Neither, but Housemarque’s Returnal follow-up Saros revealed.
What is the state of play?
What are we likely to see tonight?
We haven’t seen either for a while and both are expected to release this year.
Could we also be in for a glimpse of Insomniac’s Wolverine?
And what is remake specialist Bluepoint up to?
What of the third-party games, too?
Much to wonder about.
Our live coverage of this event has finished.
Huh, what, who!
Here we are again, awaiting the unexpected, hoping to be thrilled.
Hoping, perhaps beyond hope, that Sony announces Bloodborne 2.
A remastered God of War Collection?
I’d play that.
Oh my good god.
The world is not ready for Knack remake.
Incidentally, sorry about this auto-scroll problem.
I’ll raise the issue and see that it gets looked at.
10 minutes to go.
I hope it’s a good show.
How’s everybody doing this evening?
Have you all got some nice refreshments or snacks?
I’ve just had a wee glass of rakia from Buglaria.
I’m pretty sure one of my partner’s friends made it.
God knows how strong it is; very strong, by the taste of it.
Lively, you might say.
Guesses for what’s up first - big start?
Boo for school nights!
Everyone seems to make their own.
People just bring repurposed bottles of the stuff over and hand it to you.
The show begins
Okay buckle up - here we go.
The show is about to begin.
Not far off now of course.
And it’s looking good.
Can it appeal wider than to a Monster Hunter audience though?
That’s it for Monster Hunter.
A functional start to the show.
From the creators of Streets of Rage 4 - Dotemu.
New 2D Shinobi game by Dotemu revealed
2D, platforming, crispy cartoon art.

Oh god there’s a new Digimon game
Bandai Namco now and a bright anime cityscape.
Oh gods its Digimon.
There’s a new Digimon game.
Digimon Story: The Stranger, it’s called.
How’s that for an edgy title?
It’s coming 2025.
This looks very Final Fantasy.
It’s a very handsome game we’re seeing now - a mix of futuristic and fantasay.
Wings sprouting from trenchcoats.
It’s a full action game by the looks of things.
Lost Soul Aside, it’s called.
It’s coming out 30th May.
Oh it could be!
Whoops just toally glossed over the wrestling game there.
It’s out pretty soon, so that makes me feel better at least.
There’s Randy Pitchford and Borderlands 4 again.
It looks pretty good; I like the soundtrack.
Come on, Sony, show us the good stuff!
I don’t think we’ll live report that one.
Borderlands 4 releases 23rd September.
Victoria’s just been away seeing Split Fiction, this new game from Josef Fares' studio Hazelight.
Look out for her impressions soon!
It’s a sci-fi game by the look of things - things going wrong on a space station.
The story seems to revolve around humans finding a strange biological thing and it slowly taking them over.
Directive 8020 it’s called, and it’s coming out 2nd October.
Is that like Beverley Hills 90210?
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic coming 13th June.
The Midnight Walk it’s called, and it’s coming 8th May.
Oh it does - very much so!
A Roguelike Warriors game from Tecmo Koei now called Warriors Abyss.
Did you hear that Tecmo Koei’s CEO of 47 stepped down the other day?
That’s longer than I’ve worked at Eurogamer.
That’s out today by the way.
Samurai are certainlyen vogueat the moment.
MGS 3 remake coming 8th August
Hello hello hello, who is this head-tie wearing grizzled soldier?
Why it looks a lot like Solid Snake.
This certainly doesn’t look like Death Stranding 2.
This is, of course, the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.
Coming 28th August, if I’ve read my American dates right.
Hell is Us releases 4th September
What is this curious game we’re seeing?
It looks very strange.
Ah, Hell is Us, coming 4th September - a strange action adventure.
This looks like Lies of P now.
Lies of P: Overture it’s called and it’s coming this summer.
PixelJunk now, which I sort of forgot was still aroind.
This game is made by Baiyon, whoever that is.
Dreams of Another, it’s called, coincidentally, and it’s coming in 2025.
Oh here is Baiyon now, talking to camera, telling us about the content of the game.
It’s built using something called point of cloud rendering technology - dunno.
Days Gone: Remastered now.
It’s got bigger hordes and all sorts, it sounds like.
It’s coming 25th April.
The first episode comes out 18th February.
Tom Phillips is very excited about this.
Oh, and Blue Prince will launch day one on PS Plus too.
I played this last year and it’s going to be a banger.
We could do with an exciting announcement now, for sure.
Eclipse Glow Games now, and a character doing a terrible English accent.
A strange fantasy world and some incredible vistas with titanic enemies in.
It’s an action game of sorts that looks much more pedestrian outside of its cutscenes.
Tides of Annihilation it’s called.
No release date yet.
A techno first-person shooter now, which seems to be all out action in stylish futuristic hallways.
Oh, there’s some wall-running.
Metal Eden it’s called, and it’s out 6th May.
IOI Partners now and Build A Rocket Boy, and a cinematic army game with a futuristic bent.
Oh, it’s from former Rockstar man Leslie Benzies.
Androids chasing humans, EMPs going off.
It’s coming out this summer.
Oh and there’s Leslie Benzies.
He’s a suave looking chap.
We’re going to see some gameplay no.
Spotted: taking cover behind a car.
Spotted: shooting a car’s bonnet until it blows up.
Spotted: a small mech.
Spotted: another explosion.
So it’s a game about explosions.
They look up at an eclipse, saying, “Every time the sun dies, madness reigns.
Then everything begins again.”
Saros, this is called.
Holy shit it’s Housemarque!
It’s a new single-player IP that builds on Returnal’s action, Housemarque tells us.
New character but similar gameplay principles, it sounds like - ‘come back stronger’ being the tagline.
Looking forward to that.
Show ends
And that’s it.
Gosh I keep meaning to go back but new things keep getting in the way!
Oh man, I hate to break it to you…
Ah, thank you - thank you all!
It can’t be.
I’ll eat my words if it is.
I’m seeing lots of love for the octopus game!
Goodnight and goodnight one and all.
Thanks for joining us and making this a bit more bearable.
Some things to look forward to, others to let slip by, maybe.
Plenty to look forward to in the coming days and weeks, anyway.
