Square Enix’s Project Athia is scheduled for a 2022 launch. Details on the game are still mostly unknown, but it’s being developed by the same team that was behind Final Fantasy XV.

Several high profile indie games appear in the fine print as well. Stray, a game about a cat that surprised fans during a Sony State of Play event, is coming in October 2021. Solar Ash, the latest game from the developers behind Hyper Light Drifter, is coming in June 2021. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming this March, while Little Devil Inside launches in July.

The video confirmed some big delays as well. The text notes that Capcom’s sci-fi game Pragmata is scheduled for 2023, despite originally being slated as a 2022 game.

Curiously, Ratchet & Clank: Drift Apart only receives a vague 2021 launch window in the text. In a similar bit of video fine print last year, Sony said the game was anticipated to launch in the first half of 2021. The change in language could indicate that the game is delayed.

PlayStation opened its September State of Play presentation with a little surprise for Astro Bot fans. Developer Team Asobi announced that it will be adding 10 new bots to the game for free later this fall.

Astro Bot is filled with bots of popular PlayStation characters and iconography, so the new bots will certainly follow that same trend. We don't know the full list (studio head Nicolas Doucet said there will be more information soon), but the trailer introduced Eve from Stellar Blade and a helldiver from Helldivers 2.
