PlayStation State of Play June 2026 news roundup – quick links
Marvel’s Wolverine got a flashy new trailer
The first trailer of the PlayStation State of Play for June was for Marvel’s Wolverine, an upcoming single-player action-adventure from Insomniac Games. This trailer confirmed the plot for the game: Wolverine is in a race against time to save a group of mutants (including minor X-Men characters Leech and Callisto) at the mercy of the villainous Trask Industries – and he’s not the only one hunting for them.
New gameplay confirmed there are some stealth mechanics in the game. Wolverine will be able to stalk foes, then jump into battle, using his claws to rip and tear. The game is surprisingly bloody for a comic adaptation, but this does stay true to Wolverine’s roots as a berserker hero.
This gameplay segment also confirmed Jean Grey will make an appearance in the game, and that she’ll wield her telepathic powers to aid Wolverine in at least one battle. It also confirmed he’ll be fighting X-Men villains and anti-heroes Sabretooth, Omega Red, Mystique, Deadpool, the Sentinels, and more, during the game.
Marvel’s Wolverine is set to launch for PlayStation 5 on 15 September.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Spirits gets four new fighters
The next trailer was for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Spirits, an upcoming action-fighter starring Marvel heroes. This confirmed Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin and Carnage will be selectable for battles, to fight against already announced heroes like Spider-Man and Storm.
Green Goblin sounds a lot like Mark Hamill, for what it’s worth.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Spirits launches on 6 August.

The next trailer was for Rayman Legends Retold, a remake of Rayman Legends that’s been refreshed with a new 3D art style, new dragon-riding segments, and more. In this adventure, you’ll complete various platforming puzzles to save the Glade of Dreams.

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a major remake of 1996’s Tomb Raider, got a story trailer during the PlayStation State of Play.

The Lost Wild is a Jurassic Park-like stealth adventure
Next up, Annapurna Interactive and Great Ape Games popped in with a trailer for The Lost Wild, which is a first-person narrative adventure featuring towering, flying dinosaurs.

It’s not quite Jurassic Park, but it’s certainly giving those vibes.
The Lost Wild launches in 2027.

This was followed by a new trailer for Control: Resonant, narrated by former franchise protagonist Jesse Faden. Now, the action follows her brother, Dylan Faden, as he deals with some sort of temporal ‘resonance’ anomaly that’s broken up the universe. For the first time, we see Jesse in action – although this does still appear to be Dylan’s game.
Control: Resonant launches on 24 September.
A new trailer for Marathon and new PlayStation Plus arrivals
Bungie was called in next for a new Marathon trailer, with this revealing more of its multiplayer extraction skirmishes, and a new season called Nightfall.

God of War’s Laufey will star in a standalone spin-off adventure
The final major trailer for the PlayStation State of Play was for a new God of War spin-off from Santa Monica Studio, God of War: Laufey.
The trailer opened on Kratos and Atreus bidding farewell to Faye / Laufey, the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus. While seemingly a poignant scene, the trailer then revealed Laufey is now in another realm of gods and monsters – including many from classic mythology, and one from classic Dungeons & Dragons – and that she’ll lead the action of a brand new cinematic adventure. To survive through new trials, she’ll need to use her magic powers and strength against strange new enemies.
With the talented Deborah Ann Woll in the lead role, and Santa Monica Studio on development duty, we expect the game will be a lush time.
God of War: Laufey is coming to PlayStation 5 in future, and doesn’t currently have a firm release date.
