Sony’s latest patent for an AI-driven ‘Ghost Player’ technology could transform how gamers interact with their favorite titles. This innovative feature allows players to summon an AI-generated version of their character to either demonstrate solutions to challenging puzzles or complete sections of the game entirely. Imagine being stuck on a tricky level in an Uncharted game and having Nathan Drake himself guide you through itthis is the future Sony is envisioning.

Sony’s recent State of Play presentation focused exclusively on games from Japan and Asia, delivering a whopping 28 announcements in just 40 minutes. Among the highlights were exciting reveals like the remake of Dragon Quest VII, set to launch on February 5, 2026, and the return of the iconic Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, marking its comeback after two decades. The showcase also featured a mix of indie gems and major titles, including new DLC for Gran Turismo 7 and the highly anticipated Elden Ring Nightreign expansion.

In a surprising turn of events, yet another game resembling the beloved Animal Crossing has surfaced on the PlayStation Store. Titled Anime Village Online, this life simulation game is being developed by Wisnu Sudirman and is currently slated for a 2027 release. The game promises players a cozy experience where they can build their dream villages and decorate their homes, reminiscent of the charming gameplay that fans adore in Nintendo’s classic franchise.

In a recent statement, Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, emphasized that Sony is taking a “thoughtful” and “measured” approach to porting its games to PC. This strategy aims to balance the growth of its audience with the need to maintain the value of the PS5 console. Unlike Xbox, which releases games on both platforms simultaneously, Sony has opted for a more conservative timeline, typically waiting at least a year after the console release to launch PC versions of its major titles.
