Many people were left wanting more from yesterday's
State of Play, but here are the nine biggest announcements from the event.
Don't hold your breath for a big
AAA title (well not entirely) because at the moment, we are in the post console lull.
1
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time's PS5 Version Showcased
Crash Bandicoot 4 will be releasing on March 12th on the PS5 and will run at 4K/60FPS.
2
Digital Dodgeball Never Looked So Cool
Digital dodgeball simulator, Knockout City, which was featured in last week's Nintendo Direct, had another spot in yesterday's State of Play. Knock Out city will release on PS4 on May 21st, and whoever runs their PR should get a raise.
3
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Ember Lab’s new game that seems to channel, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, looks to be a beautiful showcase of what the PS5 can do. Kena releases on August 24th.
4
Sifu announced for PS4 and PS5
Sifu is a new Kung Fu style video game that seeks to turn the student into the master by deepening their skills in martial arts. There is currently not a release date for Sifu, but fans can expect it sometime in 2021.
5
Heart Machine's Solar Ash will arrive on PS4 and PS5 sometime in 2021, an official release date not yet been announced. The devs behind Hyper Light Drifter havesaid the game focuses on fluidity of movement instead of combat, so that should be interesting.
6
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach Revealed
Horror fans can rejoice, Five Nights at Freddy’s returns with a new horrific entry in the franchise, Security Breach, for release at some point in the near future.
7
New Deathloop Trailer
Arkane Studios, developers of Prey 2017 and Dishonored gave us another look at the PS5 exclusive Deathloop. This time-travel-based action-adventure releases on May 21st, 2021.
8
New Returnal Gameplay
Returnal is what we'd assume, Hideo Kojima, would make if he created a third-person shooter. Fast, frantic, and filled with gorgeous action sets, Returnal looks like Death Stranding on Steroids. Returnal will release on April 30th this year.
9
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is getting a PS5 version on June 10th of this year, and PS4 owners will be able to upgrade their copies for free to the PS5 version if they have a PS5 with a dics drive. The PS5 version will have a 60 FPS performance mode and a fidelity mode that focuses on 4K resolution. Square Enix also announced a PS5 only DLC for FF7R featuring Yuffie that will be available for purchase sometime this year.
