EXILEDGE probably wasn’t on your PS5 wishlist, but this ChinaJoy 2024 demo looks decent. While a large chunk of the demo is dedicated to teaching attendees the gameplay mechanics, the latter half of the video focuses on a boss fight which has Returnal vibes. In addition to a two-pronged weapon loadout, the main character also has a couple of skills he can trigger in combat to buff his capabilities.
Sony’s signed this game to its China Hero Project, so it clearly sees potential here, and we think the production values look pretty impressive. It’ll be interesting to see how the developer keeps this gameplay loop interesting, because while the abilities look fun, blasting away at enemies with big health bars could get tedious once the initial novelty wears thin.
Nevertheless, it’s another promising project in PS5’s portfolio – we’re looking forward to seeing more.

"Some Impressive Production Values"
These makes me think bad frame rate. I hope I'm wrong.
Looks like a decent enough game. Reminds me of the remnant series but in a good way.
looks so boring
@AlekseyVolkov so many shooters
@AlekseyVolkov I logged on to write the exact same thing.
Looks incredibly boring.
Looks so generic.
Third person shooter, pass
Yeah it looks okay to me, I wonder what the story is about though.
Anyone else notice every game coming to PS5 and not PS4 is either live service or a shooter?...
Lol. These comments. If the player character was the scantily clad lady in the trailer, the reaction would be completely opposite. "Wow, how refreshing! And what a middle finger to people who don't get hard for cartoons!"
Anyway, doesn't look like Returnal. No bullet hell.
@WiiWareWave to be fair , other live service games flop that try any other different type of genre/gameplay but i blame that more on them being genuinely trash
Seems I'm in the minority here but thought this looked good. If it can nail the gameplay I'm in.
Looks as though this may be the opening/tutorial stage for the game. So... yeah. Probably not the most exciting gameplay possible, but the designs look cool and it doesn't look like it plays outright poorly. Reminds me of Remnant, only a little faster. Consider me intrigued.
Looks fine, but the guns look to lack heft and the sort of game where enemies soak up damage before they flop over dead. Nice graphics though!
Keeping an eye on this one, it looks interesting to me!
Sorry... But, we live in a time where screen recording is possible. Why on earth is someone trying to sell me a game when all I can focus on is the screen glare? I mean - even NES games had better presentation.
