Games Coming Later
The following games will be available for the PlayStation 5, but not at launch.
Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy takes place in the Potterverse, but far before Harry, Hermione, and Ron ever set foot there. It’s set in the 1800s, but don’t worry—the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade are still around. You’ll be playing as your own character attending Hogwarts, and the open-world RPG will allow players to master spells, craft potions, explore various locations, and—no big deal—decide the fate of the wizarding world. The game was developed by Avalanche and published by Warner Bros. Games under the Portkey Games label.
Releases in 2021
Final Fantasy XVI
Final Fantasy XVI is an all-new, PS5-exclusive addition to the series. (Note that the exclusivity may be timed.) The latest in the long-running series is directed by Hiroshi Takai and produced by Naoki Yoshida. Other details are scarce—according to the announcement post, the “next big information reveal is scheduled for 2021″—but in the meantime, the trailer’s magical visuals and soaring soundtrack speak for itself.
