Every day one release we expect for PlayStation 5.

What will be the PS5’s launch lineup? While Sony’s shared some details about its next-gen device, it’s stopped short of revealing any software for the PlayStation 5 thus far. Of course, if the system is set to release in 2020, then developers will already be hard at work creating titles for the anticipated appliance. In this article we’re going to share our predicted roster of day one releases for the Japanese giant’s next home console.

All Predicted PS5 Launch Games

• Assassin’s Creed: Kingdom: A Viking-themed open world game set in the Assassin’s Creed series is known to be in development ahead of release next year.

• Call of Duty 2020: Treyarch will take the reins of Call of Duty 2020, despite releasing Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in 2018. It means the franchise’s flagship developer will have a shot at a PS5 launch game.
• Cyberpunk 2077: One of the PS4’s last meaningful releases is all but guaranteed to get a PS5 upgrade, but will it be available at launch?
• Death Stranding: Hideo Kojima’s no stranger to re-releases, and with a PC version of Death Stranding presumably also planned, don’t be surprised to see a Definitive Edition of the hiking sim deploy on PS5.
• Dreams: A game this good deserves to live as long as possible, and we fully expect Dreams – which should finally be finished on PS4 by the time the PS5 launches – to get ported over as promptly as possible.
• Dying Light 2: We know that a PS5 version of Dying Light 2 is in development, and Techland is an extremely efficient studio that should be able to capitalise on next-gen enthusiasm.
• eFootball PES 2021: Pro Evolution Soccer missed the PS4 launch, but the series seems to be in a much better place these days. We’d expect the next iteration of eFootball on day one.
• FIFA 21: As if FIFA 21 is going to miss the PS5’s launch lineup. This one will likely be available on the PS4 at the beginning of the season, but expect a big upgrade for PS5 at launch.
• Final Fantasy VII Remake: Much like Cyberpunk 2077, this will depend on exactly how the PS5 handles backwards compatibility. Would you count out Final Fantasy VII Remake at launch?
• Ghost of Tsushima: Despite being announced for the PS4, this could be the PS5’s flagship launch title. Expect a cross-gen release similar to Breath of the Wild.
• Rainbow Six: Quarantine: Like so many of Ubisoft’s titles, its tactical co-op shooter is in development for the PS5 and could look to establish an audience at launch.
• Gods & Monsters: The whimsical storybook adventure game from the creators of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is in development for the PS5, and would make a standout launch title.
• Gran Turismo 7: Gran Turismo Sport has laid the foundations, and the PS5 will need a good racing game at launch. With a single player campaign added to the e-sports aspect, this could be a big launch title.
• Guerrilla Multiplayer Shooter: Sony’s said it wants to explore more multiplayer games, and it’s re-recruited one of Rainbow Six: Siege’s top dogs at Guerrilla Games. Expect some kind of shooter at launch.
• Just Dance 2021: We probably won’t even bother reviewing this one, but Ubisoft loves a launch lineup, and if there’s a camera for PS5, you can count on Just Dance making the roster.
• Madden NFL 21: You can pretty much bank on all the annual sports games making the PS5’s launch lineup, and Madden NFL 21 will be no different.
• NBA 2K21: 2K Sports’ basketball sim is one of the best looking series on the market, and it’ll be fascinating to see how it’s upgraded for the PS5.
• NBA Live 21: EA Sports opted to cancel NBA Live 20 in order to focus its efforts on the PS5, so expect this to be a launch title on the next-gen console.
• The Last of Us: Part II: It’s going to get ported to the PS5 at some point, we’ll just need to wait and see whether The Last of Us: Part II is ready to roll at launch.
• Watch Dogs Legion: Given the calibre of the software around it, Watch Dogs Legion could get overlooked when it launches on PS4 in March. Ubisoft could give it another shot by re-releasing it alongside the PS5.

This is our predicted PS5 launch lineup, but do you agree with our picks? Which titles would you pick up day one from this selection? Make your picks in the comments section below.

Bloc Party.

Isn’t this just the sweetest? A young 10-year-old girl who goes by the name of Yeva Codes on Twitter has posted her Halloween costume online along with whom we assume are her siblings. They’re dressed up as the blocks you need to hit in order to score points in Beat Saber, and it’s all a little bit adorable.

The Twitter clip above is just a short snapshot of the full video, which can be viewed through here. Taking a look at the Twitter account in question, however, reveals some fairly fascinating facts. Yeva is a young coder making VR games and has combined the two to teach coding in virtual reality. That’s an impressive feat at any age, but for a 10-year-old to get something like this off the ground is incredibly admirable. Nice one Yeva!

Good night, good luck.

With a release window of Spring 2020, Dying Light 2 could be considered a game that’s floating a little bit under the radar. It’ll launch around the same time as Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us: Part II following its unexpected delay, but that doesn’t mean this open-world zombie survival simulator is an undertaking you should pass on. In fact, following the incredible experience that its predecessor had to offer, this is one you need to be keeping your eye on. To discuss Dying Light 2 in greater depth, we were lucky enough to catch up with lead game designer Tymon Smektala at EGX 2019 to talk narrative, choices, and the PlayStation 5.

Push Square: The original Dying Light was very much focused on combat and parkour, but with the sequel it seems like you’ve brought the narrative into it to become such an important core pillar. What inspired that choice?

But not an Undead Nightmare.

Running from now until the 12th November, Red Dead Online’s new Fear of the Dark multiplayer mode sounds like an interesting take on its often intense player versus player encounters. It pits a team of ‘Night Stalkers’ against a team of hunters, but the twist is that the Night Stalkers are “supernaturally fast, tough, and strong”.

We’ll be waiting a while.

EA has provided an update on the development of Dragon Age 4, and it’s not good news for anyone who was hoping to play BioWare’s next big RPG any time soon. Of course, it’s going to be a PlayStation 5 game, but it’s not set to release for a good couple of years.

During its latest earnings call, EA stated that while the next entry in the Dragon Age franchise is indeed in production, it won’t launch until after its fiscal year for 2022. In layman’s terms, this means it won’t hit PS5 until at least April 2022. Originally announced at The Game Awards 2018, the follow-up to Dragon Age: Inquisition was clearly a long ways off after its minute-long teaser trailer showed pretty much nothing of the actual game. This news only further backs that up as the developer struggles to work out what to do with ANTHEM.

And others.

Sony may be preparing for the release of the PlayStation 5 in Holiday 2020, but that’s not stopped it from thinking about the future. Over in Japan, the manufacturer has filed trademarks for the PS6, PS7, PS8, PS9, and PS10. This is obviously just security, but it’s still rather amusing to see; realistically, we wouldn’t expect a hypothetical PlayStation 10 to launch until 2055 or so.

What would a PS10 even look like? Will we still be playing games with a traditional DualShock controller, or will we connect the console directly to our brains? Seriously, though, will classic games systems even exist that far into the future? Streaming looks set to upset the current model, so it’s perfectly possible that the PlayStation of the future will merely be an app.

The Phantom Thieves strike again.

If you were expecting Persona 5 Royal to be even longer than Persona 5 — which is already an incredibly lengthy game sitting at around 80 to 100 hours — then you may be happy (or unhappy) to know that Atlus has spoken out on the subject. According to the developer, Persona 5 Royal will be about as long as the original, despite the fact that it incorporates a load of new stuff like additional social scenes and expanded gameplay mechanics.

Lord have Mercy.

Blizzard will be hoping that the announcement of Overwatch 2 will ease tensions at convention BlizzCon later this week, after the company recently came under intense scrutiny for suspending a professional Hearthstone player who spoke out in support of Hong Kong. According to ESPN, the next iteration of the organisation’s first-person shooter will include new game modes, maps, heroes, and PvE gameplay options.

The broadcaster, which obtained a document detailing the unannounced sequel, claims that “Hero talents and in-game talents are coming to PvE, and one of the missions will be a four-player story experience set in Rio de Janeiro”. Apparently, there’ll be a greater emphasis on narrative this time, though a fresh multiplayer mode named ‘Push’ will join the release’s ranks. You should expect the unveiling of a new Hero during BlizzCon as well, with attendees at the Anaheim Convention Centre able to go hands on with the sequel this weekend.

Plus Harada customisation items.

Despite its undeniable popularity as a fighting game, Tekken 7 has never provided players with much in the way of a tutorial or any in-depth training modes. In particular, a lot of people have been asking for in-game frame data since launch, but the development team — more specifically, Tekken godfather Katsuhiro Harada — has always been against the idea.

Spoilers, obviously.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare attempts to paint a harrowing picture of the realities of war, which means there are a fair few disturbing moments in the campaign. One segment – featuring a raid on a house in Camden Town – sees you skulking up stairs, sneaking in the shadows, and hopefully holding your fire.

In one room, you’ll stumble upon a mother who sprints over to a cot to pick up her crying baby. The context in this mission is that anyone can be a bad guy, so while the parent may seem innocent, you need to decide whether you’re going to shoot or not. Eliminate her and she’ll slump to the floor with her baby still crying, but what if you target the child?
