Announcements from State of Play
Over 60 minutes of news and announcements dedicated to the PlayStation community
Sony Interactive Entertainment presented over 60 minutes of news and announcements dedicated to the PlayStation community at the latest State of Play. The event kicked off with an extended presentation of Marvel’s Wolverine and concluded with the official announcement of God of War: Laufey, the next main chapter in the legendary God of War franchise. Other titles presented included Control Resonant, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Silent Hill: Downfall, which confirmed their release later this year, alongside other surprises and updates on games planned for 2026 and 2027.
God of War: Laufey brings a completely new perspective to the series' universe, inviting both established fans and new players to discover an original story. This time, the action centres on Laufey, also known as Faye, the warrior and wife of Kratos. Although death should have been the end of her story, Faye embarks on a new journey through the gods' underworld, determined to save those she loves. In a realm dominated by magic and unknown threats, she will have to use all her abilities to survive. God of War: Laufey will be released exclusively on PlayStation 5.
Insomniac Games brought new footage from Marvel’s Wolverine into the spotlight. The presented material highlights Logan's brutal fighting style and introduces some of the important characters who will accompany him on his adventure. These include Jean Grey, one of the most powerful telekinetic characters in the Marvel universe, who joins forces with Wolverine against the Reavers.
The Marvel universe also occupied another important spot. Three iconic names appeared on the character roster for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls: Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage. Alongside Doctor Doom, they form the Knights of Doom, who will influence the events of the game's story mode.
Horror game fans also received a surprise with the announcement of Until Dawn 2, a completely new sequel developed by Firesprite Games for PlayStation 5. The new title tells a standalone story, with new characters, a whole new world to explore, and decisions that will shape the narrative. The action follows a group of ghost hunters who arrive on an abandoned tropical island to film the debut episode of a TV show, unaware of the dangers that await them.
Also during the presentation, the start of Marathon's second season was announced. The update is available starting today and offers players the opportunity to explore new content. In addition, from 2 to 9 June, Open Play Week is taking place, a period during which anyone can try the multiplayer experience without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription. Players will be able to explore the planet Tau Ceti IV and discover competitive gameplay that combines PvP and PvE elements in a tension-filled sci-fi universe.
Last but not least, Sony Interactive Entertainment presented new games that will be added to PlayStation Plus. Runescape: Dragonwilds will be available in the Game Catalogue on its launch day on PlayStation 5. At the same time, PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to play three classic titles in the coming months: Gitaroo Man, available this month, Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy in July, and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in August.
