To start the summer gaming season, PlayStation held a rather significant PlayStation State of Play. The event gave a great idea of what next year looks like in terms of third-party support and the future of VR. Of course, God of War Ragnarok was noticeably absent from the event, something that confused and disappointed some fans. Sony had made it clear in advance that this would be a third-party and VR-oriented event, but that didn’t stop them from breaking into some first-hand news about Marvel’s Spider-Man coming soon on PC.
Despite the lack of news for God of War, the PlayStation State of Play in June 2022 was a short but surprisingly great event. Not only have we received some long-awaited reports about games with a lot of rumors, but we also need to see what games for the PlayStation VR2 are being developed. Unfortunately, we haven’t received any new details about the headset, but some contextual evidence from the event suggests that the PlayStation VR2 will launch sometime in 2023. So for now, we can consider blog posts, trailers and screenshots to see what the headset has to offer .
The show gave us a lot to chew on, so for those who either missed the event altogether or were so overwhelmed with information that they didn’t keep everything, we have a comprehensive list. Keep scrolling to see everything that was announced and shown on PlayStation State of Play last week.
Resident Evil 4 remake
Finally, after years of rumors, Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 4 Remake is on the way. The trailer shows beautiful visuals and different ways in which Capcom rethinks this classic of survival horrors through history, graphics and gameplay, but still aims to preserve the “essence” of what made fans fall in love with the game in the first place . Capcom is also developing VR content for the remake, but did not specify what that means. The remake will be released on March 24, 2023 for Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
