Guide: Upcoming PS4 Games in 2018

And to think 2017 looked packed...

I didn't like having money anyways.

Another great year on PS4. I wonder if Medievil and Psychonauts 2 will be released next year too.

So many exclusives coming to PS4, can't wait for all of them. ^^

Next year does have a lot of promise. I just wish I knew how good some of these games will actually be, like Vampyr. It has potential to either be absolutely amazing, or really bad and cringy.

A lot of these are maybes for me, except RDR2, Spiderman and Shenmue 3.

You forgot KH3!

There's a lot of big names here. 2018 looks to be another great year for gaming.

I hope Jurassic World ends up being good. I love a good park simulator and I like the semi-futuristic looks of the films. Too bad the film itself was a giant turd. I wouldn't mind making my own park though.

"Um, hey there corporate machine? May I get a raise?"
"Why do you deserve more money?"
"Haven't you seen the list of PS4 games for 2018? Quality of life!"

Good gravy! That's a lot of amazing looking games... thank you for the list.

Wowzers, there are 21 games in that list that I'm looking forward to. The crazy release schedule of 2017 will continue into 2018. Game on homies!

I am definitely almost getting all games in 2018

RDR 2
Days Gone
God of War
Detroit Become Human
Spider-Man
Skull and Bones
Biomutants
UFC 3
Ni No Kuni 2
Farcry 5
Metro Exodus
Darksiders 3
Shenmue 3
MLB 18 the show
Anthem : maybe not
A Way Out : maybe not
Metal Gear Survive : absolutely not
ACE Combat 7 : Nah
Code Vein : Maybe
Vampry : yeah getting it tho

I'd say 2018 will be a pretty good year, provided many of these don't get delayed into next year. Here's hoping......

A Way Out should be bought just for the legend that is the developer.

Knights and bikes!!!! Cant wait!

Wow 😮. Thanks for this nice concise summary. Many of these I hadn’t heard of really, or just didn’t know enough about for them to register with me. Now I’m fully pumped!

I struggled to find 10 games I want in this list. I ended up on 6 - Anthem (Although if EA continue making big Mistakes, I may well change my mind), Metro:Exodus, Spider-Man, Days Gone, Strange Brigade and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Far too many Japanese games for my tastes.

Games like God of War, Vampyre and Far Cry 5 are 'maybe's' - if they review well and catch my attention around release...

@get2sammyb That's probably true. It's the same people who made Life is Strange, correct? If so, it should be pretty decent, at least.

@BAMozzy )

Dissidia, Soul Calibur and Dragon Quests are the big ones for the PS4 next year. I'm currently fanboying so hard over the Switch that I'm buying all of the "lesser" releases on that console just out of preference, but I'm sure the PS4 will have plenty of use again once those games come out. There are few games coming for the 3DS as well but I surmise it will be the last year of relevancy for that system.

Kingdom Hearts 3 left off another 2018 list. I’m starting to suspect that you guys don’t think it will make it this year

How many are exclusives btw just wondering

Awesome list and so many games to look forward to! I'll probably add more titles over time, but here are the games I'm currently planning to pick up:

Monster Hunter World
Mega Man 11
Code Vein
Darksiders III
Anthem
Metro Exodus
Kingdown Hearts III
Shadow of the Tomb Raider (given it releases next year)
God of War
Spiderman

@Derpie1 I believe there are 22 PS4 exclusives on this list, including console exclusives (also on PC).

@ShogunRok thanks!

Not a great time to NOT be a fan of RPGs. More than half of them are god damn RPGs. smh

So. Many. Games. I'm impressed at how Japanese games have come back in a big way. Big Western publishers seem to be making less games though.

Can't wait to play God of War, Ni No Kuni 2, Spiderman, Dragon Quest 11 (and Builders 2 if localised this year), Far Cry 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3!

Am I the first one to mention the P3 and P5 dancing games? Man I can’t wait for some more rhythm awesomeness. The soundtracks are gonna be incredible. Y’all can have the rest, I’ll be fine with those two

gulp 2018 is full of too many good games.

Awesome article, lots to look forward too.

To be honest, I have enough of a backlog from 2017 to keep me busy for the next 12 months however, I think am genuinely addicted to buying new games, even when I know they are going to sit on my shelf as part of the collection......I need help!

@Lovespuds If you find help for your addiction, let me know. I need it too.

Most looking forward to Monster Hunter World, Detroit: Become Human, and Vampyr.
Tennis World Tour is looking really tempting though, considering the last tennis games I played were Virtua Tennis 4 and Top Spin 4.

Ace combat!

Monster Hunter
Dynasty Warriors 9
Dragon Quest
Ace Combat
... too many game to play

I'm really worried about "Detroit" bro
I know Cage always delivers, but it's scary af.

There's not really many there that would be immediate buys for me except Red Dead Redemption 2, Dragon Quest XI and Detroit. It's time to catch up on the quality games I missed from 2017.

This list is too much, I think it's better to separate it by exclusives and 3rd party

My must have game / day one buy is:

Monster Hunter: World
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Shadow of the Colossus
Dragon's Crown Pro
Dreams
God of War
Spider-Man
Detroit: Become Human
Days Gone
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Mega Man 11
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Shenmue III (already back it on kickstarter)

If the reviews good I'll buy:

Dissidia Final Fantasy NT (If the single player is good)
Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
ANTHEM (If the single player is good)
Darksiders III
Fist of the North Star
Knights and Bikes
Red Dead Redemption 2 (Probably like gta v, bought it, play it for a couple of hour, and put it in backlog. Probably buy it again if there's ps5 remaster)
SoulCalibur VI (please have normal arcade single player mode with opening and ending for all character, no weird single player gimmick)
Vampyr

@Retro88 It's paris games show gameplay demo is solid, I wouldn't worry about the game

So many good games but there's no actual release date for the majority of them, yet.:/

@mookysam Totally forgotten about Dragon Quest Builders 2. Apparently, Switch's getting a localised version in February?

And gal gun 2
and omega labyrinth Z
and bullet girls phantasia
and girl & panzer: dream tank match
and little witch academia

all slated for Q1 and Q2 of this year.

@WanderingBullet switch is getting the first DQ builders in Feb. No word yet on 2 coming to the west for the switch.

I want to buy it in Feb, but I really don't need it and I have too much in my backlog for switch and PS4 so, I've decided, I'm not buying any new games in 2018. I've enough to keep me going for a few years tbh.

But, if DQ Builders 2 comes to the Switch, I'll bite 😁

@readyletsgo Oh, thanks for clarifying. I thought it was DQ Builders 2.

@WanderingBullet yeah I thought the same for a while too

So, is it considered a sickness to have, and more importantly want, more games than you physically have time to play?? I literally have the time to get through maybe 3-4 really good games per year (ie. Horizon, Witcher, etc.). Add to that, that I literally have 6 or 7 games that are on my bookshelf waiting to be played (ie. Last Guardian, FFXIV, Resident Evil, etc.) and I read this list and could easily see picking up at least 8-10 game on this list!!

Well, isn't the first step admitting that I have a problem?? GULP!

@porhawj2016 Busy year this is the first generaties that i have to sell games for the the space and money. 😂

@Observer0 Im done playing when the PS6 releases. 😋

@wiiware Please stop it im done i dont have any more time.

Without a doubt God Of War 4 and Spider-Man are gonna be the two best this year and also sell the most out of all the Exclusives. Look at this Awesome list of Exclusives for PS4/Pro over the next 2 years, Dreams, Days Gone, MLB The Show, Detroit Become Human, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man, God of War 4, Shenmue 3, Yakuza 6, Left Alive, Wild, Shadow Of Colossus, Death Stranding and The Last Of Us 2. We’ll find out how true that Devil May Cry 5 rumor being Console Exclusive on PS4 later this year.

Jeeze I'm still half catching up with 2015!!! Got to add dark souls remastered to that list too!!! Really looking forward to red dead 2, days gone and God of war 😁
