A logo and a date, that is what future PlayStation 5 players can take advantage of right now. The next generation of Sony will not risk with its nomenclature, PS5 ; The big changes and leaps will take place inside a console that will aspire to compete once again for dominance in the market from Christmas 2020 . The crucial thing, above all, will be their video games. And that is what we are going to talk about in this article, of all the video games confirmed to date for PS5 .
One thing should be made clear before we begin: we are not going to find here any title that has not been officially confirmed; those will go in a separate, separate heading so there is no room for confusion. We will stick, however, to those titles that have explicitly confirmed that they will see the light in the next generation of consoles (from Sony, in this case); either intergenerationally or only in the new cycle of machines that starts at the end of the year.
[Last update: May 11, 2020]
Godfall
The Game Awards gala usually promises surprises, announcements, unexpected names. TGA 2019 kept its promise and left us with the new from Counterplay Games and Gearbox for PC and PS5: Godfall. Shortly after, a controversial six-minute video leaked that left fans of this type of RPG action titles quite cold, so the company had to go out and explain what it was about.
"We can confirm that the trailer that is circulating corresponds to PC sequences from a year ago , used as part of an internal presentation," they started saying, thus ruling out that the game, planned for the computer and PlayStation 5, is truly much less ambitious. than estimated. “We are bursting with energy from your excitement and look forward to showing you how far this game can go. Stay tuned for more details soon ”, they finished.
We know that Godfall will be a third-person perspective video game and that it will be set in a devastated world full of monsters. There will be looting , multiplayer mode for up to four players and the option to complete the adventure also individually. The release date is unknown; but it won't arrive before Christmas 2020.
Outriders
The new People Can Fly changed its mind just a few days ago. His plan was to go on sale throughout this first semester, but finally his new launch window is the end of 2020 turned into an intergenerational video game: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
"We really want to finally reveal what we've been working on for the past four years," said Bartosz Kmita , game director at People Can Fly. “It is our first game after leaving Epic Games. It is the title that we have always wanted to do and this idea has been growing to become the most ambitious project of People Can Fly ”, concludes Kmita.
A shooter with RPG elements awaits us set in a very dark science fiction universe, with humanity close to extinction.
MeriStation was able to test the game after having moved to the studio offices. In this article we tell you what we found the game after playing it for three hours in Warsaw, Poland.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is, by default, one of the most anticipated video games for the next generation just by name. If you like Tolkien, this title has to catch your attention.
This past January we learned the first details of the game, whose objective is to launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X; and that it will be based on Tolkien's universe. The game is using Unreal Engine 4 as the engine and it will tell us "the story of Gollum from a perspective never seen before". Its gameplay will be based on action and stealth, deepening especially in the double personality of the character. Its departure is scheduled for the year 2021, although there is no specific month or quarter.
Likewise, in the pages of one of the latest issues of EDGE it was said that it will have "levels of gigantic dimensions and aesthetically inspired by the drawings made by Tolkien himself" and that we will cross a large part of Middle-earth while we come across " hostile faces and friendly ”.
Despite the economic difficulties of Daedalic Entertainment, the company has confirmed this February that the financial vicissitudes remain outside the project; at least right now.
Rainbow Six: Siege
This last case catches us very closely. It was on February 17 when Ubisoft, in statements to Engadget , confirmed that Rainbow Six: Siege - whose community has more than 50 million players - will have a version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X from launch. When exactly? That does not depend on the French company, but on when each machine is launched on the market.
There is a certainty: Rainbow Six: Siege will be out on PS5 and Xbox Series X with all the content that the current versions already have; without cuts and with cross play (for now, all PlayStation on one side and all Xbox on the other).
"I can't give you a date because those dates depend, in the end, on the people who are making the new generation of consoles," he begins by saying about the specific release date of Rainbow Six Siege for PS5 and Xbox Series X , which depends on the day in which these are put up for sale. "What I can tell you is that we are going to be there [PS5 and Xbox Series X] from launch." The goal is that, in the future, crossplay will be total. They have not confirmed what visual and technical improvements the PS5 version will have.
Watch Dogs: Legion
The most ambitious installment in the Watch Dogs saga will also be one of the great attractions of the firm led by Yves Guillemot in the next gen. We go back to last October, specifically when Ubisoft presented the financial results for that quarter (Q2 / FY2019). The CEO of the gala giant commented that Watch Dogs Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine and Gods and Monsters (which had been delayed days before) would be intergenerational video games: cross-gen. Both for PS4, Xbox One and PC as for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
For the title that concerns us, he warned that his exit window will be between April 2020 and March 31, 2021, although later we have learned that Ubisoft expects to have 3 AAA video games on the market between October and December 2020. If Watch Dogs: Legion is or is not one of them is something that seems probable, but it is not confirmed. We will leave doubts later.
Guillemot did not comment in that meeting with shareholders what improvements Watch Dogs: Legion will have on PS5 and Xbox Series X, so we do not know if there will be something beyond what was expected: improvements in resolution, FPS, loading times ...
Gods and Monsters
We continue with Ubisoft; this time, with the expected project of the parents of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, also delayed compared to the initial plan. In this case, we know that the video game will be released between April 2020 and March 31, 2021. Gods and Monsters was presented at E3 2019 as an action adventure by Ubisoft Quebec; an ambitious bet that they want to convert even into a franchise if the commercial response goes with it.
"We have made the decision to spend more time polishing our game so that we can deliver an even more incredible and memorable experience across all platforms," they argued to justify the delay late last year.
The game will hold certain design-level reminiscences with its previous project, only this time turning more than ever to the fantastic theme and taking advantage of the virtues of the animated worlds to recreate all kinds of jumps, weapons, aerial enemies and abilities to shoot down. barriers: anything goes. In fact, they defined it as an Assassin's Creed Odyssey "with asteroids". It will be on PlayStation 5.
Rainbow Six: Quarantine
If we have previously talked about Rainbow Six: Siege, a phenomenon rarely seen judging by its community of active players every month, the next iteration of the saga (This time, a parallel spin-off ) will have as its main rival its predecessor. There are voices that point to the delay, precisely, to the success of Siege, which can be counterproductive for both if they cannot coexist without cannibalizing each other. The difference between the two is what can allow you both to go your own way
In any case, Rainbow Six: Quarantine will be intergenerational. The initial plan was to hit the market before April 2020, but following the restructuring of the title release schedule, this parallel sequel will be out sometime before March 31, 2021.
As far as we know, the game is based on the Outbreak event that Rainbow Six Siege itself hosted months ago. In the title we will have to face a mysterious alien parasite that is infecting humans and transforming them into lethal creatures. At the playable level, a cooperative shooter in teams of three people awaits us , PvE and and with a science fiction setting for the first time in its history. It will be cross-gen, with a version on PS5.
The new game from Bluepoint Games
That Bluepoint Games has something on its hands is something we have known for a long time. They are the authors of the first two installments of God of War , Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 , ICO and especially, the acclaimed Shadow of the Colossus Remake . Now they will go a step further with their first game for PS5, the "biggest" game in its history.
The game, whatever it is, will be out on PlayStation 5. "We're working on a great game right now," said Marco Trush, president of the studio, last October. "I will let you find out the rest," he said flatly.
The only thing we know officially about this project, beyond its already confirmed platform, is that it will be "a reimagination", a reinterpretation of a game to adapt it to current times.
"Our latest project is the largest yet, and it aims to set a visual bar for next-generation hardware," they argued this January. “Our founders were part of the Metroid Prime development team, and have been in the industry for 20 years. […] With each game, we try to establish graphics and gameplay that define an industry, as well as the growth and success of our study ”.
What will it be? We do not know. Nor does the launch date, as much as it sounds for the launch of the console this Christmas.
Gothic Remake
Not many expected it, but THQ Nordic continues to demonstrate that it knows how to take advantage and has the will to squeeze every franchise it buys. We knew that they had taken the license rights together with Pyranha Bytes , but now it is confirmed that Gothic Remake is confirmed for the next generation of consoles: PS5, Xbox Series X and PC.
The most surprising thing, at least for the Spanish, is that the video game is being developed in Barcelona, at the Catalan headquarters of the studio. "We are ready for the challenge to develop a complete remake of Gothic, which will remain as faithful as possible to the original experience," they commented. Furthermore, they promise to recreate everything extremely carefully to respect the original title. It will not come out in 2020.
Nascence: Anna's Song
You may nascence: Anna's Song is not a AAA, like most games we have been discussing in this article, but this project from the creators of Anna, Dreampainters, aims to reach by 2020 as a horror adventure for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 , in addition to PC. His first trailer left us with the feeling of being in front of a calm rhythm title, very contemplative and very technically ambitious.
The studio wants to emphasize the narrative through a character named Thomas, a retired photographer who will leave his native London to embark on a complex mission where he will have to recover the ashes of a woman who was murdered many years before, centuries before. It is said that she was a witch and that her name was Anna, but there are not many more details. The game will be part of a trilogy that will be named Anna's Song.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
The new episode of the Ubisoft saga presented this April will not miss the new generation of consoles: Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Ubisoft Montreal , along with fourteen other development studios - Ubisoft Barcelona among them - is working on what is presented as the most ambitious delivery of the license. Following in the wake of Assassin's Creed Origins and Odyssey in 2017 and 2018, respectively, this episode will continue the ambition to build a huge open world with gameplay clearly marked by action RPG.
The difference is that this time we have Norse mythology as the main setting in the Viking era. The adventure will invite us to put ourselves in the shoes of Eivor and lead a clan from the moors of Norway to the England of the 9th century. A novelty will be the settlements or the deep customization of characters.
It should be noted that Assassin's Creed Valhalla will allow you to choose a male and female protagonist character and both will be canon; In addition, both heterosexual and homosexual romances will be allowed: all represented.
The game will go on sale in physical and digital format on PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia later this year; presumably coinciding with the release date of at least Microsoft's next-generation console, where there will be Smart Delivery. We recommend that you take a look at all the editions available by reservation and, in this longer article, everything we know about the title to date.
Observer: System Redux
Bloober Team 's horror and science fiction title is back with a facelift for the new generation of consoles, too. The creators of Layers of Fear and Blair Witch announced this April that Observer: System Redux is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
Although they have not released many details of the title apart from their presentation trailer, we do know that the intention is to put it on sale at the end of 2020 on the new machines, PS4, Xbox One and PC. We are facing a remastering, not a totally new installment, but they will expand the gameplay and expand the story with new content; Little by little they will offer all the details.
For those who are not familiar, we remember that this is a science fiction story set in the near future where everything we imagine can be hacked with technological devices, including the human brain. And that's how we ran into Daniel Lazarski, an observer capable of manipulating people's memories using the implants they have inside. The situation will take a darker turn when Daniel investigates the death of his son in an apartment complex.
Quantum Error
Quantum Error is one of the last confirmed. The TeamKill Media game will be a first person shooter for PS4 and PS5 where they want to surprise with the visuals. Big load of realistic cinematics and terror to force us not to blink.
Mind you, there is no guarantee that the game will be ready for the launch of PS5. From TeamKill Media they published a new statement in which they said the following: "It is too early to confirm if Quantum Error will come out on the launch of PS5". The study, in charge of Kings of Lorn: The fall of Ebrist, does not know if they will arrive in time to publish the game on the new generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft. More details will follow shortly. “Development is going fast and well, but there is still a lot to do. We will see ”, they finish.
Quantum Error uses the graphic Unreal Engine graphics engine and will bet on graphics close to photorealism. The developers call the game a cosmetic horror narrative through their space adventure. In PS5 they hope to be able to reduce the times of load thanks to the memories of storage SSD.
Call of Duty: Warzone
Activision's battle royale, one of today's most popular multiplayer games with over 60 million registered players in its first few months, will be out on PlayStation 5. “I know our plan is that Warzone is here for a long time, so As soon as the new systems are out there, I'm sure we'll support them, ”confirmed Activision-owned studio narrative director Taylor Kurosaky. The goal is to support the game as soon as both consoles are released, but no specific date has been given.
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on next-gen consoles, though we don't know exactly when. On PS5 you are not ensuring that you will have backward compatibility; However, on Xbox Series X there will be Smart Delivery: we buy it once and play the best version of the Xbox console that we have. In an interview, CD Projekt business development leader Michal Nowakowski said: “In terms of the Microsoft console, as I said, we have officially confirmed both the update and the availability between generations, which means that you will be able to play from the first moment in the next generation. However, if we talk about a single and complete version for the next generation, that will come later ”.
Destiny 2
One of the biggest multiplayer phenomena of the current generation will see the light of day in the next generation. The title of Bungie, reborn after some complicated beginnings, will not forget the players of PS5 and Xbox Series X. Although they have not confirmed the exact release date of this version, they do assure that "Destiny 2 will be on the platforms of the next generation". In the message, issued after the Inside Xbox in May, they assured that they would give details soon. Hopefully it will come with all the content published up to Shadowkeep and with New Light under his arm so that the community does not miss a thing.
Scarlet Nexus
It was one of the great stars of Inside Xbox, but it will not be released only on Xbox Series X but also on PS4, Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 5. Scarlet Nexus is Bandai Namco's new bet for the action genre combined with adventure, hack and slash mechanics , super powers and a clearly anime aesthetic. Scarlet Nexus takes us to a dystopian future in which humanity has been plunged before creatures called Alter. We will put ourselves in the shoes of Yuito Sumeragi, who has powers of psychokinesis, the only method to end the invulnerability of these hostile beings. It has no departure date.
DiRT 5
The Codemasters game, a new more ambitious installment with aspirations to cover not only rallies but to make a kind of festive off-road with all kinds of disciplines, will also be released on PlayStation 5. Apart from the Microsoft home console, Xbox Series X, where it will offer 4K resolution and up to 120 PFS, on the Sony machine will arrive soon. We don't know the date for DiRT 5, but in current generation systems we will be driving on mud and asphalt from October.
Dying Light 2
Techland's new title will be intergenerational, as confirmed a few months ago. The game will also be released on PlayStation 5. Dying Light 2 aims to take advantage of the features of the new generation. Techland, its creators and also responsible for Dead Island, have spoken wonders of the DualSense, which they hope will "change the game" as we know it. This sequel to the open world title will give us access to a ruthless and gloomy post-apocalyptic world in which man and infected pose the same threat.
Chorus: Rise as One
Flashlabs announced this new shooter located in the space in which we will control Nara, a spacecraft pilot, next to his Forsaken ship. This action packed adventure with a strong narrative component will go on sale sometime in 2021 and aims, like other titles intended for the next generation, to harness the full potential of the consoles to come. In our lands, Deep Silver will be in charge of editing this Chorus: Rise as One.

WRC 9 is the new installment of the official racing and racing saga of the World Rally Championship by Kylotonn and Nacon for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. It will be launched on current generation consoles in September, but on the machines that will leave from Christmas there is no date yet. The game promises playable improvements and a stunning graphics section with which to enjoy the FIA World Championship. The genre of driving will shine this next five years, at least visually.
Roots of Pacha
We were very surprised when it was announced, and it's not for nothing. Roots of Pacha is new to Crytivo and Soda Den, a cooperative RPG title with elements from Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon planned for 2021. With its item pickup mechanics and tool enhancement, we'll have to live in this prehistoric universe where the stone, the fire and the search for food will be the norm. We can grow and harvest food of all kinds, tame animals or build new buildings and crops. We can play with up to four people.
Madden NFL 21
The new episode of the Madden saga by EA will be one of the great sports bets on the part of the North American publisher to start the new generation. Madden NFL 21 will be released on PS5 along with the rest of the current and next generation platforms; an American football simulator in which they hope to take advantage of the full technical potential of the console and offer an updated experience in templates and game modes for lovers of this sport; especially in the United States.
Martha is Dead
Martha is Dead presents a psychological horror adventure by LKA and Wired Productions for PC and PlayStation 5 in which the body of a young woman is found dead in Tuscany in 1944. This will be one of the most ambitious photorealistic games. The creators of Town of Light want to take full advantage of the power of Sony's console hardware, which they rate as "incredibly exciting." For those who love games set in the WWII era, this title should be on your priority list.
Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2
This March we learned that Ultimate Games was preparing Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2, this sequel based on the realistic fishing simulation. It will be more ambitious, intergenerational, with a version on PlayStation 5 from 2021 and with a multitude of fish species available. Judging from the first images, we see more scenarios and a more ambitious graphics section. It may go unnoticed, but it's one of those games with its own audience.
MicroMan
We don't know much about MicroMan, but it will be an action adventure from Glob Games Studios for PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch and PC. Broadly speaking, we will put ourselves in the shoes of a tiny man in order to survive. There will also be stages of platforms or others in which we must cross roads mounted on a skateboard: fight, search for items to interact with and a lot of ingenuity await us in this work planned for 2021.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will not leave out the new generation. This work by Hardsuite Labs will also be seen on the next Sony console to locate his recreation of Seattle full of vampires. RPG, adventure, action and exploration. Although it has promised to arrive sometime in 2020, we will have to wait a while to know if it will launch from the first day on PS5.
Annex: what is happening within Sony Computer Entertainment
Regardless of what was reviewed in this article, we know that Media Molecule is working with an experimental version of Dreams for PS5. They consider that it is logical that, in the future, the game will see the light in the fifth Sony home console, especially so as not to fragment the community; but, to this day, they have nothing to announce. Of course, the game can now be run on a PS5.
We also know that from Sony, the team of Mark Cerny, main architect of the machine, is working with an adapted version of Gran Turismo Sport with the development kits. As he commented in that advance granted to Wired , he could feel when the wheels stepped on the pianos in a curve with a different vibration, more sensitive and rigid, than when the vehicle added meters on the asphalt, thanks to the DualShock with haptic triggers that the new PS5 controller . We do not know if they plan a Gran Turismo Sport 2.0 or an eventual Gran Turismo 7 launch, but it is possible because, as they have officially quoted, they are working with Gran Turismo on PlayStation 5. In addition, its creator has confirmed that they are already working on the next installment of the saga.
Insomniac Games (Marvel's Spider-Man), Sony Santa Monica Studio (God of War) and Guerrilla Games (Horizon: Zero Dawn) are officially working on their next projects, which will be exclusive to PlayStation.
