More Cool Shit Dropping Without Warning
But it wasn’t just Hi-Fi Rush that came out of nowhere with a surprise release. We also got a remastered Metroid Prime, meaty God of War DLC, and new Final Fantasy XVI content all out of the blue this year.
Metroid Prime Remastered dropping the same day it was officially revealed (February 8) basically destroyed Nintendo fans for the rest of the day as they counted down the hours until work ended and they could go home and finally play this long-awaited port.
It was also wild to see God Of War: Ragnarok announce new DLC just a few days before it officially dropped via Game Awards trailer. Even wilder was the fact that the DLC ended up being massive, really good, and was free. Seriously, Sony, you could have sold that thing. Regardless, surprises like this are fun because we get to skip the lengthy marketing cycles and jump right into the part we care about: the game.
