PlayStation Showcase: The most outstanding games and announcements for PS5

Sony has unveiled some of the games coming to PlayStation 5 in the coming months and over the next year. The PlayStation Showcase digital event has served to discover new titles, see unpublished images of already announced projects and even discover some surprises in the field of hardware.

The presentation has lasted more than an hour and has included more than 35 games, many of which have been presented with cinematics and not with actual gameplay images. Next, we select the highlights.

Fairgames

Haven Studios, the team led by producer Jade Raymond, has presented this competitive multiplayer in development for PS5 and PC.

Phantom Blade Zero

The Chinese studio S-Game is behind this spectacular action game with a samurai setting. It is in development for PS5 and PC.

I don't think so

The new game from the creators of the acclaimed Gris, the Catalan team Nomada Studio, has been a balm among so many action and shooting games. It will be out in 2024.

The Plucky Squire

This charming adventure that combines the 2D images of a book with the exploration of a 3D setting is one of the most anticipated indie games of 2023.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater

The rumors were true: Metal Gear Solid 3 will return as a remake. Konami has presented the game at Sony's digital event and has confirmed that, in addition to coming out for PlayStation 5, it will also have versions for Xbox Series and PC.

Alan Wake 2

We already knew about the existence of the Alan Wake sequel, but at the PlayStation Showcase the Remedy Entertainment game was shown in motion for the first time. It looks spectacular and will arrive on October 17.

Dragon’s Dogma 2

One of the most anticipated returns. Capcom has shown the first trailer for Dragon's Dogma 2, which is currently in development for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. It doesn't have a launch window yet.

Marathon

At the end of last year the existence of this title was leaked, but it was not until the PlayStation Showcase that we were able to see this cinematic that shows the artistic style of the game. Marathon will mark Bungie's return to one of its pre-Halo franchises.

New hardware: Project Q and new headphones for PS5

Sony has announced a controller with a screen designed to play PlayStation 5 by streaming through a Wi-Fi connection. Its code name is Project Q and it is expected to go on sale at the end of 2023. On the other hand, earbud-format wireless headphones designed specifically for playing PS5 have also been presented.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

The sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man has closed the event in style. In addition to presenting a new cinematic, the title developed by the American Insomniac Games has finally been shown in a video with real gameplay. It will be out sometime next fall, but there is still no exact date.
