After a few unforeseen delays, Sony has finally unveiled the upcoming games for the PlayStation 5. Though a few titles have already been confirmed prior to the event, the PlayStation 5 has lifted the curtain on a wider array of partnerships and exclusives we can’t wait to sink our teeth into for the upcoming generation of gaming. Here’s a look at what Sony revealed at its recent online event:

Grand Theft Auto V

A staple of the previous two PlayStation generations, Grand Theft Auto V returns for the PlayStation 5. The rereleased game will feature updated graphics and better optimization. Ultimately, if you haven’t played the game yet, a PS5 version will present your best opportunity to take advantage of the new hardware in an older game. For current players, Rockstar Games is giving away free credits for Grand Theft Auto Online until the PS5’s launch.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Sony started off the new games showcase with a huge bang. Coming off of the hugely successful Spider-Man on the PS4, Spider-Man: Miles Morales continues the story from the eponymous character’s perspective. Though initially a member of the Ultimate Marvel universe, Miles Morales is now a staple of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man universe and was a prominent side character in the first game. At the end of the first game, Miles Morales discovers that he has the same powers as Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man.

Stray

You play as a cat in a world with robots. The trailer didn’t reveal much details about this game. Then again, you play as a cat. Do you need any more reason to play this game? If you’ve followed gaming news and rumors over the years, this is the same cat game that was stuck in development for years. Finally, a finalized game is coming out next year!

Ghostwire Tokyo

Asian-horror ghosts. Modern Japan. Though not a strictly horror survival game, Ghostwire Tokyo pits you against a host of ghosts as your try to save Japan from supernatural forces. Based on real urban legends, each ghost has a slew of strengths and abilities. For Asian horror fans, this is an exciting title based solely on the lore possibilities.

Hitman III

The third entry in the current series, Hitman III concludes the trilogy with a much more personal story featuring Agent 47. Like the previous titles, the game will allow players to creatively assassinate targets using weapons, accidents, and disguises. Notably, the game will allow you to carry over your progress from the previous two games.

NBA 2K21

This is our first look at the upcoming 2K game. The trailer features a brilliantly rendered Zion Williamson shooting hoops in an empty court. There are a few things to unpack here. First of all, the court is differently shaded, a huge departure from the normally well-lit environs of the game series. Secondly, Zion’s sweat is amazing. It looks like 2K Sports worked on more advanced sweat mechanics for the next generation. Thirdly, the trailer ends with Zio breaking the rim. Is this hinting at a return of the rim-breaking mechanic?

Demon’s Souls

To most Dark Souls fans, Demon Souls was the game that started it all. Featuring brutal difficulty and an expansive lore, the action roleplaying game will return for a remake in the upcoming generation. When the original game first launched for the PlayStation 3, its graphics were good for that generation. However, the remake will rebuild the game from the ground up, much like this year’s Final Fantasy VII Remake.

Deathloop

Created by Arkane Studio, the same developers of the acclaimed Dishonored series, Deathloop plays in much the same way. You are an assassin seeking out specific targets in an open but element-rich playground. However, the game features a twist: every time you die or succeed, time loops back around, allowing you a different way to accomplish new tasks. Also, rival assassins play with you, preventing you from finishing your targets easily.

Resident Evil Village

After a hugely successful Resident Evil 7 for the PS4, Capcom comes back with the eighth major installment in the action horror series. As the game’s name suggests, Ethan Winters will find himself in a mysterious village, an eerie similarity to the iconic Resident Evil 4. Also, Chris Redfield returns in the final moments of the trailer in a seemingly enigmatic heel turn.

Horizon Forbidden West

Capping off the monumental showcase is the long-awaited sequel to the PlayStation 4’s dark horse, Horizon Zero Dawn. Post-apocalyptic survivalist Aloy returns and picks up where the original game left off, shrouded in the mystery of Sylens. Most notably, the game features underwater exploration, featuring ruins long submerged under the ocean. It’s a huge nod to the capabilities of the PlayStation 5.

Beyond this extensive slew of games, Sony also announced a lot of newer properties and awaited sequels to respected series. The sequels include Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Oddworld: Soulstorm, and Astro’s Playroom. The new series include Project Athia, Returnal, Destruction AllStars, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Goodbye Volcano High, Jett: The Far Shore, Godfall, Solar Ash, Little Devil Inside, Bugsnax, and Pragmata.

Finally, the end of the event showcased the upcoming devices included in the PlayStation 5 generation. Here’s a better look at what the console will come with.

Tales of Berseria Remastered

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that Tales of Berseria Remastered is out now. It’s available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The remaster brings back the 2016 action RPG with visual and quality-of-life upgrades tailored for current-generation platforms. A new launch trailer accompanies the release. It offers a fresh look at Velvet’s journey, her party members, and her fateful clash with Altorius.

In celebration of the launch, fans in Southeast Asia can join an exclusive giveaway for a chance to win signed memorabilia from their favorite cast member. Details are available via Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia’s official Facebook and Instagram pages. A special video featuring the voice cast has also been released as part of the festivities.

A revenge story returns

Originally released in 2016, Tales of Berseria stood out as the first entry in the long-running franchise to feature a solo female protagonist. Players step into the role of Velvet. Her once gentle nature gives way to a burning desire for revenge after the death of her younger brother.

The remastered edition preserves the emotional weight of that story while refining the experience for modern hardware. Players can now toggle enemy encounters in fields and dungeons and view clearer destination icons for smoother navigation. The familiar Grade Shop is also unlocked from the start, allowing for a more flexible playthrough.

More than 70 pieces of DLC from the original release are included, ranging from character outfits inspired by previous Tales titles to helpful equipment for early adventures.

Game editions and bonuses

Tales of Berseria Remastered is available in both physical and digital formats. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, a Battle BGM pack, a digital artbook and soundtrack, and a Super Growth Support Herb Set.

Early purchasers and pre-order customers receive the Super Adventuring Assistance Set, which includes Apple Gel x10, Grape Gel x10, Life Bottle x10, and Panacea Bottle x10.

Physical copies also feature a reversible inlay with two different cover designs.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will launch in 2027

The region is based on Southeast Asia.

Published

on

The tenth generation of Pokémon is here! Kicking off the franchise’s celebration for thirty successful years, The Pokémon Company announced the next mainline games: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves.

The announcement trailer started with a nostalgic reminiscing of a Pikachu across all the different generations over the years. A sudden knock on the door breaks the protagonist’s reminiscing. At the door are two Pikachu dressed in vacation clothes, standing outside a beach house on stilts.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves isn’t just another trip to another roaring urban-to-rural region. Rather, the generation’s yet-unnamed region wants you to take a vacation in a place inspired by Southeast Asia.

Because of its tropical locale, a lot of the Pokémon featured are more nature- and animal-based. You won’t see a lot of the newer creatures inspired by objects here.

The region will also have a variety of biomes including a forest, a beach, and even an underground volcanic section. And, making a comeback for the first time in years, there will seemingly be an underwater biome filled with aquatic Pokémon.

Highlighting the new generation are three new starter Pokémon: Browt, the Grass-type bird Pokémon; Pombon, the Fire-type dog Pokémon; and Gecqua, the Water-type gecko Pokémon.

Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
