The Biggest Reveals from PlayStation’s State of Play!
PlayStation’s latest State of Play wasn’t just a trailer drop it was a mic drop. From an anime-fuelled Marvel brawler to the long-awaited return of Silent Hill, this showcase delivered banger after banger. Whether you're a nostalgic tactics-head or just here for hot spies and cooler swords, here are the six announcements that had us screaming at the screen.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls – Anime Meets Avengers
Marvel games can be hit or miss, but when Arc System Works (the studio behind Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ) steps in? It’s game over, in the best way. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls fuses buttery-smooth anime visuals with iconic Marvel characters, promising high-octane, competitive chaos. A love letter to fans of Marvel vs Capcom and modern fighting games, this is the one that could revive the genre’s pop culture clout.
Pragmata – Lunar Loneliness, Mechs, and Mystery
After years of silence and a string of delays, Pragmata is finally back, and it’s heading to PS5 in 2026. Capcom’s strange and stunning sci-fi adventure made a quiet reappearance at State of play with a new trailer showing off fresh gameplay and updated visuals. Set on a desolate moon base, the story follows Hugh, a grizzled mech-suit soldier, and Diana, a mysterious young girl with unexplained powers. Together, they must outwit a rogue lunar station AI to find their way back to Earth. Equal parts emotional and eerie, Pragmata looks like it’s going to be worth the wait.
Silent Hill f – Floral Horror and Final Dread
Set in 1960s Japan and drenched in hallucinogenic body horror, Silent Hill f isn’t just back, it’s blooming with dread. The latest trailer is haunting, cryptic, and full of crimson-petaled terror. If Silent Hill 2 is the emotional gut punch, f looks like the psychological slow burn, and it’s finally coming later this year.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater – A Legendary Remake
The jungle never looked so good. The remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, now titled Metal Gear Solid Delta, showed off an intense new trailer, reminding us why Snake is one of the greatest protagonists in gaming history. It’s cinematic, crunchy, and yes, Snake vs Monkey is back. The old-school chaos we missed is reborn with a new-gen polish.
Nioh 3 – Surprise Demo Drop
Team Ninja knows how to make you sweat, and Nioh 3 is here to keep your thumbs blistered. The latest entry in the brutally satisfying action-RPG series dropped a surprise playable demo during the showcase. Expect fast, punishing combat, mythic monsters, and gorgeous Japanese landscapes, and try not to rage-quit before the boss.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles – Tactical Nostalgia Overload
It’s real. It’s beautiful. And it’s coming in two versions. Final Fantasy Tactics is back with a remastered dual release: one that’s faithful to the classic grid-based chaos we remember, and one that updates the art and UI for modern players. Whether you were there for Ramza’s rebellion or just love a good strategy game, this is pure fan service in the best way.
From deep strategy to stylish brawling and full-blown horror, this State of Play felt like a love letter to every corner of the PlayStation fanbase. Even if you’re still emotionally recovering from that Silent Hill f trailer (same), one thing’s clear: the second half of 2025 is stacked.
