Hitman 3 (PS5)
Death awaits. Agent 47 is back in the upcoming instalment of Hitman in what will be the conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy. We got to see a new debut trailer during Sony’s latest PS5 reveal showcase, confirming it will be landing on the next-console next year. Agent 47 is said to take part in “the most intimate, professional contract of his career”. In a PlayStation blog post, it states that the “stakes are high and when all is said and done, Agent 47 and the world around him will never be the same again.” Sounds like a very dramatic conclusion is in store.

Far Cry 6 (PS5)
Set on the tropical island of Yara, the next entry in the Far Cry franchise sees you play as Yaran Dani Rojas, a guerilla fighter leading a resistance against the dictatorship ruling over the nation. Said to be an island “stuck in time”, you lead your fellow fighters in a bid to free the island from its tyrannical leader, Anton Castillo (played by Giancarlo Esposito). We don’t know much about the gameplay just yet, but it’ll no doubt deliver another helping of Far Cry’s own blend of open-world action.

God of War 2: Ragnarok (PS5)
Ragnarok is coming. Yes, God of War 2 is happening and it’s set to land on the PS5.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 (PS5)
Looking for a game with a bit of extra bite? Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 puts you in the seedy underbelly of Seattle, which should suit you just fine as a vampire ready to test out your new fangs. Turned as an act of vampire terrorism during the ‘Mass Embrace’, you’ll soon get caught up in vampire faction politics, where you’re still just trying to deal with your new way of life. This is an RPG at its core too, filled with player choices, a strong narrative, and branching dialogue options too.
