The State of Play also revealed a host of release dates, including Sega’s Shinobi: Art Of Vengeance on August 29; Borderlands 4 on September 23 (with the threat of a dedicated State of Play this spring); The Dark Pictures Anthology: Directive 8020 on October 2; and Five Nights At Freddy’s: Secret Of The Mimic on June 13.
Sony’s State of Play showcases – their equivalent of a Nintendo Direct – have been consistently disappointing affairs for the last several years, but Wednesday night’s one was actually pretty good, with a number of previously unseen games, and release dates for already announced ones.
One of the bigger surprises of the night, but not necessarily the most exciting, was the reveal of Days Gone Remastered, which Sony seems to be putting a lot of effort into, with new game modes, including permadeath and Horde Assault, and larger groups of zombies on the PlayStation 5.
The ultra creepy looking stop motion horror game The Midnight Walk arrives on May 8; the already leaked Metal Gear Solid Delta on August 28; Dark Souls-ish action adventure Hell Is Us on September 4; and sci-fi shooter Metal Eden on May 6.
Strangely, Capcom chose to release a new trailer for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword during the State of Play, rather than at their own event earlier in the week, but it looked promising, with an interesting main character who seems like a bit of a coward.
