A gorgeous new PlayStation 4 game enables players to create their own games, and the first examples are incredible

When Sony originally announced the PlayStation 4 in 2013, a gorgeous new project was also announced: “Dreams.”

Now, it’s more than five years later and “Dreams” is still in development, but a recent beta offered the first extended look at what the game actually is.

“Dreams” is a game that can be used to make entirely new games, and the games it’s capable of producing are absolutely incredible.

When Sony originally announced the PlayStation 4 in 2013, a new game from the quirky British studio Media Molecule was announced at the same event.

More than five years later, that game is still in development.

“Dreams” is a bit of an enigma at this point, repeatedly teased and delayed across the entire lifespan of the PlayStation 4 console. It’s currently planned for launch at some point in 2019.

In a recent beta, the world finally got its first look at “Dreams” —

and what players created in that beta is a tantalizing look into what could be one of 2019’s most interesting games.

“Dreams” is three components:

1. A main campaign

2. A robust “creation” mode

3. A community-driven selection of player-created content.

It’s the latter two components of the three that people got to explore in a recent beta for “Dreams,” and the results are remarkable.
