Seven months into its existence, the PlayStation 5 is a
great console that has sell to hot next level, mostly due to it only having a
mere handful of games to take advantage of likely to arouse the interest and attention of
the public because of its features. When games such as Returnal
and Spider-Man Miles Morales do pop up though? It’s a moment worth celebrating
as Sony’s first-party offerings have been hitting sixes on the pitch so far. Beyond
June’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the future of PlayStation’s more
prestigious titles seems a bit murky. Horizon: Forbidden West won’t be out for
a while, and the console can’t build a legacy on third-party games alone. Good
thing then, that a lot of new games are
on the horizon. And by a lot, I meant a lot.
In interview with Wired, PlayStation Studios head and
Guerrilla Games co-founder Hermen Hulst said that there are over 25 PS5 games
in development, half of which are completely new intellectual properties.
“There’s an incredible amount of variety originating from different regions,”
Hulst said. “Big, small, different genres.” Hulst didn’t name-drop any games
specifically, but Jade Raymond’s new Haven Studios project and Kena: Bridge of
Spirits were referenced. As for Sony’s tentpole releases, Horizon Forbidden
West is still on track for a 2021 release, which has an interesting new feature
that players can experience thanks to the DualSense controller. “If you want to
take a stealth approach to a combat situation and you dive into long grass, you
can feel those long grass leaves,” Guerrilla’s studio head Angie Smets said.
