Everything announced during the PlayStation State of Play double header
Sony showed off expansions for Crimson Desert and Ghost of Yōtei, Grand Theft Auto 6 controllers and much more.
Jeshoots/Unsplash Sony aired not one, but two State of Play presentations on Thursday. While there arguably wasn't much in the way of seismic announcements — perhaps unless you're a big fan of Maneater — we did get release dates for Until Dawn 2 and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation , as well as peeks at a whole bunch of cool-looking games. Sony also offered up fresh looks at Ghost of Yōtei's upcoming survival mode and the story expansion, a DLC for Crimson Desert and an update for Saros .
Things got underway with another clip for the Resident Evil movie from Barbarian and Weapons director Zach Cregger. It showed protagonist Bryan making his way through a city street at night as zombies dropped from rooftops and left a total mess. That was a heck of a way to get things started first thing on a Thursday. The film hits theaters on September 18.
It probably shouldn't come as a surprise that there was a trailer for Marvel's Wolverine as a reminder about Sony's big game for this fall. I'm already sold. I don't need to see anymore. Insomniac's latest game is coming to PS5 on September 15 .
Ghost of Yōtei's roguelike combat survival mode, Most Wanted, looks a little like No Return in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered . You'll be able to play as Jin Sakai, the protagonist of Ghost of Tsushima . As with the paid expansion and the complete edition of the game, Most Wanted will arrive on October 1.
Next up was a trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance . The expansion is expected to land sometime next year. It was revealed during State of Play Japan that Tokyo Game Show attendees will be the first to check out a public demo of the DLC.
Sony offered up a chunk of Metro 2039 running on a PS5 Pro. It looks as grim as you might expect from this first-person shooter series. 4A Games and publisher Deep Silver have narrowed down the release date too. The game's coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC on February 4.
It took until the sixth game trailer for our first new announcement. Maneater 2 , a sequel to a 2020 action RPG in which you play as a shark, is set to land next year.
An expansion for Crimson Desert was announced. It's called Charting the Unknown and it will be available for the action RPG, which is one of the year's biggest selling games so far, on October 15.
Soon after it emerged that Mattel is releasing a brick-building set for the original Xbox, Lego revealed one for the PlayStation 1. The $180 set will be available on October 1.
We got a trailer for Final Fantasy Resonance , which is the first HD-2D game in the franchise. We've had a chance to go hands-on with the turn-based game (which is out on October 22) and you can check out our initial impressions . A demo is out today too.
Gundam Rogue Orbit made an appearance and a release date for this action game was announced. It's coming to PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S on March 5. The State of Play Japan stream offered up some more details.
Sony showed off a trio of indie games that included Hunter's Moon , a narrative-driven title that takes place in a single night.
