It’s almost been a year since the PS5 has been announced. In that time, PlayStation fans have been waiting patiently for the first big games. Well, it would appear that moment has finally arrived thanks to the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. This Showcase really did not disappoint in any shape or form. The lineup heading into 2022 and 2023 is, frankly, huge.
We’ll run you through every game that was announced, starting with the big players.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
It’s hard to imagine a more anticipated sequel than that of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man was a raging success. Both for the company and fans. The game was terrific, packed with fun and a strong and engaging storyline. Then we received Miles Morales, which I reviewed and noted that it was one of the most fun games I’ve ever played.
So, basically, they were 2 for 2.
That leaves us in a highly anticipated position heading into the Marvel’s Spider-Man sequel.
From the looks of the trailer, it would appear that we’ll be playing as both Peter Parker’s, Spider-Man, and Miles Morales’, Spider-Man. That’s a combo I can get behind.
At the end of the trailer, Venom made a very welcome appearance. This is leading us all to think that he will be our big bad for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Bring it on!
God of War: Ragnarok
Well, I just said they’re unlikely to be a more anticipated sequel than Marvel’s Spider-Man, but I may instantly be wrong.
God of War was an insane game that reached Game of the Year (GOTY) levels when it released in 2018. God of War released on the PS4 and was praised for its incredible graphics, immersive storyline and wonderful voice acting. To think we’re receiving the sequel on the highly capable next-gen consoles is truly awesome.
Check out the extended, and action packed, God of War: Ragnarok trailer above.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Remake)
This is something that has been teased for years and years. Star Wars gaming fans have long considered Knights of the Old Republic to be the best Star Wars game of all-time. Whether or not you agree, It’s hard to argue the games immense quality. The original had a terrific storyline, and featured turn by turn gameplay.
It’s not yet known how closely they will stick to the source material with this remake. The word remake, as opposed to remaster, has me believing we will see some changing in gameplay mechanics. Either way, this is one that’s got me fist pumping.
The trailer is only brief and features no gameplay action, but still, you know you want to watch.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Sony gave us the quickest of glimpses of what could be one of the most exciting future projects yet, Marvel’s Wolverine. The game will be developed by the same people who brought us Marvel’s Spider-Man. Insomniac Games, also famous for Ratchet and Clank, are set to embark on the next solo superhero franchise.
I don’t know about you, but the thought of being Wolverine, running around the streets, getting into bar fights, unleashing those adamantium claws, is en
