June 2’s State of Play officially kicked off the summer showcase season in the world of video games. From a brand new God of War game to a fresh look at Marvel’s Wolverine, here’s everything that was shown in the stream as we got a sneak peek into the future of PlayStation.
To help ensure you don't miss a thing, this roundup has gathered all of the biggest moments from the State of Play, and we'd love to know what your favorite reveal was!
God of War Laufey
The biggest reveal of this State of Play had to be a first look at Santa Monica Studio’s God of War Laufey. This extended 20-minute gameplay sequence gave us our first look at Faye, Kratos’ wife, in action, as she seemingly makes her way to the afterlife to face gods of different mythologies who aren’t happy she’s there. Deborah Ann Woll is reprising her role as Faye, and you can check out our big exclusive interview with the developer here. Oh, and there’s a talking gelatinous cube voiced by The Boys’ Jack Quaid.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Opening the show was another good look at Marvel’s Wolverine, as Insomniac showed us more of Logan in action. Unapologetically violent and drenched in blood, it's set to be a more linear action-adventure when compared to the studio’s Spider-Man games, as was showcased in this chunk of gameplay, which also featured the X-Men’s Jean Grey.
It’s due out exclusively on PS5 on September 15, 2026.
We have much more on the game in another big Marvel’s Wolverine interview here.
You can also currently preorder the game at Amazon or the PlayStation Store.
Until Dawn 2
Who saw this one coming? Firesprite is making a sequel to Supermassive’s Until Dawn and its going to be released in 2027. This one sees a group of ghosthunters visiting a tropical island, but it all looks to go wrong once a slasher killer-like figure turns up.
Stuntman Hollywood
Another unexpected, but completely welcome surprise was the revival of the Stuntman series. This one looks to be taking real-life movie and TV sequences from the likes of Back to the Future and Knight Rider into the action this time around.
Kemuri
We got our first look at the stylish Kemuri, a three-player action yokai hunting game coming in 2027. It's the first game from Unseen Games, the studio set up by Ikumi Nakamura.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
A new Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis trailer gave us a good look at Crystal Dynamics' remake of Lara Croft's first adventure. It's looking very nice, and, crucially, slick to control.
Have you tried playing the original Tomb Raider recently? It's a nightmare.
The release date is February 12, 2027. Preorders are live now for the standard, deluxe, digital deluxe, and collector's edition.
Rayman Legends Retold
Rayman is back. Who saw that coming? Anyone who saw one of the multiple leaks over the past few days is who.
It's priced at $39.99, with preorders already live for its October 1, 2026 release date as well.
We got a good look at gameplay from Rayman Legends Retold, as Ubisoft revisits its beloved platformer.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Capcom is looking to extend its winning streak with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The latest trailer comes alongside a release date of September 25. A demo is also now available for the game.
Control Resonant
Control Resonant continues to look amazing as we get a peek at a story trailer that also announces a September 24 release.
For those interested in securing a copy of Control Resonant, preorders are already live at various retailers, and PS5 users can even give 48 hour early access when purchasing the Digitial Deluxe Edition.
September is suddenly starting to look very busy…
Phantom Blade Zero
We got another small look at Phantom Blade Zero, followed by the promise of a deep dive dedicated State of Play later this summer, ahead of its, you guessed it, September release.
Silent Hill: Townfall
The new Silent Hill: Townfall trailer looks suitably horrible.
September 24 is the release date for that one.
I hope you weren't planning on leaving the house in September.
Dune: Awakening
More games to play in September! Dune: Awakening was shown off ahead of a September 22 release on PS5.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
A new look at Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls gave us villain Doctor Doom in action, as well as Magneto, Carnage, and Green Goblin ahead of the game's August 6 launch.
ILL
Back to the horrible stuff now and another look at ILL, coming in 2027. Again, it looks disgusting, if you're into that.
The Lost Wild
A first look at The Lost Wild was shown. Not a whole lot to go off from apart from some dinosaurs and some stealth gameplay. Looks cool!
Bancho the Chef
Dave the Diver developer Mintrocket revealed a prequel telling the origin story of its sushi master, Bancho the Chef.
Marathon
Bungie gave us a look at Marathon's second season, Nightfall, which launches today. Unsurprisingly, no mention of Destiny.
No Rest for the Wicked
The full 1.0 release of Moon Studio's No Rest for the Wicked is coming to PS5 in October.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve had a story trailer for us. The release date is October 2.
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered got a release date of October 1, 2026.
PS Plus Updates
Runescape: Dragonwilds will be included in PS Plus later in 2026. Gitaroo Man, Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams are all joining the classics library.
