It’s official! The next big PS5 exclusive, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, will officially launch on June 11 this year.

Hey there. Pull up a chair and get comfortable, because February is the month of love.While I light a candle and uncork the finest bottle of bubbly that R20 can buy at the local Spar Tops shop, maybe you’d like to take a gander at the sultry games on offer this month? Now granted, we’re still in the quiet period of the year, but there are a few games that are ready to get busy with your thumbs, if ya know what I mean.

Remember Biomutant? Me neither to be honest, but I after I did some genuine digging this morning I realised that this game should have been on my radar back when it was announced in 2017 by publisher THQ Nordic. The elevator pitch for the game already has me sold, as it functions like a furry version of Bayonetta 3 with a heaping dollop of RPG thrown into the mix for good measure.

Those tricksy release dates! Why does theys always lie to us?

It’s a big year for Sony, now that the PlayStation 5 is out in the wild and its library is ready to be populated with a number of first-party games. 2020 kicked off with the likes of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Astro’s Playroom, and Demon’s Souls showing off the potential of the PS5. In 2021, its power and that lightning-quick solid state drive take center-stage with the return of Ratchet & Clank.

Resident Evil Village, the eighth game in the main event series of zombies and corporate conspiracies, will officially launch on May 7, 2021. Hey that’s this year! Revealed during the Resident Evil Showcase digital event, the release date also came with a pleasant bonus surprise, as the game will have a large rollout on current and last-gen systems.

By now, everyone’s familiar with Cyberpunk 2077’s less than ideal launch. Announced in 2012 and given the fancy cinematic trailer reveal a year later, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t exactly look or feel like a game that spent eight years in development. According to a new report by Bloomberg, that’s because development didn’t kick off properly until 2016.

The Pearl and Diamond remakes will also be a more traditional Pokémon game with capture mechanics more closely tied to the original games that the Pokémon Go-inspired systems present in the Let’s Go and Sword/Shield games that have appeared on the Nintendo Switch so far.
