The PS5 game library is growing with the announcement of a big nugget that was only available on Xbox Series, PC as well as on tablets and smartphones (iOS, Android) via Netflix.
A new PS5 game will join Sony’s new-gen console line-up. A smaller title than the next AAA like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and others, but which nevertheless has qualities not to be underestimated. Quite the contrary even since it is the last production of a very beloved creator in the universe of narrative games.
A new PS5 game announced is a nugget
The PS5 not even having three full years of existence yet, it still has time to accommodate thousands of games. And by the way, a developer has just shared their plans for an acclaimed app when it releases on Xbox Series, PC, iOS, and Android. This is the investigative FMV (Full Motion Video) game immortality, by Sam Barlow. The indie creator behind the highly successful Her Story and Telling Lies. Two other games that stand out for their side “interactive movies” with cinematics shot with real actors and which are displayed as such on the screen. An old format brought up to date with less annoying performances than some old titles of the genre.
Good news then, Immortality is coming to PS5. It was Sam Barlow himself who made it known in response to a user who asked “Will Immortality be released on PlayStation 5? And if so, when? ». The creator thus replied in a laconic way ” I am working on it » (via Twitter).
No release date, or even window, but Barlow reveals that a PS5 version of his latest game is in development. A very nice announcement for some, including the twittos who got an answer to his question. ” Oh my God ! Thank you very much, I can’t wait! » he said. “Best news I read today. I absolutely loved the title on PC, and Telling Stories and Her Story are amazing too! Thank you for these great games, Sam” added another. Patience therefore, the release of Immortality on PS5 should take place in the coming months.
…and Phasmophobia pushed back to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series
If you are unfamiliar with Immortality, the game tells the story of Marissa Marcel. An actress who made three films in 1968, 1970 and 1999… which were never released. And to top it off, she vanished. “Marissa Marcel was a movie star. She made three films. But none of these films were ever released. And Marissa Marcel disappeared” (through Steam). For those who do not have a PS5 or wish to discover the title now, it is available on Xbox Series, PC, smartphones and tablets (iOS, Android) for free provided they are Netflix subscribers. The software oscillates between 87 and 88 on Metacritic, which is a very good score for this indie nugget.
In the coming weeks, another successful game will make its debut on PS5 and Xbox Series: Phasmophobia. Players should have already been able to get their hands on it, but the developers were forced to push back the release. Due to unforeseen problems and a fire, which fortunately did not cause any injuries or deaths, in the building where they have their premises, the launch in the summer of 2023 was untenable.
“First of all, we’d like to thank you all for your support and enthusiasm for the console release. Due to a recent fire in our studio building, and unforeseen development issues, our ability to test and develop has been seriously affected. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the game, originally scheduled for August, until everything is back to normal. We are planning a special launch the week before Halloween. In October “. See you on Halloween to thrill as you pretend to be a real ghost hunter.
