Gamescom 2025 is one of the biggest gaming events of the year, if not just straight-up the biggest. Throughout these couple of days, the world will watch as new games are unveiled or known projects are expanded upon through footage or fresh data. Honestly, this is just an exciting and fun time, and the opening night included plenty of huge announcements that helped put the upcoming year into focus.
A small challenge of these types of events is that it can be difficult to quickly confirm which games will be coming to your chosen system, be it the PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series, or PC. To help make this process a touch easier, let's highlight all the PlayStation 5 games revealed during Gamescom 2025.
Updated on August 22, 2025, by Mark Sammut: A few more PS5 games revealed at Gamescom have been added.

- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
Shown off during the Future Games Show 2025, 1348 Ex Voto is set in Medieval Italy. Players will step into the shoes of a female knight who goes on an ambitious and dangerous mission.

Age of Empires 4: Anniversary Edition
PS5 Version Confirmed For November 4
Age of Empires 4
- Released
- October 28, 2021
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Relic Entertainment, World's Edge
- Publisher(s)
- Xbox Game Studios
- PS5 Release Date
- November 4, 2025
- Genre(s)
- Real-Time Strategy
- Platform(s)
- PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
Age of Empires 4 has been out for a couple of years by this point, and it is generally regarded as a pretty good entry into the influential RTS franchise. While already on PC and Xbox, Relic has confirmed that the game will be coming to the PS5 on November 4, 2025, with this version coming with the "Anniversary Edition" subtitle.
Age Of Empires 4: Every Civilization, Ranked
Although every civilization in Age of Empires 4 brings something to the table, some factions are a bit better than others in the long run.
Black Myth: Zhong Kui
Game Science's Second Entry In The Black Myth Franchise
Black Myth: Zhong Kui
- Developer(s)
- Game Science
WHERE TO PLAY
- Publisher(s)
- Game Science
Black Myth: Zhong Kui has technically not confirmed which consoles it will launch on, since it is still too early for that. However, Game Science's FAQ page states the game will launch on "PC + All Mainstream Console Platforms," which should include PS5 (provided it is not delayed for a decade).
Arguably the biggest surprise announcement of Gamescom's opening night, Game Science has revealed Black Myth: Zhong Kui, the project that will follow up Wukong. Now, to be clear, this does not seem to be a direct sequel, and the game's official FAQ page makes it clear that Zhong Kui is still very early in development and has a long way to go. Cast as a god who catches ghosts, the upcoming game will explore Chinese mythology once again, while providing a different gameplay experience to the action-packed Wukong.
BPM: Bitcrushed
Top-Down Shooter
- Release Year: 2026
- Developer: Awe Interactive
- Platform/s: PC and consoles
- Genre/s: Top-Down, Shooter, Roguelite, Dungeon Crawler
BPM: Bitcrushed is a top-down shooter with roguelite elements. By the developer behind BPM: Bullets Per Minute, the upcoming release marks a pretty substantial shift in presentation and gameplay, although the appeal should be largely the same (relentless action).
Bubsy 4D
Bubsy Returns To 3D...Hopefully, It Will Be Better Than Last Time
Bubsy 4D
- ESRB
- Everyone / Mild Fantasy Violence, Comic Mischief, Mild Language
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Fabraz
- Publisher(s)
- Atari
- Platform(s)
- PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC
This is not a drill. Bubsy 4D marks the bobcat's long-awaited return to the 3D platformer genre, with his previous outing happening back in 1996. Bubsy 3D does not have the greatest reputation, so there is a pretty good chance that the upcoming title will, at the very least, be better than the franchise's first attempt to introduce an extra dimension.
Denshattack!
On-The-Rails Mayhem
Denshattack!
- Released
- 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Undercoders
- Publisher(s)
- Fireshine Games
- Genre(s)
- Platformer, Action
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
A ridiculously cool platformer(?), Denshattack puts you in charge of a runaway train, where you must pull off epic skills to collect points and put your rivals to shame. The concept is cool, and the visuals are vibrant, akin to something like Jet Set Radio.
Gear.Club Unlimited 3
Racing Game
- Release Year: TBA
- Developer: Eden Games, Nacon
- Platform/s: PC, PS5, Switch 2, XBX/S
- Genre/s: Racing
Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is set to be a timed Switch 2 exclusive, but the game will eventually came out on the PS5 as well.
Halloween (Or Halloween: The Game)
A 1v4 Asymmetrical Horror Game
Halloween
- Released
- September 8, 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Illfonic
- Publisher(s)
- Illfonic, Gun Media
- Genre(s)
- Horror, Survival, Action, Stealth, Multiplayer
- Platform(s)
- PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC
IllFonic largely specializes in asymmetrical games. The developer's most famous outing is probably 2017's Friday the 13th: The Game, although its most recent project was Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game. The latter did not garner a great reception, but ILLFonic is set to return to the genre by covering arguably the grandfather of the slasher genre: Halloween. The upcoming PS5 game will pit four survivors against one Michael Myers, with players taking charge of all five roles.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam
Large-scale PvP Shooter
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam
- Released
- 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Expression Games
- Publisher(s)
- Team17
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is expected to launch in 2026, building on the foundation of its 2021 predecessor. Like the original game, the upcoming sequel will craft large-scale battlefields that pit 50v50 players against each other, casting people as either the North Vietnamese Army soldiers or part of the US Armed Forces. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will have 6 game modes and 6 maps.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction
Retro Beat 'Em Up
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction
- Developer(s)
- Bitmap Bureau
WHERE TO PLAY
- Publisher(s)
- Limited Run Games
- Genre(s)
- Beat 'Em Up
- Platform(s)
- Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
Bitmap Bureau specializes in arcade-style throwbacks, mostly focusing on the beat 'em up genre. Battle Axe and Final Vendetta were both decent attempts at capturing the magic of yesteryear, and the upcoming He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction looks set to be the developer's most exciting project to date. The combat seems to be fairly typical for the genre, but the He-Man makeover should separate it from the crowd. The game will feature 12 stages and an array of playable characters beyond the eponymous powerhouse himself.
Lego Batman: Legacy of The Dark Knight
TT Games Returns Lego And Batman Fans To Gotham
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
- Released
- May 29, 2026
WHERE TO PLAY

- Publisher(s)
- Warner Bros. Games
- Genre(s)
- Action, Adventure, Superhero, Open-World
- Platform(s)
- Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
TT Games is returning for a new Lego adventure, and the Caped Crusader is back in the hot seat. Once again, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will challenge players to protect Gotham City while taking on arguably the most famous Rogues Gallery in comic book history. Not too much has been revealed about this game so far, although the combat seems to be specifically inspired by the Arkham games. Legacy of the Dark Knight features an open-world, and it seems to also cover a long span in Bruce Wayne's life.
Every Reference in LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight So Far
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight already looks like the ultimate celebration of Batman, with its reveal trailer containing a ton of references.
Lords of the Fallen 2
CI Games' Soulslike Sequel
Lords of the Fallen II
- Released
- 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- CI Games
- Publisher(s)
- CI Games
- Genre(s)
- Soulslike, Action RPG, Adventure
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
While it had been rumored for a few weeks, CI Games confirmed the existence of Lords of the Fallen 2 at Gamescom. Following up a decent first game that survived a rough launch, the sequel should build upon a strong foundation, hopefully setting the stage for what should be one of the best PS5 Soulslike games of 2026. Not too much has been revealed about LOTF2, although it should look great.
Outlaws + Handful of Missions Remaster
Nightdive's Remaster Of A 1997 FPS Cult Classic
Outlaws + A Handful of Missions: Remaster
- Released
- November 20, 2025
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- LucasArts, NightDive Studios
- Publisher(s)
- Atari, Lucasfilm Games, NightDive Studios
- Platform(s)
- PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC
Nightdive can always be relied upon to revive a classic game, and the developer has set its sights on 1997's Outlaws, a first-person shooter set in the Wild West. The remaster will not only modernize a single-player campaign that follows a U.S. Marshal who goes on a mission to save his kidnapped daughter, but it will also include extensive multiplayer modes that even support crossplay.
Road Kings
Saber Interactive's Truck Driving Sim
Road Kings
- Released
- 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Saber Interactive
- Publisher(s)
- Focus Entertainment
- Genre(s)
- Adventure, Simulation, Driving
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
A pretty surprising Gamescom 2025 announcement, Road Kings is a truck-driving simulator from Saber Interactive, the developer behind SnowRunner. That connection means that the company is well-versed in bringing to life realistic sims that challenge you to master the road and your vehicles, and the upcoming game looks quite impressive and should be the subgenre's first real "new-gen" experience. Going by the description, players will step into the seat of a driver who is trying to build their reputation and portfolio, and the courses seem inspired by the Florida-Georgia border.
Serial World
RPG Monster-Collector Roguelike
- Release Year: 2026
- Developer: Serial Project
- Platform/s: PC and consoles
- Genre/s: RPG, Roguelite, Fantasy
Set for a 2026 debut, Serial World is all about crawling through dungeons while strengthening monsters called Anima, with eight in total. The game has roguelike elements and turn-based combat.
Son of Thanjai
Indian Action-Adventure Game
- Release Year: N/A
- Developer: Ayelet Studio
- Platform/s: PC, PS5, XBX/S
- Genre/s: Action, Adventure
Son of Thanjai takes inspiration from Indian culture, teleporting players to the empire of Thanjavur and casting them as a king trying to live up to his role and his father's reputation. While not too much has been shown so far, the gameplay appears to revolve around a whip/sword called the Suruivaal.
Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown
Strategy Roguelike Set In The Star Trek Universe
Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown
- Developer(s)
- Gamexcite
WHERE TO PLAY
- Publisher(s)
- Daedalic Entertainment
- Genre(s)
- Strategy, Roguelike, Science Fiction
- Platform(s)
- PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S
A rare project based on the Voyager TV show, Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has the potential to be among the more interesting attempts to translate the franchise into video game form. Promoted as a survival strategy game that is also story-driven, Across the Unknown puts players squarely in the hot seat as they manage the U.S.S. Voyager's resources and make decisions that alter the course of history.
Swords of Legends
Chinese Action RPG (Not Soulslike!)
Swords of Legends
- Developer(s)
- Aurogon Shanghai
WHERE TO PLAY
Full disclosure, but Aurogon Shanghai has technically not confirmed that Swords of Legends will be coming to the PS5. On the official website, the game is just confirmed for "PC and consoles." That said, it is a fairly safe bet that the latter includes the PlayStation 5. Swords of Legends will not be coming to mobile devices.
GuJian, one of China's most popular RPG franchises, is finally set to make its global debut with the upcoming Swords of Legends. The 2020s are steadily marking a turning point for Chinese-developed games, allowing them to reach an international market rather than staying within the country's borders. The upcoming project looks set to have gorgeous UE5 visuals, smooth action that blends melee and magic, and a story-driven campaign. Also, Swords of Legends does not have Soulslike combat, nor will it take place in an open-world.

Square Enix and Artdink's Triangle Strategy has been available on the Nintendo Switch and PC for a couple of years. During Gamescom, the publisher not only announced PS5 and Xbox Series versions but also made the games available immediately. A throwback to old-school tactical JRPGs, Triangle Strategy is a good entry in that subgenre.
Valor Mortis
A PS5 First-Person Soulslike Set During Napoleon's Era
Valor Mortis

- 2026
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- One More Level
- Publisher(s)
- One More Level, Lyrical Games

Valor Mortis sounds really exciting on paper, and pretty novel as well. One More Level, the team behind Ghostrunner, is putting together a first-person Soulslike that drops players in the middle of the 19th century, casting them as one of Napoleon's soldiers. Naturally, you die and wake up to find the world overrun with a plague, causing monsters to spread far and wide.
