‘Ghostwire Tokyo’ Resurfaces With New Gameplay Trailer [Video]
Ghostwire Tokyo, the latest game from The Evil Within developer Tango Gameworks, was one of the highlights of E3 when it was shown last year, and we’ve not heard all that much about it since, bar the departure of the game’s endearing Creative and Art Director Ikumi Nakamura.
Happily, that’s changed now as the game resurfaced during Sony’s PS5 game reveal event with a new trailer.
The Bethesda-published paranormal action-adventure sees the citizens of Tokyo begin to disappear in mysterious circumstances, and it’s up to the player to uncover the sinister reasons behind it. The new footage goes a little deeper into explaining exactly how you’ll go about that, featuring supernatural battles in first-person.
The game will be heading to PS5 as a timed exclusive in 2021.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
