Honorable Mentions
Among the showcased games, we saw another trailer for Deathloop, which is still slated for September 14th. We were given a brief glimpse at an upcoming and mysterious collaboration between Radiohead and Epic Games titled Kid A Mnesia Exhibition. Tchia surprised us with a cute and colorful world in which you can control physical objects and even animals. The remastered Uncharted 4: Legacy Thieves collection will also be coming to PS5.
And then…
Insomniac Games teased a major title with Marvel’s Wolverine. There were few details provided, but after Spider-Man, our expectations and hopes are through the roof!

Marvel Spider-Man 2
Miles Morales and Peter Parker are back and are taking on Venom in the upcoming sequel to the smash-hit Marvel’s Spider-Man. Although it isn’t coming until 2023, we hope Marvel’s Wolverine will keep us busy in 2022.

It looks like we’re finally getting answers in the upcoming sequel to God of War. In the reveal trailer, it seems that the father and son duo of Kratos and Atreus will be exploring Atreus’ giant heritage and the prophecy.
