July 14th
Death stranding
One of the big unknowns in this list of upcoming releases is the possibility that the latest (and quite controversial) Kojima title will finally give up the exclusivity of the Sony console and allow us to enjoy this great job for the PC with improved optimization .

Spirit of Tsushima
If the recently awarded GOTY 2019, Sekiro Shados Die Twice, taught us anything, then the Japanese feudal era justifies us. For this reason, Ghost of Tsushima has wanted to be one of the most exciting upcoming releases since its first announcement. However, if we add an intense, addicting and emotional story to this premise, a combat system based on both stealth and the successful Souls-Like formula, and direct support (and budget) for exclusive Sony products. We can only hope for a true masterpiece.
And is that after the recent success of The Last of Us 2 launch, we find another of the big bets and exclusive PS4 for 2020.
Paper Mario: The Origami King
