Sony’s been having a bit of an indie shindig over on the PlayStation Blog, ushering in seven announcements and reveals that might just leave PS4 and PS5 owners slightly aquiver. And if you missed them, you’ll find everything gathered up into one convenient digest below.
Adam Robinson-Yu’s much-loved open-world exploration game A Short Hike, in which a small bird goes on a brief but thoroughly delightful mountain-climbing adventure, is coming to PlayStation consoles some time this autumn. We liked this one a lot when it released for PC back in 2019 – Christian Donlan called it “dreamy brilliance” in his Essential review – so it’s definitely one to keep an eye out for.
Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals, the sequel to developer Night School Studio’s deliciously eerie 2016 narrative adventure, is also confirmed to be coming to PlayStation consoles. It’s set to feature an “entirely new” cast of characters – players control Riley Poverly as she investigates strange electromagnetic signals in her home town of Camena – while retaining, as Night School puts it, “the weird, heartfelt, and personalised experience of the original”. Previous word suggested Oxenfree 2 will launch later this year.
