What a turbulent time it is -- not only for the games industry, but for basically everything. With most people trapped indoors as we deal with the coronavirus outbreak, 2020 is turning out to be one heck of a year so far. Until things improve, we need to find ways to entertain ourselves, and video games are perfect for escaping from real world issues.
While we don't recommend you spend your entire quarantine playing PlayStation 4 games, we can at least go through some of the titles you might be looking to purchase in order to kill some time. The Last of Us: Part II is easily the biggest game in the next two months with its revised release date of 19th June, but there's plenty more to look forward to. Let's have a peek.

The Wonderful 101 Remastered - 19th May
A remaster nobody expected, but it seems 2020 is a year full of surprises. PlatinumGames took to Kickstarter to crowdfund the return of this former Wii U exclusive action game, and it's been a tremendous success. The game is coming to PS4 for the first time, and is a very unusual beast that sees you controlling an army of heroes combining to take on huge enemies in colourful battles.
The Last of Us: Part II - 19th June
After delays, leaks, and other drama besides, we really cannot wait to finally play this Naughty Dog sequel. Telling the story of a vengeful Ellie out for blood, this is the follow-up to one of PlayStation's most beloved games ever. Set to have an even darker tone than the first outing, this will be quite the ride, and it's bound to be absolutely gorgeous to boot. Little has been shown of this PS4 exclusive, but it's now just around the corner. Hype!
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated - 23rd June
Are you ready, kids? The beloved PS2 platformer is making a return on PS4 in this vibrant remake. Released at the height of the character's popularity, this 3D collect-athon struck a chord with fans in 2003 with its humour and surprisingly robust gameplay. It's unlikely to blow anything out of the water, but if you're looking to cool off with a lighthearted action adventure, this could be worth splashing out on.

RPG Maker on the 30th June, yes completely forgot about that.
We have a PS4 port of Ys: Memories of Celceta... Did not see that coming...
You've got the wrong date for SAO there.
@Matroska Thanks, hadn't caught that.
Not that much that I'm personally interested in here. So I'll just work on my backlog, and perhaps check out some of the current sales.
probably the on;y person thats more interested in maneater than last of us part 2.
so just man eater for me then.
is the ys game released in Europe?
Just wish Sony would give us the new date for Iron Man VR. It’s my most anticipated game of the year.
Tlou 2 and the wonderful 101 for me
@johnny30 It's not in the NIS Europe store...

Slow months, time to get some older stuff.
One of these games is going to be a dumpster fire. Can you guess what it is?
TLoU2 and TW101 on Switch will be getting my attention
Don't think I'll be getting anything new until July.
May and June really are slow!
@TrueAssassin86x you buy a game you don't like because of haters? what a strange act of loyalty!
@BalsBigBrother to be fair the site needs to make money and at least here someone puts their name to the article, on NL it is just NLStaff cop-out
Rock of ages 3!!! ROA2 could have been my favorite game ever but the controls seemed wonky. Maybe they fixed it. Im curious about maneater.
@andreoni79 @johnny30 https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/ys-memories-of-celceta-2755421
Yes! So excited. Looks like im buying it for a 3rd time. Ill wait a bit to see if amazon or shopto list it in a couple of weeks, but otherwise 24.99 really isnt bad
@Rob_230 It's published by Marvelous Inc. this time, but only in some EU countries.
Maneater, just so I can break out into some Hall & Oates.
Maneater is a cert for a plus game in the future
Ys Memories of Celcetta is fantastic. One of the best games I played on vita.
But Yh, TLOU2.
The special edition includes a crafting manual...? Surely that should just be in the game.
No Minecraft Dungeons?
Excited for that one.
