PLAYSTATION fans were delighted today during a State of Play presentation that saw a number of stellar games shown off and announced.
In the leadup to Summer Games Fest, a big celebration that includes announcements for all sorts of games companies including Xbox, PlayStation led the charge with a presentation of its own.
14 games were shown off during the PlayStation State of Play, although the first 10 minutes were taken up by new footage of Concord, an Overwatch-like hero shooter from Sony in-house studio Firewalk Studios.
Concord had previously been announced last year, but this is the first time we’ve seen proper gameplay, and it’s looking pretty good.

Interestingly, the game is coming to both PS5 and PC via Steam, which is a strategy we’ve seen Sony use recently with games like Helldivers 2.
Also announced was a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake from Konami and Bloober Team, which will be launching on PS5 and PC on October 8, 2024.
