2024 has been the year of Alien. Not only did we get a new movie in the Xenomorph-loving franchise with Alien: Romulus, but a new Alien game was also announced, and we now get to end the year with Alien: Rogue Incursion once it releases on December 19. Rogue Incursion is a single-player horror VR game that throws you into the Alien universe. Players will have to embark on a dangerous rescue mission. As you’ve probably guessed already, you’ll end up being hunted by a hungry Xenomorph or two in the process. Honestly, we can’t wait for this one.

TBC 2024
Everywhere
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.
John Carpenter's Toxic Commando
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.
Little Devil Inside
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.
Light No Fire
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.

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.

You'll get to take on the role of a nameless hero, working to conquer the Three Kingdoms alongside legendary military figures. So far, it looks like the game has just the right balance of strategy and fast-paced action. It seems like it will be heaps of fun and the perfect way to start the New Year!
Sniper Elite: Resistance

Publisher: Rebellion
Release date: January 30, 2025
The sequel to Sniper Elite 5, PS5 owners can look forward to Sniper Elite: Resistance coming out at the end of January! If you aren't an avid player of the best shooters, Sniper Elite is one of the most known and beloved series in the tactical shooter space, letting players utilize stealth and smarts to take out Nazis from a distance. We love these games, and are big fans of the previous outing, calling it the "most well-rounded Sniper Elite game" so far in our Sniper Elite 5 review. So, we're keen to see if Resistance can live up to our high standards once it launches. We'll keep you posted as more details head our way!

Developer: Firaxis Games
Publisher: 2K Games

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
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.
Assassin's Creed Shadows
Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
Publisher: Ubisoft
Release date: February 14, 2025
Formerly known as Assassin's Creed Red, Ubisoft has since confirmed that this upcoming Assassin's Creed game will be titled Shadows.

Through magical glasses called "dateviators," you can date 100 different characters come to life out of household objects like, for example, you bed, smoke alarm, or even the fridge. Also, all of the characters are fully voiced and feature at least three endings each. That's... a lot of dating.

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
Developer: Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios
Publisher: SEGA
Release date: February 28, 2025
Let’s be honest: no one expected the next Yakuza game to be set on the high seas. But we couldn’t be more excited for the swashbuckling shake-up with the upcoming PS5 game, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Set after the events of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, we’ll get to see fan-favorite character, Goro Majima, sporting an eye patch and having lost his memories. In typical RPG fashion, there are also side stories for us to enjoy, whacky mini-games, and Majima can jump for the first time in the series' history! We can’t wait for this one and are already replaying all the best Yakuza games in preparation for 2025.
Monster Hunter Wilds
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Release date: February 28, 2025
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.

There's still much we don't yet know about the adventure, but it's certainly giving similar vibes to Monster Hunter World.
Two Point Museum
Developer: Two Point Studios
Publisher: SEGA
Release date: March 4, 2025
Two Point Museum is the latest game to come from Two Point Studios and will have players managing their own Museum as they design exhibits, work with experts to discover new artifacts and cater to the whims of the colorful visitors, hungry to engage in some fun history. The Two Point series has given us hit after hit (just read our Two Point Campus review if you don’t believe us). So, needless to say we can’t wait for this upcoming game. Few other series give us that perfect blend of cartoony wackiness with sleek management features and an easy-to-use UI. If you pre-order the game you can also get some Sonic items and cosmetics, so that’s a massive bonus in our books as well.
Tales of the Shire

While we don’t know much about the story for City of Wolves, we do know that it’s gameplay will be similar to it’s predecessor. However, we are getting a single-player mode with RPG mechanics and the return of several playable characters from the earlier Fatal Fury games. Sounds like a winner if you ask us! We’ll keep you posted as more news heads our way as we race into 2025.
TBC 2025
Atomfall
Developer: Rebellion
Publisher: Rebellion
Release date: March, 2025
Atomfall is easily one of the most exciting new PS5 games heading our way in 2025. It’s an action survival game inspired by real-life events (set five years after the 1957 Windscale nuclear disaster in Northern England). You’ll have to explore a fictional quarantine zone, craft and scavenge to survive, and uncover a host of narratives and characters along the way. According to the description on the PlayStation Store, Atomfall will have a dark mystery for us to uncover and have us interacting with cults and rogue government agencies.

Death Stranding 2
Developer: Kojima Productions
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
Developer: id Software
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks

Exploration is at the heart of the new PS5 game, but there is also plenty of combat on offer to keep action fans entertained as well. We’re super intrigued about the world on display in Hell is Us. It looks pretty original, and we are curious about the underlying story behind the setting, and faceless white monsters. Hopefully we hear more news on Hell is Us soon!

Developer: MachineGames
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Release date: TBC 2025

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.

Killing Floor 3
Developer: Tripwire Interactive
Publisher: Tripwire Interactive
Release date: TBC 2025
Get ready to kill some ZEDs because Killing Floor 3 is making its way into early access in 2025 on the PS5. This is the latest entry to the iconic Killing Floor series and will have you and a bunch of friends heading back to Horzine as you murder waves of bio-mutants. From the gameplay trailers that we’ve seen so far, it looks like the game will be just as gory and brutal as its predecessors.

Publisher: 2K

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
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.
Wanderstop
Developer: Ivy Road
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive
Release date: TBC 2025
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 2025.
TBC
Assassin's Creed Hexe
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 2025 and beyond for this one.
Assassin's Creed Infinity
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.
Cities Skylines 2
Developer: Colossal Order
Publisher: Paradox
Release date: TBC
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.
Dune Awakening
Developer: Funcom
Publisher: Funcom
Release date: TBC
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.
Dying Light: The Beast
Developer: Techland
Publisher: Techland
Release date: TBC
Kyle Crane is making a comeback in the new game Dying Light: The Beast. Revealed during Gamescom 2024, this is the first new entry in the iconic horror franchise since 2022’s Dying Light 2. It originally started as a DLC for said game before morphing into a standalone title. From the game’s trailer, we know that players will control a super-powered Crane (who has been infected with zombie DNA) as he sets out on a quest for revenge. Currently, there is no release date for the upcoming horror game, but we suspect that it will be with us sometime in 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
Elder Scrolls 6
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios
Publisher: Bethesda
Release date: TBC
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).
Fairgames
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.
Marathon
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.
Marvel's Wolverine
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.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Remake
Developer: In-house
Publisher: Konami
Release date: TBC
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.
New Mass Effect
Developer: BioWare
Publisher: EA
Release date: TBC
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.
Phantom Blade 0
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.
Pragmata
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Release date: TBC
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.
Project 007
Developer: IO Interactive
Publisher: IO Interactive
Release date: TBC
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.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake
Developer: Aspyr
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment and Lucasfilms Games
Release date: TBC

Aspyr and Sony Interactive Entertainment are working with Lucasfilm Games to rebuild the classic adventure, which promises to bring KOTOR to a new generation with "modern tech, features, visuals, and more, while maintaining the integrity of the story and characters" so many have come to love.
Sword of the Sea
Developer: Giant Squid

Ever wondered whether Journey would be massively improved with a sword? Well, that's what Sword of the Sea looks to be offering. Developed alongside former Thatgamecompany artist, who helped shape the iconic look of indies like Flow, Flower, and Journey, this beautiful indie looks set to put a focus on exploration and free-flowing navigation, with your armament used not only for defense but hyperkinetic sand-surfing too. Sword of the Sea honestly looks like a real delight, and one we can't wait to see more of.
