Sony set the stage for a massive State of Play September 2026 edition earlier this week, and here are all the big announcements.
The Sony State of Play for September 2026 was just announced this week to air today, and it was a big one. Nearly an hour of game trailers and PlayStation developments were shown off, including some fresh looks at rumoured titles (unfortunately, there was no Devil May Cry 6 from Capcom, but KONAMI did show off two new titles). Despite giving fresh looks at existing titles, the State of Play had quite a few surprises for fans as well, like the new action title, Rhapsody in Scarlet. Below, we’ve compiled a full list of every trailer and announcement from the State of Play September 2026 presentation.
Resident Evil
The Sony State of Play September 2026 showcase kicked off with a new trailer, but not from a game in the Resident Evil franchise; rather, a trailer for the upcoming Zach Cregger-helmed film set in the horrifying setting of the games. Resident Evil hits theatres on September 18.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Just ahead of launch, Sony State of Play unleashed one more trailer featuring Marvel’s Wolverine from Insomniac Games, and the trailer shows how fans can explore and how the iconic character moves when Wolverine launches this month, on September 15.
Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition
A new update was then shown for Ghost of Yotei, and fans looking to test their mettle can get ready for a new hardcore survival mode in single-player. Sucker Punch showed fans can play as several characters from Ghost of Yotei and Ghost of Tsushima’s protagonist, Jin, makes a return as playable character. It’ll be available starting on October 1.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance
The upcoming expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds, Monster Hunter Wilds,: Ascension, was then given the spotlight, and fans were treated to just how much will be added (new monsters to hunt, gear to loot, and areas to explore) when the sprawling expansion launches at a TBD date in 2027.
Metro 2039
The Metro franchise is known for its tense encounters, and Metro 2039 will continue to raise the bar for making fans anxious. The new gameplay on the PS5 Pro featured a tense showdown between the game’s protagonist and opposition, with a chirping Geiger counter in the background that likely doesnt need a battery replacement. Metro 2039 launches on February 4, 2027.
Maneater 2
Fans of sharks and how they can float around outside of water are eating well, because Maneater 2 has been officially announced. This is the follow up to the 2020 shark game, and it’s set to bring the blood-thirsty creature to a water park in 2027.
Crimson Desert: Charting the Unknown
Crimson Desert’s next big DLC was then shown off at the Sony State of Play. Charting the Unknown follows Kliff, Oongka, and Damiane as they set out to discover their purpose and shape their futures. It’s coming on October 15.
LEGO PlayStation
Sony then introduced the LEGO PlayStation build, showing off all of the dioramas that are underneath the surface when fans crack open the LEGO structure. A diorama of Ape Escape and Gran Turismo are neatly displayed underneath. This set (previously rumoured) comes with over 1,900 pieces, is real, and delivers a 1:1 replica.
Final Fantasy: Resonance
A pixel remake of the very first Final Fantasy for mobile, Final Fantasy: Resonance, was given a fresh trailer showcasing the title’s villains and who players can face off against. Players will even have to face Final Fantasy VII’s Sephiroth, and a demo is available today. Final Fantasy Resonance launches October 22.
GUNDAM Rogue Orbit
A new trailer was then deployed for the new Mobile Suit GUNDAM-based title revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026. This new trailer showcased more of the lateral movement that GUNDAM players can get behind the visor of, and you can really customize your mobile suit when it launches on March 5, 2027.
Hunter’s Moon
The Sony State of Play then pulled back the curtain on three new Indie developments, starting with a first-person Hunter’s Moon.
Uncanyon
Next up was Anna Purna Interactive’s next Indie development, Uncanyon. In Uncanyon, you will need to control the environment to proceed through the puzzling setting. It will release in 2027.
Keeper
A new trailer was then shown for Double Fine’s Keeper, which was previously only available on the XBOX platform, now, it’s available on PS5 today.
Rev.NoiR
Previously announced as part of the KONAMI PRESS START showcase supposed to take place later today, the mysteriously enigmatic Rev.NoiR then took the stage at Sony State of Play, giving fans a closer look at how combat will function when Rev.NoiR launches at a specified date in 2027.
Rhapsody in Scarlet
The next title shown is set in New York, with a ton of mystical enemies that populate the streets at night. This new action title sees fans embody a scarlet-clad heroine, as she rides massive monsters while fending off scores of enemies to chic Jazz music. KONAMI uncorked Rhapsody in Scarlet at the Sony State of Play, a new action title releasing in 2027.
PlayStation Plus Additions
The Sony State of Play revealed MycoPunk is coming to PlayStation Plus. The Classics catalogue is getting richer as well, as MegaMan X: Command Mission, Dino Crisis 2, and Ratchet & Clank (original) are coming to the Classics catalogue for subscribers.
SAROS: Zenith
A fresh Zenith update was then brought out at the Sony State of Play. SAROS: Zenith is being deployed by the SAROS team to provide new gameplay and accessibility for fans. A new mode called Eclipse Mode is a new trial mode designed to challenge players and take their skill to the limit. SAROS: Zenith also adds Overlord Rush, a brand new mode where you can take on the powerful Overlord enemies from the main game back-to-back and go for a high score. Fans can compete with players worldwide using leaderboards, in a throwback to the classic arcade style Housemarque is known for. The new Zenith update will be free of charge, but full of improvements.
Gran Turismo 7
Sony State of Play then announced a new Spec IV update for GRAN TURISMO 7, their flagship racing franchise, and showcased a wealth of new tracks including the Autumn Ring. That’s not all; Sony is also unleashing 12 new cars for fans to get behind the wheel of, and a brand new family mode for “super young” kids to be able to get in on the action. The Spec IV update will launch in two parts later this year, and it’ll add new circuits, new cars, Family Mode, and more to the game. The first part is out on October 3.
Until Dawn 2
The next cinematic trailer at Sony State of Play comes from the developers over at Firesprite, where every decision players make will shape how the unsettling story unfolds. Demon summoning, blood, unsettling scenarios, and terror await fans in Until Dawn 2. It’s coming to PS5 on January 28.
Grand Theft Auto VI Limited Edition DualSense Controller
A new DualSense Limited Edition Controller has been announced, and it features a GTA VI design in two colours.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation
A new gameplay breakdown for Final Fantasy VII Revelation was then released as the conclusion to the Sony State of Play, and it showed new gameplay from party members Red XIII, Cid, and Vincent Valentine. SQUARE ENIX finally gave fans a release date, and the conclusion is coming on April 8, 2027. Final Fantasy VII Revelation opens the whole world to players, and fans can literally jump over the railing of the Highwind to land on the surface of the planet.
The entirety of the planet is up to the player to explore to their heart’s content. Piko, the Chocobo, will help you traverse and explore the world, just like in Rebirth. Piko can also help in combat, and the bird mount evolves with your team.
While out exploring in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, fans can control whichever party member they want at a whim, and you can switch the controlled character whenever you want, similar to how the Tales series functions. Wutai was shown off, and players can deploy their parachute when jumping out of the Highwind in hopes they land exactly where they want. In the gameplay demo, the player satisfyingly landed in the town of Wutai’s centre square.
The Sony State of Play also uncorked new areas like Rocket Town, and each area you have visited on the overworld will be available to fast travel to, so you don’t have to sky dive from the Highwind all the time. Like in the other two Final Fantasy VII Remake titles, your party can also take on odd jobs around the world, and help citizens with slaying monsters. You can even run into familiar faces from the previous two Remake titles.
A new fast forward feature has been added to cutscenes, letting fans speed up cutscenes to play the game at their own pace (and to help fans who are playing a second time). On top of that, players are able to step behind the visor of specific party members to get their perspective on any given scenario, and see how each narrative beat changes based on the character in control.
Queen’s Blood returns from Rebirth, which sees Red XIII take on all challengers outside of the battlefield and with trading cards. Final Fantasy VII Revelation concludes the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy (which will be available for purchase as a bundle) and launches on April 8, 2027. On top of that, the title is available for pre-order (in trilogy and standalone formats), and it comes with an exclusive Magic: The Gathering reprint for Final Showdown, featuring a clash between Cloud and Sephiroth.
That wraps up the Sony State of Play September 2026 presentation. Fans looking for more information on any of these developments can head to the official Sony website.
