Sony’s first PlayStation State of Play of 2024 kicked off with a bang on Wednesday, announcing first-look footage and the biggest releases coming to the console in the coming months.
In the 43-minute presentation, Sony presented a remake of “Until Dawn” for PlayStation 5, a PlayStation version of “Dave the Diver” (with Godzilla) and footage from Capcom’s “Dragon’s Dogma II,” among other things.
However, these headlines pale in comparison to the biggest news of the day, from Hideo Kojima’s new project to Ken Levine’s long-awaited BioShock sequel. Here are the five most important takeaways from the current situation.
“Starblade”
The first big taste was “Stellar Blade,” Shiftup’s tale of a post-apocalyptic Earth in which a mysterious Demogorgon-like enemy force called the NA:tive has forced humans to flee to an extraterrestrial colony.
Players take on the role of paratrooper Eve, along with her companions Adam and Lily, on their journey to save humanity from extinction. The preview revealed gameplay mechanics such as the skill tree, gear upgrades, and key locations such as the underground city of Zeon. Eve often encounters people in need and players can choose whether to help them or ignore them. The game will be released on April 26th.
“silent hill”
There have been two big announcements from Konami in the Silent Hill universe. The first, free-to-play title Silent Hill: The Short Message was released on PlayStation 5 for a same-day release.

He is plagued by a letter from a friend that he cannot leave his prison until he finds what he is looking for.
A trailer for the PS5 remake Silent Hill 2 was also released, but no release date was announced.
“very”
BioShock creator Ken Levine’s latest game, Judas, has released a new story trailer In it, a silver-haired young woman asks, “What if I told you that your every word would be recorded?” Did you have every thought? Your love, your fear, your hate were planted in your brain like weeds in a garden.” What would you do to yourself? We both know the answer to that question: no.
Gameplay footage of the first-person shooter shows hostile robots, painting accidents, and a dinosaur with a gun and a cowboy hat. A release date has not been announced.
“Rise of the Ronin”
A new gameplay overview for Rise of the Ronin, which launched exclusively on PS5 on March 22nd, revealed impressive traversal mechanics that allow the protagonist to run, climb, slide and ride horses.
Japanese longswords were now combined with imported weapons in battle. Players can also advance with innovations like the fire whistle, which is a piece of ancient technology like a flamethrower.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and more from Hideo Kojima IP
In an eerie trailer for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Lea Seydoux’s crush reveals that she leads a new civilian group called Drawbridge. “You brought America together,” he told Sam Norman Reedus. “But I’m afraid the death stranding is not over yet. Humanity is still in danger. It is still on the verge of extinction.”
The nearly ten-minute trailer features numerous bizarre images, from a doll-like creature clinging to Sam’s waist to Troy Baker’s Higgs struggling with an electric guitar. The game, which also stars Elle Fanning, will be released in 2025.
Following the trailer, legendary game developer Hideo Kojima unveiled his new espionage action IP “Ficint” with PlayStation Studio boss Herman Hulst. Although little was revealed about the project’s content, Kojima tweeted: “Obviously it’s an interactive game, but the look, story, theme, cast, acting, costumes, sounds, etc. are all “the next level of digital entertainment. “What can be called a “movie”.” As the score ends, the camera zooms out to reveal a “Fagint” logo under the Columbia Pictures sign…whatever that means.
