Sony’s latest State of Play may have been a mixed bag for some viewers, but it still managed to spotlight three exciting games that have players buzzing. Despite some calling the showcase underwhelming, these titles stood out as the biggest highlights, proving that PlayStation’s 2025 lineup still has plenty to offer.
Chronoscript: The Endless End Stuns With Beautiful Art
Chronoscript: The Endless End is shaping up to be one of the most visually striking Metroidvania games in years. Players step into the role of an editor trapped within a living manuscript, tasked with unraveling a thousand-year story that continues to write itself.
The game’s hand-drawn art style is mesmerizing, with fluid animations that breathe life into its mysterious world. Combine that with dynamic sound design that pops through speakers, and Chronoscript is set to deliver a hauntingly beautiful narrative experience when it launches next year.
Deus Ex Remastered Celebrates 25 Years of Excellence
Fans of immersive sims have a reason to celebrate as Deus Ex Remastered was officially announced. Marking the franchise’s 25th anniversary, the remaster gives new and returning players the chance to revisit the original classic with updated visuals and modernized controls.
The original Deus Ex is often considered one of the most influential games in history, and this remaster offers a perfect entry point for those who never played it. Longtime fans are excited to see how the atmospheric cyberpunk world will be reimagined for modern hardware when it arrives next year.
Saros Refreshes Housemarque’s Signature Chaos
Housemarque, the studio behind Returnal and Resogun, is back with Saros, a vibrant yet chaotic new action game that keeps the studio’s trademark intensity intact. Saros is brighter in tone compared to Returnal but remains equally relentless, with fast-paced combat and precision-based gameplay.
The reveal also teased a terrifying multi-armed demon that looks straight out of a Guillermo Del Toro movie, adding mystery and tension to its world. Saros could very well become the next must-play PlayStation exclusive when it drops next year.
How and When to Play
All three games are slated for release in late 2025 on PlayStation 5, with PC ports likely to follow for some titles.
Standard digital editions are expected to launch at $69.99, with possible Deluxe or Collector’s Editions featuring art books, soundtracks, or in-game bonuses. Players can expect pre-orders to open a few months before release, often with early access perks.
Those with PlayStation Plus Premium should watch for potential day-one trials, while PC players may see Chronoscript and Deus Ex Remastered listed on Steam or Epic closer to launch. Xbox Game Pass inclusion for Deus Ex remains a possibility, though not confirmed.
