PlayStation State of Play June 2026: Every Game Reveal & Trailer
Sony's June 2026 State of Play was a stacked one, packing in enough announcements to make your wallet nervous.
The opener (Wolverine) and the closer (a new God of War) were the headliners, but the surprises in between are where it got interesting.
Key Takeaways
- God of War Laufey was the surprise headliner. Play as Faye in a new story set in the Everywhen afterlife. Now available to wishlist on PS5.
- Marvel's Wolverine launches September 15 with a 7-minute gameplay deep dive, Jean Grey as an ally, and pre-orders now live.
- Control Resonant hits September 24, with Dylan Faden taking the lead instead of Jesse.
- Rayman is officially back. Rayman Legends Retold is a full 2.5D remake landing October 1.
- Silent Hill: Townfall got a release date.
- Until Dawn 2 was announced.
- Ace Combat 8 (October 2), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (September, demo today), and Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis all showed up with release windows.
God of War Laufey: TBA
The biggest surprise of the show wasn't a leak that panned out. It was Faye. God of War Laufey puts you in control of Laufey (Faye), the warrior wife of Kratos who was a quiet but powerful presence throughout the Norse saga.
Here's the setup. Faye's story picks up right where her life ended — Kratos cremates her outside their home, and instead of rest, she wakes somewhere else entirely: the Everywhen, a realm where the gods themselves go when they die.
It's not a peaceful afterlife. Deities pulled from mythologies all over are locked in a power struggle, and Faye quickly learns that everything she'd arranged to keep Kratos and Atreus safe back home is starting to unravel. Cutting her way through the Everywhen is the only way to set it right.
The gameplay is a mix of old and new. Santa Monica Studio says it blends the movement and fluidity of the Greek-era God of War games with the deeper world-building and character work of the Norse era. Ariel Lawrence is the game director, with Cory Barlog overseeing as head of creative. No release date was announced yet, but it's now available to wishlist on PS5.
Marvel's Wolverine: September 15
This was the headliner, and it delivered. Insomniac showed seven minutes of extended gameplay (not a cinematic, but actual gameplay) and it looks exactly as violent as a Wolverine game should. Combat is brutal, with blood flying as Logan slices through enemies.
The demo follows him tracking a group of mutants captured by the Reavers, a cybernetic militia working for industrialist Bolivar Trask, and includes bike sections and a look at his healing factor. Jean Grey joins as an ally, using her own mutant abilities in combat. Pre-orders went live immediately after the trailer aired.
This has been a long time coming. Announced way back in 2021, Marvel's Wolverine has been through a quiet development cycle, but this trailer confirms Insomniac hasn't missed a beat. It launches September 15 exclusively on PS5.
Control Resonant: September 24
Remedy's Control sequel finally has a name and a date. Control Resonant launches September 24, and there's an interesting twist: Dylan Faden, Jesse's brother who spent most of the first game locked up, is the sole playable character. Remedy's Mikael Kasurinen confirmed Jesse still "shapes the path," but the perspective shift is a bold move.
The trailer showed new powers, a haunting soundtrack, and environments that feel more surreal than the original. If you liked the first game's weirdness, this one looks like it cranks it up.
Rayman Legends Retold: October 1
The crowd favorite nobody predicted. Ubisoft is giving Rayman Legends the full remake treatment with Rayman Legends Retold, a complete rebuild in gorgeous 2.5D. The art style pops, the animations are buttery, and it lands October 1. Platformer fans, this one's for you.
Silent Hill: Townfall: September 24
We finally know when Silent Hill: Townfall is coming. The trailer dropped a release date of September 24th, 2026, and gave us another look at the game's unsettling atmosphere. It's been a while since we've seen anything substantial from this project, so the date reveal was a welcome surprise.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve: October 2
Bandai Namco brought Ace Combat 8 with a release date trailer and a deluxe edition trailer. October 2 is the day. Theve looks like a gorgeous addition to the franchise, with the series' signature over-the-top dogfighting and dramatic set pieces.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword: September 25
Capcom's return to the Onimusha franchise has a release date: September 25, 2026. Even better, a playable demo launched immediately after the State of Play ended. You can download it right now on PS5. Fans of the original series have been waiting over a decade for this.
Until Dawn 2: Officially Announced
Sony pulled the curtain back on a proper numbered sequel to Until Dawn, and it's a bigger swing than you'd expect. Firesprite is developing (not Supermassive, who made the 2015 original), and the setting trades the snowed-in cabin for a sun-soaked island that's anything but relaxing.
This time the cast plays a crew of ghost hunters filming a TV show, only to find the supernatural threats they've been faking turn out to be real. The trailer leans into the branching-fate hook that made the first game a cult classic, promising "everyone can live and everyone can die," and a familiar face from the original closes it out, confirming the two share a universe. No release date yet, but it's targeting 2027.
Marathon Season 2: Gameplay Trailer
Bungie showed off Marathon Season 2 with a new gameplay trailer. The extraction shooter's second season, called Nightfall, includes an Open Play Week event. The game has had a rocky launch, but this trailer suggests Bungie is doubling down on content.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis: February 12, 2027
The next Tomb Raider got a new trailer. Legacy of Atlantis looks like it's blending the classic TR exploration with the modern reboot's combat. The trailer confirmed a February 12, 2027 launch date.
Lost Wild: 2027
If you've been waiting for a game that finally scratches the Dino Crisis itch, this might be it. Lost Wild is a dinosaur survival game that looks like someone dropped Jurassic Park into a PS5.
The trailer showed dense jungle environments, a real sense of being hunted, and dinosaurs that actually behave like animals instead of scripted set pieces. It's slated for a 2027 release on PS5.
Dune: Awakening: September 22
The survival MMO is finally coming to consoles. Dune: Awakening hits PS5 on September 22, and it's bringing something new with it. The console port includes an all-new single-player mode that wasn't part of the PC version.
The trailer showed sweeping Arrakis landscapes, sandworms, and the kind of survival gameplay that makes you think twice about stepping outside the shield wall. If you've been playing on PC, your progress won't carry over, but the solo campaign is a solid reason to jump in fresh.
Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen: 2027
Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen comes from Ikumi Nakamura, the artist behind The Evil Within. The first gameplay trailer showed characters zipping through a neon-lit city and fighting paranormal creatures. It's got style for days and the kind of creature design you'd expect from Nakamura. It's heading to PS5 in 2027.
Bancho the Chef: TBA
Dave the Diver is getting a prequel, and it's about the character everyone wanted to know more about. Bancho the Chef tells the story of how Bancho, the intense sushi master from the original game, learned his craft. It's in development for PS5 with no release date yet. Yes, this is real. Yes, it looks as charming as it sounds.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls - Knights of Doom
If Wolverine was a bit too serious for you, this is the palette cleanser. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls showed its Knights of Doom trailer during the State of Play.
It's a 2D fighting game leaning hard into the villain side of Marvel. Green Goblin, Carnage, Magneto, and Doctor Doom were all shown. It might also be the ideal game to test Sony's FlexStrike fight stick, which launches the same day, August 6.
FlexStrike Fight Stick: August 6
Sony's first official PlayStation fight stick finally has a date. The FlexStrike — revealed as "Project Defiant" back at the June 2025 State of Play — launches August 6, 2026, the same day as Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls.
Priced at $200, it's a wireless stick for PS5 and PC with toolless swappable restrictor gates (square, circle, octagon), mechanical buttons, PlayStation Link support, and a bundled carry case. Pre-orders open June 12.
Also Noted
A few more games showed up with quick trailers: ILL (a horror game with a creepy story trailer) and Stuntman: Hollywood (the classic stunt-driving series is back).
Notably absent: Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which many expected to show up. It was a no-show entirely, and recent reporting suggests it won't land until 2027 at the earliest.
The Full State of Play Stream
If you missed the show, the full 90-minute stream is up on PlayStation's YouTube channel. It covers every trailer, announcement, and gameplay segment in full.
The Bottom Line
This was a strong State of Play. Wolverine delivered the goods, Control Resonant looks like a worthy sequel, and God of War Laufey was the kind of closer that gets people talking — handing the series to Faye was a bold swing nobody could be sure Sony would actually take. Add in the curveballs (Rayman, Until Dawn 2, Stuntman) and it's clear Sony still knows how to keep an audience guessing. The second half of 2026 is stacked for PS5 owners: September through October alone has Wolverine, Control Resonant, Rayman, Ace Combat 8, and Onimusha.
