2025 PlayStation 5 Open World Game Getting Unexpected Sequel

A 2025 PS5 open world sandbox game is getting a sequel, which comes as a surprise given the first game’s reception. Wreckreation 2 will be a sequel to the 2025 arcade racer that earned a lukewarm reception from players and critics alike.

The Wreckreation IP has been handed over to a new studio this time. The original game was developed by Three Fields Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic. The sequel is in development at When Tides Turn — a studio founded by Criterion Games‘ co-founder Fiona Sperry.

A release date or release window for Wreckreation 2 wasn’t revealed, but you can check out an announcement trailer below:

“Over the last six months we’ve been talking directly to players about what they want from a modern arcade driving game, and Wreckreation 2 is the result of those conversations,” Sperry said in a press release. “From handling and progression to events and world design, our community has already helped shape key aspects of the experience. We’re building this game with the players, not just for them.”

We’ll update our readers when a PS5 release date for Wreckreation 2 is announced.

Sony Quietly Retracts PlayStation Plus Premium PS5 Game for July

Sony has quietly updated the PS Blog to note that a PS Plus Premium July 2026 game was mistakenly announced for the PS5. Like many, I assumed that a PS5 version of Indigo Prophecy / Fahrenheit meant that a fresh emulated port with new features would be released, as we have seen in some cases, but that’s not what we’re getting today.

Sony ‘incorrectly stated’ that PS Plus Premium game Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit was coming to PS5

Today’s catalog addition is nothing more than the 2016 PS4 port of Indigo Prophecy, which often goes for as low as $2 in PS Store sales. This is a bit unfortunate because the game doesn’t run too well on the PS5 and could do with a proper current-gen port, but alas, that’s not happening.

This also means that my assumption that the 2016 PS4 listing would be removed and replaced with a modern port was wrong. My apologies for that one. I should have known better than to assume Sony was kind enough to offer two new classics — something PS Plus Premium users haven’t seen in a long time.

Indigo Prophecy isn’t on sale right now, so you’ll have to fork out $14.99 for the dated PS4 port. We recommend waiting for the next price drop.

PlayStation 5 Remake of Fan Favorite PS1 Action Game Incoming – Rumor

A rumor cropped up over the weekend that Capcom is working on a PS5 remake of a fan favorite 1999 PS1 action adventure game. Directed and produced by Shinji Mikami, Dino Crisis has not seen a new entry since 2003, and fans have been begging Capcom to revive the series. If this rumor is to be believed, that wish might come true.

PS5 remake of Capcom action-adventure game Dino Crisis has reportedly been in development since 2022

This rumor comes from Team Biohazard who, like Dusk Golem, mostly specialize in Capcom news and leaks. Team Biohazard has had some accurate leaks in the past, but do seem to get their wires crossed with Dusk Golem sometimes, so take this rumor with a customary grain of salt.

According to Team Biohazard, a modern remake of Dino Crisis has been in development since at least 2022. They claim that we might see the game sometime between 2028-2029, which means that it’ll end up being a digital-only launch.

Although Capcom hasn’t revived Dino Crisis thus far, it did experiment with a dinosaur-themed action game when it released Exoprimal in 2023. Unfortunately, the multiplayer shooter got a lukewarm reception, and a year after its release, Capcom ended support for the game.
