His eyes lit up: what was shown on PlayStation State of Play 2026
Summer is the traditional time for gaming conferences and major announcements. Although the main event in June, the Summer Game Fest— is taking place this weekend, Sony has decided to start early and has already held a new presentation of the State of Play. All the main announcements on PS that are worth paying close attention to are in the Izvestia material.
God of War Laufey
Like the previous projects in the series, the new part is being developed by Santa Monica Studio. This time, the main character will not be Kratos, but his wife Laufei. The overall tone of the game will remain close to the previous installments, but the gameplay will noticeably change: players will find a combat system focused on acrobatics with the active use of magic. In addition, the game will feature unusual companions: a giant six-legged flying cat and a talking jelly cube named Frank.
Control Resonant
The sequel to Control from Remedy Entertainment will be released on September 24. The trailer revealed the plot of the game for the first time. The main character will be Dylan Feiden, who spent most of the events of the first Game in custody. According to Remedy's creative director Mikael Kasurinen, Dylan will be the only playable character in Resonant. But his sister Jessie, the main character of the first game, will still play an important role in the story and will "determine the path" of the new protagonist.
Ace Combat 8
The Ace Combat series is famous for its unusual combination of spectacular aerial combat and serial plots. And it looks like there will be even more drama in the eighth part. Judging by the trailer, Ace Combat 8 will also mix an emotional story and dynamic aerial duels. But that's why fans have loved the franchise for many years. The project will be released on October 2.
Silent Hill: Townfall
Silent Hill is experiencing a real upswing after the successful remake of Silent Hill 2 and warmly received by Silent Hill F players. The new project will add another unusual direction to the series and offer its own perspective on psychological horror. The game will be released on September 24. Its plot revolves around a young man named Simon Ordell, who arrives in 1996 in the Scottish port town of St. Amelia, located on an isolated island.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Players have greeted the Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo with great enthusiasm, and some have already dubbed it one of Capcom's biggest future hits. They praise the deep combat system, tied to timings, parries and spectacular counterattacks, as well as animation and witty dialogues between the main character Miyamoto Musashi and his talking demonic glove. The full version of the game will be released on September 25.
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis
The new trailer for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has allowed us to properly review the updated first adventure of Lara Croft from Crystal Dynamics studio. The game looks very impressive, and most importantly, the controls have finally become convenient. Apparently, the remake will preserve the spirit of the classics, but get rid of outdated elements and make exploration, platforming and battles more comfortable for modern players. The game's release date is February 12, 2027.
Rayman Legends Retold
Unexpectedly, Ubisoft studio announced a remake of its legendary 2013 platformer. The game will receive noticeably updated graphics, although there are already fierce debates on the Internet about the design of the characters. The project will be released on October 1.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac Games has revealed a new trailer for the game and even more gameplay featuring Wolverine. Unlike the Spider-Man series, Marvel's Wolverine will focus on a more linear adventure with an emphasis on plot and action, as well as extremely bloody battles. The trailer also features one of the key characters of the X-Men universe, Jean Grey. The game will be released on September 15th.
Stuntman: Hollywood
Another surprise of the presentation was the relaunch of the Stuntman series, a movie stunt simulator. The new game will recreate famous stunt scenes from cult films and TV series, including "Back to the Future", "Knight of the Roads" and other Hollywood blockbusters.
The Lost Wild
A horror movie that looks literally like the dream of all fans of Jurassic Park. The project promises intense battles with prehistoric predators, from which it will not always be possible to fend off. The Lost Wild is scheduled to be released in 2027.
Phantom Blade Zero
So far, a very small teaser of the long-awaited action RPG has appeared — the developers will show more content in the summer. The release, however, has already been postponed from September to October 29. Together with the elite assassin Soul, who was unfairly accused of murdering the leader of his own organization, the player will embark on an exciting adventure. The mortally wounded hero survives thanks to a mystical drug that prolongs his life by exactly 66 days. In this short time, Soul must have time to take revenge on his former best friend, find the true conspirators and clear his name.
No Rest for the Wicked
A dark isometric action role-playing game from the Austrian studio Moon Studios, the creators of the Ori dilogy. No Rest for the Wicked was released early on PC in April 2024, and the full release of version 1.0 is scheduled for October 2026. The player will take on the role of Cerim, a member of a mystical order of holy warriors sworn at all costs to eradicate Pestilence, an ancient plague that destroys the earth and turns living beings into ugly monsters.
ILL
Team Clout studio has moved under the wing of Mundfish — the creators of Atomic Heart now act as publishers of the horror ILL and will provide powerful financial and technical support to developers. The trailer is filled with brutality and detailed body horror, but running from monsters in a mysterious Eastern European tower won't happen until 2027.
Kemuri
The conference featured the first trailer for an action movie dedicated to supernatural fighters. The plot takes place in the scenery of a huge metropolis, in which the characters will hunt youkai demons. The project is led by renowned game designer Ikumi Nakamura, who has been recognized for her work on Ghostwire: Tokyo. The game is scheduled for release in 2027.
