Here’s a look at the year’s 10 most anticipated games for Sony’s PlayStation 4 console, excluding rumored 2015 projects with as yet indeterminate timeframes (hello _Final Fantasy XV_, _Tearaway Unfolded_, _Rime_ and _Gran Turismo 7_!)

### The Order: 1886

Imagine _The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen_ by way of T.H. White’s _The Once and Future King_, staged in Victorian London, with dollops of Lovecraftian horror. Wrap all of that around a third-person shooter that’s like a gothic _Gears of War_, and the only question’s whether the gunplay–criticized as ho-hum in hands-on demos–can live up to the visually ambitious set design.

Available: February 20

### Bloodborne

Revered _Demon’s Souls_ and _Dark Souls_ developer From Software’s latest vamp on the existential abattoir maintains the concept’s combat-focused, risk-reward core, but refines how you do battle, lending you more agile combatants and Victorian-styled weapons capable of transformations that let you vary melee tactics to counter a broader range of combat scenarios.

Available: March 24

### No Man’s Sky

In your imagination, open universe ambler _No Man’s Sky_ really is as infinite as developer Hello Games keeps boasting, giving you an endless, procedurally generated cosmos to plumb (and enough to do that you’ll never tire of doing it). In reality, no one has the faintest idea whether all the game’s random-seeded vastness is going to be beautifully significant, or astronomically shallow. Fingers triple-crossed, then.

Available: TBD 2015

### Persona 5


Developer Atlus’ fifth “high school shindig plus dungeon reconnoitering” roleplayer has enormous shoes to fill, after _Persona 4_ made just about everyone’s “best roleplaying game in _forever_” list. All we know about _Persona 5_ is that–weirdly but also intriguingly–director Katsura Hashino’s been pitching the game as an interactive self-help experience.

Available: TBD 2015

### Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Since _Uncharted_ series mainstay Amy Hennig [abruptly left developer Naughty Dog](http://time.com/70411/whats-happening-with-uncharted-and-the-last-of-us-developer-naughty-dog/ "undefined") last year, I’ve been worried about Nate and Sully’s fourth tour of duty. The game looks as terrific as you’d expect it to in preliminary gameplay videos, so the question’s whether the series’ conventions–another “lost treasure” adventure, clambering over elaborate scenery (mostly on autopilot in the prior games) and relentlessly gunning down hordes of foes–haven’t overstayed their welcome.


Available: TBD 2015

### Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture

End of world stories are as cliched as Adam and Eve potboilers (we’re nothing if not species-obsessed with alpha/omega narratives). But this one’s by _Dear Esther_ creator The Chinese Room (they’re actually located in Brighton, U.K.), and so worthy of notice–an existential “adventure” examining the lives of six people living in the English village of Shropshire as the apocalypse unfolds.

Available: TBD 2015

### Deep Down


Jump to the 4:25 mark in the video above to see developer Capcom Online Games’ original tease for _Deep Down_ back in 2013, an extraordinary-looking dungeon crawler (even then) with optional multiplayer elements. It’s had to endure a barrage of presumptive comparisons to _Dark Souls_, but there are worse things, right?

Available: TBD 2015

### Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

Grander than any _Disgaea_ game to date, developer Nippon Ichi Software’s recalibrated tactical roleplaying adventure will reportedly feature bigger battles (up to 100 characters on screen at once, courtesy the PS4) and new combat wrinkles, including team-up maneuvers.


Available: TBD 2015

### Let It Die

Thought it metamorphosed from one game (_Lily Bergamo_) to another at E3 last year, developer Grasshopper Manufacture’s original hack-and-slash, extreme action, online-focused premise appears intact. The difference appears to lie in the way death works, prompting dispatched players to trade roles as they transition between sessions, and culling non-player characters from players’ deceased avatars.

Available: TBD 2015

### Ratchet & Clank


Alas, Sony has released neither a trailer nor screens of its upcoming _Ratchet & Clank_ reboot (until then, you’ll have to settle for the film trailer above, first shown at E3 last year). What do we know about the game? That it’s essentially a remake of the original, released back in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, updated to take advantage of the PS4’s oomph and coincide with the film’s arrival sometime later this year.

Available: TBD 2015
