The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (PS4)
This is a brilliant idea: Supermassive Games, in collaboration with Bandai Namco, is following up the success of Until Dawn with a new brand named The Dark Pictures Anthology. Similarly to franchises like, say, Goosebumps, the line will consist of standalone, narrative-driven horror stories – and it'll begin next year with Man of Medan. The all-new tale will take place out in the ocean, as a team of hapless youngsters search an abandoned World War II ship. Exactly who makes it out alive is down to you.

Desperados III (PS4)
Mimimi Productions brought real-time stealth strategy to PS4 wonderfully with Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, and with the Desperados series serving as a major inspiration, having the team working on a full fledged sequel makes perfect sense. We've only seen a brief glimpse of gameplay so far, but this surprise announcement at Gamescom holds a lot of promise. If the developer can bring its brand of deep, tactical gameplay to the Old West, this should be a sure-fire winner.
Devil May Cry 5 (PS4)
First uncut gameplay footage? Check. Release date? Check. Dante in action? Check. Easily one of the biggest titles of Gamescom 2018, Devil May Cry 5 has held nothing back, and it looks more and more like a truly glorious return to Capcom's most metal franchise. Typically over-the-top and super slick, we can't wait to rack up some insane combos.
Life Is Strange 2 - Episode 1: Roads (PS4)
A departure from Arcadia Bay, Life Is Strange 2 introduces two brothers from Seattle: Sean and Daniel Diaz. But when tragic events transpire, the pair are forced to flee to Mexico. French developer DONTNOD is once again promising a hard-hitting relatable narrative, but it’s your decisions as the older sibling that will determine how your younger bro matures.
Metro Exodus (PS4)
Metro: Exodus is stepping out of the Russian underground and into the apocalyptic wilderness, as this horror-themed first-person shooter will see you traipsing across Eastern Europe as the seasons change around you. A large, customisable arsenal promises to make the combat the best it’s ever been, while moral decisions will affect the outcome of the plot.

We'll be updating this list throughout Gamescom 2018, so more games will be added over the course of the week!
I still wonder what’s Project Mephisto.
Many great games on the list that I’m interested already.
biomutent and shadows die twice for me.
i just hope that the latter does well despite the saltyness of dark souls fanboys/girls.
@bpomber was wondering the same thing
Gamescom > E3
by a mile!
Wait who is that chick on the right next to sekiro.
I certainly hope to see some Indie game coverage as well, there's lots of interesting stuff on the way on that front.
I like horror games, so I'll keep an eye on Dark Pictures Anthology and Close to the Sun.
biomutant.devil may cry.and sekiro wins.its a slaughter.word up son
@Hapuc that girl is fine❤💞💖💕💓💗💜💚.best looking woman ign ever had.one of the best looking woman ever wow.i was watching the gameplay of sekiro.but wow.i was distracted.by her beauty.that red outfit looks amazing on her also.shes a dimepiece playa.word up son
@Hapuc is virtual she doesn't exist. sad
Amazing. I am set for AAA games on PS4 till March 2019 now
Good times!
This is why I hate Sony. How can they do this to an avid gamer who’s also a father of 2 and works a full time job? Totally unfair!
@playstation1995 She is a cupcake, lol.
@Hapuc Closer to the Sun, going by the trailer, maybe.
@PS_Nation. cupcake what playa😱😂😬.word up son
And we still don't know what Project Mephisto is.
Man of medan, devil may cry 5 and re2 remake is my favorite gamescom games
Is Sony going to have a press conference there? I haven't heard anything about it, but admittedly I have skimmed over more articles. Lol.
ace combat, probably sekiro as well, maybe others later
@Bonbonetti same here.
@bpomber the delay was just confirmed. Though it seemed pretty likely it was gonna happen
So many great titles coming but what game is that third pic from? the girl with the headphones?
Still waiting eagerly to hear about "Project Mephisto" the working title.
Added a few more games.
@ronb44 Ace Combat 7.
AH........ SO MANY MORE GAMES TO JOIN MY NEVER ENDING LIST.
Definitely buying Sekiro, Dark Pictures Anthology, Call of Cthulhu, Twin Mirror, and the Sinking City. Close to the Sun, BioMutant and others have my interest, though, too!
Final update.
@NintendoFan4Lyf Supermassive has already been on record saying they wanted to go mulitplat a couple years ago.

Good thing is they can always make Until Dawn 2 down the line if they want to as well for Sony.
They really should have stuck to what worked for them after Until Dawn imo, the VR games didn't do that well, even Hidden Agenda while good put a few people off thanks to no controller support, playlink etc
@Cordeceps I'm pretty sure those projects were all commissioned by Sony. This is one of the things about being independent: you can't always do exactly what you want, because you have to find work to keep people in jobs.
Watched a little bit of the gameplay video and the character creation in Biomutant looks pretty impressive.
@AhmadSumadi I'm father of 3, bro. I know what you mean.
I will definitely buy both Call of Cthulhu and the Sinking City. It's been a silly long time since I last saw a Mythos game close to what you experience in the actual books. Both of these titles have this approach, of a narrative-driven immersive experience.
There's far too much misconception in the gaming media and the gaming community about the Mythos, by people who have never actually read any of Lovecraft's books.
Desperados III is also on my shopping list. I liked the older Desperados games on PC, especially 'Dead or Alive'. I loved laying 'Blades of the Shogun' on the PS4. So combining the two is a great thing.
