The company has promised fans a look at a number of VR 2 games as well as some third-party titles for PS5. The most important thing they are planning to show off during this showcase is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice league. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-rocksteady-games-announced-to-give-an-extended-look-at-suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-during-the-upcoming-state-of-play-event/] Rocksteady’s Superhero game would have a big presence during this showcase. But there are very less details on what else fans can expect. So here we list some games we are expecting to see during Sony’s latest State of Play event. HALF-LIFE ALYX FOR PLAYSTATION VR2 PS VR2 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation-vr2/] has already seen a bunch of excellent titles. From Horizon Call of the Mountain to Resident Evil 8 VR, there’s no shortage of good games on this platform. But, to this day, fans consider Half-Life Alyx as the ultimate VR game. PlayStation [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/halflife_alyx_wallpaper.jpg] And now, fans are hoping to see this game get announced for PlayStation VR2. FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Final Fantasy VII Remake launched for PlayStation consoles and PC a while ago. The game was lauded for its lifelike visuals and improved gameplay mechanics. But Square Enix had made it clear that two sequels would follow that game.

It is expected that they would get that glimpse during this upcoming State of Play showcase. HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG Hollow Knight is now known as one of the best side-scrolling souls-like Metroidvania. The game was beautifully made and featured fast-paced combat. Alongside that combat came a bunch of souls-like elements. You lose your currency when you die and such. This game was so successful that the developers instantly announced a sequel. That sequel was named Hollow Knight Silksong, and fans have seen a lot of it already. What remains now is the release date, and that’s what fans are expecting to see during this upcoming showcase. STELLAR BLADE Stellar Blade was announced long ago for PlayStation 5. This is a classic hack-and-slash action title in line with Metal Gear Solid Revengeance. The game looks good enough for fans to await it eagerly.
