PS4 Q2
PS4 fans enter a bit more murky water when examining the console’s offerings for the second quarter of the year. The excitement is still there, notably in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2, Detroit: Become Human, and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, but one can’t help but wonder what some third-party or indie publishers may have in store for release during this time. It’s also worth noting that because the aforementioned Red Dead sequel is expected to release in the second quarter of 2018, some publishers may be looking to avoid poor sales by clashing with the behemoth. There’s also the positive word-of-mouth of an E3 reveal to consider, as well as the gaming drought of summer to be wary of.
As in the prior quarter, however, niche titles are still expected to release for the system between April and June. Titles like Trails of Cold Steel II, Dragon Quest Builders 2, and the next Robotics;Notes may work well to satisfy that Japanese appetite fans have acclimated during the first portion of the year. It’s also worth noting that crowd-funded projects Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and the System Shock remake are projected to release here, hopefully to more positive acclaim than other fan-backed initiatives have garnered in the past.
