In case you missed the PlayStation Showcase last night, we have you covered with all the essential information, including release dates and platforms.
The curtains have closed on the PlayStation Showcase 2023, after having revealed dozens of new games and updates on an array of forthcoming PlayStation 5 titles, including release dates and a handful of surprises.
The biggest game of the night was Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which scheduled to launch later this year but there was disappointment with the number of new Sony announcements in particular.
As Xbox pointed out, most of the games were multiformat, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t exciting, with some particularly interesting looking new indie titles.
Fairgame$ (PS5 and PC)
Fairgame$ doesn’t have a release date yet, which means it’s almost certainly not going to be out this year. It’s a Sony first party title, by new studio Haven, and It will be released on PlayStation 5 and PC. Since it’s a multiplayer game, and probably a live service title, there may be beta invites which could happen next year or maybe even before the end of 2023.
Helldivers 2 (PS5 and PC)
Helldivers 2 is scheduled to release in 2023 on PlayStation 5 and PC, marking one of the first PlayStation Studios titles to launch simultaneously on both platforms. In this sequel, Super-Earth is attacked by alien civilisations, in what was several online shooters announced by Sony during the showcase.
Immortals Of Aveum (PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC)
Immortals Of Aveum is set to launch on July 20, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game is characterised as a magical shooter, which means that instead of firing bullets you’re shooting magic spells and fighting dragons. A lot of Call Of Duty and other first person veterans are working on the game though, so it has a good pedigree.
Ghostrunner 2 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC)
Ghostrunner 2 is scheduled to release in 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While the majority of the trailer for Ghostrunner 2 consists of CGI, there is a glimpse of gameplay towards the end. The trailer shows the familiar high-speed action, that made the original a surprise hit, along with new features like the F-Zero style racing.
Phantom Blade Zero (PS5)
Although no release date or window has been provided, it’s confirmed that Phantom Blade Zero will be available only for PlayStation 5. It offers fast-paced sword-based combat from a third person perspective and while it looks like a cross between a From and Platinum game it’s by Chinese studio S-Games.
Sword Of The Sea (PS5)
As of now, Sword Of The Sea doesn’t have a confirmed release date, but it’s expected to launch on at least PlayStation 5. Developed by the creator of Journey and The Pathless, it introduces a unique and visually stunning take on the surfing mechanic, that is very reminiscent of the same team’s previous games.
The Talos Principle 2 (PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC)
The Talos Principle 2 is slated for release in 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While the trailer mostly showcases CGI, this puzzle game aims to elevate the philosophical themes of its predecessor, offering an array of increasingly perplexing puzzles.
Neva (PS5)
Neva is scheduled for release in 2024, exclusively on PlayStation 5. Although the trailer lacks gameplay footage, it showcases a young woman accompanied by her giant wolf engaging in an intense conflict against a horde of seemingly demonic adversaries. It’s all very reminiscent of Princess Mononoke but it’s not really clear what the gameplay is like yet.
