PS5 Placeholder Box Art for Returnal, Gran Turismo 7, and More Revealed

The box art of Returnal is brilliant.

Sackboy is my favorite out of all of them.

All of them are terrible except Sackboy.

The returnal cover look fire.

All 5 launch games yeah 😉

Gran Turismo 7! The day I get a PS5 coincides with the day GT7 launches 🙂

The sackboy one is stunning. The white bar at the top of the box is still taking some getting used to though

Alien is that you.returnal definitely looks like a alien movie.got that vibe from the box art.word up son

Man, demon soul's looks like bad render PS1/PS2 era.

I like all of them. I'll likely never buy destruction Allstars but it does look nice.

My money was on the new Z making the gt7 cover.

Demon's Souls is my favourite. Though I have to say, not a fan of the white header with any of these. It looks like someone took a blank piece of paper with a letter header on, you know, like if you get a letter from your bank and it says HSBC at the top or whatever, then printed a pic into the blank part.

They all look really good, especially with the white header.

@tameshiyaku I’d say you need glasses if you actually believe that. 🤣🤣

I'm no graphic designer... as all the graphic designers I know are exceedingly fond of telling me... but... The Sackboy one looks great, I kinda like the Returnal one too, the Demon's Souls one is poor in my opinion. Too much going on, but not really in a dynamic or expressive way... whereas the Destruction Allstars one has a lot going on but seems cohesive to me, there's dynamism but a story and reason for it...

But having said that I am a bit surprised that Destruction Allstars has any box art, I was under the impression it was going to be an online F2P game. Now I'm confused even more about the product... any way, if they're sending box art out, even as placeholders, these are launch window games.

Not bad, I quite like the Returnal, Demon Souls and Sackboy ones.
Didn't Polyphony put out a tweet asking which car they should use for the cover? Surely a Mazda and a Nissan did not win that particular poll!?!? It does say artwork not final so probably not.

Hi there fellow gamers. All of them look pretty good imo, especialy the Sackboy Big Adventure, Demon´s Souls and Returnal.
Man if they have all of this titles at launch of the system..... With GT7 as well as Spiderman: Miles Morales? It´s gonna be huge for PS5 and for all the fans, myself included.
Cheers, stay safe out there and happy gaming to us all

Not hugely fussed on any of them.

Returnal cover didn't tell me about the game at all. The destruction allstars cover is super bad, the lady looks like a snake with that long neck, the cover didn't needs human, just the cars is enough. Sackboy cover is pretty good. Demon's souls cover is great. Gran turismo cover is just placeholder.

@wiiware

You look at the back for the game info. Still my favorite one it looks awsome. I love all the broken helmets i think it looks great.

"Which of these placeholder box arts is your favourite?"

With those ugly out of place blue cases I say none. Starting with the PS2 I thought each system would get their own color.

Jewel case for PS1, black case for PS2, clear case for PS3, blue case for PS4 and...blue case for PS5 😒

@Matroska it would only look good if the case would be black.

They all look good except for demons souls. GT 7 will look really sexy on my shelf

@Juanalf probably the only reason the cases are blue are because the PS5 is Blu-ray, I guess Sony is trying to make sure the average buyer knows that. Or they're just lazy. Probably both.

The only cover art that appears to be official are Sackboy and Returnal. Sackboy's looks nice. Returnal's is kinda eh...

@Juanalf Blue case for Blu Rays, which Sony strongly supported with the PS3, and helped that format win as the next standard. The PS2 used the standard DVD case, basically.

All of them but GT7 look great. But GT covers always look generic anyways even if this isn't the official one.

@Flaming_Kaiser Returnal is about fighting monsters in ever changing alien world, right? I think the cover should reflect that, if I never seen the game trailers, I won't know what the game is about. I plan to get the games though since I like housemarque games (especially nex machina).

Sackboy is the king out of that lot.Love it!

@wiiware The bigger thing about it is the time loop she is stuck in. Thats why you see so many broken helmets. I think it looks clean but thats me.

The Returnal cover really gets across that the game is a rogue-like, and it looks awesome! I love Demon's Souls but even with all the action in that image it lacks soul. The charging guy looks like he's posing rather than charging.

@Juanalf agreed. been saying it since the ps5 cases were shown... the blue case is completely out of place with the white ps label. it is as if they took this route because it was cheaper and they had excessive stock of old blue cases, rather than give it some thought and make the best possible impression. with the white label element, they would have been better off with a white case for cohesiveness.

p.s. i don't like the white ps label either

@Flaming_Kaiser The cover itself is okay but I think it will be better if the cover can give the viewers some sort of understanding of the game theme (the timeloop). Oh well, I'm sure the game will be good though, can't wait for this housemarque first AAA games

I can't wait for Sackboy!!! Er + most of them

I like the darker themed art of Returnal and Demon’s Souls. The others look too generic to me.
