Another State of Play is live, and as always, there’s a lot of game announcements to talk about.
Whether you’re watching it live and can’t keep up with everything that’s new or are just catching up, we’ve got you covered with a full rundown of everything announced during today’s showcase.
From long-awaited sequels to surprise reveals, Sony’s bound to bring a mix of fan favorites, fresh faces, and gameplay deep-dives that are sure to get us talking. We’ll be updating this hub live as each announcement drops, so bookmark this page and check back often.
Lumines Arise
From the creators of Tetris Effect, the critically acclaimed, hypnotic puzzle game that turned dropping blocks into an emotional journey, comes something brand new: Lumines Arise.
Revealed for the first time during the State of Play, it’s more than just your “typical puzzle game stuff,” despite what the devs cheekily said.
The showcase gave us a first look at its visuals, rhythm-based gameplay, and that same stylish, immersive vibe we’ve come to expect from Enhance Games. If you loved Tetris Effect, Lumines Arise looks like it’s going to scratch a similar itch while bringing its own fresh energy.
Even better, a playable demo is on the way this summer, so you won’t have to wait long to get your hands on it. The full game is set to drop this fall.
Here’s the trailer:
Pragmata
After years of radio silence, Pragmata finally resurfaced during today’s State of Play and yep, it’s as wild and mysterious as ever.
First revealed way back in 2020, Capcom’s sci-fi action-adventure game has been through multiple delays and total reworks. But now we’ve got a fresh trailer, and it’s packed with action.
The blonde girl from the original teaser is officially named Diana, and she’s still paired up with the futuristic, astronaut-like guy. This time she’s riding on his back while they blast through robots, mechs, and drones. There’s shooting, hacking, and some giant mechanical bosses, all set against a futuristic, lunar backdrop.
Capcom now says it’s launching in 2026, so we’ll be waiting a bit longer.
Here’s the trailer:
Romeo is a Dead Man
From the mind of SUDA51, the creator of Lollipop Chainsaw, comes Romeo is a Dead Man. This is a fast, ultra-violent sci-fi hack-and-slash revealed during today’s showcase.
It stars a katana and gun-wielding antihero tearing through some of the weirdest, gnarliest zombies you’ve ever seen. The combat looks sharp, stylish, and chaotic, with plenty of blood, speed, and over-the-top flair. Oh, and his jacket talks, just because it can.
The release window? “2026… maybe.”
Here’s the trailer:
Silent Hill f
Silent Hill f is the first brand-new mainline entry in the series in over a decade, and it finally showed up with a haunting new trailer.
Set in 1960s Japan, the game follows teenage girls facing unspeakable horrors in a fog-covered mountain town. The showcase gave us a brutal glimpse of the nightmare: paralyzed schoolgirls twisted like scarecrows, grotesque creatures, and tense, crowbar-swinging survival.
It’s a surreal, gore-soaked take on Silent Hill’s signature psychological horror. After years of waiting, we finally have a release date too: September 25, 2025.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement was officially revealed during today’s State of Play.
From what we saw in the trailer, it’s sticking with the 2.5D sidescrolling style fans loved in Ritual of the Night, but with a slicker, more cinematic touch.
The medieval setting looks moody and dramatic, with fully voiced characters and some pretty eye-catching cutscenes. While we didn’t get much in terms of story or gameplay deep-dives, the tone feels very on-brand for the series, dark, stylish, and heavy on atmosphere. It’s set to release sometime in 2026.
Here’s the trailer:
Digimon Story: Time Stranger
Digimon Story: Time Stranger popped back up during today’s State of Play with a brand-new trailer, and this one gave us a deeper look at the story and characters.
We got glimpses of key human characters, their partner Digimon, and more of the turn-based battles that define the series. The trailer also teased new twists in the story, with players traveling between the Digital World and human world to stop a looming collapse threatening both.
It’s looking like a major step forward for the series, with over 450 Digimon and a revamped growth system. Best of all, we finally have a release date: Time Stranger launches October 3, 2025.
Here’s the trailer:
Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles finally made its grand return at today’s State of Play, confirming the long-rumored remake is real and it looks fantastic.
Launching September 30, 2025, for PS5 and PS4, this package includes both an enhanced version with modern visuals, full voice acting, and quality-of-life tweaks, and a classic version that sticks to the original 1997 style with the War of the Lions translation.
Here’s the trailer:
Baby Steps
Baby Steps stumbled back into the spotlight during today’s State of Play with a new trailer, and it’s somehow looking even weirder than before.
From the minds behind Getting Over It and Ape Out, this physics-based walking adventure stars Nate, a guy whose only skill is walking… very carefully.
The latest footage showed off misty mountains, strange terrain, and a dynamic soundtrack that reacts to your movement. It’s silly, chill, and weirdly mesmerizing. Baby Steps launches September 8.
Here’s the trailer:
Hirogami
Hirogami returned during the showcase with a gorgeous new trailer, and it’s still one of the most visually unique platformers on the horizon.
Set in a hand-folded origami world, you play as Hiro, a folding master out to stop a digital corruption called the Blight.
The trailer showed off fluid movement, creative transformations like a leaping frog and rolling armadillo, and some emotional story beats as Hiro rescues allies and restores balance to his world.
Hirogami launches September 3, 2025. Here’s the trailer:
Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots
Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots returns on September 5, 2025, for PS5, Switch, and PC.

The game features bright, cartoonish visuals and a variety of quirky characters and courses.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a 2D action platformer coming July 31, 2025.
Developed by The Game Kitchen (known for Blasphemous) and published by Dotemu with support from Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja, it’s a loving return to Ninja Gaiden’s classic roots with modern twists. You play as two ninjas, Kenji and Kumori, who team up with a unique fusion mechanic to fight a demonic invasion after Ryu Hayabusa leaves the village.
Here’s the trailer:
Cairn
Cairn is an upcoming survival climbing adventure from The Game Bakers, launching November 5, 2025.
You play as Aava, a mountaineer aiming to summit the dangerous Mount Kami, controlling each limb manually to climb, place pitons, and manage resources like hunger and stamina, all without a traditional HUD. The trailer shows handcrafted rock faces, no set routes, and multiple climbing styles, which makes every ascent feel unique.
Here’s the trailer:
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection will release later in 2025 for PS5 and PS4.

The collection preserves the classic gameplay while modernizing performance.
Here’s the trailer:
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

New features include a third-person camera and the return of the “Snake vs Monkey” minigame. The June 2025 State of Play showcased an action-packed trailer with humor and refined stealth gameplay.

Nioh 3
Nioh 3 just got officially announced at Sony’s State of Play on June 4, 2025, and it’s coming out early next year on PS5. They’re moving away from the usual linear levels to more open fields so you can actually explore a lot more, kinda like those open-world RPGs you’ve been seeing everywhere.
Also, you can switch between Ninja and Samurai fighting styles now. Of course, it’s still super tough, expect those brutal boss fights and crazy Oni enemies.
They even dropped a demo the same day, so you can jump in and check out the new gameplay for yourself on the PlayStation Store.
It’s being made by Team Ninja like always, and since Nioh is known for its intense “Soulslike” action and cool Japanese fantasy vibes, this one looks like it’s gonna keep that going but freshen things up a bit.
Here’s the trailer:
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is coming later this year. It’s a full VR reboot of the classic stealth series, putting you right in the dark, creepy streets of “The City.”
