PlayStation at The Game Awards 2024
Today at The Game Awards, PlayStation announced a host of new games and products. See below for a round-up of the biggest announcements:
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a New Franchise From Naughty Dog | PS5
Naughty Dog, the makers of critically acclaimed series The Last of Us and Uncharted, announce Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Helldivers 2 Omens of Tyranny | PS5
At the end of the First Galactic War, the Helldivers worked together to eradicate the Illuminate. We believed we were successful, and for nearly 100 years, we have lived in relative peace, holding the Terminid and Automaton threats at bay. But now the Illuminate have emerged seemingly out of nowhere. Even though we don’t know the true origin of the invasion, we have no choice now but to suppress three factions in the Galactic War.
The newest major update for Helldivers 2, Omens of Tyranny, featuring the return of the Illuminate faction, is now live!

Midnight Murder Club | PS5
Midnight Murder Club is a six-player shooter-in-the-dark set in a sprawling, pitch-black mansion, where the only light you ever see comes from a flashlight piercing the darkness or gunfire piercing your heart.
Turning your flashlight on lets you see which of the 30+ elaborately decorated rooms you’re currently in, but it also gives away your position to enemies who might be hiding close by. It’s the ultimate game of flashlight tag. To further spice things up, find vending machines that give you access to a variety of devilish toys. Take night vision pills to temporarily see in the dark, deploy an inflatable flashlight-holding mannequin to fool other players, tear through the shadows with a torrent of bullets from a machine gun, and more!
The crossplay demo is now available on PS5, and it’ll be live through 22 December. Midnight Murder Club releases Early Access in February 2025.
