PlayStation wasn’t kidding when it teased a bunch of games ahead of the latest State of Play presentation. From something old to something new, there was a smorgasbord of upcoming titles to look forward to.
Astro Bot is getting some more love, and we learned more about previously announced games. Most exciting of all, PlayStation confirmed a sequel to 2020’s Ghost of Tsushima open-world samurai adventure.
With lots of stuff coming to PS5 and PSVR 2 in the coming months, these games are the standouts from the latest State of Play.
Ghost of Yōtei revealed, stars new hero
Arguably the centrepiece of PlayStation’s State of Play presentation, Ghost of Yōtei is the newly revealed sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. Set well after the events of the first game, Ghost of Yōtei stars a new playable character, Atsu, a wandering warrior exploring Feudal Japan.
Other than some gorgeous visuals, there aren’t too many details just yet. Ghost of Yōtei doesn’t have a set release date yet, with a 2025 window the only current confirmation.
Astro Bot gets free speedrunning DLC
Not long after the cute robot warmed our hearts, Astro Bot is back with some upcoming DLC. Available as a free content update sometime in the next couple of months, the 3D platformer will get five extra levels and 10 additional bots to save.
These challenge-filled levels have speedrunning in mind, suggesting there will be a competitive online leaderboard element. Joining the roster of PlayStation-themed bots is Eve from Stellar Blade, and the soldiers from Helldivers 2.
Palworld is out on PS5 today
Geez, what timing. Only days after Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, the Pokemon-styled game is now available on PS5.
Known for its monster-collecting and gun-toting gameplay, Palworld debuted on PC and Xbox in January this year. It quickly attracted comparisons to the Pokemon series, forming the basis of Nintendo’s recent lawsuit.
Technically, it’s still in early access, meaning it’s not fully finished but there’s more than enough to play now. Lots of players dived into Palworld earlier in the year, so expect the PS5 launch to further boost its popularity.
Alan Wake 2: The Lake House expansion looks spooky
One of the best games of 2023, Alan Wake 2, is getting its second major DLC in October. Dubbed The Lake House, the trailer depicted a spine-tingling look at the Federal Bureau of Control in disarray.
It picks up where Alan Wake 2‘s various story threads left off, further joining the settings of Remedy’s expansive universe. Here’s hoping we get to see more of Control protagonist Jesse Faden.
Dual-wield with Hitman World of Assassination VR
PlayStation promised games for the PSVR 2, and it delivered. Among several titles confirmed for its virtual reality headset, PlayStation confirmed the VR version of Hitman Word of Assassination.
Combining the recent Hitman trilogy into one package, the VR version literally puts you in the perspective of Agent 47. Dual-wielding weapons is a big part of the experience when it arrives in December 2024.
Monster Hunter Wilds release date confirmed
We’ve known about Capcom’s latest Monster Hunter entry for a while, but we now have a release date. Revealed in a fresh trailer showing off some of the epic encounters against massive beasts, Monster Hunter Wilds launches on 28 Feburary 2025.
Horizon Zero Dawn remaster comes to PS5 and PC
Teased ahead of the State of Play showcase, PlayStation confirmed that Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster. One of the flagship PS4 games, Horizon Zero Dawn will arrive on PS5 and PC with a shiny coat of paint on 31 October.
PlayStation also shared more on Lego Horizon Adventures, the family-friendly spin-off set in the same universe. It’s a cute take on Horizon‘s sci-fi universe that’ll arrive on 14 November.
