On the morning of September 25th, Sony's latest State of Play conference was held as scheduled, and the latest news of 10 game products was further revealed, including first-party masterpieces such as Tsushima's sequel "Ghost of Yoteiyama", as well as third-party masterpieces such as Capcom's "Monster Hunter: Wildlands".

For console gamers, this issue of State of Play is a bit of a surprise, but it's just a little bit and not much. Judging from the feedback of players in major community forums, players still regret the absence of new works from ace studios such as Sony Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, and the announced products did not bring them much passion.

First of all, let's take a look at the new games.

"Monster Hunter: Wildlands" was officially announced to be officially released on February 28 next year, and the pre-sale has started on Steam. As the orthodox sequel to Capcom's "Monster Hunt", the ace IP, "Monster Hunter: Wildlands" has received continuous attention from players as soon as it was exposed, especially since it is rumored that this game design adopts an open world game that has also whetted the appetite of players, which is the first time on the IP of Monster Hunt.

Capcom also started intensive publicity and distribution work for this work this year,In August, the introduction videos of major weapons were hundreds of thousands or even millions of views on station B,And it has triggered a boom in the dismantling of weapon systems and action modules by many monster hunting enthusiasts,The actual machine demonstration at the Cologne Game Show further ignited the enthusiasm of players。 By any measure, Monster Hunter: Wildlands is one of the most anticipated titles for next year.

The sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yōtei, was probably the biggest surprise of the event.

The previous work "Ghost of Tsushima" was developed by Sony's first-party studio Sucker Punch, released on the PS4 platform in July 2020, and officially announced that the sales exceeded 5 million copies in November of that year, setting a new record for the fastest sales of Sony's first-party original innovative IP exclusive game on PS4, and on December 8 of the same year, it won the TGA2020 "Player's Voice" award, which can be said to be a typical "applauded and applauded" good product. In May of this year, the work also ended the exclusivity of the PS platform and officially landed on the PC platform, which also received unanimous praise from players.

For such a "popular and popular" product, Sony naturally did not give up on developing a sequel for this IP. In recent years, although news about the sequel to Tsushima has been circulating, there has never been any accurate information, and no one knows what this rumored sequel looks like.

It is precisely for this reason that the first exposure of "The Soul of Mt. Yotei" as a sequel to Tsushima Island this morning is particularly eye-catching. According to the actual demo of the press conference,The story background of this work is set in 300 years after the end of the story of Tsushima Island,The place where the story takes place has become"Yotei Mountain",The protagonist controlled by the player has also become a woman,Plus the continuation of the exquisite art picture of the previous work,"The Soul of Yotei Mountain" can be said to inherit the advantages of the previous work,As for whether it surpasses the previous work,You can only wait for the player to judge after the game is released。

The game will be officially released next year, although no specific date has been announced, but the first reveal will announce the approximate release date and it is not too long, players just have to wait quietly.

In addition, the latest news of several VR games has also been announced.

One is Metro: Awakening by Vertigo Games. Veteran console gamers will be familiar with the "Metro" IP, 4A Games' Metro trilogy (Metro 2033, Metro: Last Dawn, Metro: Departed) has a large number of fans, the game is adapted from the novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, which tells the story of the protagonist Artyom and his friends as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

Vertigo Games chose to extend the story and move it to the VR platform, judging from the actual demonstration, the oppressive horror atmosphere of the IP series has been more vividly interpreted after being blessed by VR in "Metro: Awakening", and many players even expect this game to surpass the VR masterpiece "Half-Life: ALYX". The work will also be officially released on November 7.

According to the official introduction, Hitman: Assassination World brings together the best content of Hitman, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3, including the main campaign, contract mode, upgrade contract, elusive target arcade mode and featured online content; At the same time, the game introduces a new "double swing" mechanic, which allows players to use two weapons or items at the same time, bringing some different experiences with the blessing of VR platform technology. It was also officially confirmed that the game will be available on the PSVR 2 platform.

Midnight Walk, the new game from the developers of Lost in Random, has been announced. Players will travel through a world of conflict full of wonders and horrors. The game will also be released on PS5 and PS VR2 in the spring of 2025.

In addition to the above products, the latest developments of some blockbuster products should be made public.

As a big IP under Sony, 2 of the main works of the "Horizon" series have been released, and this reproduction of "Horizon: Dawn of Zero" is the first product released in the IP series in 2017.

There are also "Phantom Beast Palu" officially released on PS5 today, "Luna Remastered Collection" was released for the first time, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge" DLC is also officially released today.

Overall, the biggest highlight of the whole press conference may be the announcement of the release date of "Monster Hunter: Wildlands" and the first exposure of "The Spirit of Mt. Yotei". One is an orthodox sequel to a classic hit IP, with a huge fan base around the world; One is another first-party new IP that Sony has successfully incubated in recent years, and it also has a lot of fans.

But the players are clearly not satisfied. Judging from the major community forums, although the sequel to "Monster Hunt" and Tsushima Island is a surprise, in addition, they also want to see the latest product news from Sony Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, which are Sony's first-party ace studios. Especially Naughty Dog, it has been more than 4 years since the PS5 was released, but none of the new works have been logged into the current generation of consoles, only the reproduction of IP works related to "The Last of Us" and "Uncharted", which disappointed players.
