incredibly hot pages of Star Wars Battlefront. Its one of the most gorgeous pieces to have featured in the mag for quite some time, as we travel to the Star Wars Celebration and go big on DICEs upcoming far, far away online blaster. Let us bring you up to speed (-er bike) on iconic Endor scraps and more.

Just before it went on to smash its Kickstarter targets by raising 1m in 24 hours, we caught up with Playtonic Games for chat about its ambitious 3D platformer, Yookla-Laylee. With exclusive screens and info, we take you into a colourful world of magical books and misbehaving bats in a game that looks to capture the magic of Rares golden age of platformers.

This has to be one of the coolest free gifts weve ever given away with Official PlayStation Magazine. Pick up the paper version of the new issue and youll get an awesome Metal Gear Solid V decal with a selection of different faceplate options to cover your PS4 in sneaky glory. Sonys ridged baby may be a looker on its own, but plastering Venom Snake onto your killer console gives it added stealthy sheen.
