One Sony employee's mistake is everyone's gain. Reportedly, a German Sony site devoted to what PlayStation is doing at the Gamescom convention next month accidentally updated with a list of playable games for Sony's PlayStation 4 console and PlayStation Vita portable.
Of particular note is the addition of Journey and The Unfinished Swan to the PlayStation 4 library. Both were downloadable titles for PlayStation 3 that were published by Sony. Considering Sony has already updated other PS3 downloads like Flower and Sound Shapes, these two are not surprising.
A bigger surprise is the inclusion of Until Dawn, a horror game for PlayStation 3 that uses the PlayStation Move motion controllers that was announced in 2012, but never shown further or ever released. This would indicated that the game has been put back on track for the latest Sony console.
Most of the other games on the list were shown or were playable at the E3 video game convention back in June 2014. Some, such as Surgeon Simulator, will be playable for the first time at Gamescom.
The German site about PlayStation at Gamescom was updated and the leaked list was removed. But, like everything else of interest that appears on the internet, it propagated to other sites first.
The list, obtained from the NeoGAF forum, is below.

The Unfinished Swan is a critically-acclaimed 2012 title, from indie developer Giant Sparrow, that tells a storybook tale with innovative first-person gameplay involving painting walls with ink. The unreleased Until Dawn was about a group of friends trying to escape a serial killer.
