Demon's Souls
Demon's Souls is a PlayStation 3 exclusive from the Japanese studio From Software, which has already become iconic in narrow circles. The reincarnation in the person of Demon's Souls Remake is already out on the PlayStation 5. Bluepoint Games was responsible for the development, which already has a decent experience in releasing remakes for PlayStation consoles, in particular Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Shadow of the Colossus. The redesigned Demon's Souls received completely new graphics and animations, while retaining the features of the original: all the characteristic mechanics and the general hardcore that From Software games are famous for. This is a third-person action / RPG set in a Dark Fantasy setting. The player will have to exterminate demons in the fictional kingdom of Boletaria.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Another already available game, a PlayStation exclusive, is the third-person superhero action game Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This is a game with a new storyline, in which the main character is no longer Peter Parker, but Miles Morales. The game has received tons of improvements for the new PS5, from the almost complete absence of loading screens thanks to the fast SSD, to the graphic innovations: real-time ray tracing or the enhanced performance mode with a frame rate of 60 fps. All the main mechanics for which the public fell in love with Spider-Man remained in place: flying around snowy New York and giving kicks to criminals is still fun and exciting.

Horizon forbidden west
Guerrilla Games is best known for its Killzone series. Its first part, Horizon Zero Dawn, was a very daring experiment in the transition from linear shooters to playing in an open world, in a fictional universe. And for her it was necessary to come up with a full-fledged lore and an interesting story. The experiment turned out to be very successful, the game sold an impressive number of copies and managed to acquire a large number of fans. So the announcement of the sequel was only a matter of time. Horizon Forbidden West does not yet have an exact release date, but the game is promised to be released in the second half of 2021. Like the first part, Horizon Forbidden West will be a third-person action / RPG in an open post-apocalyptic world of the future, which is inhabited by small tribes of the surviving remnants of humanity and huge aggressive machines.

God of War: Ragnarok
One of the most anticipated on this list is another God of War: Ragnarok exclusive, which will theoretically be released before the end of 2021. Unfortunately, there is no certainty about this. As well as no details, except that this is a direct sequel to God of War 2018. The main characters will remain Kratos and his son Atreus, the setting will also remain the same: Scandinavian mythology. In mythology, Ragnarok is the death of the gods and the whole world, following the last battle of the gods and chthonic monsters. Ragnarok's foreshadowing is the death of Balder. So the game promises to be very intense. So far, there are no details about the game, only a very short teaser, which was shown at the online presentation of the PS5 along with the console itself.

Deathloop
Another temporary PS5 console exclusive is Deathloop, a first-person action game developed by Arkane (known for the Dishonored series). In the game we have to get to the Black Reef Island. The main character Deathloop is stuck in a time loop. To get out of it, the player will have to eliminate the eight involved in the existence of this loop. The task is not easy: it must be done before midnight, otherwise the "loop" starts over. Plus, each "goal" has its own schedule, and one of these goals, Julianne Blake can be controlled by another live player, not the AI. The developer promises variable and interesting gameplay, as well as maximum use of DualSense.

In addition, we shouldn't forget about the internal PlayStation studios, which have not yet presented their next projects to the public. And they promise to be interesting: Bend Studio has probably been developing a sequel to the highly successful exclusive Days Gone for some time now, which will be released on PS5. Sucker Punch has plenty to do, too: it could be the sequel to inFamous or the new Ghost of Tsushima, which has become the best-selling new IP on PS4. Naughty Dog will also clearly release something impressive for the PlayStation 5. The only question is whether it will be a new part (spin-off) of Uncharted, or a sequel to The Last of Us. It is also worth recalling the games announced at the PS5 presentation, about which there is simply very little information. Namely: Project Athia from Luminous Productions and Square Enix, which has no release date or final title. Capcom's Pragmata action, whose trailer left more questions than answers. And a kind of cybarpunk with robots and cats Stray from Bluetwelve and Annapurna Interactive in decorations that are inspired by the now defunct walled city Kowloon in Hong Kong.
