2022Stray
Developer: BlueTwelve Studio
Publisher: Annapurna Interactive
Release date: July 19, 2022
In this new adventure coming to the PS5 from BlueTwelve Studio, you play as a cat in a world filled with robots. As a cat exploring this strange world, you'll gain a unique perspective from the eyes of a feline who can sneak under cars, traverse over rooftops and go about unnoticed. Viv, the game and creative director at the studio, said, "we are inspired every day by Murtaugh and Riggs, our two cats. Most of the team are cat owners as well, giving us all a lot of helpful first-hand references. Cats are always so playful, cute, and lovingly annoying that it's an endless stream of gameplay ideas for us."

Following the successful launch of OlliOlli World earlier this year, Roll7 and Private Division are back on the scene with another skating game.

Season
Developer: Scavengers Studio
Publisher: Scavengers Studio
Release date: Autumn 2022
Channelling almost Ghibli-esque vibes, Season is a game about riding around on a bicycle and discovering the world for the first time. You play as a young woman who's lived in a secluded community, but for some reason is now able to explore, take photos, and make new memories. But, there's not much time to do any of it in, as a mysterious cataclysm is about to engulf the world for good. But heck is a beautiful way to spend your last season.
Lord of the Rings: Gollum
Developer: Daedalic Entertainment
Publisher: Daedalic Entertainment
Release date: September 1, 2022
We are all so intrigued to see what a game where you play as the dual-personalities of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum will actually be like. And thankfully, that's exactly what Daedalic Entertainment is going to give us. The creature starts out as a prisoner in Barad-dûr, a fortress in Mordor, but eventually, you will traverse more of Middle-Earth, with the developer promising "giant, persistent environments, each harbouring several questlines and a range of friendly or unfriendly faces" in an interview with Edge Magazine in early 2020. During that interview the game is also described as a "stealth-action-adventure with an intriguing dual-personality mechanic, gigantic levels, and a densely wrought aesthetic inspired by Tolkien's own drawings".
The Last of Us Part 1
Developer: Naughty Dog
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Release date: September 2, 2022
The Last of Us Part 1 is described as the definitive version of the original game, with updated visuals, facial animations, expanded accessibility options, improved combat, and more. In fact, Naughty Dog says it's a true overhaul that will bring the journey that first introduced us to Ellie and Joel to the PS5 without "being encumbered by technology". With a debut trailer at the Summer Game Fest, we've already seen glimpses of changes to the character models and more.
Marvel's Midnight Suns
Developer: Firaxis Games
Publisher: 2K Games
Release date: October 7, 2022
Firaxis is bringing us a new strategy game but this time it's not a new XCOM. Instead, we're getting a Marvel-themed strategy game called Marvel's Midnight Suns. Teaming up with 12 of Marvel Comics' iconic heroes in the roster, you play as The Hunter, the very first customizable character in Marvel history. Together you'll attempt to take down the Mother of Demons, Lillith, in a XCOM / Marvel fusion gameplay scenario.
