Everything We Saw in September 2024’s State of Play

[ad_1]

September’s PlayStation State of Play featured 20 new games for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2, including some of the most anticipated titles and some big announcements. Here’s everything we saw in September’s State of Play, as it happened.

Astrobot

The cutesy platformer that took the world by storm last month opened up the stream with the announcement of a new free DLC with five new online levels with speedrunning capabilities and ten new bots to rescue. The DLC drops later this year, with more on the way.

The Midnight Walk

This new game doesn’t just *look* like claymation, it actually *is* claymation. Ambitious? Yes. Burtonesque? Absolutely. The Midnight Walk is coming to PS5 and PSVR2.

Hell is Us

This one definitely looks interesting. Not much to go in in terms of storyline, but it appears to be some form of horror soulslike with fantasy elements set following some form of otherworldly war. Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Metro Awakening VR

The award winning post-apocalyptic franchise goes VR, with plenty of otherworldly threats as you search for a missing girl. Metro Awakening VR drops in November, so be prepared to scream yourself stupid.

Archeage Chronicles

A fantasy hack and slash that seems to take influence from a variety of sources. THere are characters who wouldn’t look out of place in Assassin’s Creed fighting alongside wizards, pirates, and classic barbarians. Archeage Chronicles drops in 2025.

Palworld

Palworld is coming to PS5! While it’s no secret that the game is making the journey, we can’t wait to see how the game will play on PS5 – and it launches today! Get ready to explore a whole new world of monsters and mischief.

Lunar Remastered Collection

Lunar Remastered Collection brings two classic PS1 RPG’s – Lunar: The Silver Star Story Complete and Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete – the the PS5 with enhanced graphics, widescreen mode, and more. Expect plenty of classic turn-based action when the game launches in Spring 2025.

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge

The classic arcade game came to PS5 some time ago, but there’s more to be excited for. THe Radical Reptiles DLC brings Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa to the game as playable characters, while the soundtrack has been remixed by guest composers. Both updates will be up later today.

Sonic X: Shadow Generations

Ahead of the release of the next Sonic the Hedgehog movie, a new update will bring movie star Keanu Reeves into the game as Shadow, reprising his role from the third Sonic the Hedgehog movie and reenacting scenes from the movie. This update to the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack arrives on December 12th, but don’t forget you can play the Movie Pack on October 25.

Fantasian Neo Dimension

THis one looks beautiful. It’s a turn-based RPG with handmade dioramas and a score by JRPG legend Nobuo Uematsu. There’s influence from a few different classic RPGs, so if you’re a fan of the genre this is definitely one to ask Santa for ahead of the December 5 release date.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The latest Dragon Age game drops on Halloween, and wouldn’t you know it? It looks awesome. Fans of the franchise know what to expect, but has the franchised ever looked this good? Well, considering the last entry was available on the PS5, no. This is definitely one we want our haptics for.

Alan Wake 2: The lake House

Alan Wake 2 is getting its physical release next month, but we have more to look forward to, namely the Lake House DLC. This new campaign puts players in the shoes of Control heroine Jesse as she explores the Lake House, an FBC facility in Bright Falls.

Hitman: World of Assassination

Assassination games scratch a sadistic itch in us. Maybe it’s the fact that we get to create the most over the top and contrived kills possible, or just shoot our way through the crowd if we want to. We just know that dropping a chandelier on our enemies never gets old. World of Assassination brings the action to the PSVR2 this December.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

Ooooh well isn’t this a pleasant surprise! Longtime gamers may well remember the Legacy of Kain series, particularly Soul Reaver – a post-apocalyptic vampire-themed game with fiendish puzzles and a world-shifting mechanic. Soul Reaver stars Raziel, a vampire/wraith combo out for revenge against his old friends and master. Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered drops on December 10.
