Oh man, so there was this PlayStation thing, the State of Play—I guess they crammed a bunch of stuff into the runtime. Honestly, it was like when you try to shove all your laundry into one drawer. Anyway, if you missed it or just want to relive the chaos, here’s what caught my eye. Or didn’t. Depends.
First thing, you could rewatch the whole shebang if you wanted. I’m guessing if you’re into watching trailers as much as I am forcing myself to eat kale, you might enjoy this? Plus, all these games got their time in the spotlight. Trailers, updates, blog highlights—I mean, the works. You might find something you didn’t know you cared about.
Let’s talk Astro Bot. Who knew there were more of those little guys bouncing around? New levels? Apparently, five new mind-bending levels coming this summer. So if Astro Bot is your jam, get ready. There’s a new limited edition controller too, which I guess makes sense if you like smiley buttons. No judgment here.
And then there’s Baby Steps—it’s as awkward as it sounds, folks. A walking simulator with a character named Nate? September 8 on PS5. Apparently, the gameplay involves answering nature’s call. Don’t ask me what that means; I didn’t make this up.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is back for more gothic adventure. Little bit of castle exploration, switching between characters… standard stuff. Two heroes fighting baddies, and they’re even dropping it next year. Time passes fast, right?
Cairn has a demo out now if you want to stretch your fingers. Climbing mountains or something. Honestly, makes my palms sweaty just thinking about it. If you’re gonna download one thing today, I guess this could be it.
Whoa, Digimon Story: Time Stranger! Get ready to delve into this one. It’s got a fresh trailer with all sorts of pixelated goodness. October 3 is when we get our hands on it. Honestly, nostalgia meter just hit a ten.
Everybody’s Golf, but with a Pac-Man twist. Who saw that coming? You tee off on September 5 if swinging virtual clubs is part of your life plan. Pre-order for an early Pac-Man sighting, because why not?
Final Fantasy Tactics is making a grand return, all spruced up and retold in 2025 fashion. Add some voiceovers, sprinkle in UI bling-bling—it’s practically a reboot. Check out what Square Enix has to say about it.
Ghost of Yōtei is getting a special episode this July. Who knew? If you’re into extended gameplay peeks by Sucker Punch, mark that calendar.
Got origami vibes? Hirogami lets you flip and fold stuff, September 3. Oh, and it’s animal forms too, because Hiro isn’t your everyday origami artist. Who thought paper could be this interactive?
007 First Light gives us a fresh Bond story. Wonder what makes him tick before he’s all suave and whatnot. Can someone get me a martini, shaken not stirred, while I wait for this next year?
Lumines Arise puzzles? So many bright lights, so much clicking, I almost feel like I’m in a rave. Launches later this year with the VR thingy if you’re up for it.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls adds Arc System and Marvel Games’ teamwork to make dream work. Flash, bang, fight! All superhero style, and supposedly easy for anyone to pick up—or maybe not.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s back with remade thrills. Old Snake, new stakes, and Cobra shenanigans coming August 28. Konami’s got your espionage fix covered.
Mortal Kombat Kollection… because who doesn’t need more chaotic brawling? Revel in some legacy titles and behind-the-scenes documentaries. So meta, right?
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is ready to slice its way into existence soon with its crazy action, and there’s a demo too. Mark July 31 if that’s your scene.
Speaking of action, Nioh 3 brings Samurai and Ninja tactics—you could tango both styles; it’s all demo-hyped. You choose the way of the sword or the ninja stars.
PlayStation Plus has older titles adding to their cloud—remember those pixels? Twisted Metal and Resident Evil classics if you’re feeling particularly vintage.
Pragmata’s shown off by Capcom; two protagonists and something strategic going on. Out in 2026—I guess we’re planning years ahead now.
Project Defiant is like, hey, fighting games need sticks—not of the tree kind, but controllers. Wireless, yet somehow connected. Expected sometime next year, as per PlayStation.
Grasshopper Manufacture introduces Romeo is a Dead Man. Action title; space-time FBI antics—maybe? Launches next year, but weirder things have happened.
Sea of Remnants involves seafaring puppetfolk. Picture pirates in a RPG meeting wind-blown salt. Orbtopia, pirate city, is all in there. Set your compass.
Wild one, Silent Hill f appears, foggy and ready to frighten on September 25. High school drama with a side of survival, Konami assures its horrific beauty.
Sword of the Sea, literal surfing adventure coming August 19. Sounds like catching gnarly waves with mythical twists, all wrapped in a PlayStation Plus bow.
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow sneaks onto PS VR2… be Magpie, steal shadows. If virtual pilfering’s up your alley, set a reminder.
Tides of Tomorrow is DigixArt’s take on archipelago adventures in 2026—a multiplayer tale where your choices and past gameplay intertwine. Altogether now, ahoy!
