Like gamers, the video game industry takes a vacation in the summer. Trips are becoming rarer and it is necessary to wait until the start of the school year in September for the calendar to return to its usual rhythm. On PlayStation 5 – as on other platforms – the end of the year promises to be busy! If you’re wondering what’s coming up at Sony, you’ve come to the right place.
The selection of games in this article is presented to you in chronological order. Good reading !
Saints Row
We’ll immediately start handing in a well-known license, Saints Row, whose new part doesn’t even have a number. The title, developed by Volition and published by Deep Silver, has been announced clear as a reboot and it is not to displease us. With the city of Santo Ileso, in the southwestern United States, as the game setting, the saga will quickly reconnect with the unusual atmosphere and uninhibited gameplay that makes it so distinctive. “In this world (…) where factions fight for power – a group of young friends start their own criminal adventure out of nowhere for glory and success,” explains the official site. Heavy in perspective!

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
We continue with another well-known license, but it returns in a form we didn’t necessarily expect: Lord of the Rings Gollum. You will have understood here – the main hero is Gollum, the creature who drops “my precious” all the time. The adventure allows you to discover details “not yet told” about him, explain to the developers: like his slavery in the Dark Tower or his sojourn with the Elves of the Mirkwood. Moreover, here we are in the presence of an authentic infiltration game – original to Lord of the Rings – with an impact of the choices on the personality of Gollum. Everything promises.

The last of us part 1
Who says busy school says big licenses – and who says big licenses on PS5 say The Last of Us. Yes, the first episode alone has made the Naughty Dog and Sony series a must. In September: Players can discover The Last of Us Part 1, a remake of the original adventures of Ellie and Joel, released in 2013. No script change on the program, but completely reworked visuals, worthy of The Last of Us Part 2! The sets and especially the faces are now more believable than ever. We can’t wait to play it.

A Plague Tale Requiem
Definitely, the end of the year has some nice surprises and next on the list is none other than A Plague Tale Requiem. Yes yes: the sequel to the well-known A Plague Tale Innocence that seduced the press and players when it came out three years ago. So the Asobo studio is back to tell remnants of the adventures of Amicia and Hugo her brother. “Fleeing their painful past, (they, editor’s note) travel south (…) and try to make a fresh start there and master Hugo’s curse,” the developers tell us. Some new sets to discover, this time even more impressive technically. Rats and the plague will be part of it!

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Yes: Like every year, there will be a new Call of Duty before the end of the year. This time it’s Modern Warfare 2, the reboot sequel to Modern Warfare released in 2019 (and not the early 2010s one, don’t get confused). Players are therefore given the opportunity to reconnect with the famous Special Unit 141, three years after the events of the previous opus.

It’s clear that before the end of the year on PS5, it’s impossible to escape God of War Ragnarok, the sequel to the excellent God of War released in 2018. A new episode that was clearly long-awaited, which will mark the continuation of the adventures of Kratos, the God of War – and his son Atreus. And if we know what happened at the end of the last part, we may have a epic story. The two heroes will have to face the dreaded Ragnarok (the end of the world in Norse mythology) and traverse all Nine Kingdoms. In other words, we can’t wait to discover more.

The Callisto protocol
With the end of the year, the low heat will make us shiver, but something else will be the cause. We’re talking, of course, about The Callisto Protocol, a new horror game from Glen Schofield, creator of the legendary Dead Space series. The man thus marks a return to everything that has made him successful in the past: lonely fear in space, against highly aggressive monsters. “The player will embody Jacob Lee, a man who is a victim of his fate and has been sent to rot in the Black Iron prison, a maximum security prison on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter,” the man and his studio explain. . It is sure to be a new reference of the genre to be announced!

On the program a new game engine, completely renewed 3D models, full dubbing and new musical arrangements.
