PlayStation’s JanuaryState Of Play streamwas chock full of big game announcements, including deep dives onDeath Stranding 2, two Silent Hill games, Rise Of The Ronin and loads more stuff that will almost certainly be heading to PC at some point down the line. Because let’s face it. Everything PlayStation comes to PC eventually. We just have a wait a couple of years for it. Just look at former exclusiveHorizon Forbidden West, which ishitting PC on March 21st. That wasn’t in tonight’s showcase, of course, so let’s take a look at everything that was. Start those PC countdown timers now, folks, because it’s only a matter of time.Stellar Blade got a big chunky gameplay breakdownStellar Blade - Pre-Order Trailer | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeThe first big reveal in January’s State Of Play was a nice long look at the upcoming third-person action gameStellar Blade. It’s currently a PS5 exclusive for now, but you never know, it will probably come to PC atsomepoint, won’t it? In the hope that it will, the trailer goes into detail about the game’s story, setup and underground setting, as well as the stylish swordplay you’ll be getting to grips with playing as Eve, who’s also known as The Angel to her fellow survivors. Hopefully you won’t end up chopping off your exceedingly long ponytail in the process, either. As you trek up to the wasteland above to fulfil quests, there are big biomechanical nasties to fight, regular mechanical nasties to fight, just… lots of horrible nasties, really. It’s coming to PS5 on April 6th, which probably means we’ll be playing it in…ooh, three years time?Sonic x Shadow Generations announcedSonic X Shadow Generations - Announce Trailer | PS5 & PS4 GamesWatch on YouTubeJust a quick trailer this one, but if you’ve been after more 2D Sonic adventures, only this time with bad hod Shadow in tow, well, this is theSonic Generationsexpansion for you. It’s coming in Autumn later this year.Silent Hill: The Short Message is free and available now (on PS5)Silent Hill: The Short Message - Launch Trailer | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeJust when you thought we’d get a new look atSilent Hill 2, here comes another, completely different Silent Hill game. Playing out in first-person, you’ll be using your phone torch to light the way along increasingly weird and creepy corridors. The excessive post-it notes covering the walls actually makes it look quite like the Silent Hill screenshots that wereleakeda while ago, too, so I’m somewhat glad we finally know what they’re related to now. It’s currently unclear how its free to play structure comes in, but hey, you can go try it out for yourself if you like, as it’s available to download on PS5 right now.Silent Hill 2 gets another little gameplay trailerSilent Hill 2 - Combat Reveal Trailer | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeAh, now here’s the good stuff. Yep, that sure looks like Silent Hill 2 all right. With a mournful piano score and lots of horrible meat monsters to smack, oh man, I’d sort of forgotten how horrifying this game is, you know? So many torsos with four legs coming out of them, man alive. No thank you.Ken Levine’s Judas sure looks like that System Shock underwater game in spaceJudas - Story Trailer | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeBefore tonight, Judas was more or less just a name and a logo, but this brand-new gameplay trailer provides our first proper look at the next game from Ken Levine’s new studio, Ghost Story Games. And yep, it sure looks like Bioshock in space, doesn’t it? Surely that means it’s also System Shock in space, given that Bioshock was System Shock underwater? In any case, it looks like there will be plenty of mechanical baddies to punch, though the tagline also suggests we’ll be “fixing what [we] broke”, too. Will it involve sacrificing small children to whoever the lady on the big screen is? I guess we’ll find out next year sometime.Metro Awakening VR looks too scary for my bloodMetro Awakening - Reveal Trailer | PS VR2 GamesWatch on YouTubeThis is currently only slated for PSV2, but here’s hoping for a full PC VR release as well, eh? In any case, this is a new Metro adventure for virtual reality headsets, and cor, the thought of navigating those tunnels from inside a pair of VR goggles? Brr, I’m not sure I’m cut out that for kind of pressure.Rise Of The Ronin gets a big deepdive trailerRise of the Ronin - Gameplay Overview | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeAnother one that’s still PS5 only at the moment, but let’s face it, all PlayStation games come to PC eventually these days, so there’s probably a good chance we’ll be playing Rise Of The Ronin at some point in the not too distant future. In any case, this samurai adventure looks like a more urban Ghost Of Tsushima with its historical Bakumatsu-inspired setting, grapple hook and, wait a second, are those paper gliding wings? Colour me intrigued. I just hope I won’t be truly rubbish at its considered, parry-based combat, because those giant claw lads look very nasty indeed. I suppose there’s always those handguns to try out instead… it’s coming to PS5 on March 22nd, but it will naturally be a while yet if and when it comes to PC.Death Stranding 2 gets really freaky, and nope, even I don’t know what’s going on hereDeath Stranding 2 On The Beach - State of Play Announce Trailer | PS5 GamesWatch on YouTubeYep, Death Stranding 2 is officially called Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, and nope, I have absolutely no idea what’s going on here. You better just watch the trailer for this one. There’s… a lot to take in. Sam and Fragile appear to be old and monochrome now? Or at least for a bit. They appear to be playable during different periods of their lives in this bafflingly brilliant-looking sequel to the BB Boys' journey. Regardless, Fragile appears to have acquired a pair of weird, sentient blue hands that can light cigarettes for her now, which is a whole thing I don’t even know where to begin with. A ship known as The Drawbridge appears to be your case of operations in this game - complete with a shower, of course - but it also looks like you’ll be travelling to Mexico to connect it up to the UCA, just like you did for America in the first game.But don’t even get me started on the strange stopmotion talking puppet. Your guess is as good as mine. Same goes for Elle Fanning’s character, who’s being all shifty and sneaky toward the end. Troy Baker is back, too, the joy, right in the middle of his Joker phase. So like I said, it’s a lot. And quite confusing. Might need to sit and ruminate on this one for a while so I can figure out what the heck I’ve just seen. At least I’ll have plenty of time, as it’s coming in 2025, hopefully to PC at the same time as PS5, but we’ll have to wait and see.Hideo Kojima also teases a new action espionage game that’s maybe called PhysintPhysint - Hideo Kojima returns to the action-espionage genre | PlayStationWatch on YouTubeRight at the end of the Death Stranding 2 trailer, Kojima came onscreen to tease another new game he’s working on - a brand-new IP that promises to be a next-gen action espionage game. It still sounds quite early on in development - he said production will begin in earnest once Death Stranding 2 is complete, so it’s likely still several years away yet - and it might also extend to films and TV shows, too. Then again, Kojima also teased it’s “an interactive game” that’s “also a movie at the same time in terms of look, story, theme, cast, acting, fashion and sound,” so who knows, basically. Whatever it is, Kojima hopes it will “transcend the barriers between film and video games”. Yeah, all right Kojima, like we haven’t heardthatchestnut before, eh?
