They're games from Chinese developers, backed by Sony, all for release on PlayStation platforms. The new lineup features game ranging from RPG to RTS.

The most head-turning title? An RPG called Monkey King: Hero is Back. It draws from the famous Chinese fantasy novel Journey to the West. It's a huge part of Chinese mythology and a recent film was the country's biggest animated movie ever when it premiered in 2015.
