July will bring the third-person shooter Psi-Ops: Psychic Operation (also referred to as Psi-Ops: The Mind Gate Conspiracy) and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, according to different sources. August will see the addition of New Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, the fourth entry in the Onimusha series starring Hideyasu Yuki.
