After revealing the new PS5 Pro earlier this month, Sony Interactive Entertainment held their latest State Of Play livestream featuring a number of titles. Make no mistake, while this showcase did reveal some titles and gave updates to others, this was basically the first of two promos for what to buy this coming holiday season. We're expecting another one of these in November, but today, they touched on about 20 titles in various ways. We have more info from a combination of developers for you below, along with the full video above.

The Midnight Walk

Experience five tales of fire and darkness, featuring an incredible cast of odd characters. As the trailer reveals, assets for The Midnight Walk were first sculpted with real life clay, then 3D scanned to a meticulous level of detail and brought into the game. Paired with the stop motion-style of animation, the approach creates an intricate and visually arresting world.

Hell Is Us

Hell is Us is a 3rd-person action-adventure game that combines intense melee combat with the thrill of exploration. Explore a semi-open world to find answers to your questions and face mysterious creatures all along your journey. As well as the civil war dividing the country, the region is suffering from a mysterious calamity, which has given rise to supernatural creatures that no modern weapon can defeat. Your drone and sword from a different age are your faithful allies as you cut a path through lands infested with terrifying chimeras and try to unravel the mystery of their appearance.

Metro Awakening

The year is 2028. The survivors of nuclear Armageddon cling to existence in the buried subways of the Moscow Metro – civilization's last refuge and tomb, where ghosts and spirits haunt the living in this man-made purgatory.

Both Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa previously appeared in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show (which in turn, inspired Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge), making Radical Reptiles their playable debut in a beat-em-up video game and a long-awaited reunion with the gang. All players also receive a free update regardless of whether they purchase Radical Reptiles, which adds a rockin' Remix mode for the official soundtrack.

Dynasty Warriors Origins

Dynasty Warriors Origins begins during the dawn of an era of tremendous upheaval in the Three Kingdoms when the original protagonist — a traveling martial artist with amnesia – finds himself in the middle of great conflict. Here, the game's hero partakes in this dramatic tale of ancient China, where he plays an active role in the storyline while giving players first-hand experience in the drama of the war-torn land. Throughout the journey, players will make various choices as the protagonist — but he too carries a secret — which will have an impact on the Three Kingdoms, helping illustrate a turbulent time in history in exciting new ways.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Today's trailer provided the first look at the flagship monster at the center of the story in Monster Hunter Wilds, Arkveld. The mysterious monster Arkveld hails from a species long thought to be extinct, and bears uniquely shaped, chain-like wings. After rescuing the young boy Nata on the border of the Forbidden Lands, the Hunter's Guild gathers its resources and forms the Forbidden Lands Research Commission to investigate the mysterious "White Wraith" that attacked Nata's home. In order to properly explore the Forbidden Lands, the Research Commission dispatches multiple units to the area. These include the Avis Unit made up of Alma, Gemma, the player's Hunter, and their Palico, as well as the Astrum unit, which includes the veteran hunter Olivia, who can join players as a Support Hunter, alongside her Palico Athos, the biologist Erik, and Werner the engineer.

Today's trailer gave the first look at the environmental changes the Scarlet Forest experiences as it goes through its periods of Fallow, Inclemency, and Plenty alongside the various lifeforms that call the region home. During the Fallow, the Scarlet Forest is defined by the distinctive red-tinted rivers for which it's named coursing through dense vegetation. Times of Inclemency cause a chaotic Downpour that drastically reduces visibility and leads to surging water levels and raging currents. After the storm breaks, the Plenty gives rise to a colorful ecosystem teeming with monsters, plant life, and sun-dappled streams that reflect the vibrant blue of the clear sky. These clear waters allow visiting hunters to easily engage in the relaxing pastime of fishing or explore the region's abundant waters and rubble by swinging from nearby Wedge Beetles or riding on the backs of their trusty Seikret mount. As they explore, hunters may even encounter the local tribe of Lynians, known as Wudwuds, who have successfully adapted their lives and hideout to suit the ever-changing environment.
