PlayStation unveils news games at State of Play event

PlayStation has held its latest showcase, featuring more than 20 video game titles coming to the console this year and in 2025.

Opening the show, PlayStation shared new details about the upcoming Astro Bot update. New speed run levels and more VIP bots are on the way in a free DLC coming this year.

But the thing that stole the show for gamers around the world was the reveal for the Ghost of Tsushima sequel: Ghost of Yōtei.

Featuring a female protagonist played by Erika Ishii, Ghost of Yotei is shaping up to be one of the best-looking games on the PlayStation console – if not of all time. 

It’s scheduled to be released in 2025.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is another big one on the list. On Tuesday, Bioware shared fresh gameplay and highlighted move sets for the mage character.

The creators of Lost in Random unveiled a new spooky title named The Midnight Walk, featuring a clay-like world. This game is playable on both PlayStation 5 and PS VR2.

It was also revealed that Palworld, the controversial game by Pocketpair, is launching on PS5 today.

Pocketpair is currently in a legal battle against Nintendo after allegations of intellectual property theft.

A new trailer for LEGO Horizon Adventures was also shown, offering a quirky look at the otherwise serious post-apocalyptic journey.

Speaking of Horizon, Horizon Zero Dawn is getting a remaster at the end of October, with updated visuals, putting it in line with the Forbidden West sequel. It’s also coming to PC.

And actor Keanu Reeves is lending his voice to Shadow the Hedgehog in the upcoming SEGA game: Sonic X Shadow Generations.

PlayStation also unveiled their new Chroma Collection controllers and faceplates for the PS5, with three new colours. A special Fortnite themed controller — a first for the DualSense — was also shown.
