The latest Sony Playstation State of Play event delivered a packed lineup of new titles, remakes and surprise releases for PlayStation 5, signaling a major year ahead for Sony’s console.
During the hour-long livestream on February 12, 2026, Sony showcased announcements from first party and third party studios.
While fans expect updates on Marvel’s Wolverine, the title did not appear during the broadcast.

IGN reports that the pixel art style and action gameplay offers a fresh take on the franchise.
Sony also confirmed a full remake of the original God of War trilogy, scheduled for release on August 6, 2026.
Konami is also making a major return with Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, set for 2026 in celebration of the series’ 40th anniversary.
