After all the XBox acquisition announcements over the past year it was quite certain that the Microsoft Console had an amazing future ahead of it and that it would give Sony Console a worthy competition. That followed by a rather lackluster Playstation 5 Game lineup put in question the Dominance post the PS4’s reign. But the showcase last week ensured the future is bright for PS5 and still a worth competitor in its own right!
What was announced?
- Insomniac Games pretty much carried the bulk of the weight in terms of heavy weight announcements with:
- Marvel’s Spiderman 2 as a PS5 exclusive in 2023 – a followup to the critically acclaimed Spiderman and Spiderman Miles Morales where you get to play as both and now have a new villain in Venom and we are sure others
- Marvel’s Wolverine as a PS5 exclusive with no release date and no details, though this has gotten all Marvel fans and playstation gamers very excited
- Developer Santa Monica Studios put up an exciting showcase with the God Of War: Ragnarok first look and the followup to the amazing God Of War Saga surely has many excited for the continuation of the storyline of Kratos and Loki in 2022.
- Square Enix announced an original IP in Forspoken which is an interesting take on magical powers and taking bands due to release in Spring 2022.
- Next up are the PS5 remakes of old with:
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) by Aspyr for PS5 with no release date confirmed
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Lost Legacy by Naughty Dog for PS5 in early 2022
- GTA 5 & GTA Online for PS5 by Rockstar Games in March 2022
- Other games announced in the showcase:
- Project Eve sometime between 2022 and 2023
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on March 25, 2022
- Alan Wake Remastered on October 5, 2021
- Gran Turismo 7 on March 22, 2022
- Other announcements in the showcase:
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction gameplay that releases on September 16, 2021
- New Ghostwire: Tokyo Trailer and it looks rad
- Another Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer
- Another Deathloop Trailer
- Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt coming to the PS5
And some others that I’m not as excited to mention. What do you think about the showcase and if you don’t have a PS5 yet does, this make it a good ..
