With the announcement of Sony’s State of Play press conference, it was revealed that they would be showcasing a number of upcoming games.
The “sony state of play 2022 announcements” is a list of upcoming games that Sony will be releasing in the future. The list includes new releases and exclusives coming soon to PlayStation 4, as well as some older titles being remastered for the current generation consoles.
Sony indicated earlier this week that a State of Play will be held today, and they did. They claimed they’d include largely Japanese publishers in the same announcement, and that’s precisely what we got. Capcom and Bandai Namco are two of the most well-known of these publishers, but Square Enix was the clear winner. Here are all of the games mentioned in the Sony State of Play for March 2022.
Sony’s State of Play has 12 games (March 2022)
1. The exoprimal
Exoprimal, a new IP from Capcom, is the first game to emerge during the State of Play. The unveiling teaser misled fans into believing that we’d finally get a contemporary Dino Crisis game, however this isn’t the case. Instead, we’ll be receiving a new game that seems eerily identical to it. Imagine shooting a T-Rex and a swarm of furious Velociraptors in a game like Left 4 Dead or Back 4 Blood, except instead of zombies, you’re firing at a T-Rex and a swarm of angry Velociraptors. That’s the vibe we’re getting from the trailer, and we’re on board with that. Exoprimal will be available in 2023.
2. Tokyo Ghostwire
A new trailer for Ghostwire: Tokyo has been released, showcasing more of the protagonist’s combat skills outside of the Shinto-based magic he can use. This new teaser has been released to promote the game’s upcoming release later this month. If you’re curious in the game’s backstory and want to learn more about it before diving into the game, you may play the prologue visual novel game for free on the Sony Play Store.
3. Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise
The first Square Enix title to emerge in this State of Play is a game that will be released later this month. Another trailer for Team Ninja’s Nioh-like Stranger of Paradise was released, and there was no lack of – you guessed it – Chaos.
4. Directed
Fans shouldn’t be too concerned about Forspoken’s current postponement. Fans will undoubtedly be wowed by the new IP’s dazzling aesthetics and original and exciting gameplay. It turns out that the game need a little more time in the oven for further QA and polish, since they most likely discovered some performance problems that need to be addressed. However, despite the delay, releasing a new trailer is a positive thing, as it signifies Forspoken has gone gold and the project is in excellent hands — they simply need more time for quality assurance.
Gundam Evolution is number five.
This is one of those games that caught us off guard; we had no clue Bandai Namco was working on anything similar. We’re not sure whether Gundam Evolution is a good thing since it seems like a re-skinned Overwatch game. Given the capability of the systems it’s planned to be released on, the game already seems old, but we’re hoping that the gameplay will more than make up for that. Later this year, Gundam Evolution will be released.
6. The Cowabunga Collection (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
We’d been so fixated on the new (yet-to-be-announced) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that when this video began playing, we honestly believed it was the end. However, it turns out that we’ll be receiving a vintage classic collection of TMNT games from the past, including the arcade classic and the original Game Boy game. TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection will be released in 2022.
Gigabash is number seven.
There are many of games about kaiju, but they seldom live up to the reputation of the figures they represent. Gigabash aspires to create a combat brawler game in which kaijus such as Godzilla and Megazord battle tokusatsu figures such as Ultraman. If you’re interested in Japanese culture, you’ll enjoy this game. Meanwhile, for anybody who is still a child at heart and enjoys seeing monsters cause mayhem, this is a fun game to play. Gigabash will be released in 2022.
8. All-Star Battle of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure R
This turned out to be a wonderful surprise. Another fighting game is coming to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, the first since Last Survivor in 2019. This game, like the others in the JoJo series, focuses on a certain chapter of the story. Jolyne Cujoh, the heroine of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s sixth part — the first with a female lead – is the center of All-Star Battle R. This Fall 2022, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle R will be released.
Yomi is number nine on the list of places to visit.
It’s like Ghost of Tsushima with Akira Kurosawa’s iconic Japanese samurai film black-and-white coat as the default filter. And what if Ghost of Tsushima was played in 2D rather than 3D? This game seems to be out of place in terms of context, since it is one of only two games on this list that was not produced or released by a Japanese business. Still, who could say no to a Devolver Digital title? Trek to Yomi will be released in Spring 2022.
Returnal: Ascension Free Update is number ten.
Returnal is another game not made by a Japanese company, but it’s nearly associated with the PS5, so why would Sony overlook it this time? On March 22, Returnal will get a huge upgrade. Above all, a co-op survival mode will be introduced to Returnal: Ascension, making the lonely looping experience less awful.
“Square Enix State of Play” is a game developed by Square Enix.
The Diofield Chronicle is number eleven.
The major weapons were kept for the last two entries in Sony’s State of Play, both of which come from SquareEnix. The first is Square Enix’s take on the real-time tactical strategy RPG genre, which has been popularized in the West thanks to titles like Pillars of Eternity and Dragon Age. Diofield Chronicle is what Triangle Strategy would be like if it was played in a Western CRPG manner — everything with Square Enix flair but with new and exciting Western gameplay. It’s worth keeping an eye on this one. The Diofield Chronicle will be released in 2022.
12. Elysium Valkyrie
Finally, we’re witnessing the return of one of Square Enix’s most popular IPs, which hasn’t seen a new game in a long time. Although fans of the Valkyrie Profile series like it, the game’s turn-based mechanisms may not be up to date with today’s video game tastes. As a result, a relaunch of the series is in order, with the new title of Valkyrie Elysium. Square Enix’s latest take on the Valkyrie Profile brand ditches the turn-based gameplay in favor of real-time battling, while keeping Valkyrie’s gorgeous design. What a great approach to honor Women’s Month by highlighting some of the most strong female characters in video games.
And there you have it: the full list of all 12 titles included in this month’s Square Enix – sorry, Sony State of Play. Look for more articles and gaming news on these games as we go through the months, since all of them, with the exception of Exoprimal, are scheduled to be launched this year. What a year it’s been for Square Enix and the PlayStation.
