Everything Announced At The September 2024 PlayStation State Of Play

Featuring updates on over 20 games!

It feels like only yesterday that Sony announced the PlayStation 5 Pro, but it’s been almost two weeks, and one question remains: Where are the games? Sony seeked to answer that question (kind of) with this weeks State of Play, which was slated to give updates on over 20 games for both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR2 from around the world.

They delivered on their promise, so, without further adieu, here’s what Sony announced at their September 2024 State of Play.

The Ghosts Of Tsushima Sequel Was Finally Revealed

The trailer featured the same strong and stylish visuals that we have come to expect after playing the original game. It’s called Ghost of Yotei and it’s out in 2025.

Horizon: Zero Dawn Is Being Remastered For PlayStation 5 and PC

It’s out on October 31st. It will feature a similar upgrade deal to what The Last Of Us Part 2: Remastered had which is nice since you can grab the original for like $14 from a retailer.

The Show Opened With The First Content Drop For Astro Bot

The update is free and will include five new online speedrun levels and ten new bots to rescue, including characters from Helldivers and Eve from Stell Blade, though the Eve Astro Bot already has more personality than the actual Eve. The update is out later this year.

The Midnight Walk Is A Brand New Puzzle Platformer That Includes VR2 Support Too

From the developers of Lost In Random, it’s a game that’s been made entirely out of clay. It’s playable on the PS5 but also has full support for PSVR2.

We Got Our First Proper Look At Gameplay Of Hell Is Us

The game looks like yet another Dark Souls clone albeit with some more involved puzzles and strange faceless men. Spooky.

The Metro 2033 VR Game Is Coming Along Nicely And Out Pretty Soon

The game is really well suited to VR, having you navigate the claustrophobic and dark tunnels of Russia. It’s out on November 7th and it’s called Metro Awakening VR.

A Sequel To Archeage Was Announced And It’s Imaginatively Titled Archeage Chronicles

 

The game is an online action RPG that’s set fifty years after the original. We’ve pivoted from Dark Souls clones to God of War reboot clones now. Dynamic. It’s out in 2025.

Palworld Is Coming To PlayStation And It’s Maybe Even Sooner Than You Think

The trailer looked pretty rough, as does the rest of the game so many months on, but it’s out on PS5 today.

The Two Lunar RPGs Are Being Remastered For New Consoles

The collection brings together LUNAR: Silver Star Story Complete and LUNAR 2: Eternal Blue Complete along with the usual remastered bells and trimmings – improved visuals, audio and quality of life improvements.

A Free Update For Shredder’s Revenge Is Out Today And Adds New Characters

The update adds Mona Lisa and Mondo Gecko as playable characters. It’s out today and it is free too. And there’s a nice addition of remixed tracks from guest artists too.

The Fantasian Enhanced Port Finally Has A Release Date

The game is a fundamental revamp of the original Fantasian, which was initially only available for Apple Arcade. It has a unique visual style built from photographs of real miniatures, which is cool. It’s out on December 5th.

Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Getting A Movie Pack With Keanu Reeves

The pack includes levels based on key moments from the upcoming Sonic 3 film and they even got Keanu Reeves in to spit some lines for Shadow too. It’s out on December 12th but it’s included with the digital deluxe edition.

We Got An Extended Look At Dragon Age: The Veilguard

The game is a different direction for the series but I think I’m still keen for it. Perhaps. It’s still on track for October 31st.

We Got Our First Trailer For The Final Alan Wake 2 DLC

The DLC looks to be firmly leaning into the horror angle, as expected, and will be more substantial than the Night Falls DLC. You also play as Estevez, played by Janina Gavankar, which was cool but also expected as well. It’s out in October.

We Got Our First Look At The Newest Hitman Trilogy On PlayStation VR2

It’s out in December and includes all the content from HITMAN, HITMAN 2, HITMAN 3 and full dual wielding.

Both The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Games Are Getting The Remaster Treatment

A Release Date For Fear The Spotlight Was Revealed

It’s out on October 22nd and will be the first in a batch of many games coming from Blumhouse. It’s a horror game that uses a similar style to older PS1 games.

Towers Of Aghasba Is A Video Game

It’s entering early access on PlayStation 5 in November 2024. It’s an action-adventure game with building elements, an incredibly underserviced genre.

LEGO Fortnite Is Getting Splitscreen Co-Op AND A Fancy New Dualsense

Pre-orders will open on October 3rd.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins Now Has A Release Date

It’s hard to tell, but I think the game is scrapping the overworld from the last game. It looks better than previous Dynasty Warrior games but I don’t think it looks particularly different either. Its out on January 17th.

Monster Hunter Wilds Got Yet Another Trailer And A Release Date, Finally.

It’s looking good if not a bit choppy. I like Snow. It’s out on February 28th which is exciting because now Capcom can do something else after that.

LEGO Horizon Adventures Has A Release Date

The trailer showed us a bit more of the adventure as well as the weird rollercoaster you get when you buy the digital deluxe edition. And costumes based on other PlayStation brands, which is cute. It’s out on November 14th.

A Stellar Blade Update Is Coming

Continuing the trend of adding substantial and insightful content to the game, you’ll be able to take photos of Eve in the new photo mode. There’s also gear from NieR Automata being added to the game later this year.

Three New DualSense Colours And Console Covers Were Announced

The collection is called the Chroma Collection and is comprised of Indigo, White and Teal colourways. Preorders open October 3rd.
