It took long enough, but Sony has finally fully revealed their upcoming PlayStation 5 console alongside a very impressive collection of exciting new games. In fact, 26 total titles were announced during the presentation, and almost all of them were gorgeous, top-tier showings that showed off the true power of the hardware.
Perhaps the event’s most stunning title was Horizon Forbidden West, Guerrilla Games’ followup to their immensely popular PS4 hit Horizon Zero Dawn. With jaw-dropping vistas and new robot dinosaurs to take down, it’s sure to be one of the PS5’s generation-defining games.
Also on show was the first look at Resident Evil 8: Village, which seems to retain the previous game’s first-person perspective while taking players to new and vibrant locations. Don’t worry, though, as the giant and foreboding castle shown in the trailer guarantees the game will keep its dark, sinister vibes.
Meanwhile, Bluepoint Games is handling the long-rumored Demon’s Souls remake, but Sony only granted gamers a quick CGI trailer for now. Still, it was enough to get Souls-like fans hyped up for the eventual full unveiling of the title sometime in the future.
There were plenty of beautiful action-adventure and platforming titles on show, too, such as Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Little Devil Inside, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Astro’s Playroom. The latter is said to be included on every PS5 at launch, so that’s something very cool to look forward to.
