Sony packed its June 2026 State of Play with more than an hour of new trailers, fresh release windows, and a few genuine surprises for the PlayStation 5. The broadcast leaned heavily on first-party studios and a handful of high-profile third-party titles, opening with Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine and closing on roughly 20 straight minutes of a new God of War. If you missed the live stream, you can revisit the lineup through Sony's official State of Play hub.
Marvel's Wolverine kicked off the show with faster, gorier combat
Insomniac opened the broadcast with a new gameplay trailer for Marvel's Wolverine. The studio has reworked the combo and counter system from its Spider-Man games into something quicker and far more brutal, trading Peter Parker and Miles Morales' lighter tone for the violence you'd expect from Logan. It's a clear shift in style that fits the character.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls leaned into its villains
Sony kept the Marvel momentum going with a new gameplay trailer for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. This one put the spotlight on the bad guys, showing off Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage trading blows with heroes like Storm and Spider-Man.
Rayman Legends Retold sets an October 1 launch
One of the bigger surprises was Rayman Legends Retold, a remake of Rayman Legends that moves to a 3D art style. It adds a new villain, a new story, and brand-new levels on top of the original platforming. It's scheduled to release on October 1.
Bancho the Chef is a Dave the Diver prequel
Bancho the Chef arrived as a direct prequel to Dave the Diver. You play as Bancho, the cook who later helps Dave by preparing whatever he hauls up from his dives. The game centers on cooking and running a restaurant through a series of minigames built around timing and precision under pressure.
Kemuri sets a 2027 release with three-player co-op
Ikumi Nakamura's next project, Kemuri, casts you as a demon hunter taking on supernatural enemies across a full cityscape with heavy melee combos. It supports three-player co-op and is targeting a 2027 release.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis gets its first look and a delay
Lara Croft's next adventure, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, showed off its first gameplay trailer. It carries the look of the reboot trilogy but dials up Lara's over-the-top stunts and personality, echoing the tone of the older games. The trailer also confirmed the game has been pushed back, with a 2027 target.
The rest of the lineup
Several other titles got trailers across the hour. The Lost Wild is a first-person stealth game set in an abandoned nature reserve filled with dinosaurs, where you avoid detection rather than fight. Silent Hill: Townfall follows a man tethered to others by a hand radio as he moves through an increasingly disturbing world. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve switches the series to a first-person perspective both inside and outside the cockpit, leaning harder into a personal story. Stuntman Hollywood is all about pulling off movie stunts in vehicles, with police chases, acrobatics, and even a time-traveling DeLorean making an appearance.
Ill stood out as the most violent reveal of the night, a first-person shooter about a man who wakes from a coma into a zombie apocalypse far grimmer than the usual fare, arriving in 2027. Control Resonant continues the Control universe with a new protagonist, new setting, and new mechanics. Marathon: Nightfall offered a darker, almost horror-tinged look at its upcoming season, complete with a new zone and shell. Until Dawn 2 marked the first reveal of Supermassive's sequel to the game that launched its branching-choice horror formula.
God of War: Laufey closed the show with Faye in the lead
The broadcast ended with nearly 20 minutes of gameplay for the next God of War, subtitled Laufey. This time you play as Faye, Kratos' second wife and Atreus' mother. As a giant, she's nearly as powerful as Kratos, wielding a sword and giant magic to cut through and blast away enemies with ease. The reveal also teased a talking cube as a companion.

Taken together, the show gave PS5 owners a mix of near-term releases, like Rayman Legends Retold in October, alongside longer-term bets such as Kemuri and Ill in 2027. The closing God of War segment was the clear centerpiece, signaling that Santa Monica Studio's next chapter is well underway with Faye at its heart.
