Second Set of PlayStation All-Stars Patch 1.09 Notes Include Character and Item Balancing

Seth Killian didn’t disappoint today as he delivered on the promise that we’d be getting the second set of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale patch notes for 1.09 (again, 1.09 isn’t the official name, just a calculated guess on our part).
