Sackboy: A Big Adventure is shaping up to be such a good PlayStation 5 launch game that we reckon you should be considering picking it up alongside Demon's Souls and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The adorable, knitted character returns in this solo adventure that looks like it'll be a ton of fun in a new story trailer debuted today. Check it out above.
Stephen Fry hasn't returned to do voiceover, but his replacement still does a good job of conveying the story. Sackboy is off on a big adventure, as the name would suggest, and you're invited along for the ride. Neat, sign us up! Loads of new gameplay tidbits feature both solo and co-op scenarios and even cutscenes. This is very much Play, rather than Play, Create, Share. Will you be playing Sackboy: A Big Adventure during the PS5's launch period? Admire the knitting on Sackboy's face in the comments below.

Disappointed at the lack of Fry but this still looks enjoyable indeed. Sumo Digital is a developer you can rely on to make a high quality game. Will be one of my first purchases for the PS5.
Pre-ordered my special edition yesterday!
At least it's not $70. Then I'd have to demand Stephen Fry. It still won't be the same without him, though.
Excited for this though! This is the only launch day game I'm getting. Not into Soulsborne, and Spiderman pricing made that a "defer for sales" purchase. LBP games were always wonderful but always gimped in favor of the creator aspects except the Vita one. Can't wait for a fully fledged Sackboy game. This looks like a cross between LBP and Tearaway, which can't be a bad thing at all!
I loved LBP on my vita. I’ll probably pick this up at some point
Looks awesome, perfect family/coop game for launch!
This with demon's souls and spider-man mm will be my ps5 launch games
Oh, and astrobot too of course.
So is the PS4 version getting a different story trailer or no story at all in the PS4 version or is the PS4 digital only so no box art?
Reading the article I couldn't even remember if this was coming out on PS4 or not - my brain keeps confusing it with Astrobot I think - but then I finally saw the Related Games section at the bottom.
@NEStalgia If they called this Puppeteer 2 they could probably get away with it.
So, anyone wondering if Sackboy just being brown boring Sackboy in the trailer means lots of $ DLC skins like LBP had?
This looks really good, fantastic job Sumo👍 When I have a PS5 I will get this game and happily pay it's full price.
Gotta have my platformers every now and then. This might actually be my PS5 launch game! =)
1. Outrageous that Stephen Fry isnt back
2. If this had Mario on the box it would be one of the most anticipated titles of the year. This game will surprise people. It looks fantastic
This game looks SO good!
This looks great! Good for you Sackboy!
This game looks brilliant!The game I chose with my PS5 bundle.
Probably more excited for this than any other launch title
@rjejr I suspect the PS4 version will look about the same and will have the same content just with slightly slower loading times. Be interesting to know if the game is Pro enhanced for 4K.
@sanderson72 Thanks. I'm old, it's hard for me to keep track. 😂
You'd think a website devoted to Playstation would let people know what Playstation consoles games are coming out on, but it's all about the clicks, and PS4 games don't get clicks, PS5 games do. So now I'm going to have to spend the next year or so reading every article about every new Playstation 5 game trying to remember or figure out if it's also coming out on the PS4.
I almost stopped using this website 6 years ago when the same thing happened with PS4 games also releasing on PS3. Drove me nuts. And I was a lot saner back then, been a rough 4 years.
Ya know, if Sony just would have kept to their "We know generations" mantra this wouldn't be much of an issue, but with games like Spiderman Mike's Morales, Sackboy and Horizon Forbidden West also comingto PS4 it makes me wonder about future games like God of War. I think that will be PS5 only, but who really knows?
Trailer got me interested again, but not enough to pay full price..will wait a few years for $20 sale.
@rjejr "We know generations" but we have absolutely no knowledge about the previous iterations. <oooh look , a shiny thing!>
C'mon PushSquare, give us some PS4 details too! There are probably about 115 million units out there and not everyone is going to update to a Vorlon just yet.
@sanderson72 Man, I had to Google "Vorlon" and B5 is 1 of my favorite shows. This is why I can't keep up with which console a game is going to be on.
When I read Vorlon my brain immediately went to Kronos. I thought maybe Sony could use it for future PS5 ads but it really should be an ad for Xbox Series X. 😂
@rjejr I think the XBox advert should feature the giant monolith from 2001! lol
I was definitely thinking of

@sanderson72 Pretty sure that's an upside down N64 controller. 😂
