Silent Hill annualization in the works as Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy hits the PS Store today.
Today’s noteworthy updates in the PlayStation world include a significant launch for the PS5 and ambitious plans from Konami regarding the Silent Hill franchise.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Launch
Asobo Studio has unveiled Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy today on the PlayStation Store. This third installment in their acclaimed series serves as a prequel, set 15 years before the events of 2022’s Requiem. Currently boasting a Metacritic score of 80/100, the game follows protagonist Sophia in a narrative lauded for its intricate storytelling and engaging gameplay. The return to this beloved universe will certainly catch the attention of fans who have followed the series since its inception in 2019.
Konami’s Silent Hill Strategy
Konami’s ongoing revival of the Silent Hill series could become a yearly event, as reported by Push Square. Franchise producer Motoi Okamoto hinted at multiple unannounced projects in the pipeline, aiming for a consistent output to rejuvenate the horror IP. This move positions Silent Hill alongside franchise giants like Call of Duty, potentially offering a regular fix for horror game enthusiasts.
Next-Gen RPGs and Consoles
The battle for space RPG dominance continues with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn releasing new gameplay to keep up with its competitor, Exodus. Both games draw clear inspiration from the Mass Effect series, as covered by Push Square. These entries promise rich choice-driven narratives and extensive universes which might attract fans of narrative-heavy sci-fi adventures.
Looking forward to next year’s releases, the PS5 exclusive RPG Ananta, developed by Naked Rain and published by NetEase, is set to launch on January 15, 2027. Dubbed “anime GTA,” the game promises a unique mix of social media-influenced gameplay in a vibrant urban setting.
PlayStation Plus and Beyond
Meanwhile, PlayStation Lifestyle has revealed that the PS Plus Extra and Premium offerings for September will feature RuneScape: Dragonwilds. This marks the console debut for the franchise and will be available on September 15, 2026, offering PS Plus subscribers new content to dive into.
Lastly, though Forza Horizon 6’s release date for PS5 remains elusive, it is a reminder of the cross-platform excitement that awaits PlayStation gamers, as noted by Push Square.
