The five best game reveals at the PlayStation 5 event

Today, Sony unveiled a slew of games arriving to the PlayStation 5 with their Future of Gaming event. With a mixture of indie and third-party titles, the lineup of games arriving to the console is impressive. We look at five games that stood out above the crowd during this 60+ minute presentation.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Nearly two years after the release of Spider-Man, fans have been wondering if a sequel would be in the works. Thankfully, Insomniac Games delivered big time with the announcement of Spider-Man: Miles Morales. In the game, Morales gets to fight crime in the Big Apple. The game will be released in late 2020.

Stray

Developed by BlueTwelve Studio, Stray finds players roaming the streets as a stray cat. This cute feline is on the hunt to find a way out, and they’re doing it with the aid of a flying drone named B12. The game will arrive on the PlayStation 5 sometime in 2021.

Resident Evil 8: Village

Resident Evil 8: Village is the next installment in the beloved Resident Evil franchise. In the game, Ethan Winters finds himself in a new horrific landscape thanks to Chris Redfield. The trailer begins with the sentence “His story comes to a close,” so this could mean the end for either Redfield or Winters. The game will find its way on the PlayStation 5 in 2021.

Bugsnax

From the developers of Octodad, Bugsnax finds the player inhabiting a world where creatures are made from food. There’s not much is known about this title, but it’s easily one of the most colorful games featured in the presentation. Also, you might find yourself humming the Bugsnax song, which is performed by British indie pop group Kero Kero Bonito, after viewing the trailer. Bugsnax will arrive on the PlayStation 5 in late 2020.

Deathloop

Developed by Arkane Lyon, Deathloop lets players control assassins Colt and Julianna. Colt’s main job is to take down eight individuals, but there’s a catch. Each time Colt dies, the character goes back to the beginning in a time loop. Julianna’s mission is to prevent Colt from breaking the time loop. This can be played with two people for a cat-and-mouse game or you can choose to play solo as Colt. Deathloop will arrive on the PlayStation 5 in late 2020.
