PlayStation State of Play June 2026: Every Important Announcement You Might Have Missed

God of war laufey 1 — 1. God of War Laufey Steals the Show

The State of Play saved its biggest swing for last with *God of War Laufey*, a new mainline entry from Santa Monica Studio focused on Faye. Instead of leaving Kratos’ wife as a legendary memory, the game wakes her after death in the Everywhen, an afterlife of the gods where mythologies collide and magic has gone badly off-script. It is a bold way to expand *God of War* without just putting Kratos through another grief marathon, and Faye’s faster, more fluid combat already gives the reveal its own identity. | © Santa Monica Studio

2. Until Dawn 2 Brings the Butterfly Effect Back

*Until Dawn 2* was the horror sequel reveal hiding in plain sight until Sony finally made it official. Firesprite Games is developing the standalone PS5 follow-up, this time centered on a group of ghost hunters whose staged paranormal content becomes painfully real on an abandoned tropical island. Peter Stormare’s Dr. Hill is also returning, which should immediately set off warning lights for anyone who remembers how much that man can do by simply staring at a camera. The 2027 window gives Firesprite room to make the bad choices properly hurt. | © Firesprite Games

Marvels Wolverine — 3. Marvel’s Wolverine Shows Its Claws

Insomniac’s new *Marvel’s Wolverine* gameplay did exactly what it needed to do: remind everyone that this is not a polite superhero adventure in a nicer jacket. Logan was shown stalking and shredding Reavers, teaming up with Jean Grey, using rage-based abilities and tearing through a highway sequence with the kind of brutality fans expected the moment this project was announced. The September 15 PS5 date gives the trailer extra weight, because this no longer feels like distant PlayStation mythology. It is close, bloody and very much built around Logan’s worst moods. | © Insomniac Games

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis — 4. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Rebuilds Lara’s Origins

*Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis* was one of the heavier hitters of the showcase, especially because it is not just another vague Lara Croft teaser. Crystal Dynamics and co-developer Flying Wild Hog are reimagining the original *Tomb Raider* in Unreal Engine 5, with expanded locations, modernized exploration, rebuilt puzzles and a February 12 PS5 release date. The Peru Lost Valley footage did a lot of the selling on its own: dinosaurs, ruins, secrets and classic adventure energy, now rebuilt for players who expect more than tank controls and nostalgia. | © Crystal Dynamics / Flying Wild Hog

5. Rayman Legends Retold Gives the Platformer a 3D Reimagining

Ubisoft is bringing back *Rayman Legends* with *Rayman Legends Retold*, a 3D reimagining headed to PS5 on October 1. The announcement promised new content, narrative twists, voiced characters, a mysterious new realm, four new musical stages and couch co-op for up to four players. It is not being framed as a tiny remaster with a shinier coat of paint, either; this looks more like Ubisoft trying to reshape one of its most beloved platformers without losing the chaos, rhythm and slapstick precision that made it work. | © Ubisoft

Ace Combat 8 Wings of Theve — 6. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Locks Onto October

Bandai Namco brought *Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve* in for a clean landing with an October 2 PS5 release date. The new trailer highlighted the Strangereal setting, Joker Squadron, over 30 aircraft and the kind of gigantic military hardware that only this series can present with a straight face. A 450-meter land battleship tearing through the capital of Theve sounds ridiculous on paper, which is exactly why it belongs in *Ace Combat*. Sometimes a fighter jet story simply needs a boss battle the size of a neighborhood. | © Bandai Namco Entertainment

7. Control Resonant Puts Dylan Faden in the Driver’s Seat

Remedy’s *Control Resonant* now has a September 24 PS5 release date, and the new story trailer made one thing very clear: this is Dylan Faden’s nightmare to carry. Manhattan has been warped by paranatural forces, Jesse is still important but not the playable lead, and Dylan is trying to move through a reality that seems allergic to staying normal. The Aberrant, his shapeshifting weapon, also gives the sequel a proper “yes, this is still Remedy” hook without simply replaying the Oldest House. | © Remedy Entertainment

Silent Hill Townfall — 8. Silent Hill: Townfall Finally Steps Out of the Fog

*Silent Hill: Townfall* has been one of those horror projects that fans kept side-eyeing from the shadows, waiting for it to become more than a creepy promise. The State of Play finally gave it a September 24 release date, plus a new look at Simon, the mysterious island of St. Amelia, Zoe’s voice through the CRTV and a creature lurking in the Otherworld. Screen Burn Interactive also leaned into narrative-driven puzzles, which sounds exactly right for a *Silent Hill* that wants dread to live in the details. | © Screen Burn Interactive

Onimusha Way of the Sword — 9. Onimusha: Way of the Sword Gets a Date and a Demo

Capcom did not just bring another trailer for *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*; it came with a September 25 release date and a playable PS5 demo available immediately. That demo covers roughly 30 minutes of the early game, including parries, deflects, Issen attacks, soul absorption and Musashi’s Oni-powered combat. For a series that has spent years living in the “please come back” section of fan wishlists, seeing a new entry this tangible made the announcement feel heavier than a standard release-date beat. | © Capcom

10. Kemuri Looks Like One of the Show’s Coolest New IPs

Ikumi Nakamura’s UNSEEN showed more of *Kemuri*, and the game instantly carved out its own messy, supernatural corner of the showcase. Set in Kemuri City, where life, death and yokai weirdness all overlap, the action game lets players become yokai hunters, explore a vertical urban world and form contracts with spirits that change how they fight. It also supports online co-op for up to three players, which gives the whole thing a stylish ghost-hunting squad energy without sanding off its oddball identity. | © UNSEEN Inc.

Dune Awakening — 11. Dune: Awakening Brings Arrakis to PS5

*Dune: Awakening* finally locked in its PS5 arrival, and the console version sounds more substantial than a simple port. Funcom’s open-world survival take on Arrakis lands on September 22 with a new single-player mode, a fresh cinematic story chapter and a batch of additions meant to make this feel like the definitive version. Sandworms, politics, spice and survival mechanics all sharing the same desert is already a dangerous recipe; now PS5 players have a date to fear it properly. | © Funcom

Rune Scape Dragonwilds — 12. PlayStation Plus Gets a Surprisingly Busy Update

Sony also used the State of Play to sneak in some PlayStation Plus news, and it was more useful than a throwaway subscription montage. *RuneScape: Dragonwilds* is coming to PS5 as a day-one Game Catalog release, while Premium members are getting *Gitaroo Man*, *Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy* and *Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams* across the next few months. Not the flashiest announcement, sure, but a solid little nostalgia-and-value combo for subscribers. | © Jagex
