The latest PlayStation State of Play has just come and gone and there were a couple of very interesting announcements. Let’s take a look at what was shared;
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Seems like the long-gestating rumours have finally been confirmed for fans to anticipate as Capcom has shared that the new Resident Evil 4 Remake will be coming for the PS5, Xbox Series X&S, and PC with a brand new engine. RE4Remake is announced to be coming on March 24, 2023 with confirmation that there will be PS VR2 content also developed for the game. Whether the PS VR2 content will be released alongside the full game will have to be seen.

Horizon Call of The Mountain
Firesprite Studios are developing a brand new PSVR2 title with a brand new protagonist, Ryas, a former Shadow Carja warrior. This highly anticipated title looks to really push what VR titles are able to do graphically and we can’t wait to see more of this title. Unfortunately at this time, there is no confirmed release window either.
Horizon Forbidden West
A new update has been released today for Horizon Forbidden West as Guerilla games continue to polish and add to their already amazing game. Some of the improvements include improved fidelity in Performance Mode, Transmog to switch up outfit looks, the ability to reset skill points, a new Ultra-hard difficulty mode, and New Game+ where players are able to carry over their endgame gear as well as gain access to new weapons and trophies.

Not long now as Stray has been confirmed to be released on July 19, 2022 for the PS5 and PS4 from Bluetwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive. For players who have subscribed to the PSPlus Extra or Premium/Deluxe tiers, the good news is Stray will be coming on day one to those tiers!

The Calisto Protocol
Striking Distance Studios and Krafton are pleased to announce that The Calisto Protocol will be released for the PS5 and PS4 on December 2, 2022. This very atmospheric horror title looks to set the holidays ablaze with nightmares this year and if you think it looks eerily familiar to Dead Space, that’s because you are right! The Calisto Protocol comes from the very creator of Dead Space, Glen Scholfield!

Rollerdrome
Roll7 and Private Division are pleased to announce their newest title Rollerdrome will be coming out on August 16, 2022 for the PS5 and PS4. This wild third-person skate/shooter hybrid looks like it might be another hidden gem worth paying attention to especially since it comes from the very same people who made OlliOlliWorld.

Eternights
Studio Sai in collaboration with Kowloon Nights brings Eternights to the PS5 and PS4 in early 2023. Described as a dating action game, Eternights promises to bring gorgeous graphics with compelling stories for players. The game has also been confirmed to be coming to PC.

Street Fighter 6
Capcom decided to share one more surprise by revealing a good long look at Street Fighter 6. The legacy of the series looks to evolve even further as it looks like players are now able to run around an open-world/hub area. Quite a bold risk and I do hope it ends up being one well worth taking. Characters revealed so far include Jamie, Luke, Chunli, and Ryu. The game has been confirmed to be coming for both the PS5 and PS4 sometime in 2023.

Tunic
Releasing a short while ago for the Xbox and PC, this highly regarded title is set to be coming for PS5 and PS4 players on September 27, 2022. This action-adventure title developed by Andrew Shouldice and published by Finji looks to bring gorgeous art style and addictive gameplay to PlayStation players soon.

Season: A Letter To The Future
One of the standouts from this State Of Play was Scavengers Studios’ Season: A Letter To The Future. What looks to be a beautiful reflective game full of exploration and discovery is set to be released for the PS5 and PS4 in Autumn/Fall of 2022.

Final Fantasy XVI
A solid State of Play was then capped off by the stunning new trailer coming from the Creative Business Unit 3 from Square Enix with Final Fantasy XVI. This new entry in the long-running series looks to bring even more drama and political intrigue alongside fast-paced combat all the while pushing what the PS5 is capable of graphically. The game is slated to release in the Summer of 2023 so that wait is going to be a very long one.

That’s all the announcements that came out from PlayStation’s Stae Of Play today. What did you think of how it went and what were the announcements that got you buzzing? Was it the multitude PSVR2 announcements? The reveal of RE4Remake or finally new information and footage of Final Fantasy 16?
We can’t wait to see what comes next for all these games and PSVR2 is really shaping up to bring a new defining VR experience for all.
