When will "Final Fantasy VII Remake" finally be available? That remains unknown — the game was first shown off way back in 2015, and we've heard next to nothing since then. 

But on Thursday afternoon, the latest trailer for the game was revealed alongside news that more would be revealed in June.

In the meantime, here's the new trailer:

3. "Riverbond," a "shoot and slash" game that looks like a pixelated dungeon crawler, is headed to PlayStation 4 "this summer." It appears to feature guest appearances from characters from other games including "Shovel Knight."

At some point in 2020, a new "Predator" game is expected to arrive — Sony showed it off for the first time on Thursday afternoon, and it's called "Predator: Hunting Grounds." 

Instead of following any of the "Predator" films, it appears to be a multiplayer-focused game of kill or be killed (by an invisible alien with superweapons). Here's the game description:

"Play as an elite Fireteam charged to complete paramilitary operations while a Predator mercilessly hunts you. Or, BE the Predator, armed with all the deadly alien weaponry you've grown to love and pursue your prey."

Great! Check out the trailer right here:
