PlayStation revealed a packed schedule of first-party and third-party titles at their most recent State of Play. New franchises, remakes, and sequels fueled the bulk of the seventy-minute presentation with a number of games finally receiving release dates for 2026 and early 2027. Here’s everything that was shown at the June 2 State of Play.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac kicked off State of Play by presenting the first extended look at gameplay for Marvel’s Wolverine, following Logan as he attempts to rescue captive mutant children from Bolivar Trask’s cybernetically-enhanced Reavers with the help of new ally Jean Grey.
Wolverine can use his adamantium claws to stealthily ambush enemies and thin the herd before shredding enemies with a mix of strikes, leaps, and parries; opening them up to gory finishers. Damaging or killing Reavers builds Rage, allowing for stronger attacks or faster healing in the tradition of Spider-Man’s Focus Meter, and eventually pushing Wolverine into an immensely powerful monochromatic Rage Mode. Conversely, when Logan is downed in combat he can draw on his remaining rage to speed up his healing factor and make a last stand. The environment appears incredibly responsive to Wolverine’s attacks: enemies tumble over barriers, fly through storage containers, and one poor Reaver is even skewered on a forklift. Jean Grey will aid you in combat, too, by freezing and levitating enemies; leaving open the possibility for more team-ups with previously announced characters like Mystique and Sabretooth.
It all culminates in an Uncharted-style chase over the local freeway that has Wolverine leaping from truck to truck, slicing and dicing an army of robotic soldiers. It’s the kind of bombastic action for which Insomniac has become known and it appears Wolverine will have it in spades. Though some levels may end up being more open than others (such as the city of Madripoor) but Marvel’s Wolverine should prove a refreshingly linear and cinematic globetrotting adventure when it launches for PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls revealed another team who will fight to earn a chance to battle the Champion of the Universe: The Knights of Doom, comprised of Doctor Doom (of course), Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage. The announcement marks the first villain characters revealed by developer Arc System Works. Attendees at EVO 2026 Las Vegas over June 26-28 will have the opportunity to try out the 4v4 tag fighter before the official launch on August 6, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Rayman: Legends Retold
Rayman Legends Retold reimagines the acclaimed 2013 platformer wit a fresh 3D art style, new levels, fresh cinematics, and an expanded soundtrack. The original’s co-op mode will also be available for those who wish to save the Glade of Dreams with up to three friends. Check out our exclusive preview of Rayman: Legends Retold on Smash Jump before the game launches on October 1, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Bancho the Chef
Dave the Diver: In the Jungle may be less than two weeks away but developer MintRocket aren’t slowing down. Enter: Bancho the Chef, a cooking sim prequel in which players will experience the origins of the inimitable sushi maestro. In an adventure that will test Bancho’s fledgling culinary skills, players will collect ingredients, prepare tea, and cut fish under the tutelage of various sushi masters. We’ll have to wait until later this year for more details but you can find Bancho in the next Dave the Diver DLC when it releases on June 18.
Kemuri
Kemuri, a brand new co-operative action game from independent studio Unseen, will allow up to three players to become legendary Yokai Hunters, highly-skilled warriors who can see – and battle – supernatural creatures; deploying parkour abilities and traversal gadgets to explore Kemuri City, an urban sprawl where the boundary between this world and the next have become blurred. Players will squad up as one of three hunter classes (the Shaman, Bow Hunter, or Katana Hunter) and wield magical abilities taken from Yokai across the city, allowing for unique playstyles. Expect to see more from Kemuri in the coming months before the game releases sometime in 2027 exclusively on PlayStation 5.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
A reimagining of Lara Croft’s 1996 debut, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis looks to faithfully adapt the intrepid adventurer’s quest for Atlantis to modern consoles with the power of Unreal Engine 5. Redesigned puzzles, immersive environments, and cinematic action should make this a rewarding experience for fans and newcomers alike. We just can’t wait to lock poor Jeeves in the freezer in crystal-clear 4K. Legacy of Atlantis releases on February 12, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The next game in the series, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, is also slated for 2027.
The Lost Wild
The Lost Wild is a new evasion-based survival horror that takes place in an abandoned, dilapidated dinosaur research facility. In the tradition of Alien Isolation and its peers, protagonist Saskia must maneuver around the facility’s dynamic prehistoric threats by deploying distractions, analyzing behaviour, and (when necessary) running or hiding. Developer Great Ape Games have promised to reveal more about the game closer to its official launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5 and PC.
Phantom Blade 0
S-Game Studio provided another look at hotly anticipated action title Phantom Blade 0, showing off the game’s wild creature design, frenetic kung-fu combat, and inventive boss fights. A dedicated State of Play coming later this summer will provide a deeper look at Phantom Blade 0 before it releases on October 29, 2026 for PlayStation 5. Expect to hear more from us then.
Dune: Awakening
Developer Funcom finally revealed when open-world MMORPG Dune: Awakening will arrive on PlayStation and Xbox after more than a year on PC, finally allowing console players to explore the desolate desert sands of Arrakis. How this alternate timeline of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi world plays out will depend on your choices as you traverse the harsh climate, scavenge resources, build bases and engage in epic battles with soldiers and sandworms. Dune: Awakening launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S alongside a brand new single-player mode on September 22, 2026.
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered
Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered will modernize one of the most beloved Dynasty Warriors games, bringing together content from the 2001 original and the Xtreme Legends expansion with improved visuals and enhancements to the series’ pioneering 1 vs. 1000 combat such as evades, power guards, and weapon fusions. Dynasty Warriors Origins’ Ziluan also joins the roster as a playable character. Become a one-man army when the game launches on October 1, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
No Rest For the Wicked
Developer Moon Studios finally confirmed a release window for the 1.0 version of isometric soulslike No Rest for the Wicked after a lengthy period of Early Access on Steam. Up to four players can explore the desolate Isola Sacra, suffering from a plague known only as The Pestilence, and uncover its many secrets as they decide the fate of the kingdom. No Rest for the Wicked launches for PlayStation 5 and PC in October 2026 and for Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Capcom returns to the intense samurai action of the Onimusha franchise with its next entry, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. You play as Miyamoto Musashi (who appeared in the 2023 Netflix anime of the same name) who, as the wielder of the legendary Oni gauntlet, must defeat the invading Genma forces in Kyoto at the cost of his own humanity. Capcom also announced the Sealed Curse cosmetic and Lion Dog charm as pre-order bonuses. You can try the game for yourself with the demo available now on PlayStation 5 before checking out our preview on Smash Jump. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches September 25, 2026 exclusively for PlayStation 5.
Silent Hill: townfall
Silent Hill: townfall is the next installment in the revitalized survival horror franchise, following new protagonist Simon Ordell as he explores his past on the requisitely foggy island of St. Amelia, Scotland. Simon’s journey will force him to solve puzzles using his portable radio and destroy nightmarish creatures lurking in the shadows. Developer Screen Burn Interactive has confirmed Simon can make choices throughout the game that will affect the ending in the Silent Hill tradition. Silent Hill: townfall launches for PlayStation 5 and PC on September 24, 2026.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve
Bandai Namco Entertainment will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Ace Combat series with its next entry, Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. The dogfighting action game will task your pilot with reclaiming the lost Federation of Central Usea and defeating the invading Republic of Sotoa. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve launches for PlayStation 5 and PC on October 2, 2026. Deluxe Edition owners can play in Early Access from September 29 and pre-orders include a bonus digital version of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War.
Stuntman Hollywood

Completing stunts and challenges will boost your stuntman’s popularity and progress their career in Hollywood. Saber Interactive have promised that more details, including a release date, will be forthcoming in 2026.
ILL
Developer Team Clout unveiled a story trailer for highly anticipated first-person horror ILL. A recently awoken coma patient explores a gargantuan, decaying research facility overrun by indescribable Aberrations. You’ll find different weapons with which to defend yourself, including firearms and melee weapons, against surprisingly responsive enemies who adapt to your tactics and hide in the environment as part of crunchy, nerve-wracking combat scenarios. Survive the unrelenting, disgusting world of ILL when it launches in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Control Resonant
Remedy Entertainment returns to the world of the Oldest House in Control Resonant, where a paranatural force has broken containment and escaped into a warped version of Manhattan. You’ll play as Director Jesse’s brother Dylan Faden as he engages in frenetic melee battles across New York City and discovers the truth about his mysterious past. Control Resonant launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 24, 2026. Digital Deluxe Edition owners can play the game in Early Access up to 48 hours before launch.
Marathon: Nightfall
Bungie’s FPS extraction shooter Marathon will soon begin its second season, introducing a new zone in Dire Marsh (Night) and the Sentinel shell, as well as new equipment, weapons, and cosmetics. The game’s progression system resets every season, allowing all players to experience a fresh start while retaining their cosmetics, achievements, and codex progression. Marathon is available for free as part of an Open Play Week until Nightfall launches on June 9, 2026.
PlayStation Plus
Sony announced several additions to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium during State of Play. Open world survival game Runescape: Dragonwilds makes its way to the Game Catalog day one on September 15, 2026; while the Classics Catalog will add three vintage titles in Gitarooman, Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams across June, July, and August respectively.
Until Dawn 2
The fan-favourite horror series returns after eleven long years. A cast of TV ghost hunters explore a tropical island hiding a dark secret. Everyone can live. Anyone can die. Until Dawn is back, baby. Developed by newcomer Firesprite as opposed to the original’s Supermassive, Until Dawn 2 sees the return of the Butterfly Effect system deployed across the original Until Dawn, spiritual successor The Quarry, and The Dark Pictures Anthology. Players will have the opportunity to save, or murder, another gang of obnoxious twenty-somethings when Until Dawn 2 launches for PlayStation 5 in 2027.
God of War: Laufey
Sony Santa Monica’s God of War franchise continues in God of War: Laufey, following the adventures of Kratos’ wife Faye (Deborah Ann Woll) from her funeral pyre and into the afterlife of the gods; announced alongside a twenty-minute gameplay reveal that wrapped up the State of Play. Combat blends the grounded approach of modern God of War with the movement and fluidity of the classic Greek saga; Faye deploys far more aerial attacks and can juggle enemies midair before slamming down into the earth. Magic also plays a critical role: as the Golden Hand of the Jötnar she can detach enemies’ souls from their bodies and use them in devastating area-of-effect combos. Companion characters return in the form of gelatinous cube Phranque (Jack Quaid) and sword ribbon Rue (Perlina Lau), each with their own secondary attacks that will assist Faye in combat.
Laufey will likely feature a smorgasbord of godly traditions from the Egyptian to the Buddhist, but could we also see the return of the (mostly dead) Greek pantheon in this next installment? Expect more details closer to release when God of War: Laufey launches exclusively on PlayStation 5.
