God of War: Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine stole the entire show at the recent PS5 event

The Sony Playstation showcase event just took place and it seems that PS5 is getting a lot of cool games starting with the God of War: Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2 and a brand new Wolverine game. Sony also announced a PC port for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: Lost legacy. During the showcase, Sony also revealed a new Gran Turismo game, an indie title called Tchia and a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake.

God of War: Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine Coming To PS5

The sequel to 2018’s God of War reboot titled God of War: Ragnarok is coming to PS4 and PS5 in October 2022. The series follows the journey of the former Greek God of War Kratos and his son Atreus through the mystical Norse lands. The new game shows a mature Atreus and armoured up Kratos fighting a bunch of mythological monsters. If the past is anything to go by, we should be ready for an adventure of truly epic proportions. 

Spider-Man 2, a sequel to the Spider-man PS4 was the second biggest announcement from Sony. The game includes both protagonists from the recent Spider-man games including Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The new Spider-Man sequel will feature Kraven The Hunter as the main protagonist and also includes Venom as an additional boss character. Spider-Man 2 is launching on PS5 in 2023. 

Another surprising announcement from Sony was the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake which will essentially tell the same story but with updated mechanics and graphics. On the same list, we can also include Marvel’s Wolverine, which is a brand new IP in development at Sony’s Insomniac studio, the same developer responsible for the PlayStation’s Spider-Man series.

Other PS5 exclusive titles announced during the Sony event include Gran Turismo 7, Tchia, and Forspoken. Additional 3rd party AAA titles also made their way to the PlayStation showcase as timed exclusives. Project Eve, a cross between DMC, Bayonetta and Nier Automata, caught gamer’s attention during the event. A vampire-based Free-to-Play Battle Royale game set in The Masquerade universe timeline is also coming on PS5 later this year. Lastly, the popular Xbox 360 title, Alan Wake is getting a remaster for all the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.

Oppo reportedly dictating OnePlus to launch Nord phones under 20,000 in India

OnePlus could launch more phones in its Nord range priced under Rs 20,000 in India. OnePlus has been populating its Nord lineup after it debuted the OnePlus Nord last year in India. This year, the company introduced the Nord CE followed by the Nord 2. Meanwhile, it also announced the merger of OxygenOS with Oppo’s ColorOS to streamline the software experience and optimize updates.

According to a tweet by freelance journalist Yogesh Brar, OnePlus is looking to launch phones under Rs 20,000 in India under the Nord series. There is no word on the specifics but Yogesh claims that we could see this happen as early as next quarter or in 2022. 

Oppo has always been linked to OnePlus one way or the other. But now they are dictating the terms. OnePlus is going through a shift, and sub 20k phones for India are on the cards. No defined timeline for now, could see them as early as next quarter or Q2'22

The most affordable OnePlus phone currently is the Nord CE 5G which starts at Rs 22,999 in India. However, OnePlus has also introduced a more affordable Nord N series which did not launch in India as it is for the US and Canada.

The latest phone in the Nord N lineup is the Nord N200 which packs in the Snapdragon 480 chipset, triple cameras on the back and a large battery with fast charging support.

If this tip by Yogesh turns out to be true, we might see the Nord N series make its way to India. Having said that, it’s also entirely possible that OnePlus could be working on new phones altogether if it plans to launch them under Rs 20,000.

We will keep an eye out for developments in this area but the only phone we’re hearing rumours about is the OnePlus 9RT which could launch later this year.
