Enjoy the Persona games but wish they were both weirder and set in a medieval fantasy world? I’ve got some great news for you then, because that’s basically the description for Metaphor: ReFantazio. Production is being led by Katsura Hashino (director of Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5), and it looks utterly wild. Turn-based combat, nightmare-fuel enemies, and overworld exploration which factors in both a calendar system and light social simulation elements. Mark this one on your calendar.

**Release date: **October 15, 2024

October 15 is the day PS5 players will be able to step ashore the island of Aeternum for themselves, and with New World’s new single-player mode, you won’t have to hop online and muck in with your fellow players unless you’re craving the MMO experience or some PvP action.

Get ready for the most badass hedgehogs in gaming to make a show-stopping return in Shadow x Sonic Generations, an upcoming PS5 game landing on October 25. The reveal trailer shown at this year’s Summer Game Show gives us a taste of its madcap platforming, pinball, and racing action that looks set to keep us occupied as the weather starts getting chillier and nights on the sofa look more and more appealing.

The game is set to drop in October, so we only have a few more months of waiting!
Developer: BioWare
Publisher: EA
Release date: October 31, 2024
We finally have some news on Dragon Age 4 - or Dragon Age: The Veilguard as it’s officially called! Although there was a time of platform concerns, the fantasy title is an upcoming PS5 game. We also know that it is releasing on October 31, meaning that Solas and Co. are making a return in the Fall. Besides a fancy trailer and teasers, there is some glorious concept art and the confirmation that it will continue on from where Dragon Age: Inquisition left off for us to look forward to.
Developer: Bokeh Game Studio
Publisher: Bokeh Game Studio
Release date: November 8, 2024
The first new game from Silent Hill’s Keiichiro Toyama promises to get under your skin. If you’re a fan of Japanese body horror mixed with crisp PS5 visuals, this is going to be a must-see, especially seeing as the newly announced release date will throw us straight back into Spooksville shortly after Halloween. This isn’t quite the psychological survival horror that its studio started out with, rather Slitterhead’s neon city lights, katanas, and - yes - tentacles look set to make for a more action-packed experience overall.
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release date: November 15, 2024
Formerly known as Assassin’s Creed Red, Ubisoft has since confirmed that this upcoming Assassin’s Creed game will be titled Shadows.

This is one of our most anticipated upcoming Marvel games to keep an eye on right now, and from what we’ve seen from trailers and teasers already, it looks like it’s going to be a hit.
**Developer: **In-house
**Publisher: **Build a Rocket Boy
Release date: TBC 2024
Everywhere is the new upcoming “multi-world” game first revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live. Developed by Build a Rocket Boy with former Rockstar president Leslie Benzie on the project, we got a very early look at the project, which, according to the official site, “seamlessly blends gameplay, adventure, creativity and discovery in an all-new multi-world gaming experience”, that’s claims to redefine “how players connect with one another and with the digital world around them.” Since the initial reveal was shrouded in mystery, no platforms were announced, but we assume it’s set to come to PS5.
Developer: In-house
Publisher: Saber Interactive
Release date: TBC 2024
If gunning down zombies in a game co-created by a horror icon sounds like your idea of a party, boy does John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando have a surprise for you. We first caught wind of it at Summer Game Fest 2023, and the announcement trailer is suitably chaotic. From the spray of bullets raining down on legions of the undead to decidedly out-of-tune rendition of You Give Love a Bad Name underscoring it all, this is one horde FPS game worth keeping an eye on as we await a more concrete release date.
Developer: Studio Gobo / Guerilla
**Publisher: **Sony
Release date: TBC 2024
Aloy is heading to the Lego universe in an upcoming PS5 game bridging the gap between a post-post apocalyptic world and the beloved brick-based toy franchise. Lego Horizon Adventures will hit the shelves later this year, bringing our fiery-haired heroine into mini-fig form, alongside all your favorite machines (and a hot dog guy for good measure). Just how well the grittier world of Horizon translates into the whimsical planes of Lego remains to be seen, but so far this looks like a fun time.
Developer: Neostream Interactive
Release date: TBC 2024
Little Devil Inside first began life on Kickstarter back in 2015. Fast forward five years later and we see a debut trailer during the PS5 reveal stream with the news that it will be a timed exclusive. As an RPG with survival elements, Little Devil inside is set in the “Victorian-like” era in a semi-open world. The trailer showed off a whole host of monsters and also gave us brief glimpses of some of the combat elements and features. It was easily one of the biggest surprises of the recent showcase.
Developer: Hello Games
**Publisher: **Hello Games
Release date: TBC 2024
No Man’s Sky developer Hello Games is bringing us a new experience with Light No Fire - a survival sandbox adventure you can play with others. Set on an open-world fantasy planet that’s described as being the same size as the Earth, you’ll be given the freedom to explore its diverse biomes as you try to unravel its lore and mysteries. With building and survival aspects, we also saw in the reveal trailer that you can fly through the vistas on the back of a dragon, climb mountains, and even set sail across the oceans.

Publisher: Private Division
Release date: TBC 2024
No Rest for the Wicked from Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps developer Moon Studios is a new action RPG set in the year 841.

Publisher: Devolver Digital
Release date: TBC 2024
Little is known about Neva at the moment, save for what we saw at the PlayStation Showcase 2023, but its stunning 2D landscapes speak to a fantastical world where man and wolf live in harmony. Another look at Summer Games Fest took us back into these almost water-color worlds to tell the story of a young woman venturing forth with a strange wolf cub in tow. The pair will platform their way through a slowly decaying world set against a plethora of gorgeous backdrops and moody sunsets.
Developer: Dreamlit Games
Publisher: TBC
Release date: TBC 2024
If paragliding around Hyrule is your favorite part of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Towers of Aghasba is one to watch out for. We first caught wind of the fantasy adventure title almost five years ago, so it’s a relief to hear that it’s finally slated to launch in 2024. The game sees the player traversing a strange alien planet from the skies, battling bizarre monsters and creatures while coasting above what looks to be an expansive open world.
**Developer: **Ivy Road
**Publisher: **Annapurna Interactive
**Release date: **TBC 2024
Run a tea shop and farm for ingredients in this cozy upcoming PS5 game. Annapurna has a flair for delivering the quirkiest games out there, with last years’ Thirsty Suitors being a prime example, and Wanderstop is carrying on that proud tradition. It’s described by the developer as a narrative-rich cozy gaming experience about the simple things in life: change (the personal growth kind, we assume), and the healing powers of tea. This looks like a beautiful story-driven life and crafting sim already, so get it on your list of games to watch in 2024.

It’s been eight years, but we’re finally getting the next installment in the Civilization series. And the good news is that there are plenty of details to dig into about the upcoming PS5 game.

Developer: Warhorse Studios
Publisher: Deep Silver
Release date: February 11, 2025
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been a long time in the works, but Summer Games Fest gave us a new look at the stories, characters, and combat we can look forward to in the next installment. The 15th-century action RPG showed off its more comic backbone in the latest trailers, but between that quick sex-scene cutaway and the odd slightly clumsy quip, we were treated to a satisfying selection of first-person combat clips. Whether you pick up your bow and arrow or hop on your trusty steed, this looks like a raucously good time.
**Developer: **Don’t Nod
Publisher: Don’t Nod
Release date: February 18, 2025
Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is a new story-driven adventure from Life is Strange developer, Don’t Nod. Set in the new “Lost Records universe”, Bloom and Rage follows high school friends Swann, Nora, Autumn in a journey through time.

Set on the war-torn continent of Pywel, players will take on the mercenary Macduff as they explore various settlements, take down massive bosses, and encounter mythical beasts on their journey. All the trailers and teasers that we’ve seen for Crimson Desert look fantastic, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.

Publisher: Sony Entertainment
Release date: TBC 2025
Kojima Productions is back with Death Stranding 2, and although Kojima is claiming that it’s just a working title for now, it is a sequel to the 2019 title. The teaser trailer shown at the Game Awards 2022 featured Fragile protecting what we assume to be a toddler version of BB, a greying Sam Porter Bridges, and a ship that looked very much like the Metal Gear Rex. Concrete details right now are scarce, but we do know that the cast currently includes Norman Reedus, Léa Seydoux, Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, and Troy Baker.

Doom: The Dark Ages, the prequel to the Doom reboot and Doom Eternal, is coming to PC and consoles in 2025. That means we have the new entry to the franchise behind some of the best shooters heading to PS5 on the day it launches, a very welcomed surprise given how Microsoft own the Doom Slayer’s next outing. Doom: The Dark Ages will take PS5 and Xbox players alike to a medieval setting complete with demon dragons and burning castles.

During Gamescom 2024, it was announced that the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle PS5 release date had been pushed back to spring 2025. Xbox and PC players can start Indy’s new adventure on December 9, 2024. While no one likes to wait, we at least know that the game is heading to PS5 and that we’ll still get the chance to face Nazis, travel the world, and solve various puzzles during our treasure-hunting exploits. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set between Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, so it will truly be our chance to live out our action movie fantasies once 2025 rolls around.
Developer: Ghost Story Games
Publisher: Ghost Story Games
Release date: March 2025
BioShock creator Ken Levine has finally revealed his new project - Judas. With seriously strong BioShock vibes, Judas is a single-player narrative title where you must try to escape a disintegrating starship. You must survive by either making or breaking alliances with the other people on the ship, your so-called worst enemies. You’re playing as the titular Judas, who is described as “mysterious and troubled”, and seemingly has powers in her left hand that she can switch out - again very Bioshock in space vibes all round.

Monster Hunter Wilds is said to be the next generation of the Monster Hunter series that will take full advantage of the power of the PS5. With a reveal at The Game Awards 2023, we got a glimpse of the new experience, which features a “new level of detailed creatures and ecosystems” within what looks set to be one expansive open-world setting. There’s still much we don’t yet know about the adventure, but it’s certainly giving similar vibes to Monster Hunter World.
Developer: The Chinese Room
Publisher: Paradox Interactive
Release date: TBC 2025
Looking for a game with a bit of extra bite?** **Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 puts you in the seedy underbelly of Seattle, which should suit you just fine as a vampire ready to test out your new fangs. Turned as an act of vampire terrorism during the ‘Mass Embrace’, you’ll soon get caught up in vampire faction politics, where you’re still just trying to deal with your new way of life. This is an RPG at its core, too, filled with player choices, a strong narrative, and branching dialogue options.
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Publisher: Ubisoft
**Release date: **TBC
Ubisoft Montreal – the birthplace of Assassin’s Creed – is working on a very different type of entry to the series. Following the release of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in 2020, the studio has been quietly working on Assassin’s Creed Codename Hexe under the leadership of Watch Dogs Legion’s creative director Clint Hocking. While it’s thought to be in early development, an early tease suggests a far darker setting that could revolve around Europe’s bloody 16th century witch trials. Sadly, there’s a good chance we’ll be waiting until 2024 and beyond for this one.
Developers: Ubisoft Montreal, Ubisoft Quebec
**Publisher: **Ubisoft
Release date: TBC
Assassin’s Creed Infinity remains one of the most mysterious projects in development at Ubisoft. This cross-studio collaboration sees Ubisoft Montreal (Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) and Ubisoft Quebec (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey) working more closely to shape and define the future of this long-running series. While details are light on the ground, it’s expected that Assassin’s Creed Infinity will act as an interactive hub, connecting players and future AC experiences into one seamless, evolving platform. Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be the first game available via Infinity, so we are anticipating that it will land on November 15 as well. But, we’re still waiting for firm confirmation.
Developer: Colossal Order

Cities Skylines 2 is finally coming to console after its PC launch last year, and is the long-awaited sequel to one of the most popular city builders of all time. It’s bringing with it enhanced features like better road tools, public and cargo transportation, traffic AI, massive 150 tile maps per unique city, and a cinematic camera. We’ll also be able to get much closer to the action than ever before, with the opportunity to follow individual citizens from birth to death in your city.

Funcom is bringing us a new survival open-world MMO set in the vast landscape of the classic sci-fi setting Arrakis. Dune: Awakening is said to blend the survival game genre with a multiplayer experience as you try to live in the harsh landscapes of the planet. You’ll be building shelters to weather sandstorms, looking after your stillsuit, and trying to brave the deep desertland. It’ll be interesting to see how the famous setting serves as a home for an MMO experience. During Gamescom 2024, it was announced that the game is set to release in Early Access for PC players in 2025. However, we are still waiting on a PS5 release window.

Ah, the Elder Scrolls 6. The 37-second trailer that blew the world’s mind at E3 2018. The game that we know nothing about beyond this same trailer, that is in development somewhere within Bethesda Game Studios along with Starfield. Because it is so far away from release, you can bet your bottom coin that it’s going to appear - at some point - on the PS5 (although hopefully not whatever the PS6 could be).
Developer: Haven Studios
Publisher: SIE
Release date: TBC
Haven Studios was acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2022, becoming part of the PlayStation Studios family to help lead the PS5’s expanding live service initiative. The studio’s debut is Fairgames, an all-new co-op experience where you’ll team up with friends to go up against the corporate overloads squeezing the life out of the world. This PS5 exclusive is still in early development, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one in the months ahead.
Developer: Bungie
Publisher: SIE
Release date: TBC
A classic shooter is getting more than a fresh lick of paint in Bungie’s high-octane remake of Marathon. The announcement trailer seen during the PlayStation Showcase 2023 is peppered with nods to the arcade stylings of the 1994 original, this time in sleek, hyper-pigmented 4K graphics to introduce Marathon to a new generation. It’s good to see Bungie giving some love to other IPs aside from Destiny 2 and Halo, even without a confirmed release date, and it’s safe to say the trailer has whet our appetites for what lies ahead.
Developer: Insomniac
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Release date: TBC
Undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises of the PlayStation September 2021 showcase came in the shape of those famous adamantium claws belonging to none other than Wolverine. Yes, a new standalone Marvel’s Wolverine game is currently in development. While we’re light on details for the moment, we do know Brian Horton is Wolverine’s creative director, and Cameron Christian is the game director. Horton was creative director on Spider-Man Miles Morales and has also worked on games such as Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Christian previously worked on Spider-Man and Spider-Man Miles Morales, as well as other titles such as Sunset Overdrive. Insomniac revealed its goal is to “respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also try to make it feel fresh” and reflect the studio’s spirit.

It’s been almost 20 years since the release of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and its legend has only spiraled out of control in that time. Thankfully, Konami is working to introduce one of the best PS2 games to a whole new generation of players with a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake for PS5. While we’re yet to get any concrete details on the expected changes or a look at any real-time gameplay, we are keen to see what steps Konami will take to modernize this exceptionally important (and incredibly strange) stealth-action game.

It might be quite a way off release, but that isn’t going to stop us being ridiculously overexcited for a brand new Mass Effect game - aka Mass Effect 5. Seemingly picking up after the events of Mass Effect 3, we’ll be seeing some old faces return and some plot lines picked back up. Of course, the big question of whether Shepard will return remains, but we’re ready for everything.
Developer: Cruel Man Studio
Publisher: S-Game
Release date: TBC
If you’re a fan of samurai swashbuckling and moody feudal Japan as a setting, Phantom Blade 0 seems to be promising us both. The third person action title is yet to have a confirmed release date, but from what we’ve seen at the PlayStation Showcase 2023, your character has “66 days to live”. What will he do with it? “Get my heart back,” he responds. We don’t know much else just yet, but its brooding color scheme and fast-paced melee combat seem like a dynamic blend of Gungrave GORE aesthetics with Ghost of Tsushima action, and we’re already here for it.
Developer: Capcom

Capcom revealed a mysterious new game called Pragmata that leaves more questions than it answers but certainly piqued a lot of interest when it was added to the upcoming PS5 games list. Described as a “thought-provoking game”, the trailer shows someone in what looks like a space suit in a futuristic setting, where they encounter a young girl and holo-cat. While it won’t be coming any time soon, we’re certainly eager to learn more about this rather enigmatic adventure.

IO Interactive is gearing up to tell the origin story for James Bond in a brand new game currently titled Project 007. Although details are scarce, and an official name is yet to be revealed, what we do know is that it’s going to be an entirely original James Bond story - so not tied to the novels or films. Hakan Abrak, CEO of IO says that it is “the most ambitious game in the history of our studio”. Exciting times ahead.
