While the focus of Sony and Microsoft’s headline presentations may be first-party titles and other triple-A productions meant to show off the sheer power of hardware packed inside their respective next-gen consoles, it’s just as important to celebrate the mid-range, more modestly-budgeted games headed to both systems over the next 12 months.
As for the three titles just revealed for the PlayStation 5 (as well as Xbox Series X and PC), they were all showcased as part of publisher Nacon’s special Connect presentation earlier today and include new IPs Steelrising, Werewolf: The Apocalypse and Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, the latest video game adaptation of Mark Rein-Hagen’s tabletop game of the same name.
