Sony Highlights Biggest PS5 Games for 2025 in New Trailer

Where is MGS3elta

Ugh. Where is MGS3: Delta

Wow - almost makes me miss the constant remasters...

@Balaam_ Colonel, where the hell is my remake?

Snake, you're in the wrong game!

@TechaNinja you talkin’ da me? 😉

Man none of these games listed sound any good. May The Game Awards announcements save us. (Not likely)

Yes because there will be the psvr2 version of hitman 3, also The Midnight Walk looks pretty cool.

Hopefully they announce some more al exclusives at the game awards. I think we're get something god of war related.

@Balaam_ Exactly my thought, and a PSA for anyone looking at this, if last year was anything to go off this is no guarantee these games are coming out in 2025

Fantastic lineup. Maybe I'll get to them before the PS6 drops at this rate!

No judas? Ghost of Yotei and Monster Hunter Wild for me. Maybe death stranding 2 too.

What in the actual F, are Sony's studios doing....
This is getting to be a ridiculous generation on the fp studio front.

@MikeOrator which of these games actually look good enough to justify a day 1 purchase?

Odd that they chose to do this trailer before the Game Awards rather than after.

Last year they did a similar thing and it was the first confirmation that Stellar Blade was going to release on 2024 when a lot of people were saying it wouldn't and it was also the confirmation that Concord was going to release on 2024 LOL.

So basically now we know Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding are 2025 games guaranteed. This was a strong year for Sony, Helldivers 2 became one of the most important Sony IPs and with The last of us remaster dominated the first half of the year, the final shape is the best Destiny 2 expansion, Horizon remaster is not only the ultimate Horizon ver. is also the jump for Nixxes from pc porting team to dev team, looks like many didn't like LEGO Horizon but I had a great time with it and of course Astro Bot came out of nowhere and stole everyone hearts. All of that in a quiet year.

Need more gift cards this holiday season.

@NathanKang almost all of them if you have the money.

@KundaliniRising333 dude did you know that Astro Bot was going to release in 2024 BEFORE 2024? lol

@KundaliniRising333
Totally agree, I think on that list was Ghost of Y, the only big AAA Sony studio game.
I think Xbox studios will release more for PS5 next year than Sonys own studios.
Indy
Doom
COD
TO NAME 3.

@GymratAmarillo Astrobot was just more ASTRO bot. If it's not your thing, it really doesn't matter how well that thing is crafted. As I've matured, that type of game is 100% not my thing, and despite its hype and acclaim, I suspect that is the case with a lot of others.

Despite individual tastes, I still don't get your point. 2024 was a terrible year on the Fp front and was largely carried by elden ring dlc, a few good and many OK third party games, albeit most of which released technically unfinished.

Astrobot of all things did not somehow make it some banger year from Sonys studios even if I was into that type/tone of game at this stage of my life.

@OldGamer999 agreed. I genuinely wonder now if perhaps a great deal more of what Sony was cooking on the fp front had to be canceled and rebooted as the gamer audience continues to reject like 90% of new live service schemes. It's pretty insane to me that we still don't know what most of their Studios are even working on 2/3 into this generation.

@KundaliniRising333 if you like the games or not or what you think about them doesn't really matter. Before 2024 started there was only 2 first party game confirmed for 2024, the year ended with 6, that's the point.

@GymratAmarillo I think you are confusing first party with exclusive/timed exclusive...

On the first party front last year we got Astrobot and a terrible friggin Lego game...

@KundaliniRising333 “I genuinely wonder now if perhaps a great deal more of what Sony was cooking on the fp front had to be canceled and rebooted as the gamer audience continues to reject like 90% of new live service schemes”

It’s only now that you wonder that… hmm 🤔

Hope we get a in-depth gameplay trailer for the new Mafia title at TGA. Apart from that the new MH game should be a shoe-in if they take care to optimise it before release.

'Probably the biggest omission is GTA 6'

No, that's multiplatform and Sony can't influence the release date. The biggest omission is Wolverine. I was hoping they'd reveal it's out next year.

@KundaliniRising333

• Helldivers 2
• The last of us 2 remastered
• Until Dawn
• Horizon Zero Dawn remastered
• LEGO Horizon
• Astro Bot

All of them Sony IPs, all of them made under the PS Studios administration and more than "timed exclusives". That without counting Destiny the Final Shape that is an expansion not a full game, all of that in a year they told you from the beginning was going to be quiet lol.
And once again it doesn't really matter if you like the games or not, it's still a product that took time and work.

@GymratAmarillo wow, I can't even bring myself to respond to that list, as it seems your being serious in suggesting that's a strong slate of releases. There is clearly no sense in continuing this discussion with you . Have a good one and I'm glad you are satisfied with that 👍

I’m really looking forward to AC. I wish they had gone with a more traditional samurai though. Such a wasted opportunity

@KundaliniRising333 of course you don't, before release you were talking about how Helldivers 2 was a "generic game" and it became not only one of the most important IPs in Sony history but also one of the most important games of the year. As a long time Helldivers fan that game alone makes me satisfied LOL.
I also wish you a good day 😁.

@KundaliniRising333
I mean I’m ok have all three consoles now.
But this definitely is not the PS4 days from Sony and plenty of remasters are us, etc.

GTA6 and KCD2 are all I need.

@riceNpea Sony can't influence the release dates of the vast majority of the games in the trailer either?

Ill take the two walking games and LAD. Where they hell is pragmata?

Thank god KCD2 is coming out in february!

It’ll be 2025 and Naughty Dog still hasn’t announced their next title. I know it’s coming but just realized it’s been over 4 years now since the PS5 launched. Had two nice remakes but I’ve been anxiously waiting to hear about their next game.
Also Jade Ramond’s Haven Studios, I haven’t heard anything about them in a long time. I really hope their games succeeds.

It's hilarious how many major releases there are in February. How did this even happen?

@LiamCroft yes I agree, my point exactly. That's why Wolverine is the biggest omission.

Ghost of Yotei is all I care about next year. No rush to get GTA 6, will probably be another game they'll milk for 3 generations.

Expedition 33
Tails of Iron 2
Instinction
Snake Eater Remake I presume is out next year now
Jedi Power Battles Remaster
Lost Soul Aside (I hope)
Pragmata ( I hope)

My wallet is already crying, 2025 is absolutely STACKED for games.

@KundaliniRising333 You say “as you’ve matured” and “in this stage of your life”. What do you mean by that? What stage in your life are you if i may ask?

I mean everyone has its own taste and thats fine, but are you implying that games like Astro Bot or Mario or whatever aren’t really for adults? Or that somehow maturity has something to do with liking these games? Is it the aesthetics of the games? Like realistic graphics is more for mature people? Or is it the gameplay?

Genuinely curious, since I’ve heard you say that before.

@T-Bone09 People have been saying that Naughty Dog hasnt announced their next project for at least 2 years now.

But you do realize they released The Last of us 2 in 2020 right? Thats 4 years ago. Im always confused why there’s this big pressure on Naught Dog to announce something when most big developers take at least 4 or 5 years to release a game after their last one.

Baby steps???? WTF.

Ghost of Yotei is day one purchase... besides that... doom but maybe when it goes on sale.

Last year I was only interested in Stellar blade and turned out that it was a great year at least for me... let's hope 2025 is as good as 2024 has been.

@LogicStrikesAgain The best way I describe it is something like a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich. You may or may not like it when younger and then feel the opposite as you age. I assume you're asking this to see if there's an angle to have a rebuttal or argue this notion but this really can't be that surprising a take can it?

I mean you look at a game like astrobot or yes even Mario and you're telling me you can't fathom that there are certain Gamers that just find that those games as they grow older to be too simplistic whether that be on the gameplay front story front or yes even visually in terms of art style. whatever the reasoning, this is not that crazy a take to have.

I'm glad you may or may not like it, however I would hope that if you set your personal biases aside you can see how a game like astrobot or let's say Lego Horizon, or Pokémon, or even many jrpg games may have gamers that either love it or don't and that sentiment could have changed as ones tastes evolve over time.

Lots of multiplatform games and even PS4 games. Nice.

Ofcourse i understand there are people that arent into these kinds of games, i dont think i ever argued anything against that, nor that taste can change over time.

I just think that “being in a certain stage of your life” has nothing to do with it, thats all. You can like these games or not. Doesnt have anything to do with age. I think you also realize there are many adults who like these types of games.

But i’ll leave it there, cause im not really looking for an argument as you say, was only curious. You can like whatever you like, i wont ever judge anyone on that. 😉

@LogicStrikesAgain Doesnt have anything to do with age.

It does for me, I prefer a more mature theme/game, astrobot, lego, mario and games similar to these are not mature adult themed games.

Ghost of Yotei is the only day one for me, actually is the only one from that list that interest me. I really hope we get a few surprises next year, I'm very curious about what Bluepoint is working on.

@torquex I’m saying inherently its not got anything to do with age. It’s your personal preference. The fact that many adults like these types of games is proof that age isnt a factor.

Age might influence someone’s preferences, but It’s not a universal rule that as you grow older, you outgrow certain games.

@LogicStrikesAgain Age might influence someone’s preferences, buts It’s not a universal rule that as you grow older, you outgrow certain games.

Yes I agree with this sentiment and it's definitely each to their own choice/preference. I actually had quality time with my daughter on the sega master system and road rash? I think it was called, and sonic lol.

@MikeOrator yeah that one looks good. Not for full price tho

@torquex Thats nice bro. Always good to have some father daughter quality time!

Funnily enough my tastes have actually changed a bit from liking more mature themes, to things like Astro Bot . Not that i dont like mature themes anymore, i just feel like i need to balance it out with something a bit less intense once in a while lol

I wish they would focus on JRPGS more. Atelier Yuma, Phantom Brave and Trails of Daybreak are all coming out early 2025 and need more attention.

@LogicStrikesAgain

As I mentioned they made two remasters. They have two dev teams. It’s ok to want to see what they’re cooking. It would be nice to see a trailer in 2025 or a timeline.
During PS3 era they released Uncharted in late 2007, Uncharted 2 was in 2009, and 3 came out in 2011. Last of Us was released in 2013

During PS4 era Last of Us released in 2014 Uncharted 4 came out in 2016
Last of Us 2 2020
That’s the last original titles.

PS5 had two remasters 2022 and 2024.
So of course people are eager to see a new title.
Trust me I know the whole dev timeline has prolonged to over 4-6 years. I get it and I understand the Factions 2 was dropped. But a lot of people weren’t expecting just to have remasters at this point.

@T-Bone09 Dont get me wrong. I definitely want to see something from them. I just feel like this has been going on for a few years now, even as early as 2 years after they released Tlou2, and it seems like they are pressured more than other big developers to show what they’re working on. Taking aside past generations, this generation its hard to see games coming out sooner than 4 or 5 years from most developers.

But yeah, I also hope they show something soon.

@themightyant I’m with you on this one. I really dont understand why people get so hung up with first or third party exclusives. Playstation had like 12 exclusives or something this year alone. But somehow they’re failing or it doesn’t count because it wasnt all first party?

PS1 and PS2 era hardly had any first party exclusives. Just sayin

@LogicStrikesAgain
Yea I understand it sucks being gamers with the waiting game. Back during the launch of the PS3 I only had a few titles and I played the fire out of Resistance:FoM, that was some major fun multiplay with all the different weapons. Motorstorm came out in the last quarter of 06, there was some other games in between. But I had to really wait until 2007 for the onslaught of games to begin.. Warhawk, Folklore, Cod4, and Uncharted etc. The floodgates begin to open. And I say that to say this. PS3 was hard to dev for at first and PS5 it seems like it had a lot of great titles to come out then but the pace has been a lot differently.
This gen had great years but just fewer in between.Obviously it’s not over but I just wish it had a lot more depth. I’d liked have AA first party games instead of like 6 years in the making AAAA first party titles to play until the AAAA games released.

@ChrisDeku I didnt even realize that, but its true. Fun fact, 4 years in, the PS4 only had 3 first party titles with a 90+ Meta score. The PS5 already has 4. Not even counting DLCs, expansions and remasters. Thats not bad, since people are calling this generation so much worse than previous ones.

Edit: Even better if you look at 85+ scores 4 years in, PS4: 4 and PS5: 8. I didnt expect that to be honest. And i know Metacritic scores aren’t everything, but it sure is something.

I guess we really are seeing it through nostalgia tinted lenses.

So I care about none of these. They are good just not my thing.

Little Nightmares 3/Reanimal are cool.

Borderlands 4 makes sense.

Doom makes sense.

Forgot what Where Winds Meet was till looking it up.

Midnight Walk vaguely remember but is probably cool.

Forever Skies forget if seen somewhere or not seems fine.

Hell Is Us probably fine.

Not my type of games but are most audiences so good for the rest of you, but I get it for those into the sequels or the other IPs upcoming. Just nothing for me here.

My most excited here are for sure Ghost and DS2! But not on the list for some reason, Clair Obscure looks incredible!!

I am so ready for dynasty warriors origins

if you disregard remasters, remakes, 2nd party releases, timed exclusives, games that also came out on ps4 and most games are also out on pc.

the list of first party ps5 exclusives is very small

@KundaliniRising333 I also don’t feel too excited about Astrobot for the same reasons. It might be a piece of art, but currently not on my wish list.

What a dismal lineup...

Need Concorde PS5 Pro Remastered Edition.

Is it just for me that videos here on PushSquare aren't working? They seem to be working fine for me on Nintendo Life, so I wonder what's up.

Edit: Now working. Given that Sony is keeping games close to their chest, and that we're about to have what is supposed to be a big TGA, I think this is a pretty good line-up.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare just think about this dude. What if the remaster is Bloodborne? What if the remake is Sly?
People would be crazy about it right? But still would be just a remaster/remake. Work is work. The year started with 2 projects and ended with 7 minus 1 that was concord so basically 6 lol.

The only reason why people would make that work less is because they don't like the games and yet they sell ... a lot. TLOU2 remastered was in the top 10 of most sold games the first half of the year.

The best example is Horizon. It may be a remaster but if you haven't played the game in a while is like playing a brand new game, Nixxes put a lot of work in it way beyond of what you would expect from a remaster. They said it's the first of many, all the ps4 juggernauts already have a ps5 ver. I don't know what is next but knowing Nixxes is making it I'm sure exited, there's a lot of PS4 games that didn't sell crazy numbers and deserve a second chance, Bloodborne is one but I don't expect it before the ps6. If they remaster Infamous, any of them, that's a W to me.
