• Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy Being Remastered for PC and PS5

    Uncharted 4 and Uncharted: Lost Legacy are being remastered, with a PS5 version in the works from Naughty Dog and a PC version coming "shortly after" from Iron Galaxy.

    Revealed at today's PlayStation Showcase event, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will feature enhanced versions of both of the Naughty Dog adventures release for PS4. You can see some of the screenshots from the next-gen remaster just below.

    Uncharted 4 was first released back in 2016, which we awarded a 9/10 in our review. Uncharted: Lost Legacy, a side-story of sorts, was released the following year.

    Sony has been investing more heavily in porting its exclusives to PC in the last year, and even bought Dutch studio Nixxes to assist with that move. Apparently, Epic previously offered $200 million to make that happen, but Sony seems to have gone in a different direction.

    The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will release in early 2022.

    Insomniac Is Making Marvel’s Wolverine

    In a surprise reveal at today's PlayStation Showcase, Spider-Man and Ratchet & Clank developer Insomniac Games revealed that it has a Wolverine game in development for PS5, seemingly titled simple Marvel's Wolverine.

    The reveal was done via a very brief teaser trailer, in which we see Wolverine in a cowboy hat sitting at a bar as a large man advances on him from behind. As the man gets closer, Wolverine extends his claws, revealing his identity.

    Aside from that, the PlayStation blog stated that Marvel's Wolverine is a "standalone game" and is being directed by Brian Horton and Cameron Christian, the latter of whom was a creative lead on Miles Morales. It's still "very early" in development, but one hint to its story offered by the blog compared it to Spider-Man, in that "Both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so."

    That's it for now. Insomniac's been a busy place lately though, with the recent release of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which we found to be a "stunner" and a "fantastic experience." We similarly loved Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales, effectively solidifying Insomniac's superb track record with these kinds of games. It also just announced today that it's working on Marvel's Spider-Man 2, exclusive to PS5. Though we don't know what genre Wolverine will fall into, Insomniac has built some serious goodwill with Marvel titles already, so we'll be looking forward to seeing more of this as it gets closer to release.

    Unfortunately, there's no release date or window forthcoming for Wolverine, and so far it seems like it might be a PlayStation exclusive, or even a PS5 exclusive, as the final title card stated it's "In Development for PlayStation 5."

    Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt Coming to PS5 This Year

    Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt is coming to PlayStation 5 later this year. Announced at today's PlayStation Showcase event, the free-to-play battle royale is coming before the end of 2021, but we don't have an exact date yet.

    More details were announced on the PlayStation Blog, including that the game will aim to hit 60 fps, and it will, "make full use of the DualSense controller."

    Bloodhunt is set in the World of Darkness universe. In Bloodhunt, players control vampires fighting off hunters by using supernatural powers. The game is out now in early access on Steam. Bloodhunt is the debut game from UK and Sweden-based developer Sharkmob. It was originally revealed in late 2020.

    Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Gets Another Sassy New Trailer Ahead of Launch

    If you somehow haven't gotten enough of a taste of what Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy will have to offer when it launches next month, today's PlayStation Showcase delivered with yet another look at some of the humorous, snappy story moments coming up in the Guardians' adventure.

    The new trailer opens with the Grand Unifier, who we've seen in previous trailers, giving a dark, ominous speech before Star-Lord feigns a heart attack to, one can only presume, distract or throw him off balance, while Gamora shakes her head in exasperation. And it all goes silly from there.

    We also get a look at Cosmo, a dog with superpowers, intelligence, and the ability to telepathically communicate, who has a prior relationship with the Guardians. There are more looks at combat (both on foot and in space!) and hints at some big dramatic moments.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is still geared up for release on October 26 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch via cloud, following its announcement earlier this year. We've already seen tons of the game so far, including a cinematic trailer centered around Grand Unifier Raker, and deep dives into changes to Star-Lord's backstory.

    New Ghostwire: Tokyo Trailer Looks Trippy, But Still No Release Date

    After going quiet for some time, Shinji Mikami's Ghostwire: Tokyo reappeared today, showing off new visuals from the upcoming supernatural thriller but otherwise offering little in the way of new info.

    Shown at today's PlayStation Showcase event, you can see some of the images from the trailer below.

    The Oni mask bleeding black blood is perfectly scary, at least.

    Despite being made by a Bethesda studio, Ghostwire: Tokyo is one of the few games that will remain PS5 console exclusives despite an acquisition by Microsoft. Mikami's previously told us that it technically isn't a horror game, and it was delayed to early 2022 to protect the health of staff working on it.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is still expected to be released early next year.
