Another "State of Play" stream is in the books and the results are a little mixed. While Sony is getting a little better at sneaking in some unexpected news, the streams still lack the personality and shock value of a Nintendo Direct. I will admit that the fakeout with Resident Evil Resistance did get me, though that's mostly because I woke up well before I normally do.
At any rate, there were some pretty good announcements made during this short stream. We got confirmation of a few rumors (Resident Evil 3, Untitled Goose Game, Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind), a short look at Platinum's next title, and even a tease for Ghost of Tsushima. The Game Awards can't get here soon enough!
Untitled Goose Game will be heading to PS4 on December 17, 2019. Developer House House has confirmed it will also be coming to Xbox One on the same day.
Spellbreak is a new battle royale title developed by Proletariat, a company made up of video game industry veterans. It looks to mix spellcraft with basic first-person combat. A closed beta will be happening next year on PS4. You can check out TheGamer's full coverage for more information.
Media Molecule's Dreams has been confirmed for release on February 14, 2020. The make it yourself game engine, the trailer shown during "State of Play" took a look at how basically anything can be crafted with the tools available.
Superliminal is some trippy indie game about magic or something. It's very reminiscent of The Stanley Parable. We didn't really get enough of a teaser to figure everything out, but it was exactly long enough to conjure up memories of a Simpsons skit.
Paper Beast is a new VR sandbox game coming to the PS4 in Q1 2020. Developed by Pixelreef, it seems that players will be taking care of origami creatures and causing general mayhem as they mold the environment to their liking.
Square Enix confirmed all of the information from last weekend's leak about Kingdom Hearts 3 Re:Mind's release. It will be coming to PS4 in late January (with an Xbox One release a month later) for $29.99. A digital deluxe edition for $39.99 will include a 19-track concert video from the recent concert tour.
Sony gave us another short look at Predator: Hunting Grounds. The asymmetrical multiplayer shooter will be heading to PS4 on April 24, 2020.
Square Enix and Platinum Games are teaming up again for another action title. Called Babylon's Fall, we were given a very Nier-esque trailer that didn't reveal much about plot details. It does look exciting, though. You can check out our full coverage here.
Capcom went ahead and confirmed the existence of Resident Evil 3's remake. In a nice fakeout, the "State of Play" announcer revealed it as "the campaign portion of Resident Evil Resistance," which confirms that the game will have a full multiplayer mode. It will be heading to PS4 (and presumably Xbox One and PC) on April 3, 2020. For more information, click here.
Finally, we got exactly one minute of Ghost of Tsushima footage with a teaser for more at The Game Awards. It still looks breathtaking, but it's not exactly enlightening news. We'll just have to be patient until Thursday when we'll see more -and hopefully get a release date-.
