After months of silence and small updates, Sony has finally shown its hand and brought the house crashing down at their PlayStation 5 Showcase. With some of the biggest announcements of the year, the team at Sony have revealed just how amazing gaming on a PS5 are going to be.
Here’s a recap of everything revealed at the showcase, that will no doubt whet your appetite for more.
First look at God of War Ragnarök
At the showcase, the team at Santa Monica Studios unveiled the first look at the highly anticipated sequel that picks up a few years after the events of God of War (2018). The freezing winds of Fimbulwinter have come to Midgard, making survival for Kratos, Atreus, and Mimir in the Norse wilds even more challenging than before.
While the last game built an enormous amount of trust and understanding between father and son, there is still a great deal of complexity in their interactions – especially after the revelation of Atreus’ Giant heritage and the hidden prophecy only Kratos saw. Together, Kratos and Atreus will have to make a choice about which path they will take. Whatever they choose will define the fate of all those living in the Nine Realms as God of War Ragnarök approaches.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine revealed
Veteran developer Insomniac Games has created two new exciting titles for PlayStation 5 consoles.

Today’s game footage trailer is merely just a glimpse at what’s in store in terms of the new abilities our heroes will acquire, suits they will wear (more on that some other time), and the villains that will try to hunt them down.
