Your friends here at PlayStation.com love indie games. With RESOGUN and Contrast keeping us busy since the launch of the PlayStation 4, we thought we'd look forward a little to 10 great indie games coming to PS4, PS Vita and PlayStation 3 this year.

1001 Spikes
HELLDIVERS
Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Secret Ponchos
The Witness
Pavilion
Transistor
Hyper Light Drifter
Hohokum
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

And as if that wasn't enough - here are two more independent titles that will be coming to PlayStation platforms a little further down the line...

Rime
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture

[suedester]

Is that suggesting Rime and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture are 2015 titles or am I reading too much into it?

Rime isn't indie (published by Sony.) I think Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is Sony published too, but not sure.

EDIT: Never mind. Proved wrong later on, & OP updated post.

 

[Foshy]

I'll get every single one of them on day one.

Sounds like it. Oh well, I can wait.

Under promise and over deliver.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Said Rime at the very end just no picture so idk. I hope it comes out this year!

 

[TheBioLover]

Rime isn't indie (published by Sony.) I think Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is Sony published too, but not sure.

They're listed there, but it says "further down the line" for Rime and EGttR.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Happy to see Sony giving Hyper Light Drifter some attention.

 

[SmokyDave]

Man, just one must buy after another. 2014 is shaping up to be a great year for the Vita and the PS4.

 

[Mondy]

Octodad, Transistor, Rime and Hyper Light Drifter will be mine.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Octodad, Transistor and Hyper Light Drifter will be mine.

Same here.

 

[GeoramA]

Is that suggesting Rime and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture are 2015 titles or am I reading too much into it?

They're listed at the very bottom.

I really hope we get Galak-Z this year.

 

[Fersis]

Man, just one must buy after another. 2014 is shaping up to be a great year for the Vita and the PS4.

I wouldnt be surprised if some of these end up on PSN+

PSN+ is so friggin' good.

 

[Majmun]

I need me some N++ as well.

When is that one coming out?

 

[Loudninja]

Those 2 look like bigger games to me,so I guess we will see.

 

[mmitt]

Octodad, Transistor, Rime and Hyper Light Drifter will be mine.

those and The Witness are the ones I'm most interested in too, they all look really good

 

[the_batman]

Hotline Miami 2, aww yeahh

 

[Toxa]

octodad will be my goty

 

[Nemesis_]

Personally, I'm most looking forward to Outlast and Daylight. Both look like solid horror experiences, though I'm looking forward to the former more so.

OUTLAST

DAYLIGHT

 

[RulkezX]

Can't wait for Helldivers. It's the same guys as Magika , right ?

OUTLAST



DAYLIGHT

What's happened to Daylight ? It was meant to be an early 2014 title.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Can't wait for Helldivers , it's the same guys as Magika , right ?

Yup. And it's hard as nails apparently.

 

[halfbeast]

is it crazy that I kinda want all of them?

Personally, I'm most looking forward to Outlast and Daylight. Both look like solid horror experiences, though I'm looking forward to the former more so.

Outlast is amazing! if they happen to announce a vr headset for the ps4, this game's gonna be killer!

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'll be grabbing Hotline Miami 2 for the vita.
The 1st was so much fun on the go.

Also I could have sworn I heard word about them trying to bring Skullgirls to PS4 or am I imagining things?

 

[enanogrande]

They're listed there, but it says "further down the line" for Rime and EGttR.

Thats... Dissappinting :/ I'm looking forward to Rime the most...

 

[GeoramA]

There are a lot not even listed.

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Rogue Legacy
Starbound
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!
Outlast
Daylight
Mercenary Kings
N++
Ray's the Dead
Velocity 2X
Volume

 

[Loudninja]

Too bad we didn't get some dates yet 2014 is too vague for me.

Well I guess they ready when they are ready.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Hotline Miami 2

*salivates*

 

[BigTnaples]

Not sure what counts as indi these days, but have we heard anything about

7 Days to Die
DayZ
Rust
or
No Mans Sky


Coming to PS4?

 

[GoofsterStud]

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

I hope they are still 2014.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It still is. They just released a trailer earlier this month

[Mondy]

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Rogue Legacy
Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!

These will probably be mine as well.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Technically Rime, EGttR and Helldivers are not indie, as Sony owns the IPs. I'm looking forward to pretty much all of these though; loves me some indie games. I'll play them on my Vita if possible.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Rime.... welp :/

 

[EL CUCO]

This just remided me that I had a dream I was playing Hotline Miami 2 and it was awesome.

 

[Majmun]

When it comes to consoles, the Ps4 is the Indie paradise.

I'm interested in almost all of the titles.

Sony did good in securing and investing in the indies. They're really hot right now.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Not sure what counts as indi these days, but have we heard anything about

7 Days to Die
DayZ
Rust
or
No Mans Sky


Coming to PS4?

Sony has apparently been gunning for DayZ since before they announced the PS4 (remember the early UI showing a guy named DayZ100?). Dean Hall has confirmed that he's going to do a console version, but PC comes first.

 

[robotrock]

Excited for OliOli

I think think just posted some of the bigger ones coming.

 

[Xater]

So many good indie games it's ridiculous. Will probably buy more of those than retail games.

 

[jayu26]

I think think just posted some of the bigger ones coming.

Bigger? Yes. The developer might have also signed some sort of PSN promotional deal.

 

[Acquiescence]

Lots of indies to look forward to this year. Exciting times ahead for my PS4. Order of interest...

Hohokum - jacknicholsonnodding.gif. Relaxing, trippy, colourful, don't-know-what-the-hell-is-going-on-but-don't-care. Want it.
The Witness - Appears to be a very ambitious puzzler. Like the idea of the environment being this large island you can roam about in as you please.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Looking hella forward to this, but now it's not coming out until March! Didn't think the wait would be so long.
Transistor - That E3 trailer sold me instantly.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number - Really enjoyed the first one on the PS3/Vita. Will get this providing it's not a total retread.
Pavilion - I don't really know much about this; all my knowledge is based on screenshots. But it does look very intriguing.
Hyper Light Drifter - This does look good, but I'm not as dazzled by it as a lot of folks.
HELLDIVERS - Top-down co-op shooter. Ehh.
Secret Ponchos - Saw this at Sony's E3. Not my bag.
1001 Spikes - Looks like some kind of hardcore, rougelike platformer from what I can tell. Not interested.

 

[wapplew]

I looking forward to Secret Ponchos. This should be a PS+ title if I'm not mistaken.
Top down western arena fighter sound super cool, very unique character design too.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty and Witness also must buy for me.
In fact all the titles in the list are very interesting, best of all we get variety back.

 

[Neifirst]

Are any of these indies supposed to be coming before Infamous in March?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Did they not post Binding of Isaac because it isn't PS3? We know that development on it's likely to take a long while, but hopefully not a "2015" long while :\

 

[Carl]

Pfft, how could they forget Velocity 2X? ;_;

 

[AtomskEater]

Excellent, quite a few titles I'm interested in.
Now come on and release that 64GB overseas, Sony.

 

[le.phat]

pavillion and secret ponchos, sweet snags sony!

pavilion!

Secret ponchos!

[Kenshin001]

Really nice bunch of indies they have lined up. Crazy how Sony has changed since a few years ago when PSN was pretty barren when it came to quality indies. The Witness, HLD and Hotline Miami 2 are at the top of my list.

 

[Mondy]

^^The art style for Pavilion is certainly interesting.

 

[CorrisD]

Can't wait for Helldivers

Same here, we haven't heard much about a Dead Nation sequel yet so I'm pretty happy we're getting a co-op top down shooter from someone else and soonish.

That looks really neat, loving the look of these indie and smaller developed games coming in the future.
