PlayStation State of Play (June 2026): every major announcement, remake, and spin-off

Sony dropped an absolute powerhouse of a State of Play broadcast, delivering a packed hour of gameplay reveals, release dates, and surprise sequels. The showcase bookended its presentation with two massive first-party heavy hitters: kicking things off with an extensive look at Marvel’s Wolverine and closing with the shocking reveal of a God of War spin-off.

Here is your comprehensive breakdown of everything showcased during the June 2026 presentation.

The Mega Headliners

God of War Laufey

The long-rumored Faye spin-off is officially real. Moving away from Kratos’ current path, God of War Laufey centers on Laufey the Just (Faye), Kratos’ late wife and Atreus’ mother. In a narrative twist, the game follows her journey through the afterlife. Hollywood actress Deborah Ann Woll (Daredevil) brings the fierce Frost Giant warrior to life.

“Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey, warrior and wife of Kratos, a brand-new adventure is only just beginning.”

Marvel’s Wolverine

Insomniac Games took center stage to show off their highly anticipated action title. The gameplay trailer features Logan on a high-speed motorcycle pursuit chasing down a cargo convoy. The brutal, claws-out combat clearly shares DNA with Insomniac’s acclaimed Spider-Man mechanics but with a much more aggressive, visceral edge. The trailer also confirmed an expansive X-Men cast, featuring appearances by Jean Grey, Sabretooth, and Mystique.

Control Resonant

Rayman Legends Retold

Ubisoft surprised fans by announcing a ground-up remake of one of the most beloved side-scrolling platformers of the seventh generation.

It will also feature entirely new 3D dragon-chase levels.
