Outside of the previously known titles, there was one brand new game unveiled. SIFU is a fresh beat-em-up title from Sloclap Games, the studio behind Absolver.
It’s a stylish indie game with a core focus on hand-to-hand combat.
While highly anticipated PS5 games such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, or Horizon Forbidden West were not on display, the showcase gave us a good look at what’s coming over the next few months.
