Sony’s State of Play event delivered several exciting announcements, with fans eagerly awaiting news on both new and returning franchises. While some highly anticipated titles, like a Bloodborne 60fps patch or a Marvel’s Wolverine update, were notably absent, the showcase still packed a punch. With new games, remasters, and expansions on the horizon, there was plenty to keep PlayStation enthusiasts thrilled.
One of the standout announcements was the confirmation of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater’s August 28 release date, following previous leaks. The trailer highlighted both the game’s updated graphics and a return to its beloved stealth-action gameplay, sparking excitement among long-time fans. Other notable updates included fresh looks at titles such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Monster Hunter: Wilds, and Borderlands 4, all of which are set to make waves in the gaming community.
While major studios like Insomniac and Santa Monica were missing from the presentation, Sony-owned Housemarque made its mark by unveiling Saros, a new roguelike bullet-hell shooter. The game, set to launch exclusively for PS5 in 2026, stars British actor Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, a character sent to the perilous off-world colony of Carcosa. The trailer teased a captivating narrative, along with familiar roguelike mechanics, as players will experience Devraj’s journey through a deadly loop.
In addition to Saros, another highly anticipated announcement was Days Gone Remastered. Originally released in 2019, the remaster will bring graphical updates and new content, available on both PS5 and PC starting April 25. This remaster will give fans of the game a chance to relive the story of Deacon St. John with enhanced visuals and gameplay improvements. With these reveals and more, Sony’s State of Play certainly set the stage for an exciting year ahead for PlayStation players.
