PlayStation held a State of Play Friday morning that contained the reveal of Resident Evil 4 Remake, the latest trailer for Final Fantasy XVI and much more. There were also sprinkles of PSVR 2 games throughout, be that ports like Resident Evil VIII or the upcoming Horizon: Call of the Wild. Overall it was a well-paced and great State of Play with plenty to be excited about from the near future through to 2023.
Check out all the news and trailers for everything below.
After many rumours, Resident Evil 4 Remake is coming to PS5 on March 24th, 2023. It also has PSVR 2 content in development. The trailer didn’t showcase a great detail on any new gameplay adjustments, but it looks like RE4, and that’s the important thing.
The latest entry in the Resident Evil franchise is coming to PlayStation VR2, meaning you’ll finally be able to appreciate all of those vampire tall-lady scenes even more thoroughly.
An expansion to the well-reviewed Walking Dead VR game is coming to PSVR 2 sometime in 2023 and PSVR in later 2022.
No Man’s Sky is coming to PSVR 2 next year.
The first game revealed for PSVR 2 got a much bigger trailer showing off the story, characters and world of Horizon you’ll be exploring. It’s not just an on-rails riverboat game; you’ll be exploring vast areas, taking on monsters and seeing the scale of tall necks like never before. You play as Ryas, a Shadow Carja Warrior who is hoping to redeem himself by looking into a threat to the Sundom.
Alongside the main story, there’s a ‘River Ride experience’ where you take a seat in that riverboat and take in the beautiful views while being on the lookout for anyone who may try and board your vessel.
A major update is out now for Horizon Forbidden West with improved visual fidelity, the ability to redistribute ability points, ultra-hard difficulty, new game + and more.
Sony picked up Nixxes earlier this year as a porting studio, and their first big job is bringing Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered to PC on August 12th, 2022.
The cat exploration game we’ve all been waiting to get a release date for from publisher Annapurna Interactive is coming to PS4 and PS5 on July 19th.
PS Plus Extra and higher tiers will be able to download the game at no extra cost.
Originally announced as part of the PUBG Universe and as of a couple of weeks ago, pulled from that empty universe, Calisto Protocol looks exactly like the Dead Space successor it should, with the creator of that franchise, Glen Schofield, the CEO at Striking Distance Studios behind this game. The trailer is intense, sets up a dead moon with creatures and terrifying monsters, and releases sooner than I thought, on December 2nd, 2022.
From the developer of OlliOlliWorld, Rollerdrome looks like an ultra stylistic roller-skating game with dual pistoles and an 80s aesthetic. It’s out really soon, too, on August 16th.
In Eternights, you decide to make the most out of the end of the world by exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, and going on dates. There’s a timeline for when you have to beat certain dungeons, and you can choose to battle or spend time on dates, so the game sounds like the Persona series heavily inspire it. Eternights is releasing on PS5 and PS4 early in 2023.
The next entry in the Street Fighter franchise features a stunning art direction, the fights the franchise is known for, and a ‘World Tour’ single-player mode where you can walk around the city in third-person and a multiplayer-hub area called ‘Battle Hub.’ It’s coming to PS4, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2023.
After releasing to critical acclaim earlier in the year on Xbox and PC, Tunic is releasing on PS4 and PS5 on September 27th.
It’s been some time since we’ve seen Season: A Letter To The Future, but its latest trailer showcases the same eye-catching art design that makes it a standout. The latest trailer showcases the story more, which focuses on a young woman who leaves a secluded community for the first time and documents details about her journey in photos and journal entries.
It’s worth mentioning that developer Scavengers Studios’ creative director and CEO were accused of belittling, screaming at, and groping employees in 2021.
The first trailer for Final Fantasy XVI in sometime titled “Dominance”, showcases the world, characters, combat and how beautiful this world looks. It’s a dark fantasy like we haven’t seen from Square Enix in years, under the direction of Hiroshi Taka and the team at Creative Business Unit III. The game is fully playable, with optimization underway for a mid-next-year release.
