PlayStation State of Play 2024 games
So far, Sony has only revealed two of the titles we’ll see at the event, and both are PS5 exclusives.
Firstly, there’s Stellar Blade, an action RPG announced back in 2021 when it was called Project Eve. If the thought of slicing up incredibly ugly monsters fills you with glee, then this Devil May Cry and Bayonetta mash-up could be for you.
Viewers will also get an extended look at Rise of the Ronin, a historical adventure set in shogun-era Japan from the studio behind Nioh. Yes, expect to see more sharp and pointy things, only this time they’ll be put to use on actual humans. The game’s reveal trailer gave us Assassin’s Creed vibes, with some stylish third-person combat thrown in for good measure.
As exciting as those two titles sound, what about all the other games Sony has teased? Well, online chatter suggests we’ll also see Death Stranding 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, a Sonic Generations remaster, Silent Hill 2, Judas, and a new Metro game.
