Sony announced two weeks ago that the PlayStation 5 Pro would be arriving this year, and now they’ve held a State of Play event after May to show what the turbocharged console will be capable of. As it turns out, not much, but rumors have been circulating in the past few weeks, and in addition to the remastered Horizon Zero Dawn, which until then seemed completely pointless, at least a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei, has also been revealed to be coming next year.
Sony had big launches this year like the unofficial PS5 exclusive Black Myth: Wukong, the unexpectedly successful but enthusiastically released Astro Bot and Stellar Blade, and the unexpectedly successful Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth in May, and then the failure of Concord, two weeks after its release, left a deep mark on their year. The PS5 Pro announcement also made it clear that in the current generation of consoles there were few titles worth buying a console for that had already been released or were coming soon to PS4.
For this reason, it was particularly interesting to see what they would flash on Tuesday night, and if you look at Ghost of Yōtei alone, it's easy to say they exceeded expectations.
In the first game, Sucker Punch created a masterpiece by most standards that the Japanese loved so much that they made the creators ambassadors for Cosima. So, yes, the new part is absolutely destined for success, and based on the first trailer, it does not disappoint. The game takes place hundreds of years after the first part in Hokkaido, around Mount Gotei, and the protagonist will be a female samurai named Acu. Yes, there were female samurai, but since this game is not produced by Ubisoft, the anti-awakening group has been a little upset about that so far.
It was first shown in rather interesting ads. New ArcheAge gameWhich will be called Chronicles and will come next year, In Dragon Age: Veil They showed a wizard fighting a dragon, proving once again that the new combat system looks pretty good. How to play Hell Is Uswhich is a bit reminiscent of Returnal, only without the shooting, a release date has been set for the old Final Fantasy game written by Hironobu Szakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, The new imaginary dimension What the city builder will look like in the open world has been revealed.

In addition, they showed again Lego Horizon AdventuresThere's a trailer for the new DLC for Alan Wake 2, and it's got a new trailer. Warriors family next yearA trailer came out that reminded us of the horrors of the PS1. for fear of lights.One on the virtual reality front. Hitman PS VR2 Game Which is coming soon Metro wake up run, and The Midnight Walk, which will also be playable in a traditional format and is a bit reminiscent of The Neverhood. There was a bit again Monster Hunter Wildsran with a trailer In the world For PS5, it contained two downloadable content (DLC), including the content that brought Nier 2B to Stellar Blade.
There were also recasting devices here. My Soul Reaver game and JRPG game called Lunar It was also entirely understandable, based on the rumors of the past few weeks, that the remastered version of Horizon Zero Dawn, which could be purchased for cash before the presentation, was not really there, although Sony apparently intended this to be another big bang. Thus, the game is said to look as good as the second part that came out two years ago, and will take full advantage of the PS5’s power, with re-recorded dialogue and movements added to the experience.
If someone has the original game, they can upgrade to the better version for a few thousand forints, but the question still arises, why was it necessary to remaster a seven-year-old game that still looks quite acceptable? Sony has already made interesting decisions regarding remasters – just think of how many times The Last of Us was completely remastered unnecessarily – but this seems incomprehensible, while the famous series is stuck in the PS3 prison. Of course, this is much cheaper and safer than rethinking and/or reviving an old series, but no one in the world will buy a console because of this.
