SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake
This SpongeBob platformer from 2023 follows its titular iconic cartoon hero on a journey through alternate realities, called Wish Worlds, as he tries to save his home, Bikini Bottom. Each Wish World serves as a distinct biome, as players navigate colourful levels, employing their traversal and combat abilities. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake will be available on both PS4 and PS5.
AEW Fight Forever
Based on the Americal wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling, AEW Fight Forever is a professional wrestling title, similar to the popular WWE 2K franchise. Developed by Yuke’s, AEW Fight Forever favours an arcade-style wrestling gameplay and presentation over a more grounded depiction. The game features different modes and match styles, across single player and online multiplayer. Fight Forever also features a career mode, called “Road to Elite,” where players can create a custom character or opt to play as a wrestler from the AEW roster. AEW Fight Forever will be available on both PS4 and PS5.
