Everything else will be a surprise, it seems. That\u2019s actually kind of nice. Of course, it\u2019d be a lot nicer if we could just finally play the damn game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div data-nosnippet=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Judas - Story Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" class=\"js-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T5_r-un--bA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-judas\">Judas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Platforms:<\/strong> PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, Windows PC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the creator of&nbsp;<em>BioShock<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Judas&nbsp;<\/em>is a single player narrative FPS set on a disintegrating starship.
