PS5 State of Play June 2026 live updates — every game reveal and new trailer at latest PlayStation showcase

A screenshot for Marvel's Wolverine with a PS5 State of Play graphics overlay.

PlayStation State of Play for June 2025 is now over, and it was certainly a packed showcase with loads of new games announced, a bunch of release dates for highly anticipated titles, and plenty of exciting trailers to watch.

The biggest news was the confirmation of the new God of War: Laufey, a new title in the popular series that swaps Kratos for his wife Faye, as she battles through the afterlife of the gods. Other big reveals included Until Dawn 2, The Lost Wild, Stuntman: Hollywood and plenty more new titles.

Below you can find every single announcement from State of Play June 2026, along with all the trailers. So if you missed the showcase, our live coverage will guide you through all the biggest news and announcements.

LIVE UPDATES

Welcome!

Good morning! Welcome to Tom's Guide's live coverage of the PS5 State of Play for June 2026. I'm Rory, a senior entertainment editor, and one of biggest gamers on staff. I'll be bring you all the last-minute rumors, and also guiding you through the State of Play itself when it begins later today. So, let's get into the good stuff...

The one game we can bank on being at State of Play

(Image credit: Sony)

There's a lot we don't know about today's State of Play, but Sony has confirmed one game that will present: Marvel's Wolverine. Set to release on September 15, this superhero action game comes from Insomniac Games, the developer of the PS5 Marvel's Spider-Man games, and it looks brutal in the best way possible.

We've been waiting a long time to get our hands (claws?) on Wolverine. It was announced during the PlayStation Showcase in September 2021, and almost five years later, we're finally entering the home straight with launch just a few months away. I'm expecting to see more gameplay today, and maybe new story details.

My other prediction when it comes to Marvel's Wolverine is that PlayStation might confirm a limited-edition Wolverine-themed DualSense and maybe even console.

PS5 State of Play June 2026: Everything you need to know

So, the key details for State of Play are as follows. The live-streamed presentation takes place today (Tuesday, June 2), and it will run for "more than 60 minutes." Sony is promising "updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world" with at least some presence from its own PlayStation Studios.

The timings for State of Play June 2026 are as follows:

  • 2 p.m. PT
  • 5 p.m. ET
  • 10 p.m. BST
  • 11 p.m. CEST
  • 6 a.m. JST (June 3)
  • 7 a.m. AEDT (June 3)

You'll be able to watch along live via PlayStation's channels on YouTube and Twitch, but fear not if you can't get to a stream, that's what I'm here for. In this live blog, I'll bring you all the pre-show build-up, and full live coverage of every announcement.

You can watch State of Play on the big screen!

How about this for the ultimate way to enjoy the State of Play? Sony has partnered with Alamo Drafthouse (a cinema chain the Japanese tech giant recently bought) to host State of Play fan events, showing the event on the big screen!

Tickets are free, and the State of Play will be shown in Drafthouse's across the U.S., including in Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Boston and Chicago. I can't think of a better way to enjoy the occasion than watching all the announcements in a movie theater with an audience that will no doubt only add to the atmosphere.

I'll be watching at my desk (after all, I need to bring TG readers the latest updates!), but if you're fortunate enough to live near one of the locations hosting the event, check out the link above. Just be aware that tickets might have sold out.

Would you like fries with that?

Alongside screening the State of Play at select Alamo Drafthouse locations, it looks like there will be Wolverine themed-food on offer as well (source @ZhugeEX). This includes "Savage Sticks," "Rage Pizza" and a "Mutant Instinct" cocktail. Just looking at the menu is making me hungry. I wonder if you can order these themed items on DoorDash?

Here's when I think we'll see Wolverine during State of Play

(Image credit: Insomniac Games / Sony Interactive Entertainment)

We'll be diving into the world of rumors, leaks and speculation soon enough, but for now, let's keep the focus on what we do know. So, it's been confirmed that Marvel's Wolverine will feature, but the big question, is when will it be showcased?

My prediction is that Wolverine will open the show. For starters, PlayStation will want to lead off with a big game, which Wolverine most certainly is. Secondly, because Logan's involvement has been pre-confirmed, it makes sense to open the show, leaving the final reveal to be something unexpectedly and hype generating.

Furthermore, the opening slot is definitely a prime position, and it would make sense for PlayStation to reverse it for one of its own titles rather than a third-party.

The next God of War could be revealed today

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

There's one rumor that just won't go away ahead of the State of Play. Various sources, including Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, have claimed the next game in the God of War series will be announced during State of Play June 2026.

It's already been a big year for the GoW series. In the February State of Play, a remake of the original trilogy was revealed, and the side-scrolling spin-off title God of War: Sons of Sparta was announced and released the same day. But if the rumors are correct, PlayStation is already ready to show what's next for the series.

The unconfirmed suggestion is that the next God of War will be a prequel game focused on Faye, Kratos' second wife, whose death kicked off the events of God of War (2018). It's also rumored this title will be directed by Cory Barlog, who was the sole director on the reboot and a co-director on sequel God of War Ragnarök.

As with all rumors, I advise taking this one with a grain of salt, but there's certainly a lot of online noise about this. We'll find out if it's true in just a matter of hours.

Fairgames could be re-revealed as Break In

(Image credit: Haven Studios / Sony Interactive Entertainment)

The upcoming live-service shooter Fairgames from new team Haven Studios was announced back in 2023, but we've not seen it since. Therefore, it stands to reason that it could resurface at today's State of Play, but perhaps with a new name.

Last month, it was reported that Sony had filed a trademark for a new game called "Break In," but the internet rumor mill, tipped off by a not-so-subtle clue from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier (per IGN), suggests this might not be a new game at all, but rather a rebranding of Fairgames.

Rightly or wrongly, the online reception to Fairgames was pretty mixed, with many fans suggesting it'll be the next Concord (a PlayStation live service game that was shut down within just a few weeks). So, giving it a new title and a fresh slate, and hoping to make a better impression this time around, could be a smart play.

I need to see more from Intergalactic!

(Image credit: Sony / Naughty Dog)

If there's one already-announced game I'm desperate to see at the State of Play, it's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Naughty Dog are a top 3 developer in my book, so anything with the ND logo has my instant attention, and Intergalactic looks epic.

We've not seen this one since it was revealed at The Game Awards in December 2024, and while a 2026 release date seems very unlikely, a fresh look during today's State of Play isn't out of the question. The game is a sci-fi title that stars a futuristic bounty hunter who becomes stuck on a planet cut off from contact for 600 years.

If I were a betting man, I think a second trailer at this year's Game Awards might be a more likely slot for Intergalactic to resurface but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The State of Play hype is building already

(Image credit: Google)

There's no doubt that there's a lot of excitement in the air about today's State of Play. In fact, some 5,000 fans are already in the waiting room as we speak. The showcase might not go live for around seven hours, but that isn't stopping some viewers from booting up the stream and essentially staring at an empty screen!

Could Rayman return at State of Play?

(Image credit: Ubisoft)

Well, looks like the cat is out of the bag when it comes to Rayman. Unless somebody is playing a very cruel joke, it appears that Rayman Legends is getting a remake in the form of Rayman Legends: Retold. Could this be one of the State of Play announcements that has leaked a little early? It certainly seems possible.

Per Insider Gaming, Rayman Legends: Retold is a re-release of the original game launched in 2013. It reportedly swaps the original's 2D art style for a 2D.5 approach, and even better, it might come bundled with a copy of its predecessor, Rayman Origins (hot takes: Legends is very good, but I actually preferred Origins overall).

Rayman Legends has such a timeless look that I'm not convinced we need a remake, and thanks to a PS4 port, the game is already playable on PS5, but still, Rayman fans likely won't be complaining about the often-neglect heroes return.

I got hands-on with two upcoming PS5 accessories

(Image credit: Future / Tom's Guide)

If you're looking to fill some of the time until State of Play, read my hands-on report with the upcoming FlexStrike fight stick and the Pulse Elevate desktop speakers.

I recently took a trip to the PlayStation U.K. office to check out these new PS5 accessories, due for launch in 2026, and I came away seriously impressed with both. The FlexStrike in particular has become an accessory I'm eager to add to my gaming setup, especially as it launches on August 8 alongside Marvel Tokon.

We might even see more of these new products in today's State of Play!

I'm taking a big huff of hopium, let's talk Bloodborne

(Image credit: FromSoftware / Sony)

If you'll let me indulge in a little wishing here, like many PlayStation fans, my dream announcement today would be something Bloodborne-related. Sequel, remaster, remake, just a 60 fps patch for the game on PS4, I'd take just about anything.

The 2015 action-RPG from developer From Software is quite simply a masterpiece, and much as I've loved replaying it on PS4 regularly over the years, I'd love either a proper follow-up or a remastered version that bumps the framerate and makes its haunting world look even prettier.

I certainly wouldn't bank on Bloodborne being present at today's State of Play, but if the name did pop up in pretty much any form, I'd be squealing with delight.

Don't forget about the Future Games Show this week!

(Image credit: Future)

It's set to be a huge week for gaming news. There's today's PS5 State of Play, Friday brings Summer Game Fest 2026, and Sunday sees Microsoft take the stage with the Xbox Showcase. But don't forget about the Future Games Show on Saturday.

Hosted by Troy Baker and Alex Wilton, it takes place on Saturday, June 6 at 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. BST and will feature trailers and reveals for more than 50 games, from AAA to indie, including Halloween: The Game, WARDOGS and more.

It's going to be a great showcase, and all that wasn't enough, it'll be followed by FGS Live from Los Angeles, with more trailers, premieres and developer interviews.

A spooky prediction I'm feeling confident about

(Image credit: Konami / Annapurna Interactive)

I'm fairly confident we'll be seeing more from Silent Hill: Townfall in today's State of Play. We might even get a release date considering it's been slated for 2026.

My reasoning is twofold. Firstly, earlier today, an ESRB rating for the game was discovered via MP1st (no surprises here, it's rated M). This would suggest it's gearing up for launch if the game's already been submitted for an age rating.

Secondly, the last State of Play offered a first: PlayStation gave the stage to Konami to host its own mini-showcase within a SOP. A portion of the event was dedicated to new reveals from the publisher, including a first trailer for Silent Hill: Townfall.

If Townfall is going to hit its confirmed 2026 window, then it stands to reason we'll see more from it soon, and with PlayStation already showing its strong partnership with Konami, I reckon we'll see more from Silent Hill: Townfall later today.

Just 5 hours to go!

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

It's not quite time to get seated and gets your snacks to hand, but we're only five hours away from the State of Play for June 2026 kicking off. Don't worry, we're not going anywhere, I'll be stepping back for a quick break before the show, but I'm tagging in some colleagues to keep you entertained as we get closer to the State of Play going live. For those curious how the waiting room is looking, it's dropped down to 2,300 viewers, but those numbers will explode as go-time approaches.

A little football

EA Sports just revealed the cover images for the third iteration of its revived College Football series.

CFB 27 will launch later this summer, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a glimpse of the new game during State of Play. Chat will be chuffed I'm sure.

Team Asobi teases Sly Cooper

Team Asobi, the developers behind the excellent AstroBot, teased Sly Cooper in a little video earlier today.

It's no real guarantee but it is an interesting video to post on the day of a State of Play. Comments under the GIF are cautiously excited about a potential Sly 5.

What do you think, will we see the return of the raccoon thief today?

What are you excited to maybe see?

(Image credit: Disney)

I have my own predictions but what do you think Sony will show off today? Or what do you want to see?

Let us know in the comments or shoot me an email at scott.younker@futurenet.com

A fresh look at Horizon Hunters Gathering

(Image credit: Sony)

Sony announced Horizon Hunters Gathering back in February as a cooperative team game that sees players taking on different robo-dinos.

It seems cartoon-y, which isn't bad but maybe not what I personally want from the Horizon series. That said, if we're leaning into the silliness, I would love a sequel Lego Horizon game.

Anyway, it's very likely we'll get a fresh look at Hunters Gathering.

Lara Croft pops up

Hmm, Gematsu noticed that new Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis screenshots just popped up on the PlayStation Store.

This could mean that Lara Croft gets some shine today.

We don't have a release date for the next Tomb Raider game, so this could be a good opportunity for Sony to reveal one.

Some commenters pointed out that Summer Games Fest kicks off on June 5 this Friday. It's possible that we won't hear anything until then.

A wishlist of sequels

(Image credit: Square Enix)

I've been looking around Reddit, X and some forums and I keep seeing a wishlist of sequels.

Here are the most common ones:

  • Bloodborne 2
  • Devil May Cry 6
  • Final Fantasy 7 number 3
  • God of War: Faye
  • Infamous 4
  • Kingdom Hearts 4
  • Nier 2
  • Uncharted 5
  • Twisted Metal something
  • Spider-Man 3

Some are more realistic than others. Spider-Man 3 and Infamous for example are probably not showing up as Sucker Punch shows off Wolverine.

We have heard some inklings of a new Uncharted, but Naughty Dog has seemingly been a single game at a time studio for a couple decades now.

And Bloodborne 2 is just a dream to upset Bloodborne fans.

90 minutes to showtime

(Image credit: Sony)

As a reminder the show kicks off at at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET / 10 p.m. BST.

That's 90 minutes from now.

Mario Kart is about to have some (extra) competition

(Image credit: Playtonic Games)

Hey all! It's Rory here, back from break to guide you through the final hour of build-up and, of course, give you all the live updates from the State of Play June 2026.

It looks like another soon-to-be-announced game has leaked, and this time, thanks to SteamDB. The game in question is Super Yooka-Laylee Kart, presumably a kart racing spin-off from the 3D platforming series Yooka-Laylee. I guess the lizard-bat combo has already taken on Mario in the 3D collectathon arena, and now they're ready to take on Nintendo's mascot in the kart racing genre.

A kart racer seems a pretty natural next step for Yooka-Laylee, especially after the duo stepped into the 2D side-scrolling world for 2019's Impossible Lair. They've done platforming in 3D and 2D, so what's left to take to the race track?

However, there is some online speculation rumbling that this game might be announced at Friday's Summer Game Fest event rather than at the State of Play. We'll find out in just over an hour, but Yooka-Laylee fans, how are you feeling?

What PS5 game are you hoping to see at State of Play?

I've given you a few of my wishes, and some heavily rumored games, but I want to hear from you. Vote in the poll above, and let me know what PS5 game you want to see at State of Play. And if you top pick isn't in the poll, let me in the comments!

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis may have been delayed

(Image credit: Crystal Dynamics / Flying Wild Hog)

Earlier today new screenshots for the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (a remake of the first Tomb Raider game released in 1996) surfaced on the PlayStation Store, hinting we might get a new trailer at the State of Play. But Amazon just went a step further and appears to have leaked the release date and pre-order details (via @RaiderSociety)

The bad news is, if this listing is accurate (Amazon has since removed it), the game has been delayed out of its previously 2026 window until February 10, 2027. But the listing appears to have confirmed a Deluxe Edition which includes a "post-launch DLC story pack" and a 48-hour early access period for players who pre-order. There's also a bonus outfit based on Lara's gear from the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot.

We'll find out soon if this listing was legit, but considering Amazon Game Studios is the publisher of both Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and the upcoming Tomb Raider: Catalyst (the next mainline entry in the series), the smart money says it is.

Will we see any Xbox logos during today's State of Play?

(Image credit: Microsoft)

One of the stranger topics of conversation this week has been the intense debate on comments from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma regarding previous Xbox Showcases opting to include the PS5 logo in trailers for games releasing on PS5.

Some Xbox fans believe this was a mistake, and Sharma appears to agree, posting on social media that she was "Seeing the feedback on logos. It was a miss, and I own it." (as reported by VGC). Personally, I think more transparency is a good thing. If a game is releasing on multiple platforms, why try to hide that fact?

That leads to today, and some humorous speculation on whether PlayStation will include the Xbox logo in its own State of Play. The history books suggest that's unlikely; PlayStation has historically excluded the Xbox logo when spotlighting multi-platform games. But for me, I'd rather all companies were just upfront.

If a game is landing on Xbox and PlayStation, let gamers know, don't hide it!

The countdown has started, the stream is LIVE

This is when you know we're almost there! The PlayStation State of Play livestream has gone LIVE. Okay, so it's just a 30-minute countdown clock, but it at least gives us all some nice ambient music, and it means we're in the final home straight!

State of Play is already attracting plenty of attention

(Image credit: Google)

We're just under 20 minutes from the State of Play June 2026 beginning and already thousands of gamers are flooding to watch the countdown. Even in the time it took me to take the above screenshot and write this post, the viewing figures have jumped up to more than 82,000. Hopefully PlayStation has a suitably big show planned for all the thousands of people watching around the world.

10 minute warning, now is the time to get ready!

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

There's just 10 minutes until PS5 State of Play for June 2026 begins. If you haven't already now is the time to get ready. Boot up a live stream (there's one embedded above), get your snacks/drinks prepared, and maybe take a quick bathroom break!

Time for one final prediction!

(Image credit: Media Molecule / Sony)

With just five minutes to go, I've got time for a final prediction. I think we might finally see what's next from British developer Media Molecule. The Guildford-based studio behind the popular LittleBigPlanet series hasn't released a game since 2020's Dreams, and this creation tool experience was dropped back in 2023. It's been long enough now that I have a inkling we might see what's next from MM.

The waiting is over! State of Play June 2025 begins now!

After all the build-up, predictions, leaks and rumors, now is the time for PlayStation to do the talking as State of Play 2026 begins right now...

Wolverine opens the State of Play!

(Image credit: Insomniac Games / Sony Interactive Entertainment)

I predicted this one, and it's Marvel's Wolverine that kicks off the State of Play, with new gameplay, and some fresh details about this upcoming superhero title!

Wolverine will include other mutants

The first look at proper gameplay from Wolverine confirms that Logan won't be alone with other mutants to encounter during the campaign, it looks like Jean Grey will be one of them. It's also as violent and bloody as any Wolverine fan could want!

Wolverine gets State of Play off to a strong start!

That's a pretty action-packed way to kick off a State of Play. Wolverine looks great, but I do have some worries that most of what we saw was cutscenes, I'm hoping that actually playing this new Marvel game will be as fun as watching footage.

Marvel Tokon is the next game showcased

We're in for a Marvel section, as after Wolverine, we move on to Marvel Tokon: Fight Souls, the new fighting game from Arc System Works. I recently got to play a few rounds of this superhero brawler during a trip to PlayStation's U.K. office, and it was very good fun. It's rocketed up my must-play list. It's launching on August 6, 2026.

Marvel time is over, time for Rayman!

Whelp, the leaks were spot on, next up is the reveal of Rayman Legends Retold. A remake of the excellent Rayman Legends title, this reworked spin on the platforming classic sports a 2.5D look and some new 3D sections.

It's dropping on October 1 on PS5.

Bancho the Chef is the next game revealed

I'm not really sure what to make of this one, but it's a new game called Bancho the Chef, and it looks like it mixes cartoonish graphics with a narrative driven approach.

Next up, a new trailer for Kemuri

This game looks wild; it's called Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen, and it's dropping in 2027. You play a hunter in a city trying to track down paranormal forces. Naturally, combat is a big focus of the title, and the art style has definitely caught my eye.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis gets the spotlight

Next up, it's a new trailer for the Tomb Raider remake, subtitled Legacy of Atlantis. It looks cinematic, as any good Tomb Raider game should, but sadly, unless the Amazon listing page leak was incorrect, we know a delay into 2027 is coming.

There is, the game releases on February 12, 2027!

Trailer for The Lost World (No, it's not Jurassic Park)

I thought this was our latest look at the previously announced Jurassic Park: Survival, but I was wrong. It's actually another dino-themed game called The Lost World. No prizes for guessing what movie franchise inspired this title.

Some quick fire trailers now!

We're getting a quick fire dose of trailers now, first up is another quick glimpse at Phantom Blade 0 (which launches in September), and in just a few seconds, we're heading over to check out Dune: Awakening.

Dune Awakening comes to PS5 on September 22

Dune Awakening is console-bound and coming on September 22. New for the console edition is a single-player option, letting you explore the spice-rich deserts solo, if you'd rather not be pestered by online players doing silly emotes.

Trailers for Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered and No Rest for the Wicked

I told you the trailers were coming fast now. We got a look at Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition, followed by the news that No Rest For the Wicked is coming to PS5 with a major 1.0 update in October 2026.

Can Onimusha: Way of the Sword keep up Capcom's hot streak?

Capcom is on an insane run right now, and I'm hoping that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will keep that hot streak going. It certainly looks promising and is due to land on PS5 on September 25, 2026. Even better, a demo for the game is dropping on PS5 today. That's my post State of Play plans sorted, I guess!

I'd know that music anywhere!

Silent Hill: Townfall up next, I could tell just from the eerie musical chimes alone! This new entry in the survival-horror series takes the franchise to Scotland, and is played in first-person. I wasn't a huge fan of Silent Hill f (hot take, I know), but I'm hoping that Townfall will hook me in the way that Silent Hill 2 remake managed.

Silent Hill: Townfall is releasing on September 24, 2025 (just 1 day before Onimusha, September is going to be so packed with new games)

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve lands in October

It feels like every game is dropping in September/October, no doubt they're all trying to get out of the way of GTA 6. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is the latest title to confirm it's releasing into what is looking like a crowed couple of months.

It's a Knight Rider game? Or is it Back to the Future?

What sort of mashup is this! Saber just announced a new title called Hollywood Stuntman, where, as the game suggests, you play as a stunt driver on movie sets. There appear to be licensed flicks involved with Knight Rider and Back to the Future teased in the trailer. I'm kind of completely sold on this concept!

This horror game makes Wolverine look PG

Ill gets a new trailer, and it's bloody and violent, it makes the Wolverine gameplay from earlier look tame. Don't watch the above trailer if you can't stomach lots of guts and intestines.

Control: Resonant gets a story trailer (and release date)

One of my most anticipated games of 2026, Control Resonant is out September 24, 2026. And I can't wait. I didn't even want to watch the trailer as I'm sold already!

Marathon Season 2 takes the spotlight

Well, if you need a quick bathroom break, I guess this Marathon Season 2 trailer isn't a bad time for one. Seeing as the chat has been spamming "We Want Destiny 3" all day long, there are quite a few unhappy comments about it. Marathon Season 2 launches today with a free trial weekend, and the base game gets a discount.

Runescape is arriving on PS5

My nostalgia levels are rising as for the first time a Runescape game is coming to PS5. Okay, it's not the base game but a spin-off, but still, Runescape on PS5! It's also be added to the PlayStation+ catalog on day one.

Sony's also confirming a new PlayStation Classics being added to PS+ including PSI-Ops, which has hit with another dose of childhood memories.

Could this be the Until Dawn Sequel?

(Image credit: Sony / SuperMassive Games)

Rumors of an Until Dawn sequel have been ever-present for years, and this trailer that shows young adults having fun in paradise over sinister music is screaming Until Dawn to me!

Yup, Until Dawn 2 is confirmed

And there you have it, in 2027 we are getting a follow-up to fan-favorite PS4 game Until Dawn 2. It's about a group of "fake" ghost hunters, who travel to a tropical island and find themselves trapped in a real nightmare.

The final reveal will be 20 minutes long!

Wow, our last reveal of the night will be a "big" one, and it'll be 20 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay rather than merely a quick trailer or logo. Could it be the rumored God of War prequel starring Faye?

The Santa Monica Studio logo has appeared, I think it just might be...

That's God of War alright!

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

Yup, it looks like all the rumors were correct, our last reveal is a new God of War game, and it will be starring Faye. Who awakes somewhere after her death!

Our first look at Faye in action!

Whelp, she might not be Kratos, but Faye can certainly kick some butt. Our first look at this new God of War title (assuming it'll adopt the GoW name) sees Faye attacked by planet creatures and easily dispatch them with aggressive move set of her own

Move over Kratos, I'm Team Faye now

(Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment)

I wasn't totally sold on a God of War prequel/spin-off without Kratos, but this gameplay is convincing me quickly. I'm wondering if PlayStation is showing us 20 minutes of gameplay out of the gate, could this game be closer to release?

And it's called God of War: Laufey

And there you have it, God of War: Laufey is coming to PS5. Not even a release year, so I guess my prediction that showing us so much of it today was a sign we might be close(ish) to release was wrong. I expect this is probably a late 2027 game at least.

And that's the State of Play June 2026 wrapped up!

God of War: Laufey concludes today's State of Play. It was a suitably epic ending!

Give me your rating for today's State of Play!

Now that State of Play is over, I want to know what you make of the showcase from PlayStation. I'm going with a solid B+. It was a good showing, but lacked major surprises, and I'm quite disappointed we didn't see Intergalactic whatsoever.

What was missing?

(Image credit: Tom's Guide)

We put up a poll earlier asking what games you were excited to see.

Unfortunately, every game on the list (except Wolverine) didn't make an appearance.

That includes Bloodborne (anything), FF7, RE9 DLC, Intergalactic, Horizon, Ken or Fairgames. It's actually surprising how many games were missing.

I did mention earlier that Summer Games Fest is on Friday. So, perhaps we'll see some of these games at that show, especially since they'll likely be multiplatform compared to some of the games shown today.

Most exciting announcement

Yes, God of War and Wolverine took up most of the but I think there were a couple of trailers that looked interesting.

For me, the Jurassic Park-esque "The Lost Wild" has my interest. I'm not sure where it's going, but I am curious.

Additionally, there was the trailer for Kemori. Look, I'm a surprisingly simple man, it turns out, and any game where you can grind wires like a skater will pique my interest.

There were more but I wanted to call those two out. Anything catch your eye?
