Expected Games at PlayStation State of Play 2026
Sony confirmed the event will feature first-party games from PlayStation Studios, along with third-party and indie games coming to PlayStation 5. While Sony hasn’t revealed the exact lineup, leakers, insiders, and gaming journalists have shared strong predictions about what we’ll see. Here are the most likely games to appear:
Marvel’s Wolverine
Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games is one of the most anticipated PlayStation exclusives. The game was first revealed in 2021, and we’ve only seen one trailer since then. Fans are expecting either a concrete release date or an extended gameplay showcase showing how Wolverine’s combat works.
Saros
Saros is Housemarque’s next game after the critically acclaimed Returnal. It’s an action game currently scheduled for April 30, 2026 on PS5. Since the game comes out in less than three months, we should definitely see gameplay and probably a final launch trailer during the State of Play.
Devil May Cry 6
One of the biggest rumors surrounding this State of Play is that Capcom will announce Devil May Cry 6. Multiple leakers and insiders have suggested the game is ready to be revealed, and the timing makes sense since a Devil May Cry Netflix series premiered in 2025. Capcom could use the State of Play to build hype for the franchise’s return after years of silence.
Resident Evil Requiem
Resident Evil Requiem releases on February 27, 2026, just two weeks after the State of Play. Capcom will almost certainly show a final gameplay trailer or demo announcement to build last-minute hype before launch. Expect a deep dive into the game’s story, enemies, and mechanics.
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Naughty Dog’s first new IP in over a decade was revealed at The Game Awards 2024. Since then, we’ve only had one disappointing update confirming the game won’t release in 2026. Even though it’s not releasing this year, we’re overdue for a gameplay showcase. The initial reveal was cinematic only, and fans are desperate to see how the game actually plays. Some predict we’ll get gameplay plus a confirmed 2027 release date during this State of Play.
God of War Spin-Off Game
A rumored God of War game has been floating around for over a year. Insiders suggested it would be revealed in 2025, but that never happened. With a God of War TV series coming to Amazon Prime and the franchise being one of PlayStation’s biggest, fans think the State of Play could finally reveal this spin-off project.
Horizon Hunters Gathering
Guerrilla Games announced Horizon Hunters Gathering just days before the State of Play was confirmed. It’s a co-op action game with three-player teams hunting machines in tactical missions. The art style is more cartoonish than the main Horizon games, similar to Fortnite. Since it was only announced recently, the State of Play will likely include a gameplay deep dive showing how the co-op mechanics work and what missions look like.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a Marvel fighting game being developed by Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, BlazBlue). The game had a beta in late 2025 and is scheduled for 2026, but doesn’t have a specific release date yet.
Other Rumored Games
Additional games that might appear include:
- Death Stranding 2 PC Port
- Control Resonant
- Okami 2
