PlayStation State of Play Delights Fans with Exciting Game Announcements
During a recent State of Play presentation, PlayStation fans were thrilled to see a variety of stellar games showcased and revealed. The presentation was a precursor to the upcoming Summer Games Fest, a major gaming celebration that features announcements from various companies, with PlayStation leading the charge with its own presentation.
Exciting Reveals and Updates
14 games were highlighted during the PlayStation State of Play event, with the initial focus being on new footage of Concord, a hero shooter similar to Overwatch developed by Sony’s in-house studio, Firewalk Studios. While Concord was previously announced last year, this was the first time gamers got a glimpse of actual gameplay, and the early impressions are quite positive.
One interesting aspect of Concord is that it will be available on both PS5 and PC via Steam, following a trend that Sony has been employing lately with games like Helldivers 2. Additionally, a release date was announced for the Silent Hill 2 remake from Konami and Bloober Team, scheduled to launch on PS5 and PC on October 8, 2024.
