Microman is one of the more unusual games coming to PS5 later this year. In this game, a janitor has been shrunk down to the size of an ant, trying to survive now in a world where everything is giant.

Early trailers give off a very Honey, I Shrunk the Kids feel, with plenty of common, everyday obstacles to avoid, which now pose a large threat. You’ll also be able to interact with the animal around you, like flying around on butterflies or talking to rabbits. Watch out though, as some animals might view you as prey.

Publisher:
Headup Games
Release Date: TBD 2021

White Shadows is a black-and-white narrative platformer that was first seen during IGN’s Gamescom Awesome Indies show.

You’ll be in awe of this beautiful but bizarre little platformer.

Publisher:
Daedalic Entertainment
Release Date:
TBD 2022

A game focused solely on Gollum is one that’s been intriguing many LOTR fans. This stealth game from Daedalic Entertainment will show us what a Gollum-centric game is all about. You’ll sneak through Mordor in attempts to bypass orcs, ringwraiths, and a slew of other unkind monsters as you progress through your own storyline. The devs have also pointed out that this game takes more inspiration from the books than the movies, which should delight some loyal Lord of the Rings fans as we learn more about Gollum’s mysterious backstory.

Forspoken

Developer: Luminous Productions
Publisher:
Square Enix
Release Date:
January 2022

This new Square Enix title will be nothing short of epic. From the ground up, this game (built under the working title “Project Athia” but now going by Forspoken) was made for the PS5. The tagline for the game is: “In a world not her own, where her resolve will be tested, truths will be questioned and devotions will be doubted, and she will rise.” This brave female protagonist has been shown so far leaping from cliffs, attacking huge beasts, and overlooking mountaintops from the clouds. Plus, famed screenwriter Gary Whitta (Star Wars: Rogue One, The Walking Dead) is in charge of a team of writers, so this game’s story is looking to be something very special indeed.

God of War: Ragnarok

Developer: Santa Monica Studio
Publisher:
Sony
Release Date:
TBD 2022

Yes, Ragnarok is coming, but we might have to wait a while. Though it was confirmed for 2021, Sony has announced that it has been delayed into 2022. The decision was made due to Horizon Forbidden West’s holiday release schedule, so focus will be on that big push. The studio confirmed that this move was to ensure it is “the amazing God of War game that we all want to play.” As for now, you can watch the trailer and get goosebumps at hearing Kratos’ voice say: “the time draws near, you must prepare yourself.” We are certainly prepared!

Earthlock 2 will make the most of the PS5’s capabilities by using Unreal’s Engine 4, which was an ambitious undertaking for the dev team.

Developer: Rocksteady
Publisher:
Warner Bros. Interactive
Release Date: 
TBD 2022

While working on the Batman: Arkham series, Rocksteady takes a small detour to bring this co-op game that features four playable characters: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, or King Shark.

Warner Bros. Interactive
Release Date:

Pragmata

Pragmata is a mysterious new Capcom title that is piquing the interest of fans with its teaser trailer. In it, we see glimpses of a character in a spacesuit in a futuristic setting.
