More PS5 exclusives will be announced for 2025, hints Shinobi

[voke]

If you show off the full lineup for the rest of the gen then you have nothing new to show. You have a day in the news and that's it. Having it spread out gives each game the spotlight.

If you had for argument sake [the games listed aren't the point] Horizon 3, GoY and Days Gone 2 announced on the same date then Days Gone 2 gets lost in the shuffle. Days Gone 2 being announced in a different show, likewise Horizon 3 on yet another show, where they are each show's diamond gives it more eyes and also keeps the idea of Playstation in the public eye for more overall days than a one and done.

Xbox's showcase was universally praised but fuck all is mentioned since in the media in comparison to if they dripfed the games. That was only one day in the sun.

It’s crazy how hyped that showcase was. All they did was show trailers for games they announce multiple years prior. They are still running the old hype playbook Sony and Nintendo have both graduated from last generation.

Perfect Dark, Fable, State of Decay 3, Avowed…. We heard about all of these games well over 4 years ago.

I've said it in another thread but Sony is done with announcing games years in advance. They could have teased Astrobot and Yotei 2-3 years ago but they waited for the right moment.

Wolverine has been MIA for 3 years now.

Spiderman 1 had back to back E3 shows and people complained about it.

The Last Guardian took an entire console generation to finally launch.

Or just simply look at Xbox.

 

[Kokoloko]

If Shinobi says, then it will be.

Dunno why they break up the announcements like this instead of having a hype showcase...

Same. Some fans like it seems, I dont.

Hopefully the transition period is ending. So less big gaps for announcements

 

[YeezyDude]

I hope so... I want more!

E3 2016 was one of the best shows ever. But let's be honest GOW kinda overshadowed everything else that night.

 

[Kokoloko]

Thats a great year. More will be excellent

 

[KvallyX]

Because Xbox is dead.

Do ya need a spankin'?

 

[YeezyDude]

Thats a great year. More will be excellent

It'll be indeed. 2025 will be better than the first half of this current generation!

 

[Say1nMan]

Finger crossed that that rumored December event is indeed happening. Starting to lean more towards that.

 

[Gediminas]

Do ya need a spankin'?

 

[Eternal_Wings]

I think it's related to the PlayStation 30th anniversary. It will be probably a showcase to celebrate the anniversary.

My predictions:

Cygames x XDEV Japan - Project Awakening
JP GAMES x XDEV Japan - JRPG

 

[CrackmanNL]

Somebody said to me that Wolverine is 2026 but I always had it as 2025.
What more?

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
Marathon
Ghost of Yotei
Usual The Show

From the Insomniac leaks: Wolverine targeted for 2026

The same leak said Venom is 2025
FairGame$ & Marathon are obvious
The Show is a no-brainer and alleged Days Gone remaster.
More interesting is ''yet to be announced'', so new titles. I expect 1 or 2 titles max perhaps smaller scale/out-sourced next to Venom.
Next year is already stacked full of games on top of third party.

I read somewhere Venom is now a full game releasing after Wolverine in 2027. It leaked a bit later and had new info.

 

[Yurinka]

Obviously. And For Nintendo, PC and mobile too. And I assume that in like 2024, half of the 2025 GOTY candidates will be PS exclusives.

Already announced:

• Death Stranding 2
• Marathon
• GoY
• Convallaria if not released in 2024
• Lost Soul Aside if not released in 2024

Unannounced/with no date revealed but I think are super likely:

• Days Gone Remaster
• Venom
• Interestellar: The Heretic Prophet (SSM new IP)
• Horizon Online
• Firesprite's game, which I assume can be Until Dawn 2

Then add another dozen or so 3rd party (in many cases timed) console exclusives:

• AAA
• AA & indie both western and Asian
• A few of the China Hero Project already announced games

I think are more likely for 2026 or later:

• Next SP ND game (Uncharted with manly ladies 2)
• Fairgames
• Housemarque's next game
• Lego Uncharted/GoW/GoT/GT/etc
• Knack 3 Reknackered

Bluepoint

They are doing support for a new game, pretty likely for the next new SSM (or ND) game

I remember there were two timelines one with Spider-Man online this year on it with Wolverine for 2025. So that one got obviously scrapped. If it's full scale I don't know, I don't see them personally working 4 years on it. From the workflow allocation chart it ends at Q2 2025 for Venom. Timing wise it makes sense in the trail of PS5 Pro, but we have to wait and see, not saying it's impossible could turn out Sony allocated it in a different time slot.

Marathon isn't a PS5 exclusive no matter how you distort the term, unless the Why?box version has been smartly cancelled

What if Bungie can't get the game to run on Series S and the Xbox version has to be delayed? That's a real possibility.

 

[Petekilla]

Because Sony owns Bungie and it’s still a 1st party game. If you don’t want to count Marathon, then you can’t count COD or Doom for MS.

I don't count those games for Xbox I don't think anyone does to be honest.
