How Forspoken Can Benefit From the Delay, and the Reception of Babylon's Fall
On March 9, Sony held a State of Play event that showcased some upcoming titles for gamers to look forward to. Highlights from the event include Ghostwire: Tokyo receiving yet another trailer, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection from Konami launching in 2022, and Trek to Yomi, which is sure to please all samurai nerds. It was also revealed that Returnal will receive free DLC in the form of «Ascension,» which features a co-op mode and a survival mode called the Tower of Sisyphus. Not all news was exciting, though, as it was confirmed once again that Forspoken has been delayed until October 11.
