The Most Anticipated PlayStation Sequels: What We Know So Far

9 July 2025

Ah, PlayStation – the place where unforgettable gaming memories are born. Whether you’re fighting the gods in "God of War" or swinging through the streets of New York as Spider-Man, PlayStation has a knack for delivering games that stick with us long after we’ve dropped the controller. And when a game nails it that hard, you know what we all want next, right? A sequel. Something bigger, better, and bolder to keep the story going.

Thankfully, Sony and its talented lineup of developers clearly know how to spoil us because there are some truly jaw-dropping sequels in the works. Sequels that have us marking our calendars in permanent marker and refreshing our newsfeeds daily for the tiniest updates.

In this article, we’re diving headfirst into the most anticipated PlayStation sequels that are on the horizon. I'll fill you in on everything we know so far, what the rumors are saying, and why these games have us counting down the days. Ready? Let’s get into it.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: Swinging Into A Bigger Adventure

If you thought Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 was peak gaming bliss, think again. Insomniac Games is gearing up to deliver Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and from what we’ve seen, it’s shaping up to be an absolute showstopper.

What We Know So Far

This time around, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales will take center stage. Yup, you read that right – double the Spidey, double the fun. The trailer teased some highly requested features, such as enhanced web-slinging mechanics and the introduction of Venom as one of the main villains. And let’s be real: Venom isn’t just a villain. He’s the villain. His presence alone is enough to send chills down your spine.

Word on the street is that the game world will be even bigger, extending beyond Manhattan to include parts of Queens and Brooklyn. That’s right – more rooftops to swing from and (hopefully) more Easter eggs to uncover. Oh, and one more thing: rumor has it there might be co-op gameplay! Imagine teaming up with a friend to bring chaos (or justice) to New York. Fingers crossed!

God of War Ragnarök: An Emotional End to the Norse Saga

Technically, God of War Ragnarök is already here, but it’s such a monumental sequel that it deserves its spot on this list. If you’ve played it, you know why. If you haven’t, well, what are you waiting for?

What Makes This Sequel Special

In Ragnarök, Kratos and Atreus return to face their biggest challenge yet – the literal end of the world. The father-son duo’s relationship is evolving, and it’s deeper and more emotional than ever. Atreus is growing up, Kratos is grappling with his violent past, and the gods of Norse mythology are out for blood.

The game expands on everything that made its predecessor a masterpiece: heart-pounding combat, jaw-dropping visuals, and a narrative that packs a punch. But it’s not just about bigger battles; it’s about the quieter moments, too. The moments that remind you why Kratos is one of PlayStation’s most beloved antiheroes.

Horizon Forbidden West: The Burning Shores DLC and Beyond

Okay, so Horizon Forbidden West technically isn’t a sequel anymore – it’s been out for some time. But with the announcement of the Burning Shores DLC and whispers about the future of Aloy’s journey, we couldn’t leave it out of this list.

What’s New in the DLC?

The Burning Shores DLC takes Aloy to a brand-new location: the volcanic ruins of Los Angeles. Yep, you’ll be gliding past crumbling skyscrapers and lava-filled landscapes, all while uncovering more about the ancient world and its secrets. It’s a visual feast, and let’s be honest, it’s the perfect excuse to dive back into the rich, post-apocalyptic world of Horizon.

And while Guerrilla Games hasn’t confirmed a third game just yet, Aloy’s story is far from over. If her journey from Zero Dawn to Forbidden West taught us anything, it’s that this franchise has staying power. Who wouldn’t want more robot dino battles?

The Last of Us Part III: Is It Happening?

Look, it’s impossible to talk about PlayStation sequels without mentioning The Last of Us. The first two games redefined storytelling in video games, and fans want to know: will there be a Part III? The answer isn’t clear-cut, but there’s plenty of buzz floating around.

What We Know So Far

Neil Druckmann (the series’ creator) is keeping his cards close to his chest, but he’s hinted that there’s more to tell in this universe. Naughty Dog reportedly has a story outline for Part III, and while it hasn’t been greenlit yet, it seems like it’s just a matter of time.

The big question is: where would the story go? Part II ended on a bittersweet note, leaving Ellie at a crossroads. Would the game follow her journey towards redemption, or introduce new characters entirely? It’s anyone’s guess, but I think we all agree that whatever Naughty Dog creates will hit us right in the feels (and possibly send us crying into a pillow).

Ghost of Tsushima 2: More Samurai-Style Storytelling

Ghost of Tsushima was a love letter to Japanese culture, complete with stunning katanas, breathtaking scenery, and a protagonist you couldn’t help but root for. It’s no surprise that Sucker Punch Productions is cooking up a sequel.

What To Expect

Details are scarce, but fans are hoping for a continuation of Jin Sakai’s story. Will he embrace his role as the Ghost, or find a way to reconcile with his samurai roots? The first game left us with so many questions, and I think we’re all hungry for answers.

We can also expect advancements in gameplay. The first game nailed combat (those duels were chef’s kiss), but there’s always room for improvement. Imagine more dynamic swordplay, stealth upgrades, and, dare I say it, multiplayer features? The possibilities are endless.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: A Beloved Classic, Reimagined

Let’s take a moment to appreciate what Square Enix has been doing with Final Fantasy VII. They didn’t just remaster it; they rebuilt it from the ground up, and Final Fantasy VII Remake was an absolute triumph. Now, the journey continues with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

What’s New?

Rebirth picks up right where Remake left off, taking Cloud and his ragtag crew beyond the city of Midgar. Fans are buzzing about new locations, expanded lore, and – plot twist – potential changes to the original story. Square Enix has made it clear that they’re not afraid to shake things up, and honestly? I’m here for it.

The game’s visuals look insane (as expected), and the combat seems to be refining an already polished system. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the original or a newcomer to the series, this sequel is a can’t-miss.

Wrapping It All Up

So, there you have it – some of the most anticipated PlayStation sequels coming our way. Each one offers something unique, whether it’s the thrill of web-slinging, the emotional rollercoaster of a Norse apocalypse, or the beauty of a reimagined RPG classic.

As gamers, this is the stuff that keeps us going. These sequels remind us why we love gaming in the first place: the thrill of new adventures, the joy of unforgettable characters, and the chance to lose ourselves in worlds filled with endless possibilities.

Until these games hit the shelves, we’ll just have to wait (not so) patiently, replay their predecessors, and dream about what’s to come. And trust me, the wait will be worth it.
