Synduality, a new sci-fi third-person shooter from Bandai Namco, was announced at PlayStation's September 2022 State of Play.

In Synduality you team up with an AI partner, Magus, to "reclaim lost ground for humanity" in the remains of a ruined world where poisonous rain and dangerous creatures run amok. Drifters like the player character are the humans that brave it all in the name of collecting a rare resource called AO Crystals. According to a post on the PlayStation blog, the development team at Bandai Namco Entertainment is looking to explore how humans and AI interact and coexist with this sci-fi adventure.

Players can customize their Mecha's appearance and weapons over the course of the game. Synduality will also have a PvPvE online mode where players are challenged to clear missions and can potentially thwart one another's progress.

Synduality is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC in 2023. Tekken 8 was also officially revealed during the State of Play along with many other announcements. Catch them all in IGN's September 2022 State of Play news roundup.

Ironwood Studios has announced its first game, Pacific Drive, coming in 2023.

The new title puts players behind the driver's seat of a car in what looks like a post-apocalyptic version of the Pacific Northwest. The developers call their title a "run-based first-person driving survival game."

According to Ironwood Studios, players explore the "Zone" with the car as their lifeline. Search for resources, improve your car, and keep it powered to continue exploring and evading danger.

In a PlayStation Blog Post, the Pacific Northwest became an irradiated wasteland after it was claimed by the United States government. The Olympic Exclusion Zone is the result of technological research gone horribly awry.

Players will make trips from their garage into the Zone and during this time discover the secrets and horrors hidden within the area.

Ironwood Studios has been working on Pacific Drive since the studio was founded in 2019 and is promising surreal settings that players must venture through and survive.

For everything else, check out IGN for all the new announcements from today's PlayStation State of Play.

During Sony's State of Play today, we got another look at Hogwarts Legacy, specifically a little taste of a console-exclusive quest involving a shop in the village near Hogwarts: Hogsmeade.

The trailer shows the shop of a woman named Madame Mason, who is apparently putting it up for sale - but there seems to be something strange at the heart of her desire to sell. There's a creepy basement involved, and a run of bad luck, a hallway that is much longer than it initially appears, and some extremely creepy mannquins near the end of the trailer.

The end of the trailer revealed that this is all a PlayStation-exclusive quest called "The Haunted Hogsmeade Shop", which includes an additional dungeon, a cosmetic set, and an in-game shop.

A PS Blog post following the show gave more detail about both the quest and Hogwarts Legacy in general. Specifically, we learned that the shop reward for finishing the quest lets you sell items and gear at better rates than anywhere else. Additionally, PS4 and PS5 pre-orders of Hogwarts Legacy will unlock the Felix Felicis potion recipe, a luck potion that reveals gear chests on the minimap for one in-game day.

The blog also noted discussion around a previous trailer for the game revolving around a quest where you decide whether or not to torture another student by casting Crucio, or if you will allow it to be cast on you. The quest itself is completely optional, but is intended to explore "an ever-present question about the Dark Arts; are they still evil if they could save a life?"

Hogwarts Legacy has remained controversial since its announcement due to repeated transphobic comments made by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. While Warner Bros. has said the author is not directly involved with the game, studio leadership has added that "she's entitled to express her personal opinion" and she nonetheless owns the IP and will earn royalties from anything Harry Potter-related.

Hogwarts Legacy launches on February 10, 2023 for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. You can catch up with everything else shown off during the State of Play in our roundup.

Yakuza's 2014 spinoff game Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin is getting released for the first time outside of Japan with a full remake in Like a Dragon: Ishin, Sony revealed at the September 13 State of Play. This remake will be the first RGG Studio game to be built on Unreal Engine 4.

Ishin brings familiar and new characters to 1860s Kyo, a fictional version of Kyoto that explores the end of the samurai era. Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu takes on the role of Sakamoto Ryoma, a man proficient with swords, guns, and summoning a tiger to attack enemies (though the real historical figure Kiryu plays in this game may not have been well-versed in that last part). As with other games in the franchise, Like a Dragon: Ishin will also feature minigames and Heat Actions for combat.

Like a Dragon: Ishin is coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC globally in February 2023. RGG Studios has its own event, RGG Summit 2022, scheduled for September 14 at 3PM PT / 19:00 JST, putting it just before the 2022 Tokyo Game Show.
