PlayStation State of Play 2025 Delivers Surprises, Legends, and Bold New Worlds
Alright, let’s talk about the PlayStation State of Play 2025 — and wow, what a ride that was. Sony kicked off this summer's gaming festivities with a 50-minute showcase that packed in big names, long-awaited updates, and some fresh surprises that have the entire gaming community buzzing. If you missed it, don’t worry — I’ve got the whole rundown like you were sitting there on the couch with me.
First off, the major headline: Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls . This one absolutely stole the spotlight. Developed by Arc System Works — yeah, the same folks behind Guilty Gear — this new Marvel fighter is bringing 4v4 tag-team battles to PS5 and PC in 2026. Imagine squaring off with Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and more in high-octane battles, all in that beautiful anime-meets-comic-book style. Plus, Sony even unveiled a new fight stick for it, codenamed Project Defiant . If you’re into fighters, this is your moment.
And then — finally — Pragmata resurfaced. After being teased all the way back in 2020, Capcom has confirmed it’s coming in 2026. This sci-fi action game has been sitting in vaporware territory for too long, but now it’s real, it’s happening, and it looks intense.
Fans of classic strategy RPGs rejoiced too. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is back — enhanced, fully voiced, and polished up for a new generation. It’s launching September 30, and you can choose between the new remastered version or the original gameplay style with quality-of-life improvements. Square Enix really knows how to feed the nostalgia.

Speaking of returns, Nioh 3 is on the way in early 2026, and yes — there’s a demo available right now . Team Ninja is back with more brutal action, and the combat already looks as polished and punishing as ever. Konami also came in strong this year, showcasing Silent Hill f (out Sept 25), Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (out Aug 28), and even a Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection that dives deep into the franchise’s early roots.
Puzzle fans? You weren’t left out either. Lumines Arise was announced for PS5 and PSVR 2. From the creators of Rez and Tetris Effect , this one’s bringing music, rhythm, and puzzle-solving bliss later this fall.
There were so many other reveals too: Sea of Remnants , a pirate-themed RPG; Tides of Tomorrow , a visually stunning multiplayer adventure; Hirogami , a paper-folding action game coming Sept 3; and the long-awaited Baby Steps walking simulator, finally dropping Sept 8.
And how could I not mention Romeo is a Dead Man — a blood-soaked, stylish action game from Suda51 that feels like Devil May Cry met No More Heroes at a punk rock bar. It’s wild, weird, and landing in 2026.
Bottom line — State of Play 2025 was one of the most satisfying showcases in recent memory. It balanced nostalgia with innovation, gave us big reveals, and built solid hype for what’s ahead. Whether you're a fighter fanatic, a horror lover, or just looking for the next indie gem to obsess over, PlayStation delivered. And with Summer Game Fest and Xbox’s showcase right around the corner, we’re just getting started. Buckle up, it’s a great time to be a gamer.
