PlayStation State Of Play February 2026 Recap
Sony’s first major broadcast of the year has wrapped, and the PlayStation State of Play February 2026 delivered a packed showcase of upcoming PS5 titles, new release dates, surprise revivals, and fresh gameplay looks.
The presentation focused squarely on PlayStation 5’s 2026 pipeline, with a mixture of first-party updates, major third-party partnerships, and indie standouts. Here is a complete breakdown of everything announced.
God of War Trilogy Remake and Sons of Sparta
Santa Monica Studio confirmed that the original God of War trilogy is officially being remade. While detailed gameplay footage of the remakes has yet to be shared, the announcement signals a full-scale revival of Kratos’ Greek saga for modern hardware.
In a surprise follow-up, the studio also revealed and launched God of War: Sons of Sparta, a 2D action platformer set in the same mythological era. The title is available now on PS5, offering a side-scrolling reinterpretation of the franchise’s brutal combat roots.
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls
Arc System Works’ anime-style fighter MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls received a substantial update, including a release date. The game is set to launch on August 6, with pre-orders opening on February 19.
The X-Men team was officially revealed as part of the roster, expanding the already high-profile Marvel lineup. The continued character rollouts suggest a steady cadence leading up to release, as Arc System Works leans into its stylised, high-impact interpretation of Marvel’s heroes and villains.
Saros
Housemarque’s Saros returned with a deeper gameplay showcase at State of Play, offering a clearer look at its systems and combat flow. The studio emphasised player progression and escalating challenges within its science fiction setting.
Saros will launch exclusively on PS5 on April 30. With each new showing, the title appears positioned as one of the platform’s major first-half releases.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends
Sucker Punch confirmed that Legends, the multiplayer co op mode for Ghost of Yōtei, will arrive as a free update on March 10.
The update expands the studio’s latest PS5 exclusive beyond its single-player focus, reinforcing PlayStation’s continued interest in post-launch multiplayer support for its flagship titles.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach on PC
As expected, Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will expand beyond PS5, launching on PC on March 19 as revealed on State of Play.
The move continues Sony’s strategy of bringing select first-party titles to PC after their console debut, broadening the reach of one of 2026’s most anticipated narrative-driven releases.
Marathon
Bungie’s team-based extraction shooter, Marathon, remains on track for its March 6 launch. Ahead of release, a Server Slam will be open to all players from February 27 through March 3.
The limited-time event is positioned as both a stress test and a final hands-on preview, giving players early access before the full rollout.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora
Ember Lab officially revealed Kena: Scars of Kosmora at State of Play, the sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits. The new chapter continues the studio’s story-driven action-adventure approach, with expanded scope and fresh environments teased in its debut.

Silent Hill: Townfall introduces a new town, a first-person perspective, and a portable CRT device for puzzle-solving and narrative discovery.

007 First Light
IO Interactive debuted a brand new story trailer for 007 First Light at State of Play, offering a closer look at its original take on the early days of James Bond. Set partly in Iceland, the trailer shows Bond’s exploits drawing the attention of MI6 as the agency considers him for its newly revived 00 programme.
The narrative places Bond alongside John Greenway, a former 00 agent now serving as a training instructor. Together, they must confront 009, a rogue British operative who has gone off the grid.
Beast of Reincarnation
Beast of Reincarnation launches on August 4 for PS5, bringing a one-person, one-dog action RPG to a far-future Japan scarred by catastrophe.
Players control Emma, a blight-corrupted outcast, alongside her companion Koo, a malefactor feared by society.

The dual character system appears central to both combat rhythm and narrative progression, offering a tactical layer beneath its action foundation.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
Castlevania returns to PS5 this year with Belmont’s Curse, a new 2D action exploration entry developed collaboratively by Konami, Evil Empire, and Motion Twin.

Konami revealed Rev.Noir at State of Play as well, a new JRPG set in a world plagued by a phenomenon known as lightfall, which instantly kills those it touches.
The story follows a boy who has lost his memory and a mysterious girl as they attempt to stop the catastrophe. The initial trailer suggests a blend of melancholic atmosphere and high-stakes narrative.
