Summer gaming season is officially underway with Sony’s May State of Play event. While it wasn’t a grand presentation, it did give us some exciting game reveals for the summer. One noteworthy reveal was Firewalk’s Concord, along with a gameplay trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds and a new Astro Bot. Additionally, we were treated to 15 minutes of fresh footage from the Silent Hill 2 Remake during the Silent Hill Transmission. The new version of the game has a more modern look, reminiscent of Resident Evil 4, but the art design still captures the essence of Silent Hill.
Looking ahead to next week, there are more exciting announcements to anticipate. A new Black Ops game is on the horizon, along with more information on a new Assassin’s Creed installment. Fans of Indiana Jones and Bioshock might also be in for a treat, as well as those eagerly waiting for updates on Xbox titles like Perfect Dark and Fable. Personally, I’m hoping to see Dragon Age: Dreadwolf make an appearance at some point.
In other news, I’ll be attending DreamHack Dallas this weekend, where I’ll have the opportunity to watch professional gamers showcase their skills. If time permits, I’m looking forward to trying out Senua’s Saga and XDefiant, and I might even make room for The Rogue Prince of Persia if I can’t resist a good Prince fix.
