State Of Play September 2024 round-up – every trailer from Ghost Of Yōtei to Astro Bot DLC

The latest State of Play livestream has, shockingly, not been a disappointment, with archetypal looks astatine Alan Wake 2 DLC and Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered.

After a miserable bid of preview events, implicit the people of the past twelvemonth oregon more, Sony has yet had a State of Play to get excited about. Tuesday night’s livestream wasn’t 1 for the ages, but it did person a bully scope of titles, including respective caller games and a marque caller archetypal enactment PlayStation 5 rubric successful Ghost Of Yōtei.

The sequel to Ghost Of Tsushima was undoubtedly the biggest quality of the night, and 1 of lone a fewer Sony titles mentioned, but determination was a batch of different bully worldly connected amusement too, with a batch of it owed retired this year.

Below are each the caller videos that made up the event, though present the speculation indispensable statesman connected whether that was the past State of Play of the twelvemonth oregon not. Based connected erstwhile years it astir apt is but respective publishers made notation to having much quality astatine the Tokyo Game Show aboriginal this week, portion Sony themselves often debut trailers astatine The Game Awards successful December.

Free Astro Bot DLC

The State of Play kicked disconnected with the announcement of escaped DLC deed for captious smash Astro Bot. That’s evidently welcome, but it seems beauteous insignificant stuff: 5 caller online speedrun levels and 10 caller bots to rescue, including EVE from Stellar Blade and a Helldiver. It’ll beryllium retired sometime this autumn.

The Midnight Walk

We truly liked the look of this recently announced crippled from the makers of Lost In Random. It uses a unsocial halt question animation style, with each the characters and monsters handcrafted from existent clay. The results are wonderfully horrific and portion it tin optionally beryllium played utilizing PlayStation VR2 we tin already ideate that’s going to beryllium excessively scary for galore (including astir apt us). The crippled has nary merchandise day yet.

Hell Is Us

A 3rd idiosyncratic enactment escapade with an absorbing premix of existent satellite and supernatural horror; we saw the crippled precocious and volition person a preview and interrogation shortly. It’s acceptable successful a fictional Eastern European state struggling with a civilian warfare and yet astir of the enactment involves utilizing a sword against immoderate precise creepy, faceless monsters. It has nary merchandise date.

Metro Awakening VR

Although determination was inactive thing from Sony themselves, determination was a astonishing magnitude of PlayStation VR2 games, oregon games with VR features, during the State of Play and this was 1 of the astir intriguing. There’s inactive nary motion of a caller mainline introduction aft Metro Exodus but this VR spin-off is intelligibly nary speedy cash-in. It’s retired connected November 7.

ArcheAge Chronicles

We’ll beryllium honest, we’re not definite what’s going connected with this, but the archetypal ArcheAge is simply a Korean-made MMO and we presume this is too, due to the fact that determination seemed to beryllium an atrocious batch of subordinate characters successful immoderate of the enactment scenes. It looks decent though and volition beryllium retired sometime adjacent year.

Palworld

The infamous Pokémon killer was already rumoured to beryllium coming to PlayStation 5 successful clip for the Tokyo Game Show, truthful it being a shadiness driblet during the State of Play wasn’t overmuch of a surprise. Perhaps Sony were trying to get successful speedy earlier developer Pocketpair gets sued by Nintendo.

Lunar Remastered Collection

We’re not definite however galore fans determination are of Lunar successful the West, but their time has surely been made by this compilation featuring PS1 games Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete. There’s present a widescreen mode and updated graphics but it inactive looks similar a SNES game. The compilation volition beryllium retired adjacent spring.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge DLC

We’re going to beryllium honest, we’ve nary thought if Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa are existing parts of the TMNT canon oregon if they’ve conscionable been created for the caller Radical Reptiles DLC, but they’re disposable present and truthful is simply a escaped remix of the soundtrack.

Shadow X Sonic Generations

You mightiness person thought this was thing to denote during the Sonic Central livestream, which different had precise small caller to speech about, but nary little than Keanu Reeves himself volition beryllium providing the dependable of Shadow the Hedgehog successful DLC for Shadow X Sonic Generations. It’ll beryllium specifically based connected scenes from the movie and volition beryllium released connected December 12 – the movie is retired connected December 21.

Fantasian Neo Dimension

Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi enactment successful a little quality during the lawsuit (it’s notable that neither of PlayStation’s caller CEOs person appeared successful nationalist yet) to speech up the caller PlayStation 4 and 5 versions of his mobile crippled Fantasian, which volition beryllium retired connected December 5.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

A bully 5 minutes of the livestream was spent connected the caller Dragon Age, which was much than immoderate different game. To beryllium fair, it was looking beauteous good, with a combat involving 2 antithetic dragons and an service of zombies. The interface and commands looked encouragingly complicated, arsenic did the astonishing caller hairsbreadth physics (that seems an unusual happening to get excited about, but it truly does look good). The game’s retired connected October 31.

Alan Wake 2: The Lake House DLC

We person to judge we’re successful the number of critics, successful that we didn’t similar Alan Wake 2. We’re not definite we’ve got overmuch anticipation for the DLC either, fixed it inactive seems to person the aforesaid hookey dialog and faces shouting astatine you successful an effort to beryllium scary. It’s retired sometime successful October, which whitethorn mean it’s much overtly fearfulness themed than the original.

Hitman: World Of Assassination VR

Another awesome looking VR game, that looked to beryllium doing everything the main games bash but successful archetypal person. That sounds similar it’d marque things much hard with Hitman but determination seemed to beryllium much of an enactment focus, with a large accent enactment connected dual-wielding guns. It’ll beryllium retired this December.

Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

It’s a shame this had already leaked retired up of time arsenic it’s a existent assemblage pleaser for fans of the PS1 originals, particularly arsenic the archetypal is celebrating its 25th day this year. It’ll beryllium retired connected December 10 for PlayStation 4 and 5, but the question present is whether it’s a imaginable prelude to a caller game. Blood Omen: Legacy Of Kain (and Dino Crisis) is besides being added to PS Plus Classics aboriginal this year.

Towers Of Aghasba

This already looked absorbing erstwhile it was archetypal announced, with what looks similar a premix of Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy. How that volition enactment successful signifier we’ll person to hold and spot but it goes into aboriginal entree successful November and is presumably targeting a afloat merchandise successful 2025.

Fear The Spotlight

We were truly impressed by Blumhouse Games’ transportation during Summer Game Fest, and this is the archetypal of their caller fearfulness games to beryllium released. The visuals are purposefully reminiscent of aged PS1 games but that seems a precise invited affectation. It’ll beryllium retired connected October 22 for PlayStation 4 and 5.

Fortnite DualSense controller

Since astir of the games shown weren’t published by Sony the bulk of these titles volition beryllium multiformat, presumably including the caller split-screen enactment for Lego Fortnite. The caller Fortnite DualSense controller is evidently a PlayStation 5 exclusive though, and nary uncertainty acceptable to beryllium a Christmas contiguous favourite.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins

We can’t accidental we’ve ever been fans of Koei Tecmo’s ultra shallow hack ‘n’ slash bid but astatine slightest the graphics successful this 1 didn’t look 2 generations behind, arsenic the games usually do. The dialog seems to beryllium taking things precise seriously, but the cheesy stone euphony and campy outfits suggests the code hasn’t changed that much. It’s retired connected January 17.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom volition decidedly beryllium showing disconnected much of their crippled astatine the Tokyo Game Show, but they did uncover the merchandise day during the State of Play, arsenic February 28. There’s tons of pre-order knick-knacks they privation to tempt you with but there’s nary doubting the crippled is looking precise good, with a large betterment successful visuals since Monster Hunter: World.

Lego Horizon Adventures

This is 1 of the fewer things it was evident the State of Play was going to speech about, since Sony inactive hadn’t announced a merchandise date. This retelling of the archetypal Horizon Zero Dawn will besides beryllium released connected Nintendo Switch, but not Xbox, though it’s unclear whether that includes the outfits for Sony characters specified arsenic Sack Boy and Ratchet. The crippled volition motorboat connected November 14.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Already leaked earlier the State of Play, the archetypal PlayStation 4 crippled doesn’t truly request a revamp but it’s getting it anyway, with 10 hours of re-recorded conversational question seizure to get it looking arsenic bully arsenic sequel Forbidden West. If you ain the archetypal you tin get it for conscionable $9.99, which should construe to £10 oregon little successful the UK. It’s retired successful October 31 but determination was nary motion of the different rumoured remaster of a crippled that’s even ‘less exciting’.

Stellar Blade x NieR: Automata DLC

Not lone is Stellar Blade getting a photograph mode but crossover DLC with NieR:Automata, which is nary astonishment fixed however chummy bid creator Yoko Taro is with Stellar Blade’s creators (and the information that it was already leaked). How extended the DLC volition beryllium is unclear but astatine this constituent we’d beryllium overmuch much funny successful an existent caller NieR game.

Originally, Sony said the State Of Play would lone beryllium astir 30 minutes but it was really rather a spot longer than that, with hardware designer Mark Cerny popping up astatine the extremity to marque different transportation for the PS5 Pro, earlier introducing Ghost Of Yōtei.

If that was lone added astatine the past minute, we find that encouraging arsenic it means Sony understands it’s been letting the broadside down recently. Even with conscionable 1 caller game, that isn’t a unrecorded work title, things are abruptly looking overmuch much optimistic for PlayStation fans.

Being a console shaper is astir much than conscionable selling hardware and it’s seemed arsenic if Sony has forgotten that successful caller years. They’re inactive being worryingly uncommunicative but hopefully this State of Play is simply a motion that things are yet getting backmost to normal.
