State of Play Unveils God of War Prequel and Wolverine Gameplay

Sony’s State of Play on June 2, 2026, delivered announcements and footage for multiple upcoming PS5 titles across action, horror, racing, and flight simulation.

The event closed with 20 minutes of footage from **God of War: Laufey**, a Santa Monica Studio prequel centered on Faye, whose choices shaped the events of God of War (2018). Insomniac Games followed with seven minutes of bloody gameplay for **Marvel's Wolverine**, showing Logan in his yellow suit wielding blades in weighty combat with heavy blood effects. The game launches exclusively on PS5 on September 15, 2026.

Remedy Entertainment dated **Control Resonant** for September 24, 2026, with Dylan Faden as the sole playable character while his sister Jesse shapes the story. **Silent Hill: Townfall** also arrives on PS5 that day, following Simon Ordell as he returns to the fog-shrouded island of St. Amelia. **Stuntman: Hollywood** was announced for PS5, placing players as a stunt performer on films inspired by Universal Pictures properties with arcade-style racing and destruction levels. **Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve** launches on October 2, 2026 (Deluxe Edition early access September 28), featuring a Strangereal campaign, giant weapon battles, over 30 aircraft, and command of Joker Squadron. **Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis** is set for February 12, 2027.

The reveals highlight Sony’s focus on first-party narrative-driven games and third-party sequels to sustain PS5 momentum through 2026 and into 2027. Multiple titles are scheduled for September 24, 2026. The Silent Hill: Townfall ESRB rating notes blood, strong language, and violence. Stuntman: Hollywood draws influences from Burnout and Split/Second, while Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis runs on Unreal Engine 5 with a Survivor Outfit pre-order bonus based on the 2013 reboot.
