The Biggest New PS4 Games To Play In 2019

Every PS4 Game Coming In 2019 And Beyond


The end of 2018 is almost upon us, with some of the biggest games of the year dropping just in time for you to fill out your holiday season play schedule. That means it's also time to start looking at the games slated for 2019, which already looks to have quite a few contenders for your time and attention. The current year has had some heavy hitters, but 2019 has more than its share of notable games coming down the line. While there won't be a Red Dead Redemption 2 or a Fallout 76 to dominate the conversation, there are still some huge names on (or possibly just over) the horizon--like a post-Mass Effect turn by BioWare, the return of old-school Resident Evil, and Hideo Kojima's next effort.

We're taking a look at all the biggest games we know are coming to Sony's flagship console in 2019 and beyond. The list is already pretty massive, with names like BioWare's Anthem, Ubisoft's pirate game Skull & Bones, Sucker Punch's follow-up to Infamous: Second Son, Ghosts of Tsushima, and From Software's ninja title Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Other big-name games we're expecting to be released in 2019 or beyond include The Witcher developer CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, the much-anticipated The Last of Us: Part II, and Life is Strange developer Dontnod's Twin Mirror. Click through this feature for brief descriptions of all the big games coming next year or later, including when we might expect them and why they're worthy of your attention.

And while these are the games that have caught our eye, be sure to leave your own most anticipated titles in the comments below.

Other galleries looking forward to 2019:


Anthem


Anthem is possibly BioWare's most ambitious title. Focusing on the exploits of heavily armored freelancers in on a hostile alien planet, you'll work together with other players online to take on dangerous missions while exploring the furthest reaches of the world. While this sounds a lot like Destiny, BioWare's approach to the concept of the shared-world shooter looks like an interesting change of pace from other games in the genre, and we can't wait to see more.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: February 22, 2019


Babylon’s Fall


Babylon’s Fall is the latest game by famed studio Platinum Games. Based on the reveal trailer, the upcoming project appears to be fantasy-themed action game. You appear to play as a knight with unique magical abilities. While that's not much to go on, Platinum's pedigree with titles like the Bayonetta series, Nier: Automata, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance suggest Babylon's Fall will be an action-adventure game that packs some forward-thinking ideas.

Platforms: PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


Beyond Good And Evil 2


We saw a teaser of Ubisoft's spunky new space adventure, Beyond Good & Evil 2, at E3 last year. What we know now is that it will be a prequel to the 2003 game and that players can choose a male or female character and explore different planets.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019


Bloostained: Ritual of the Night


A side-scrolling action-RPG, Bloodstained is the current generation's answer to the classics of the Castlevania series. It's led by Castlevania series producer Koji Igarashi, and looks to be a spiritual successor to some of the best games in that franchise, most notably Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It takes place in a castle, it's a side-scroller, and it looks to have heavy Metroidvania leanings--so SotN fans, take note.

Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One, Switch | Release Date: TBA 2019


Code Vein


Bandai Namco's third-person action-RPG Code Vein gets described as "anime Dark Souls," but with a post-apocalyptic setting. And with the enemies searching for blood--and the risk that you might join their ranks--it seems to have something of a vampire vibe as well.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA


Control


Control is the latest game by Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind Alan Wake and Quantum Break. The debut trailer showcased a strangely shifting world, with a protagonist who can fly and control objects using telekinesis. You take on the role of the director of a government agency tasked with dealing with some supernatural weirdness, using some fun supernatural powers.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


Cyberpunk 2077


The next game from the creators of The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, is set in a dystopian, sci-fi future world. The game now appears more bright and vibrant than it did during its initial tease a few years back. It appears to take place in a dazzling city of dreams, a metropolis of giant buildings adorned with dazzling screens, where organic skin is meshed with futuristic tech. Cyberpunk looks to be just as deep as The Witcher, with plenty to do in Night City.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA


The Dark Pictures - Man of Medan


The folks behind Until Dawn are back with a new cinematic horror title in The Dark Pictures--Man of Medan. The game finds four Americans in the South Pacific, with gameplay that looks similar to Until Dawn in that it'll have players completing puzzles while also struggling to avoid getting murdered. Even better, though, is that Man of Medan is the first of an anthology of horror games.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | TBA 2019


Days Gone


Days Gone takes players to a post-apocalyptic open world, set in the Pacific Northwest. The action-adventure/survival-horror game puts you in the shoes of Deacon St. John, once an outlaw and now trying to survive in a devastated world. While on the road, Deacon must battle Freakers, zombie-like humans and animals that have become mindless and violent and travel in fast-moving hordes, much like the zombies in World War Z. Expect a heavy emphasis on crafting as you drive around on your motorcycle, hunting bounties.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: April 26, 2019


Dead or Alive 6


Kasumi, Hayate, Helena, and plenty of other familiar faces return to the arena in Dead or Alive 6. This fighting game will continue to utilize the franchise's staple complexity when it comes to combos and counters, while upping the realism of its visuals. Two new mechanics, Fatal Rush and Break Gauge, shake up the combat by introducing an easier way for beginners to compete.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: February 15, 2019


Death Stranding


Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima no longer works for Konami, but his new studio's game looks significantly weirder than that often-bizarre series. We don't know much about Death Stranding's gameplay other than it's an open-world action game and there seems to be a lot of walking. But it'll feature The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, what appears to be a very important baby, strange ghost-like entities, and Mads Mikkelsen.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA


Devil May Cry 5


After years of waiting, we're finally getting a brand new Devil May Cry game. And in a rather surprising twist, it's a direct continuation to the first four Devil May Cry games. Protagonist Nero seems to be leading Devil May Cry 5, but we'll also see Dante returning as a character as well. Expect plenty of over-the-top weapons and stylish kills coming back to the action-adventure series.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC | Release Date: March 8, 2019


Doom Eternal


Doom Eternal is the upcoming sequel to the critically-acclaimed Doom reboot from 2016. The game takes everything that the previous game did and pushes it forward: the Doomslayer is more powerful than before, the number of enemies have doubled, and it takes place on Earth.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019


Dying Light 2


In the sequel to the first-person apocalyptic survival shooter, players will have plenty more chances to practice their sweet parkour while killing zombies. However, this time around, player’s choices will have real effects on the world, while also pushing the story down different paths. It's also much bigger, and will continue the first game's use of day and night to present players with challenges and force them to come up with strategies to survive a zombie-infested city.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


The Elder Scrolls VI


Bethesda finally announced the next game in the Elder Scrolls series: The Elder Scrolls VI. No other details about the game were provided outside of a short teaser. It shows a mountainous region and some fog accompanied by a version of the iconic Dovahkiin music. A setting wasn't specified, although fans are sure to do some sleuthing to narrow down the list of possibilities. Hopefully, we'll get more details sooner than later.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA


Final Fantasy VII Remake


Final Fantasy VII Remake is the long-awaited remake of the fan-favorite RPG. Announced at E3 2015, there has been few details about the game since.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA


Ghost Of Tsushima


Ghost of Tsushima is the latest game by developer Sucker Punch Productions, the studio responsible for Infamous and Sly Cooper. The game is set on the island of Tsushima during the Mongol invasions of Japan in 1294. You play as a lone samurai turned vengeful assassin--fighting to drive out the Mongol army from Japan.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA


Judge Eyes


Details are a little thin on Judge Eyes, the next title from the team behind the Yakuza series, but it seems to involve playing as a former lawyer turned detective investigating a series of murders in Japan. Gameplay has you investigating crime scenes and trying to solve the mystery. Expect "something completely different" from the Yakuza series, as well.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA 2019


Jump Force


Jump Force unites a bunch of manga heroes from stories like Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece into a fighting game that also meets the real world. Even more manga characters will show up, like those from Death Note, in order to advance the game's story, giving manga fans all sorts of reasons to check it out.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: February 15, 2019


Kingdom Hearts III


We've gotten sneak peeks at some of the worlds and characters that Kingdom Hearts III will contain, including Hercules, Monsters Inc., and Toy Story. We're not sure exactly where the story will specifically take Sora and friends, but we do know it is the direct sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2 and an end to the saga.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4 | Release Date: January 29, 2019


The Last Of Us: Part II


There is a huge amount of hype for Naughty Dog's next big game, The Last of Us: Part II, and hopefully we'll be learning a potential release date for the game soon. You play as Ellie this time around, not Joel. It appears she has some sort of vendetta this time around. Based on its most recent gameplay, it's likely from the death of a loved one.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA


Metro Exodus


Metro Exodus puts players back in control of Artyom. Even though Artyom will be venturing above ground this time, there will still be plenty of mutated creatures to gun down and unsettling environments to explore. Metro Exodus is much bigger than the other games in the series, but like the other games in the franchise, you'll have freedom in how you solve problems and your choices will affect how things play out.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC | Release Date: February 22, 2019


Nioh 2


In a rather surprising announcement, Sony announced the sequel to the critically-acclaimed samurai-action game Nioh. Not much is known about Nioh 2's story or if you'll be playing as the original's protagonist, WIlliam Adams.

Platforms: PS4 | Release Date: TBA


Psychonauts 2


More than 14 years after its predecessor's release, Double Fine is bringing a sequel to its classic, hilarious third-person action-adventure title in Psychonauts 2. The main cast from the original returns, and you can expect all kinds of sweet mental powers and the ability to venture into the twisted minds of other characters.

Platforms: PS4, PC, Xbox One | TBA


Rage 2


Rage 2 is perhaps the most unlikely sequel to be announced, but with id Software bringing veteran open world developer Avalanche Studios along for the ride there's plenty of reason to be excited about its potential. Avalanche has years of experience crafting large and chaotic worlds in games like Mad Max and Just Cause, with vehicle combat and special effects chief among their notable talents. Id, of course, is the studio that pioneered first-person shooting and continues to deliver hard-hitting games like 2016's Doom. It could be a match made in heaven, but we won't know until it ships sometime in 2019.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: June 2019


Resident Evil 2 Remake


Resident Evil 2 Remake takes the 1998 survival-horror game of the same name and remakes it from the ground up. While it faithfully recreates the game's environment and story beats, it takes liberties with the appearance and gameplay of the original.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: January 29, 2019


Sea of Solitude


Sea of Solitude is an upcoming EA Originals game about a lonely girl whose emotions manage to turn her into a monster and the world into a flooded post-apocalyptic world. She must explore this world in order to find a way to turn back into a human.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019


Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice


Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the long-awaited new game from acclaimed studio, From Software. It appears to be expanding upon the classic Dark Souls formula by introducing stealth-action elements and more acrobatic maneuvers.

Platforms: Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: March 22, 2019


Shenmue III


A true sequel to the well-loved RPG Shenmue II, director Yu Suzuki's crowdfunded Shenmue III finally has a release date in 2019. Set in 1987, it picks back up with the story of martial artist Ryo Hazuki--but it won't be finishing it, leaving room for more returns to the world of Shenmue in the future.

Platforms: PS4, PC | Release Date: August 27, 2019


Skull & Bones


Ubisoft's Skull & Bones sets sail in the Indian Ocean, setting you on a quest to become a pirate of the ages. The game will feature single- and multiplayer options and is centered around naval warfare.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


Spelunky 2


The follow-up to the phenomenal rogue-like side-scroller Spelunky doubles down on what was cool about the game--including its intense challenge. With Spelunky 2, indie developer Derek Yu is bringing new characters, and maybe even better, more multiplayer support.

Platforms: PS4, PC | TBA 2019


Starfield


For the first time in 25 years, Bethesda is creating a new IP. We don’t know much about Starfield. However, based on the game’s title and brief teaser trailer, it’s probably safe to say that this RPG will take place in space.

Platforms: The next generation of consoles, PC (Expected) | Release Date: TBA


Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order


Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order is the upcoming Star Wars game created by Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the well-received Titanfall series. It takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope during Darth Vader's persecution of the Jedi. The game will star a young Jedi Padawan who escaped Order 66 after the events of Revenge of the Sith.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC (Expected) | Release Date: Holiday 2019


Tom Clancy's The Division 2


Ubisoft Massive is at work on The Division 2, a follow-up to its open-world shooter, as it looks to build upon the foundation established in the previous game. This time around it's set in Washington D.C. and deals with the exploits of the Division attempting to reclaim the capital.

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: March 18, 2019


Trials Rising


RedLynx's 2.5D motocross series is back, with more tracks like Mount Everest and the Eiffel Tower. More exciting in Trials Rising are the ways you can play and compete with other players, with online multiplayer, the ability to see other people's performance on tracks, and a local multiplayer tandem mode, where two players control the same bike.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC, Switch | February 12, 2019


Twin Mirror


Dontnod Entertainment is partnering with Bandai Namco to bring Twin Mirror, a new psychological thriller, to PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2019. Based on the E3 2018 trailer, the story focuses on a character named Sam who wakes up one day to discover a shocking amount of blood on his clothing with no memory of the cause. As Sam attempts to piece together the events from the night before, he will explore both the real world and surreal manifestations of his own psyche. Twin Mirror looks intriguing so far, but being one big mystery, we'll have to wait until we see more of the game to get a grasp of how we ultimately fit into Sam's harrowing investigation.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


Wasteland 3


Developer inXile Entertainment's revitalization of the Wasteland franchise, Wasteland 2, was well-received by critics and players alike. The story continues in Wasteland 3, another squad-based top-down CRPG, set in the icy post-apocalyptic wastelands of Colorado.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA 2019


Wolfenstein: Youngblood


Wolfenstein: Youngblood is set in an alternate 1980s Paris and follows the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. It stars series protagonist BJ Blazkowicz's twin daughters, who are working together to continue the fight against the Nazis. The game can be played solo or co-op.

Platforms: Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch (Expected) | Release Date: TBA 2019


Beyond 2019: Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey


Survival game Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey delves into humanity's past some 10 million years, where the precursors to humans must do everything they can not to get eaten and begin the long road of evolution. It spans the next 9 million years, focusing on survival not just of the individual, but of the species. Apart from a fascinating premise--you play as an ape living in a lush jungle full of lethal predators, with a focus placed on creating a lineage that can survive the ages--Ancestors is the current project of Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Desilets. There's no release date set for the game yet, but it's a project that's been in the works since at least 2015, so it seems likely we'll at least be hearing about how it's shaping up in 2019.

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC | Release Date: TBA
