With only Marvel\u2019s Wolverine currently listed as being part of the hour-plus long presentation set to share \u201cupdates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world\u201d, there\u2019s a lot to theorise about.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For context, last year\u2019s equivalent stream saw the reveals of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Nioh 3, and Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, as well as fresh gameplay looks at 007 First Light, Silent Hill f, Ghost of Yotei, and Pragmata. But what can we expect to see this year? Well, let\u2019s get stuck in and look at exactly that.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>PlayStation Studios and Exclusives<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As I said, we know <strong>Marvel\u2019s Wolverine <\/strong>will be making an appearance, and indeed kicking off the show, ahead of its September 15 release. Detailed as \u201cshowing off Logan\u2019s brutal and relentless combat,\u201d it seems like we\u2019ll be getting a good look at gameplay and how controlling Wolverine will differ from Insomniac\u2019s Spider-Man \u2014 presumably with a whole lot more blood involved.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>God of War <\/strong>is a series that\u2019s no stranger to a State of Play appearance. Back in February, we saw not one, but two announcements made by Sony Santa Monica, including a full remake of the original Kratos trilogy, and the shadow drop of 2D side-scroller God of War: Sons of Sparta. Seeing as we only got a logo for the remakes a few months back, it might be fair to assume that those games are a fair while away, so getting a further glimpse may be a stretch. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">But could we see something of Santa Monica\u2019s other long-rumoured project? The developer is reportedly working on a spin-off focused on Kratos\u2019 wife, Faye. Could this make a giant-sized impact on June 2? Then there\u2019s supposedly a brand-new IP in the works at the studio being helmed by God of War 2018 director, Cory Barlog. Who knows, maybe we\u2019ll even see that. They certainly seem busy over there.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Is it finally time for <strong>Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet<\/strong> to reemerge? It\u2019s been almost 18 months since the reveal of Naughty Dog\u2019s latest, with that one trailer still our only glimpse of it. Some gameplay would be lovely, and if we\u2019re dreaming, some sort of release date window would be very much appreciated, too. Creator Neil Druckmann has called it the \u201cmost ambitious game\u201d the Uncharted and Last of Us studio has ever made. It\u2019s time to see what makes it that.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Screenshots<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/marvels-wolverine-intergalactic-the-heretic-prophet-and-new-god-of-war-what-to-expect-from-playstations-state-of-play-june-2026.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Housemarque did just recently give us <strong>Saros, <\/strong>but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we won\u2019t be seeing it here. After all, the studio\u2019s previous game, Returnal, gave us a fair amount of post-launch additions, including co-op play and the endless Tower of Sisyphus mode. Could we see something similar come to Saros?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It feels a little too early to see what the third part of Guerrilla Games\u2019 Horizon trilogy is, but <em>does<\/em> feel like we should get another look at its latest spin-off, <strong>Horizon Hunters Gathering<\/strong>. A three-player co-op machine hunting action game with a decidedly more cartoonish art style than we\u2019re used to from Aloy\u2019s world, it will be interesting to see what form this multiplayer entry will take. Free-to-play? Full price? There\u2019s still plenty left to find out about it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for other PlayStation studios, we still don\u2019t know what a lot of them are working on. It\u2019s fair to assume Polyphony is developing another Gran Turismo, and with it being over four years since the last, could we see <strong>Gran Turismo 8<\/strong> pop up on the 2nd? 2027 marks 30 years for the series, so it seems like a nice time for another dose of sim-racing action if you ask me. It\u2019s also been a long time since we\u2019ve heard from LittleBigPlanet and Dreams creators <strong>Media Molecule<\/strong>, Days Gone developers <strong>Bend<\/strong>, and whatever is happening with Haven\u2019s <strong>Fairgames <\/strong>\u2014 could it be rebranding to Break In? We\u2019ll take hearing from any of these studios as a win.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And then there are the PS5 exclusives that are being made outside of Sony\u2019s first-party structure, such as <strong>Phantom Blade Zero. <\/strong>The S-Game developed action game looks more impressive each and every time we see new gameplay, and we certainly wouldn\u2019t say no to another peek here. Set for a September 8 release, it certainly makes sense for it to show up.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Similarly, <strong>Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls <\/strong>is due to launch on August 6. Having undergone a couple of beta tests now, we\u2019ve seen plenty of this fighting game in motion, with Savage Hulk and Shuri\u2019s Black Panther the most recently confirmed characters on its roster. There\u2019s always room for more heroes, though, so maybe we\u2019ll get another addition at this State of Play. Another PS5 exclusive, <strong>4:Loop, <\/strong>also staged a recent beta, suggesting that maybe it isn\u2019t a million miles away from a release date either. The co-op shooter from JJ Abrams\u2019 Bad Robot Studios, directed by Left4Dead\u2019s Mike Booth, will be looking to turn around Sony\u2019s multiplayer woes.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>Third-Party and Multi-Platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019ll get this one out of the way. No, don\u2019t expect <strong>GTA 6<\/strong> to show up here. But there are plenty of other multi-platform games that we\u2019ve seen featured at previous PlayStation showcases that we\u2019d love to see more of on June 2.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Revealed in February, Saber Interactive\u2019s <strong>John Wick<\/strong> game was certainly a surprise. Some gameplay of this Keanu Reeves-starring prequel to the movies would be a treat. At the same State of Play, Konami\u2019s first mainline Castlevania game in 17 years was announced, with <strong>Castlevania: Belmont\u2019s Curse <\/strong>returning to its 2D action roots. With a long PlayStation lineage tied to the series, we\u2019d wouldn\u2019t be shocked to see it again. Two other games set to come out later in 2026, <strong>Control Resonant<\/strong> and <strong>Star Wars: Galactic Racer,<\/strong> were also at that State of Play and could make a reappearance.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis <\/strong>is a remake of the original Lara Croft adventure, and, seeing as how important that game was for the original PlayStation, a State of Play would be a logical place for more of it to be shown off. Someone entirely not used to calling PlayStation home, though, is Master Chief. <strong>Halo: Campaign Evolved<\/strong> is a remake of the first Halo single-player story and is coming to PS5. However, it would make a lot more sense to see this at Xbox\u2019s Showcase, which will be held a few days later on June 7. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As if two Marvel games weren\u2019t enough, there\u2019s also a chance we\u2019ll see <strong>Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, <\/strong>which has been indefinitely delayed \u201cbeyond early 2026.\u201d If this really is Captain America and Black Panther in an Uncharted-like action-adventure from Amy Hennig, then a look at gameplay would be much welcomed. And then there\u2019s <strong>Project Windless,<\/strong> a new action-adventure game starring a sword-wielding seven-foot chicken from PUBG publishers, Krafton<strong>.<\/strong> Now isn\u2019t the time for me to fully go into details of the nightmares I used to have as a child about being chased by a giant chicken man, but I won\u2019t lie to you, I\u2019m both excited for and terrified of this game in equal measure.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\"><strong>Hardware<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We\u2019re not expecting any new PlayStation consoles until late 2027 at the very earliest, but with Xbox already teasing Project Helix, will that force Sony into giving us a sneak peek of what the PS6 may have in store for us? Well, it\u2019s unlikely due to the soaring costs of RAM globally and the general economic conditions being needlessly sent into disarray by American tariff policies and AI\u2019s impact on society, but I guess you really do never know.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Rumours have circulated of a new PlayStation handheld, after suggestions were made in 2025 that Sony could even be following Nintendo\u2019s blueprint for the Switch, and turning the PlayStation 6 into a hybrid home and portable console. Of course, this is all just wild speculation, but with powerful hardware only reducing in size and cloud capabilities ever-growing, it doesn\u2019t feel like too much of a stretch to imagine. Whether we see something that physically resembles this speculation at June\u2019s State of Play is, again, unlikely, and something maybe for late this year\/early next.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">So, that\u2019s everything to expect from June 2nd\u2019s PlayStation stream. There will, we hope, be plenty of surprises, though. What game are you most excited to see more of?
