PlayStation Japan has released a new sizzle reel featuring some upcoming games headed to the PS5 this year. For those not familiar with this kind of trailer, it’s usually a mash-up of different titles from various studios (first- and third-party) that’s spliced together to drum up hype.
The video’s concept is “departing from a small, unique room into the vast world of games,” so the animation features a room with the characters playing in front of a TV and then transitioning to a game.

It’s Sony PlayStation Japan blending art and games, and I’m all for it. Hopefully, the next sizzle reel we get from the US can match up to this one’s vibe.
