Right as January ends, Sony has hosted its first State of Play for the year. As always, the PlayStation has a lot teases for its upcoming games. If you missed the showcase, here’s a quick rundown of the biggest trailers from the event.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Though the new title was the last one announced during the event, it took center stage, taking up 10 minutes of the approximately 45-minute event. The long trailer gave the most comprehensive look at the upcoming sequel.

Humanity is still in danger. Sam (Norman Reedus) is back to undertake a new expedition beyond the United Cities of America. With him are new companions, starring Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, and Troy Baker.

There’s not much else to say about the game. As always, Death Stranding 2 is… unusual, to say the least. The trailer features another baby, a talking doll, new enemies, and the wackiest battle scene featuring a Joker-like enemy with an electric guitar as a weapon.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is set to launch in 2025.

Silent Hill: The Short Message

Surprise, surprise. As soon as State of Play ended, Konami released a new Silent Hill game absolutely free to play. The short-form title, Silent Hill: The Short Message features a new protagonist navigating through a terrifying building. A beacon in the light in the darkness, she has a phone which constantly buzzes her with text messages.

Again, it’s free and available now. Besides the new title, Konami also teased new footage for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake.

Until Dawn Remake

Horror seems like the main focus of this January’s State of Play. Sony announced that it is developing a remake of the popular horror title Until Dawn. Featuring branching choices and multiple endings, players are faced with tough decisions on who gets to live or die.

A bright spot in 2015, the original title had stellar performances from Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere. It will be rebuilt for the PlayStation 5 and PC later this year.

Metro Awakening

Capping off the event’s horror section, Metro Awakening brings players back to post-apocalyptic Moscow. Featuring a new story set before the events of Metro 2033, Awakening will set players into the shoes of Serdar, a doctor in search of his missing wife.

As usual, the title will have human and otherworldly enemies. Adding to the horror, the game will be available through PS VR2. It’s coming later this year.

Judas

It’s been a while since the Bioshock series. Though Irrational Games has since been rebranded to Ghost Story Games, the studio has not forgotten its roots. In Judas, players are once again trapped in an experimental city. This time, it’s the Mayflower, a seafaring city where social boundaries are frayed by constant snooping on one another.

Plus, rather than focus on plain shoot-em-ups, Judas will feature more character work. Through their actions, players can influence whom they get close to. It also has a similar power system like the Bioshock series.

Judas is scheduled to launch in 2025.

Rise of the Ronin

Sekiro, Nioh, Ghost of Tsushima. These three games brought medieval Japan to life on modern systems. Now, the creators of Nioh, Team Ninja is back with Rise of the Ronin. The game is set in 19^th-century Japan, a time when the historically isolated country started opening its borders to Western trade.

As such, besides just the normal fare of Japanese tools, players will also have access to Western-influenced tools such as a flamethrower-esque Fire Pipe. Traversal is likewise augmented with a grappling rope and the Avicula, an air glider.

Rise of the Ronin launches on March 22.

Dave the Diver x Godzilla

Dave the Diver was one of the standout titles of 2023. The fishing-slash-restaurant simulator is back with a new partnership to add more content to the game. Coming in May, the game will host Japan’s favorite kaiju, Godzilla. The kaiju will join the forces from Dredge as welcome additions to the small title.

And one other thing…

Before the State of Play ended, Hideo Kojima appeared in the flesh to deliver exciting news from Kojima Productions. To celebrate the developer’s 40^th anniversary of his game production work, Kojima is returning to the action-espionage genre.

Sounds familiar? For the first time since Metal Gear Solid V, Kojima is revisiting the genre that earned him so much popularity. Naturally, Kojima can’t use the Metal Gear Solid franchise itself. As such, the upcoming game, currently named PHYSINT, will be an original IP.

Kojima also teases that the title will be a massive bridge between film and video games. He also says that it is the “culmination of my work.”
