Sony State of Play: Ghost of Yotei and Everything Announced for PS5 and PSVR 2

For an event that was only announced on Monday, Sony held a State of Play presentation on Tuesday, packed with trailers. Many of them were for games we haven’t seen before, including a dramatic teaser for the Ghost of Tsushima sequel, Ghost of Yotei.

A series of trailers have revealed gameplay footage from highly anticipated games such as Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Monster Hunter Wilds, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and VR game Hitman: World of Assassination.

Trailers for multiple updates to current games were also shown, including new free content for Astro Bot, the final DLC for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and the second and final DLC for Alan Wake II.

Sony has added another batch of games to its lineup for its upcoming PS5 Pro console, including some recently revealed titles that will receive improved graphics from the new console, such as Dragon’s Dogma 2, The Crew Motorfest, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

In between the new game trailers, the new Chrome console and DualSense controller covers for PS5 were revealed, which come in three colors: teal, indigo, and pearl. They’re available for pre-order starting October 3.

And now, without further ado, let’s get down to all the game trailers revealed at Sony State of Play.
