What to expect: major confirmed & rumored showcases
Marvel’s Wolverine (Confirmed)
Insomniac Games’ next blockbuster is the officially confirmed headliner for today’s broadcast. Expect an extended look at gameplay highlighting Logan’s brutal, physics-heavy, claw-based combat. Given that the Spider-Man franchise stands as the highest-selling pillar of the PS5 generation, Wolverine is poised to be Sony’s absolute heaviest hitter for the back half of the year.
God of War Spinoff: Faye (Rumored)
One of the most widespread industry theories suggests Santa Monica Studio will unveil a standalone companion game focusing on Kratos’ late wife, Laufey the Just (Faye), voiced by Deborah Ann Woll.
Rather than a mainline sequel moving to a new pantheon (like Egypt), this prequel would map out her history as a ferocious Frost Giant warrior who famously went toe-to-toe with both Thor and Kratos prior to her marriage.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet (Wild Card)
Naughty Dog’s long-gestating, brand-new sci-fi IP has been kept tightly under wraps since its initial reveal. Marking the studio’s first departure from the Uncharted and The Last of Us universes in over a decade, the game centers on a futuristic bounty hunter marooned on an isolated planet. While highly anticipated, it currently lacks a concrete release window and may skip today’s show if the God of War spin-off takes up the majority of first-party stage time.
What NOT to expect today
To keep your hype levels safely in check, industry insiders suggest keeping expectations realistic on a few fronts:
No Grand Theft Auto VI: Rockstar Games notoriously marches to the beat of its own drum; do not look for Trailer 3 or gameplay drops during a third-party PlayStation platform stream.
No Destiny 3: Following the structural shifts at Bungie and the sunsetting patterns of the past week, an immediate sequel announcement is completely off the table.
No Hogwarts Legacy 2: While a sequel to the massive wizarding simulator is inevitably in the pipeline at Warner Bros., there are no indicators pointing toward an active reveal today.
