Konami provided a fresh - and terrifying - look at its upcoming remake of the survival horror classic Silent Hill 2, sharing a new trailer and release date during Sony's State of Play and offering an extended look at gameplay during Konami's Silent Hill Transmission event.

However, developer Team Bloober se …

Sony's most adorable character (sorry, Sackboy) is getting another outing. At its State of Play showcase today, the company revealed the latest Astro Bot game, which was rumored earlier in the month.

It appears to be a direct sequel to Astro's Playroom, so it should make excellent use of the PS5's controller and all of its various functions. The game features 50 worlds to explore - like its predecessor, it looks like those levels will explore PlayStation history to varying degrees - and launches on September 6th. It'll be a PS5 exclusive when it does come out.

This will be the first title in the series since Astro's Playroom, a Wii Sports- …

We finally have a few more details about the previously mysterious next Monster Hunter game. Capcom released a new gameplay trailer for Monster Hunter Wilds at Sony's State of Play event, and it features some free-flowing combat, a pretty dark-looking world, and what appears to be some new monsters - including one that looks a lot like a Final Fantasy chocobo. Naturally, it serves as a mount. Capcom describes the new game as taking place in "a living world."

Wilds is a follow-up to 2018's open-world title Monster Hunter World, which went on to become Capcom's bestselling game ever, topping the likes of Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Dev …

Ragnarök is nigh - that is, if you've got a PC capable of handling it. During its summer State of Play event, Sony announced that God of War Ragnarök is coming to PC on September 19th. The news was accompanied by a brand-new trailer including the info that the game is now available for preorder.

When we last left the pair in 2018's God of War, the two had just returned from an epic journey to disperse Atreus' mother's ashes from the highest peak in the nine realms. In Ragnarök, Kratos and …
