Want to know what’s coming to your PlayStation platform of choice in 2015? Sony has published an absolutely massive list of everything currently scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita over the course of 2015. The list comes with the caveat that development schedules are liable to change, and parts of the list could be rendered inaccurate without warning, but Sony intends to keep the info updated.

The year got off to a strong start with exciting new titles and revisited classics making their way to new platforms. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected brings Volition’s hyperbolically silly take on open world games like Grand Theft Auto. Life is Strange launched with its first episode, following in the footsteps of Telltale Games, whose Game of Thrones series is now two episodes in. Grim Fandango and Duke Nukem 3D both came to Vita, allowing a whole new generation of gamers to experience these ’90s classics.

Coming up, The Order: 1886 finally hits PS4 on February 20, followed soon thereafter by Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Dynasty Warriors 8, and Resident Evil Revelations 2. Battlefield Hardline  reaches its delayed release in March, along with the Dark Souls spiritual successor Bloodbourne and the remastered Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Announced dates drop off in the following months, but fans of brutal action have plenty to look forward to in the spring and summer with Mortal Kombat X, The Witcher III, Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Elder Scrolls Online.

Lastly, some of the most anticipated games on the list don’t yet have dates more specific than 2015. No Man’s Sky by Hello Games promises to be one of the largest and most sophisticated space sandboxes ever. Ratchet & Clank reinvents Insomniac’s classic platformer for the new console. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End returns to Nathan Drake and the adventure saga that helped put PS3 on the map.

Check out the whole list over on PlayStation Blog. Which games are you most excited for on PlayStation this coming year?

PlayStation 6: release date speculation, price, specs, and more
sony reveals customizable ps5 dualsense edge controller front and back

In a recent quote, Sony Senior Vice President Naomi Matsuoka said: "Looking ahead, PS5 will enter the latter stage of its life cycle." Many in the industry took that to mean that we may be hearing about the next PlayStation console sooner rather than later.

Considering Sony has yet to break its naming convention, it feels safe to assume whatever future home console we get will be called the PlayStation 6. But not only has the name not been officially confirmed, but neither has the idea of a next-generation PlayStation console or even a PS5 Pro. It's almost a guarantee, but technically nothing is set in stone. Rumors and potential leaks have already started stirring up excitement, so let's see what the future of PlayStation may look like according to the rumors.

Visions of Mana paints a promising picture of the RPG series’ return
Red-haired girl with horns and dragon wing in Visions of Mana

The vibrant settings and character designs in Visions of Mana instantly alerted me that I'd be knee-deep into fantasy, riding on the back of a giant black wolf into the grassy plains of Fallow Steppe. A lush landscape welcomed me as I chatted with my teammates on top of my mount and tussled with little woodland monsters.

I had this experience at this year's PAX East, where I went hands-on with a demo of the upcoming RPG. I never played previous Mana games, but I have enough experience with RPGs and real-time combat to name it one of the most gorgeous, action-packed games I played at the show. The shiny open-world and slick combat I experienced point to a strong comeback for the Mana series coming later this summer.

Sony is indeed working on a more advanced version of the PlayStation 5 that could feature a more powerful GPU that's potentially up to three times faster for specific tasks compared to current PS5 models.

YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead claims to have obtained a technical overview document for the PS5 Pro, code-named Trinity, and Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson has confirmed the leaked specifications' accuracy, which suggests a holiday 2024 release window for the console.
