PlayStation has announced the return of its State of Play showcase, with the latest iteration arriving very shortly, on 24 September 2025 (ET/PT). It follows on from the recent 007: First Light-starring State of Play, which revealed more about this upcoming adaptation from IO Interactive.

Per PlayStation, the latest showcase will be a 35-minute presentation all up, with at least five minutes of this being new gameplay for Saros, Housemarque’s upcoming sci-fi action game starring Rahul Kohli.

As previously revealed, this game is set ‘on the lost off-world colony of Carcosa during an ominous eclipse.’ You pay as Kohli’s Arjun Devraj, who is a ‘powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for.’ Based on the early description, it appears there’s roguelite elements here – you’ll be dying over and over, and face a ‘changed world’ each time. The mystery of Devraj’s conundrum will be explored as the world of Saros unfolds.

In addition to revealing more about this game, PlayStation has promised ‘new looks at anticipated third-party and indie titles.’ We expect this will be a fairly significant State of Play, given the description, likely including updates on announced games, and some new ones.

Early speculation is that Marvel’s Wolverine, the next title from Insomniac Games, might make an appearance of sorts – and given there’ll be news from ‘some’ PlayStation Studios teams, it’s a possibility. There’s also been whispers of Insomniac’s Venom, and other potential reveals.

At this stage, it’s best not to listen too closely to this speculation. Stay patient, hope for the best, and keep an open mind about everything that could be announced.

Bone Assembly’s The Dungeon Experience has officially been picked up for publishing by Devolver Digital, becoming the latest Australian-made game to join the company’s ever-evolving roster. For those unfamiliar, it’s certainly a game worth keeping an eye on, particularly as it’s now set to launch sometime in 2026.

In The Dungeon Experience, you face off with a ‘low-level’ mudcrab who wants to make you rich. Of course, what the game is really about is traipsing through a unique escape room-like cardboard dungeon built by the crab, and populated by all sorts of weird, wonderful beings.

Here’s the official description, per Bone Assembly: ‘Bone Assembly and Devolver Digital are vibrating with pride to announce The Dungeon Experience, a comedy first-person adventure about a low-level mudcrab chasing his dream of helping you experience the true bliss of Financial Freedom*. This lowly crab started life as a humble crustacean scraping by at the bottom of the food chain, a low-level RPG monster, but now – thanks to determination, optimism, and a modest investment in crab-scented essential oil candles – he’s the proud owner of a fully featured, highly desirable dungeon, now confirmed to have asbestos all removed’
