๐ง♂️ Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
Return of a Legend
Tactics fans, rejoice. The classic PS1 gem returns with revamped visuals, updated UI, and reworked systems to welcome newcomers without alienating purists. This is the strategy-RPG renaissance we’ve been praying for.

๐ต️ 007: First Light
Developed by IO Interactive
An origin story for Bond, James Bond. Expect sleek stealth, globe-trotting missions, and all the espionage vibes you’d want from the studio behind Hitman. No shaken martinis shown in the trailer, but hey, maybe that’s a gameplay perk.
๐ Vote here: Is 007 back in style?
๐ป Silent Hill f
Horror in Bloom
Set in 1960s Japan and dripping with surreal dread, Silent Hill f combines body horror with a slow-burn psychological atmosphere. It’s weird. It’s haunting. And it might be the most terrifying Silent Hill yet.

๐ Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
The remake we were (not-so-patiently) waiting for.
Konami brought the jungle back with updated graphics and cutscenes so crisp, we could practically taste the survival rations. It’s a faithful remake, but rumors suggest some quality-of-life improvements, too.
๐ Vote here: How do you feel about MGS Delta?
๐ง Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement
The next Gothic Symphony
Koji Igarashi returns with a new entry in the Bloodstained series — more platforming, more monsters, more cursed castles. Gothic action with that classic Metroidvania spice.

๐ค Astro Bot Returns! (Surprise Reveal!)
Platformer joy inbound
The fan-favorite PS5 mascot is back in what looks like a full-on 3D platforming adventure across PlayStation history. Think Mario Galaxy energy, but with a DualSense twist.
๐ Vote here: Is Astro Sony’s secret MVP?
๐ง Lumines Arise (PSVR2 Compatible)
Block puzzling meets musical zen
The ultimate rhythm-puzzle combo gets a next-gen upgrade, with full PSVR2 support and a truly hypnotic soundtrack. Definitely one for the chill gamers out there.
