After months of anticipation, the next major PlayStation Showcase has not only arrived, but it has also delivered some updates on key updates on games new and old. From the first gameplay reveal of God of War Ragnarok to the announcements of Marvel's Spider-Man AND Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games, there were some big moments throughout the show.
From the previously mentioned games to the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake to Forspoken and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and more, we have gathered all the biggest news and trailers below to help make sure you don't miss a single one.
The sequel to 2018's God of War is officially called God of War: Ragnarok, and Sony revealed a brand-new gameplay trailer to show much more of Kratos and Atreus' new adventure. Unfortunately, there was no release date mentioned.
God of War Ragnarok takes place a few years after 2018's God of War and the trailer shows that there is still some strife between Kratos and Atreus. Atreus wants to explore what it means to actually be Loki and have "Giant heritage."
However, Kratos knows how dangerous that path Atreus wants to walk down is and wants to protect him from harm, which will include antagonists like Freya and Thor.
Insomniac Games revealed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be arriving on PS5 in 2023, and its first gameplay trailer revealed that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales will be facing off against Venom.
Alongside returning voice actors Yuri Lowenthal (Peter Parker) and Nadji Jeter (Miles Morales, it was also confirmed that Candyman's Tony Todd will voice Venom.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is not only one of the best Star Wars games around, but it's also the favorite game of many around the world. Now, Lucasfilm and Aspyr are bringing a remake of the classic game that first arrived on Xbox in 2003 to PS5, where it will launch as a console exclusive.
This new remake is being developed by not only industry veterans, but also some of the original team members of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
While it was just a brief glimpse, Spider-Man and Ratchet and Clank developer Insomniac Games announced it is working on Marvel's Wolverine for PS5.
This new game is being directed by Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales' Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, and Insomniac's goal is to "not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit."
Project EVE received a new gameplay trailer that showed a ton of hack-and-slash action that looked gorgeous in motion. Project Eve takes place in the near-future and "To win back Earth, the player becomes Eve, the survivor of the paratrooper squad deployed from the Colony, who must fight through powerful enemies with new comrades."
The PlayStation Showcase gave us our best look at Tiny Tina's Wonderlands gameplay alongside revealing a release date of March 25, 2022.
We catch a glimpse of some of the "epic settings" of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, which include everything from "majestic towns to mushroom forests, foreboding fortresses, and more." There will also be an "interactive tabletop zone, which players can explore as they discover dynamic encounters and traverse between all key locations. Old school J-RPG fans, we see you."
Also, in a departure from Borderlands, players will be able to create their own hero in-game, that features a "multiclass system that lets you mix and match six unique character skill trees, all with their own awesome abilities." There will also be a ton of customization options
Forspoken, which will arrive on PS5 in Spring 2022, got a new gameplay trailer that showed off Dragons, Magic, and story details.

Alan Wake Remastered was already announced, but we now have our first look at gameplay and an October 5, 2021 release date.
