This week brings a mix of heavy-hitters, long-awaited remakes, and a few intriguing smaller titles to the PlayStation library. Here are the standouts:
Major Releases
Gears of War: Reloaded (PS5 – Aug. 26)
Microsoft’s flagship shooter is finally making the jump to PlayStation. The legendary third-person cover-based series, famous for introducing mechanics like the “active reload,” arrives on PS5 with upgraded visuals and refinements. If this debut performs well, it could pave the way for more entries from the franchise to land on Sony’s console.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (PS5 – Aug. 28)
Widely regarded as one of Hideo Kojima’s greatest works, Snake Eater returns in a complete reimagining. More than a graphical overhaul, this remake adds new gameplay tweaks, quality-of-life changes, and hidden surprises for longtime fans. Early impressions suggest Konami has delivered a faithful yet modern update that honors the classic.
Lost Soul Aside (PS5 – Aug. 29)
Developed by Ultizero Games as part of Sony’s China Hero Project, this fast-paced action title feels closer to Devil May Cry than Dark Souls. With stylish, combo-heavy combat and cinematic flair, Lost Soul Aside could be Sony’s next breakout IP
Shinobi: Art of Vengeance (PS5, PS4 – Aug. 29)
SEGA’s classic ninja franchise is back, reimagined by Lizardcube, the studio behind Streets of Rage 4 and Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. Featuring a hand-drawn art style and fluid, side-scrolling combat, this reboot blends nostalgia with modern action design. Both PS4 and PS5 players will get to join the fight.
