A prolonged, 60-plus minutes Sony State of Play is heading our approach this Thursday, February 12, and guarantees new seems at “third-party and indie video games headed to PS5, together with the most recent from groups at PlayStation Studios.” So, what upcoming video games can we count on to see contemporary reveals for and gameplay of? Nicely, right here’s what we predict is probably going to present up, in addition to just a few out-there guesses.
Exclusives
Seeing because it’s shaping up to be PlayStation’s greatest sport of 2026, you’d maybe have anticipated Wolverine to present up in Thursday’s stream. Nicely, a late spanner has been thrown into the works through Insomniac’s official X account, which claims that we gained’t be seeing any extra of its newest Marvel sport till “Spring 2026”. Final time I checked, February was in Winter, so possibly we’ll have to wait a little bit longer.
Spring 2026.

On the final State of Play, again in September 2025, Insomniac Video games gave us a primary have a look at Marvel’s Wolverine in motion. As one of Sony’s tentpole releases for this yr, it definitely wouldn’t be a shock to see some extra X-Males gameplay, in addition to maybe a launch date for Logan’s newest journey. Might we additionally catch a glimpse of Daredevil, who has been teased to be making an look, too?
PlayStation Studio’s first massive unique of the yr comes within the form of Marathon, Bungie’s extraction shooter, which will probably be wanting to emulate the success of final yr’s Arc Raiders. It’s been a bumpy street for the Future developer, corresponding to a plagiarism scandal and poor reception to its alpha, however this week’s State of Play will probably be one of the final probabilities for it to persuade gamers to hop into its world on March 5.
Later in Spring, we’ve got Saros, Housemarque’s follow-up to Returnal, which will probably be dropping on April 30. We’ve seen it pop up repeatedly on latest State of Play streams, and it will make good sense to see it right here, too, seeing as we’re solely 10 weeks away from launch.
One other PS5 console unique is Marvel Tokon: Preventing Souls, the upcoming superhero preventing sport from Responsible Gear Attempt developer Arc System Works. Due for launch this yr, the flashy-looking fighter suffered from an unlucky leak earlier this week that exposed just a few key particulars in regards to the sport, corresponding to the dimensions of its roster. It could not be a shock to see some of this data formally confirmed as truth on Thursday.
PS5 console unique Phantom Blade Zero is a hotly anticipated wuxia motion RPG coming from Chinese language developer S-Sport. The lead character known as Soul, so you may most likely guess what style this undertaking borrows closely from, too. It’s all wanting very spectacular, and possibly we’ll get yet one more have a look at it in motion this week forward of its September 9 launch.
Then there’s the freshly revealed Horizon Hunters Gathering, yet one more spin-off of the mechanical monster-hunting sequence created by Guerrilla Video games. A 3-player live-service co-op motion sport, it is getting its first playtest on the finish of this month, so, once more, it wouldn’t be a shock if we had been to get an extra have a look at some gameplay on this State of Play.
Unveiled at The Sport Awards, 4:Loop is a PS5 and PC unique that seems to infuse some roguelike parts with the co-op capturing of video games like Helldivers and Left 4 Useless. That makes extra sense when you think about that Left 4 Useless creator Mike Sales space is behind the undertaking, working with Dangerous Robotic Video games, the online game wing of movie director J.J. Abrams’ manufacturing firm. No launch date has been given but, however playtesting will begin quickly, with possibly a timing for that exposed at this State of Play.
One unique that we don’t suppose is coming this yr, however will surely love to see extra of, is Naughty Canine’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. The Final of Us and Uncharted studio’s upcoming sci-fi action-adventure has gone very quiet since its preliminary reveal again on the 2024 Sport Awards. So, is it time for a deeper look into what this new world has to supply? Let’s hope so.
As for what the opposite PlayStation Studios are up to, your guess is nearly as good as mine, however that doesn’t imply we shouldn’t count on one or two shock reveals or updates. This State of Play stream is over an hour lengthy, in spite of everything, so absolutely there’s one thing brand-new in there? Maybe a have a look at the subsequent undertaking from God of Battle developer Sony Santa Monica, or a glance into the world of Ghost of Yotei: Legends from Sucker Punch? Possibly the time is correct for a primary sighting of Gran Turismo 8, or an replace on the event of Haven Studios’ Fairgames — if we don’t see this one quickly, we’ll actually begin to get fearful about it. Then there are two of Sony’s most inventive studios, Media Molecule and Crew Asobi. We’ve definitely been ready rather a lot longer for a follow-up to Desires than we’ve got Astro Bot, however you by no means know what’s been happening behind these doorways…
Multiplatform
Will we see GTA 6 at this Sony State of Play? No. I’ll eat my complete fist if we do.
There are a good few different thrilling video games that we wouldn’t put physique components on the road for in phrases of their chance, although. Resident Evil Requiem is imminent, so now looks like nearly as good a time as any to present us one final slice of Leon Kennedy motion earlier than the large day on February 27. Sticking with survival horror, Konami has curiously introduced a Silent Hill stream will probably be happening simply two hours after the State of Play. Is that this a sign {that a} extra in-depth have a look at a brand new Silent Hill sport will probably be at that present, following its reveal simply minutes prior as half of PlayStation’s stream? Maybe this week is after we’ll see Bloober Crew’s remake of the unique within the sequence, or – extra probably – our first correct have a look at the Annapurna-published Silent Hill: Townfall, which was first introduced in 2022 and has been MIA since.
Again at Capcom briefly, and you’ll probably count on to see one thing from one of, if not each, Pragmata and Onimusha: Means of the Sword. Closing Fantasy 7 remake director, Naoki Hamaguchi, just lately teased that Sq. Enix will “share extra updates than ever earlier than” in regards to the undertaking this yr. Does that imply a possible reveal of the third half within the modernised RPG trilogy will occur at this State of Play? Or might we get an Intergrade-style bridging chapter as DLC for Closing Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
However, earlier than we get too sidetracked, let’s stick to video games nearer on the horizon, corresponding to Hitman developer IO Interactive’s 007 First Gentle, and Lego Batman: Legacy of the Darkish Knight from Warner Bros. Video games. Each are coming this Could, and their respective builders might share additional information on Thursday. Earlier than these, although, March will carry with it Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss’ bold open-world action-adventure that appears set to push the PS5 to its limits. No stranger to a trailer, we will probably count on it to flip up right here, too.
As for later within the yr, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra just lately shifted out of its unique window of early 2026 to “past early 2026”, so your guess is nearly as good as mine as to after we’ll be enjoying Amy Hennig’s Captain America and Black Panther in World Battle 2 story. Legendary PlayStation hero Lara Croft will probably be returning in a “reimagining” of her unique sport, titled Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and Finnish developer Treatment is again with one other entry in its related universe, Management: Resonant. Additionally introduced at The Sport Awards was the pleasantly stunning Star Wars: Galactic Racer from the makers of Burnout and Want For Velocity that’s scheduled to drop in 2026. All of these are potentialities.
As for indies, outdoors of the announcement of a PS5 model of Hades 2, there are just a few destined for PlayStation that I’d personally love to see extra of on Thursday. Particularly, Beethoven & Dinosaur’s coming of age story Mixtape, old-school cartoon-inspired shooter Mouse P.I. For Rent, and Japanese comfort retailer sim inKONBINI: One Retailer. Many Tales.
