While there were a bunch of announcements including big games like the new Spiderman, God of War and Final Fantasy XV, we have a list of the top ten announcements from Sony’s event below.

Spiderman

Expected: 2018

While the trailer unveiled at E3 2017 left a lot Marvel’s Spiderman fans longing for more, developer Insomniac Games have more surprises in store in the new trailer. The PlayStation 4 exclusive features more on the emotional aspect of things in the game with the new Spiderman, Miles Morales finally meeting Peter Parker.

The trailer also reveals more on the surrounding New York city environment around Spiderman. The game is expected in 2018, however, we do not have an official release date yet.

Last of Us Part II

Expected: Not known yet

Talking about big names, The Last of Us Part II is one of the highly-anticipated titles for PS4 fans. Developers Naughty dog have not revealed a date for the launch yet but the new cinematic trailer surely reveals the amount of violence and gore that will be the part of the game.

The new trailer is gruesome to a point that it is almost disturbing to watch certain parts. The developers also named the characters — Yara, Lev and Emily, who would be seen in the game with the name of the most prominent character in the trailer yet to be revealed.
