But here's the catch: the Separate Ways and The Mercenaries modes won't work with the Resident Evil 4 VR Mode DLC.
Separate Ways, coming on September 21, is all about Ada Wong and her unique adventure during the events of Resident Evil 4. You'll get the full picture by looking at things from both Ada and Leon's perspectives. Ada Wong and Albert Wesker are now part of the free DLC called 'The Mercenaries.' You can play as these two cool characters in the game!
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora
I was not particularly excited about this game. I was particularly not excited for this game (skip). I enjoyed the movies, but this game doesn't seem all that promising. It's set to be released on December 7, 2023. In this video game, you assume the role of a Na'vi orphan who was raised and transformed into a soldier by the RDA. However, there's a twist to the story – you're cryogenically frozen and awaken 15 years later in an uninhabited area. Your mission is to explore a previously uncharted region of Pandora known as the Western Frontier. Sounds like fun, but time will tell when we can actually get some gameplay.
Ghost Runner II
Ghostrunner 2 is hitting the gaming scene on October 25, 2023, and it's bringing some exciting changes. In this game, you'll have new skills that let you get super creative and handle tough challenges more easily. But here's the twist: your enemies will react differently depending on the skills you use, so every fight feels fresh and challenging.
The story unfolds in this cool futuristic cyberpunk world that's seen its fair share of action. After a bad guy named the Keymaster fell from power, humanity's last refuge, Dharma Tower, is still standing, but it's in rough shape. Our hero, Jack, is back, and this time he's taking on a bunch of dangerous AI cultists who've gathered outside Dharma Tower. The future of humanity rests on his shoulders, and it's your job to lead him through this epic journey.
Deep Earth Collection (PlayStation 5 Covers)
Sony is bringing out some cool new colors for the PS5 and its controllers! The Deep Earth Collection includes three fresh colors: Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, and Sterling Silver, all with a shiny metallic look. You can start pre-ordering these on October 4. Volcanic Red and Cobalt Blue will hit the stores on November 3, and you can get your hands on the Sterling Silver ones on January 26.
HellDivers II
Get ready for Helldivers 2, a multiplayer shooter hitting PS5 and PC! Preorders start on September 22, 2023, with the release set for February 8, 2024. In this game, you become a HellDiver, an elite soldier on a mission to defend Super Earth from alien invaders(reminded me of Starship Troopers) using powerful weapons and tactical skills. Team up with friends (up to four players) to tackle the menace, coordinating loadouts and strategizing your approach for each mission.
Helldivers 2 elevates cooperative gameplay to the max, emphasizing teamwork and collaboration as you face off against the alien threat. With customizable gear, superpowered weapons, and the ability to call in support during battles, it's your chance to save Super Earth together with your squad.
Spider-Man 2
Get ready, folks! Spider-Man is swinging back into action on October 20, 2023. They just announced some cool stuff about the game. First off, they've made the game even bigger by adding two new parts of New York – Brooklyn and Queens. Plus, you can swing around iconic places like Coney Island!
Guess what? Peter Parker's old high school, Midtown High, and Miles Morales' Brooklyn Visions academy are going to be in the game.
But the best part is the suits. Spider-Man 2 is going to have more than 65 different suits you can wear. Yep, you heard that right, 65! Some are from the comics and movies, and there are even some brand new ones. So, you can look awesome while saving the city.
You will be able to travel around the city super fast without any interruptions. It's gonna be smooth and seamless.
Oh, and one more thing – you'll be able to switch between playing as Peter Parker and Miles Morales whenever you want. It's like getting to be both Spider-Men!
So mark your calendars for October 20, 2023, because Spider-Man 2 is going to be epic!"

When I first saw this, it reminded me a lot of Nintendo's Splatoon. From the trailer alone, it's obvious they're aiming for a Splatoon vibe. Personally, I'm not sure it'll hit the mark, but it could still be a hit with folks who don't have a Nintendo Switch.
