Here’s our list of Upcoming PS5 Games.
Confirmed Titles
1. A New Bluepoint Studios game
Bluepoint Games is a studio known for their impressive ports and remasters. From Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted's Nathan Drake Collection, and the recent Shadow of the Colossus. Right now, we still don't know what game they're churning out for the PS5, but it's confirmed that they're planning to use next-gen power for some.
While nothing is set in stone, there's been some talk in the grapevine about a Demon's Soul remake, a guess isn't too far off since its a Sony Owned IP. There isn't really much after that, but what with Bluepoint's great repertoire, we're already looking forward to it.
2. Dying Light 2
We already know that Dying Light 2 is bringing its brand of customizable zombie apocalypse to the PlayStation 4. But, just recently, Techland has confirmed that it's gonna be a cross-generation release on the Xbox Scarlett, and of course, the PlayStation 5.
Apparently, this has been planned since the beginning of production, according to the company's CTO, Pawel Rohleder. This news marks one of the first confirmed cross-gen titles for the upcoming console, though not much is known about how different it'll be in the different platforms.
We know Dying Light will be on the PS4 by about Spring of 2020, but its PS5 release is yet to be determined.
3. Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Square Enix's remake of the classic Final Fantasy VII exploded into the E3 scene this year with all its fancy new mechanics and fancier graphics, so it makes full sense that it's coming to the PS5 too. This much was confirmed when the company President and CEO, Yosuke Matsuda, told Game Informer that the title was being developed to be playable on both consoles.
On the other hand, there are still some unanswered questions about what form it'll take on the way to the upcoming console. Primarily, whether it'll stay as an episodic adventure or not.
We'll have a long a way to go with waiting, but at least we'll know it's coming. Eventually.
Rumored Titles
4. Cyberpunk 2077
Well, this isn't much of a secret. In some interviews, CD Projekt Red has already confirmed that their cyberpunk dystopia, with all its massive features, is being developed with the next-gen in mind. It's only appropriate that the awesome open world look into some kind of future is being future-proofed as well.
From all the previews we've seen, Cyberpunk 2077 is looking like a showcase of advanced technologies. From their diverse populace to the myriad of customizations available in their character appearance, background, and modifications.
With the imminent arrival of the PS5, it looks we'll get to experience all of that in more detail. But, it'll be quite a wait till then.
5. Death Stranding
The release of Kojima's latest masterpiece is already happening on the PlayStation 4, we know that much. But, with the ambition and promise that the title seems to have, it would be perfectly sensible to release it on the next-gen too.
The PlayStation 5 is reported to support up to 8K graphics, which might be a great way to fully immerse in the weird and unsettling universe that Kojima has created. No actual confirmation, as usual, but a Wired report cites PS5 architect, Mike Cerny's smile as a possible suggestion that it might be happening.
Nothing is certain yet.
6. Ghost of Tsushima
One of the scene stealers of E3, this rumor, as their propagators admit, is more of a bit of wishful thinking. It wouldn't be unexpected though. Ghost of Tsushima's trailer, telling the tale of the last Samurai on the Island during the Mongol invasion, was jam-packed with detail. So much so, that it could fully immerse us in its world.
That's probably one of the many reasons why people are expecting to experience the game in its fullest potential on the upcoming PlayStation 5 console.
There's a lot of speculation, sure, but SuckerPunch, the studio behind the title, is still mum on the details.
7. The Last of Us: Part 2
Sony's most beloved gems. When the first installment of The Last of Us came out, it also eventually become a cross-generational title that could be experienced on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.
Given all that, and the fact that Part II is already slated to release on February 21, 2020-- mere months from the late 2020 PS5 release--it really wouldn't be that much of a stretch to assume the title is coming to the PlayStation 5 too.
The Last of Us: Part 2 is perhaps one of the most anticipated titles on the Sony lineup, and it would be odd of them to hog it on the PS4.
Logical, sure, but we're still waiting on more details to substantiate the claims.
8. Starfield
Bethesda's glossy new IP hopes to introduce us to the beauty of our own cosmos. It's a most awaited space RPG and we've been aching to hear more about since its first announcement teaser. However, the studio has kept pretty silent about it. Understandable, since it does seem that the title is still in the early development stages.
There are some estimates that put Starfield's release sometime in 2020, or even later. As what seems like a massive game, though, it's almost expected that the title will stretch its frontiers to the PlayStation 5.
Bethesda, unfortunately, has not made any confirmations yet.
9. The Elder Scrolls 6
Just like Starfield, Bethesda isn't saying much about this explosive new chapter in the Elder Scrolls series. All they had to give us was last year's 37-second announcement teaser, which everyone pounced on with all their conspiracy-theory might. Add that to the fact that it didn't have any more details in this year's E3. It's the formula for maximum hype and Bethesda knows exactly what they're doing.
What we do know about the game is that it won't be releasing before Starfield, and that means, even more, waiting for us.
Recently, an article from International Business Times revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 is currently in its Concept and Design phase so we can be sure it’s still got a long, long way to go.
10. Grand Theft Auto 6 (tentative title)
If you thought the last few games were a stretch, we're only just beginning. What with all the success of Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar has been milking the cow as much as it can
Because of that, it's understandable that it'll be a while for the next installment. But, if they don't go the Todd Howard way of doing things, we can logically expect that the next, new Grand Theft Auto title will make its debut on the next generation.
These are all mere speculation though. As for Rockstar, it looks like they're all hands on deck with Red Dead Redemption and haven't made any particular hints on the subject as of yet.
We'll have to make do with GTA 5 for now.
11. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 (tentative title)
The speculation continues with the cybernetic prehistory of Guerrilla Games' action RPG. Released a little earlier in 2017, the hype for Horizon Zero Dawn may not be as massive as the later titles, it remains a fan-favorite for some, and definitely worthy of sitting beside Sony's other exquisite exclusives.
Since the game had a lot more time to stew, it seems a lot more likely for its sequel to come out soon--which might coincide with the PlayStation 5's arrival. There hasn't been any actual confirmation of a sequel from Sony or Guerilla Games. Horizon's voice actors, on the other hand, have spilled the beans.
What platform it will release on, though, remains to be seen.
12. God of War 2 (tentative title)
Less likely but still logical is the idea that the next God of War game is going to the PlayStation 5. Even though it just arrived on the scene in 2018, God of War has proved itself to be a worthy title in the Sony lineup, elbowing its way into top spots in almost every list. With that in mind, it's clear that this series will continue to excel and as such, a sequel is likely on the horizons.
Another clue is that Corey Balrog has been quoted to say that their DLC plans were too ambitious which may mean that their next venture will require a whole lot more power.
Sony has not spoken a word about this at all but their actions do speak otherwise, with a number of job listings being posted by Sony Santa Monica for a variety of roles.
13. Spider-Man 2 (tentative title)
Another one of Sony's big-time exclusives. The new Spider-Man series will also likely continue its footing on the PlayStation 5. Like God of war, Spider-Man was definitely on the top ranks of 2018's best games, which means the level is only gonna get higher in the coming sequels.
Spider-Man's last DLC arrived in December 2018, so more content may not be expected on the PlayStation 4. What is highly likely is their preparing something for the arrival of the PlayStation 5 sometime later in 2020.
As usual with these speculations, Sony has not made any comments yet.
14. Project Awakening
Cygames' take on Western role-playing games is one of the more concrete examples on this list. For one, it's actually in development and we've witnessed a lot of it thanks to its official trailer as well as a number of gameplays and interviews.
Cygames built their name on their mobile titles like Granblue and this marks another venture in console gaming.
From what we've seen so far, it looks absolutely stunning. While we know that's it's definitely going to happen, it's actual release on the PlayStation 5 is still pure speculation that's based on the fact that's still heavily in development right now.
It still could be a PS4 title, but it's likely that it'll make some slight adjustments to work on the PS5 too.
15. Watch Dogs Legion
Ubisoft's ambitious entry to their Watch Dogs is also a possible runner in the PlayStation 5 launch. Legion continues the technological innovations, both in their story as well as their features. Watch Dogs Legion sees players being allowed to play as absolutely anyone who chooses to take part in the rising revolution.
That's a lot of variety in gameplay, and it's an ambitious feat, to say the least. Since its PS4 release will hit close to the the PS5 launch, it's only reasonable that it'll follow shortly after.
That's exactly what Ubisoft has been hinting at recently. When it will be, we'll have to wait and see.
