PlayStation’s big 2021 Showcase kicked off with a very long concept trailer where people played chess. But after that, we got into a banger of a show with plenty of announcements and trailers.
Here’s everything that was shown during the show and announced.
The rumoured remake of The Old Republic from Asypyr was officially revealed with a teaser trailer. It only showed Revan and no gameplay, but it’s a confirmation it’s coming to PS5.
This was a very anime looking game coming from Korean developer Shift Up. It seems like a sci-fi version of Bayonetta to a degree.
A new look at the Borderlands
The game is releasing on March 25th, 2021.
A brand new trailer for Forspoken showed the fantasy world and gorgeous visuals. The world looks deep with lore, features some excellent character work and writing. There’s an emphasis on exploration, platforming and intense combat.
A new trailer for Rainbow Six: Extraction doubles down on the horror vibes and co-op action that’s outside the norm for the franchise.
Coming to PlayStation for the first time, and as previously revealed a couple of days before the showcase, Remedy is releasing a remaster of Alan Wake.
The game that never dies: Grand Theft Auto V comes to PS5 in March of 2021.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen it, but a brand new trailer for GhostWire: Tokyo revealed the protagonist, the villain and a better look at the combat.
Peter Quill fakes a heart attack, and Cosmo helps out the Guardians in this new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy.
The battle royale spin-off of the Vampire: The Masquerade franchise got a decent and short trailer. It’s still releasing later this year as well.
Like a Christmas dinner, we got another trailer for Deathloop. It’s a tradition.
A Radiohead game? It’s coming this November and is a collaboration with Epic Games. The band recently announced they’re re-releasing the album, so it’s probably a concept thing to tie into that.
This is a cutie indie game about exploration inspired by New Caledonia.
Both Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: Lost Legacy is being remastered for both PS5 and PC. We have no idea about a release date. Or if PC is getting the trilogy as well.
Insomniac Games are developing it (somehow they have time). Very short teaser trailer.
This is our best look at Gran Turismo 7 in some time. It looks beautiful, and a March 2022 release date is confirmed.
It’s coming in 2023, and the game looks to feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as crucial characters. The villain? Oh, it’s just Venom.
Our first look at God of War: Ragnarok (now the official name) was a big showcase. More than just a teaser trailer, we see plenty of gameplay, Thor’s hammer, stunning environments and more. However, they gave no release date yet, but God of War: Ragnarok certainly is looking very good.
