There isn’t a l𒊎ot of joy to be found in game showcases these days. Layoffs are just a fact of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:working in the games industry now, considered an inevitability no matter what role you work in, and studio closures are so common that you never kn💞ow which game is going to be a studio’s last. It’s hard to enjoy a peek into the future when you know so well that things could go bad 𝓡at the snap of a finger.

All the same, I watch these showcases, and in a largely futile attempt to make myself look forward to them, I play a game. It’s not much of a game, really, I just make predictions about what we will and won’t see and then laugh later at how wrong I was. My hit rate isn’t great. I did this for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Game Awards in December and was wrong on every count apart from one confirmed appearance (), so,ܫ you know. Take this entire li💜st with a pinch of salt. I’m really bad at this game I made up for myself where I have no competition, but it’s fine.

Why Are None Of PlayStation's FromSoftware Games On PC?

Demon's Soulꦺs is the latest PlayStation-published FromSoftware game to miss out on a PC release.

Anyway, an insider has hinted that PlayStation wil♎l be hosting a State of Play showcase some time next week, so I’m playing the game, based on the assumption that a showcase is going to happen at all. Recent State of Plays have been a lit🎃tleꦕ lacklustre – we’ve been seeing a lot of live-service games (in keeping with Sony’s live-service ambitions), ports, sequels, remakes, and a handful of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:largely disappointing VR games. That said, does actually have some cool stuff slated for a 2025 launch, so… Fingඣ⛦ers crossed?

I Think So, But I’m Always Wrong

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach

This is one of the most obvious choices, considering that it’s a sequel to a wildly populꦡar (and highly contentious) PlayStation game, it’s meant to release this year, and we somehow didn’t see it at or The Game Awards despite both shows typically being a ♔-fest. might get a release date at the State of Play, or at the very least a narrowed-down release window.

Ghost of Yotei

If all goes well, the to , anoth🌞er popular PlayStation property, should also be released this year. While I’m not sure we’꧒ll see a concrete release date, we haven’t seen any gameplay out of this game, and with Summer Game Fest quite a ways away, State of Play is where we’re going to see a gameplay trailer if we indeed see one in the first half of the year.

Astro Bot DLC

I’m fairly sure that we’ll be getting more post-launch content f🎉or last year’s GOTY winner, it’s just unclear exactly when, or what we’ll be getting. I have a feeling it’ll be paid DLC, unlike the free levels that have already been added pre-Christmas, but that’s not going to stop us from running to beat them the moment they drop.

MultiVersus failed, ultimately,🌜 because i𓄧t made itself too difficult to love.

Sony’s Live-Service Games

Knowing Sony, we’re almost definitely going to see some of these. A few p𓆏rojects have been💟 cancelled after Concord’s failure, so it’s unclear what’s still in the works and what isn’t – and seem to still be in the running, as is a Horizon co-op game developed by Guerrilla (separate from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon MMO that was apparently cancelಞled). Maybe w൲e’ll get𒅌 our first look at that last game?

Phantom Blade Zero

The studio behind , S-Game, released a trailer two weeks ago for the Lunar New Year, displaying new gameplay footage and saying that a release date will be announced this year. That’s not a definitive sign that we’ll see the announcement at the upcomi🌳ng State of Play, but maybe.

Xbox Ports

I mostly mean 16🎃8澳洲幸运5开奖网:Indiana Jones and the Great🍰 Circle here, but I’m hedging my bets. Xbox has already said that the game will 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:release on PS5 in spring of 2025, whi🧸ch is quickly approaching. I know, nobody wants to think about the pa🐬ssage of time, but here we are. We might get a firm release date at the State of Play.

Probably Not, But I Guess You Can Dream

Grand Theft Auto 6

This seems like a stretch. Ro📖ckstar is really good at shutting up and letting tꦅhe hype build itself, and I’m not sure we’ll see more of GTA 6 until closer 🅘ꦑto the end of the year, when it’s projected to be released. I love some copium as much as anybody else, but I fear we’ll have to keep cooking up conspiracy theories for the time being.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

I’m sure this is a lot of people’s most anticipated first-party Sony game, but it’s too soon. We🗹 only just saw a trailer at The Game Awards. I’m predicting we’ll have to wait a year to see any more, maybe longer than that.

Marvel’s Wolverine

I don’t think we’ll be seeing this, but I’d love to be wrong. I doubt production is far enough along that we’ll be seeing any sort of gameplay, but a moody story trailer would be very welcome, and could change the mood around the game after gallons of🥃 unpolis🌸hed leaks.

Some Other Kojima Stuff

Hideo Kojima is PlayStation’s baby, after all. OD? Physint? An update on that Death Stranding movie adaptation that I de⛦sperately don’t want Kojima to be overly involved in? I don’t know. Once again, I mostly just want to see more of OD so I can appreciate Hunter♈ Schafer.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Please, don’t make me laugh.
