Sony’s June 2026 State of Play delivered over an hour of massive PS5 announcements, answering long-standing rumors and establishing a remarkably packed release calendar for the rest of the year. From Insomniac’s brutal gameplay deep-dive into Marvel’s Wolverine to a surprise spin-off for God of War, here is a complete breakdown of everything shown during the showcase.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac Games Started the showcase with a massive 7-minute extended gameplay trailer that fully leaned into a mature, violent tone. The footage showcased Logan violently dispatching cybernetically enhanced enemies, utilizing a rage meter, and repeatedly stabbing foes with his adamantium claws.

God of War: Laufey
In one of the biggest surprises of the event, Santa Monica Studio revealed a brand-new 20-minute look at God of War Laufey. This action-adventure spin-off shifts the focus away from Kratos and puts players in control of his late wife, Faye (played by Deborah Ann Woll).
Set in a cross-cultural afterlife known as the Everywhen, Faye utilizes a highly kinetic, magic-infused combat system to battle foreign deities like Sekhmet and Begtse. The story is expected to explore Faye’s journey as a Jötunheim warrior, and the trailer hinted at unique allies supporting her throughout her path. No confirmed release date has been announced yet.
