Feature: 10 Promising PS4 Games We Want to Know More About

While we've been eager to spotlight dozens of the PlayStation 4 games that we're excited for over the past few weeks, there are many more that we know next to nothing about. In this article, we've pulled together ten upcoming outings that are in-development but under-detailed. These are titles that have been kept under wraps by their respective developers since being revealed, and while their concepts have caught our attention, we want to know more about them all.

Cyberpunk 2077

After the triumph that is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, all eyes are on Polish developer CD Projekt Red, and we already know what the studio's next project is: Cyberpunk 2077. All that we've seen of the game so far is one incredibly slick CG trailer, and we don't anticipate seeing much more until later this year at the earliest – especially seeing as Wild Hunt's second and final expansion doesn't have a launch date yet. Even so, we can't wait to see what this infectiously passionate developer is cooking up. Whether it turns out to be a role-playing shooter or something a little more unorthodox, we know that it's going to be big.

Detroit: Become Human

David Cage is dipping back into the sci-fi well with Detroit: Become Human, a title aiming to extend the story of its cinematic Kara short from a few years back. We know that racial tensions are going to play a part in this dystopian drama, but the pressure's on Quantic Dream after Beyond: Two Souls' narrative inconsistences. Thus, we want to see how the Parisian developer's responded to that criticism, and also whether it intends to add a little more cause and effect to its story in the wake of highly variable interactive adventures like Until Dawn.

Dragon Quest XI

Dragon Quest XI is still in early development, but we're confident that this latest entry in Square Enix's now legendary franchise will live up to the name. The jump to PS4 should make for a thoroughly impressive fantasy world, and we're eager to see some more recent footage of the project. Deep down, though, we're just excited by the prospect of a more traditional JRPG with a big budget. Given that the last mainline Dragon Quest title to release on a PlayStation platform was Dragon Quest VIII back on the PlayStation 2, this is a reunion that's ridiculously overdue.

Gran Turismo Sport

With the PS4 practically on fire in Europe, the suits at the soon-to-be-renamed SCEE will be gleefully eyeing the Gran Turismo game in their upcoming exclusives portfolio. But while Sport stands to be a stupendous commercial smash, the company's being curiously quiet about the Car-PG following its initial unveiling at Paris Games Week. There are legitimate concerns, then, that this could turn out to be another Gran Turismo 5: inconsistent and overdue. We want Polyphony Digital to dampen that speculation with a big blowout – and soon.

Mass Effect Andromeda

A disappointingly vague CG teaser trailer and a bunch of tedious BioWare tweets are all that we've got to go on when it comes to Mass Effect Andromeda, but the franchise's legacy is more than enough to inspire excitement for this new-gen instalment. With Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Canadian developer proved that it could expand the scope of its games without sacrificing their core role-playing elements. As such, we're hoping that Andromeda will iron out the wrinkles in this formula and produce an intergalactic adventure worthy of Commander Shepard's memory. We just really, really need a big gameplay blowout as soon as possible.

NieR Automata

No doubt one of the more niche titles on this list, NieR Automata is a sequel to PlayStation 3 cult classic NieR. Unless you're a fan of the original, we suppose that most people won't quite know what to expect from this follow-up – but that may not even matter. As it turns out, this stylish looking release is being developed by Platinum Games, which is almost a guarantee that the sword-swinging action will be absolutely mental in the best possible way. With that in mind, we wouldn't say no to a more in-depth look at what else the title has to offer.

Ni-Oh

If "it looks like Bloodborne with samurai" isn't enough to grab your attention, then we don't know what is. Being developed by Team Ninja, this could end up being a real return to form for the Japanese studio that once graced us with the largely brilliant Ninja Gaiden series. We expect brutal difficulty and plenty of style mixed in with some superbly satisfying combat, and we'd probably salivate over the thought of seeing an extended gameplay demo.

RIME

RIME's initial unveiling all the way back in the hazy days of 2013 filled a Team ICO-shaped void in the PS4's line-up, but developer Tequila Works may have taken a little too much inspiration from Fumito Ueda and crew. It's been years since we last saw this title, and it's currently looking likely that The Last Guardian will release first. As such, there's only one question we want answered here: what the hell is going on with this promising release, and will we ever actually get to play it?

Shenmue III

The jewel in the crown of Sony's stunning E3 2015 showcase, Shenmue III is finally in development – and now it's down to Yu Suzuki and his team to deliver. There's a strange undercurrent surrounding this project – it's almost like some spiteful folk are willing it to fail. With a shoestring budget and big pressure on developer Ys Net's shoulders, those mean-spirited few may yet get their wish. But as long as the game speaks to the fans who've waited so patiently for the next entry in Ryo Hazuki's story, then it'll be a success. And pleasing those eager individuals should be the studio's mantra right now.

Vampyr

From sci-fi to teen drama to Victorian horror – DONTNOD's clearly not a developer content with recycling the same ideas over and over again. Despite being announced eons ago, we're still yet to get our first proper glimpse of Gothic role-playing release Vampyr, but with a gameplay loop that promises to leave you pondering each fleshy feast that you devour, we want to actually see this vampiric adventure in action to understand how it's all going to work.
