AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
PlayStation 5 is getting three major game releases on August 27, including the long-awaited port of Metal Gear Solid 4, a new Plague Tale prequel, and a Star Wars tactical game.
If your digital backlog is currently begging for mercy, you might want to look away. Game Rant reports that PlayStation 5 players are facing a surprisingly heavy release schedule on Thursday, August 27, with three major titles dropping on the exact same day. Picking up all three at launch will run players around 170 dollars before tax, making it an expensive single day for anyone trying to stay current on new releases.
Headlining the drop is Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. Priced at 49.
99 dollars, the package includes Metal Gear: Ghost Babel, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and most importantly, the long-awaited port of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This marks the first time the PS3 classic has escaped its eighth-generation hardware prison, a moment franchise fans have requested for over a decade. Alongside the stealth compilation, Focus Entertainment is launching Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy at 59.
99 dollars. Serving as a prequel to the acclaimed narrative series, this entry shifts the focus away from traditional stealth mechanics and leans harder into direct action while maintaining the series focus on strong character writing and visual fidelity. Rounding out the trio is Star Wars Zero Company, a new turn-based tactical game from Bit Reactor and EA.
Also retailing at 59.99 dollars, the title channels heavy XCOM vibes complete with permadeath and deep squad customization, offering a fresh tactical angle for fans of the galaxy far, far away. For players balancing battle passes, live service updates, and single-player campaigns, clearing a weekend for this triple threat of drops might require some careful scheduling.
