Astro Bot,Playstation,PS5

The excitement over the newly announced Astro Bot underscores a hunger for a return to PlayStation's more eclectic days.

This story is part of the Digital Trends Summer Gaming Marathon series Sony kicked off a marathon of gaming reveals this week with an exciting State of Play stream. The 30-minute broadcast shed some light on what’s coming to the PlayStation 5 in the back half of 2024 and beyond. We saw an extended look at Concord, got a release date for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, and learned more about Supermassive’s Until Dawn remake.

Related Linneman’s thoughts likely echo what a lot of excited fans are feeling right now. It’s not just that Astro Bot looks like an incredibly polished, adorable platformer — it’s that it feels like a return to a lost era of PlayStation that players have long been yearning for. That started to change during the PS4 era. Sony started to become much more selective in its publishing, focusing its efforts on a collection of trusted studios and IP. PlayStation’s first-party lineup gradually began to narrow with that change. We saw a growing emphasis in cinematic adventure games and open-world titles that pushed the PlayStation’s tech. Titles like Crash Bandicoot started becoming a rarity. Instead, franchises like God of War, Horizon, and The Last of Us took over.
