The March 9, 2022 PlayStation State of Play promised to focus mostly on Japanese games for PlayStation 4 and 5, and that’s exactly what we got. However, there were a lot of curve balls nonetheless. Returnal is getting a co-op update. Capcom announced a multiplayer dinosaur shooter called Exoprimal. A ton of awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games are being repackaged for modern platforms as The Cowabunga Collection. Square Enix announced two separate, new games (and neither one was Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, unfortunately). Basically, whatever you thought of the event, you can probably agree it was full of surprises. So below is a full list of video games shown or announced at the March 9, 2022 PlayStation State of Play.
