What did Sony announce at E3 2018?
While the show was packed full of trailers and announcements, here are the best that Sony has to offer at E3 2018.
Death Stranding
After years of beautiful, confusing and enticing cinematic trailers about Death Stranding, Sony finally showcased the actual game at E3 2018. It’s an eight-minute look at the game, and yes, it’s still as weird as ever and no, there’s no shortage of babies in jars.

The Last of Us Part 2
The Last of Us Part 2 is no secret – Sony has been teasing it for quite some time – but E3 2018 was the first time that we got to see actual gameplay. Despite starting in a warm and lighthearted manner, it’s not long before Ellie gets thrown into the nitty-gritty action you can expect from the game. It’s 12 minutes long too, giving us a nice meaty chunk of TLOU2 to sink our teeth into.

Ghosts of Tsushima
Following a reveal late last year, we got our first look at Ghosts of Tsushima gameplay. From the developers of the Infamous series, Ghosts of Tsushima is stunning and looks to offer a perfect blend of all-out combat and stealth. Though some expected to find out a release date during the reveal, that sadly wasn’t the case.

Marvel’s Spider-Man
It was a given that we’d be treated to some new Spider-Man action ahead of the game’s exclusive PS4 release later this year. We weren’t disappointed; there’s a lengthy gameplay trailer giving us a better look at combat and one of the game’s most exciting features; web-slinging.

As well as showcasing a range of previously-announced titles, Sony took the opportunity to introduce the world to CONTROL. Developed by Remedy, the studio behind Quantum Break and Alan Wake, the game looks to offer cool time-control combat and looks weirdly wonderful.
Resident Evil 2
Three years ago, Capcom confirmed that it was remaking Resident Evil 2, but since then, we’ve heard basically nothing about the project and some believed it had been canned. That’s not the case, as Sony showcased a new trailer and even a January 2019 release date.
