Sony State of Play Round Up

A brand new Sony State of Play took place this week. With it came an exciting mix of announcements and information on games already announced. Here is a rundown of everything that went on during the State of Play, including each game that was shown.

Exoprimal

Exoprimal is a new IP developed by renowned developer Capcom. Initially, it made me think fans were getting a new Dino Crisis game however this is not the case. Exoprimal will see teams of five players take on endless waves of dinosaurs that are being transported to their world through an unknown vortex. Players will be able to adapt to any situation on the fly by changing executes mid-battle to cover any possible situation. Exoprimal is expected to launch in 2023 for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

Ghostwire Tokyo

Ghostwire Tokyo was first announced back in 2019, since then we have seen many changes made to the game. This includes the fact that creative director Ikumi Nakamura left the project later that same year. Ghostwire Tokyo is finally making its way to gamers on March 25, 2022, and showed off a new story trailer showing creepy Yokai and some fun, action-packed gameplay.

Forspoken

After its delay just a few days ago Forspoken was shown off to remind us all that it still certainly exists.

Look forward to Forspoken on October 11th, 2022.
