Every Video Game Release Coming Soon For PS5 And PS4

The gaming industry never sleeps. Each month of every year contains at least a handful of noteworthy games from major studios, along with a slew of indie projects that aim to satisfy a niche audience. Naturally, that extends to Sony's consoles, particularly right now as the libraries for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 expand simultaneously.

So far, 2021 has seen the release of Hitman 3, Returnal, Resident Evil Village, and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, just to name a few of the year's best PS5 and PS4 games, and 2022 is still quite a while away. Regardless of whether someone's preferred system, their future is packed with exciting games. While some PS5 games have release dates, others have only been announced with tentative plans.

Which PS5 game is coming soon to shelves around the world?

Disclaimer: Please note that the listed release dates are for North America. Substantial expansions and DLC releases will also be included.

Updated August 2nd, 2021: With its one-year anniversary approaching, the PS5 is starting to really pick up steam. Naturally, the console's resume will only improve with each passing month, especially since platforms tend to not reach their peak until a few years in. What PS5 and PS4 games have been recently announced for 2021? What titles will dominate the discourse in 2022?

Over the last week, the following games were either announced for Sony's PlayStation consoles or added to this scheduler: Assassin's Creed Valhalla: The Siege of Paris, Maneater: Truth Quest, Baldo: The Guardian Owls, Godfall: Fire & Darkness, Mortal Shell: The Virtuous Cycle, Port Royale 4, Orbals, CrossCode: A New Home, Murder Mystery Machine, ConnecTank, Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye, Blue Reflection: Second Light, Truck Driver: Premium Edition, Marvel's Avengers – Black Panther: War for Wakanda, A Memoir Blue, World War Z: Aftermath, Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All, Dreams – Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s Tale.

August is shaping up nicely for PlayStation owners. After a long wait and a few delays, the sequel to 1990's King's Bounty should become a reality this August. The same can also be said for Psychonauts 2, the experimental platformer with a huge cult following. Hades will be making its way to the PS5 in August, and people will not want to sleep on it. Despite early claims that it could only run on ninth-generation hardware, Godfall will be coming out on the PS4 and also releasing a new expansion. PS Plus owners can look forward to Hunter's Arena: Legends, a battle royale game that supports PvP and PvE. For those who missed it the first time around or have been waiting patiently for the PS5 version to drop, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is the highlight of August 2021.

A throwback to classic shooters, zombies, and Peppa Pig, October is beginning to look great for PS5 owners. Far Cry 6 and Battlefield 2042 should keep first-person shooter fans busy for well beyond 2021.

Superhero fans can turn to Square Enix and Eidos Montreal's Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy. EA's FIFA 22 will also hit the scene. Some of the best PS5 games of 2021 might end up releasing during this month. While initially slated for a September release, Ubisoft's Riders Republic has been delayed until October.

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5 and Online will officially join the ninth console generation. Despite GTA 5 and Online debuting in 2013, the games remain inescapable, particularly the multiplayer version. In November, Final Fantasy 14 will release its fourth expansion, Endwalker. The MMO's last expansion, Shadowbringers, came out on July 2, 2019. Just Dance 2022 might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the rhythm franchise has a substantial following. JRPG fans have Blue Reflection: Second Light to look forward to, a sequel to 2017's Blue Reflection. Although far from perfect, the original title showed a lot of promise that the sequel will hopefully build upon.

Dying Light 2 looks set to beat Dead Island 2 to the finishing line.

December 7: Dying Light 2: Stay Human (PS5, PS4)
December 15: Aeterna Noctis (PS5, PS4)

Plenty of PS5 and PS4 games have been announced for 2021 that have yet to receive a release date. From massive PlayStation exclusives like Horizon Forbidden Westto exciting third-party outings such as Evil Dead: The Game and Call of Duty: Vanguard, the 2021 gaming calendar could change at a moment's notice. There are also plenty of indie titles that should hit the PS Store by year's end.

With so many projects still to come in 2021, it can be difficult to look beyond the end of the year. However, 2022 will be huge for the PS5 since, by that point, the PS4's release schedule should slow down considerably. Hogwarts Legacy and The Lord of the Rings: Gollum both have the potential to be among the best titles of their respective licenses, while DC fans have Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and WB Games Montréal's Gotham Knights to look forward to. Gran Turismo 7 also needs to exist. Santa Monica's next God of War game has also been delayed until 2022, while FromSoftware's Elden Ring will be starting the year off on a fantastic note.

Some of the biggest games currently in development have yet to give any inkling about when a release can be expected. Final Fantasy 16 and Persona 6 will hit the market in due time, but the futures of games like Deep Down and Wild are more uncertain. Projects such as the new BioShock and TimeSplitters are presumably still multiple years away from a release, and The Elder Scrolls 6's PlayStation future is uncertain due to Starfield's Xbox exclusivity.

Rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt; that said, speculating about what unrevealed titles are secretly in development for the PS5 can be a lot of fun. While nothing has been confirmed, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, Grand Theft Auto 6, and Marvel Spider-Man 2 are fairly safe bets.
