Best upcoming PS4 games to look forward to in 2021 and beyond
Time doesn't ever stop flying by, but that also means that there are plenty of new games being announced all the time. Even if the PlayStation 5 is finally out, the PS4 still has a host of great games coming down the pike.
Here, then, are the cream of the crop, with release dates and trailers for each game. You'll find them listed in chronological order according to their release date, so that you can see what to put on your wishlist next.

- Release date: 7 October 2021
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PS5, Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
Far Cry is back, and this time it looks like it might have its most believable villain yet. You'll be exploring the island nation of Yara and trying to free it from a dastardly dictator, using a huge range of cobbled-together weaponry to have an explosive good time.
Battlefield 2042

- Release date: 22 October 2021
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PS5, Xbox and PC
- Publisher: EA
The next Battlefield game looks like it should be absolutely brilliant fun, and even if the PS4 will only be able to support 64-player maps, it should still be another absolute playground of destruction. The series is returning to modern weaponry, too, so we're looking forward to plenty of helicopter, jet and tank-based action.
Call of Duty Vanguard

- Release date: 5 November 2021
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PS5, Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Activision
The next Call of Duty is taking us back to World War II for an action-packed campaign along with the expected frenetic and fast-paced multiplayer action. It's also going to bring a new map and weapons to Call of Duty: Warzone, so there's plenty to get excited for.
Dying Light 2
- Release date: 7 December 2021
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PS5, Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Techland
squirrel_widget_148929
One of our favourite zombie games of the last decade returns with more first-person parkour fun and even scarier nighttime runs. One of the other new features is a dynamic game world that shifts and changes based on your choices during key missions. Your game, therefore, can end up being very different from another player's.
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines 2
- Release date: 2021
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One and PC
- Publisher: Paradox Interactive
squirrel_widget_160962
It's only taken 15 years but a sequel to Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is on its way. It is an in-depth, first-person RPG, like the original, but this time on consoles as well as PC. We can't wait.
Rainbow Six Extraction
- Release date: January 2022
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
- See the official site
squirrel_widget_160986
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is a three-player tactical co-op FPS, a spin-off from the Rainbow Six Siege Outbreak mode that made an appearance in 2018 - maybe even a direct sequel. It's set in the near future where a mutated alien parasite is infecting human hosts and causing no end of problems. Players must team up to battle it out against the environment and survive unpredictable missions.
Elden Ring
- Release date: 21 January 2022
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One and PC
- Publisher: FromSoftware
squirrel_widget_160914
Elden Ring is a new fantasy RPG that's bound to be incredibly punishing and intriguing too. It's the result of a collaboration between George R. R. Martin (author of Game of Thrones) and the team behind Dark Souls. Expect a wonderful fantasy game with a whole lot of death and mayhem.
Horizon Forbidden West
squirrel_widget_5897142
- Release date: 18 February 2022
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PS5
- Publisher: Sony
Aloy is back for an even bigger adventure after Horizon Zero Dawn became one of the PS4's greatest sleeper hits. This time she's exploring out west, and from the gameplay we've seen so far it looks absolutely great. You'll also get a free upgrade to the PS5 version if you score a next-gen console down the line.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
- Release date: Spring 2022
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One, PC and Switch
- Publisher: Warner Bros.
- See the official site
squirrel_widget_160902
Love Star Wars and Lego? Then we've got good news. This new Lego-themed Star Wars game that's set to let you play through all nine Star Wars films in one massive adventure. One potentially awesome highlight will be the ability to travel to any planet, in any order, at any time.
Away: The Survival Series
- Release date: TBC
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on PC
- Publisher: Breaking Walls
Playing as a Sugar Glider flying mammal, you have to avoid predators and other dangerous beasts in order to survive in this third-person action-adventure game.
Kerbal Space Program 2
- Release date: 2022
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One and PC
- Publisher: Private Division
You can once again attempt to send Kerbals into space with a bigger, friendly sequel to one of the best tongue-in-cheek simulation games of all time.
Skull & Bones
- Release date: TBC
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
squirrel_widget_148937
A classic example of why not to show games at a major show too long before they are ready, Skull & Bones didn't even make a reappearance at E3 2019 or Gamescom in the same year. That put its previous "2019" vague release date into the realms of unlikely. We might see it at in 2021 instead, it is thought.
Beyond Good And Evil 2
- Release date: TBC
- PS4 exclusive? No, also on Xbox One and PC
- Publisher: Ubisoft
squirrel_widget_148926
Announced during E3 in June 2017, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is long overdue, especially considering the first was released over 15 years ago, and we still have no clue when it might be ready. The game's other-world setting - where multiple species communicate and interact - is quirky, cheeky and stunning. Think The Fifth Element in video game form and you're halfway there.
