Sony kicked off the annual summer game fest (ahead of actual, Geoff Keighley-approved Summer Game Fest) on Wednesday with a new State of Play showcase. The 50-minute presentation was full of updates on PlayStation 5 games like Pragmata and Silent Hill f, as well as surprise game announcements, including a new Marvel fighting game from Guilty Gear developer Arc System Works, a new Lumines, and a new Nioh.
If you couldn’t watch June’s State of Play showcase live, here’s a recap of all the game announcements, release dates, trailers, and other highlights from Sony’s stream.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
Arc System Works is making a Marvel fighting game, featuring Captain America, Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, and many more of Earth’s mightiest heroes. And it looks sick. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a 4v4 tag fighter coming to PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.
Final Fantasy Tactics returns
A new version of the strategy role-playing game classic returns as Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles. A new enhanced version adds “fully voiced dialogue, an optimized and updated UI, graphical improvements, and a number of other quality of life features,” while the classic version “unites the graphics and gameplay of the original game with the renowned War of the Lions translation and includes convenient features such as auto save.”
Rez and Tetris Effect developer Enhance Games announced a new entry in the Lumines puzzle game series called Lumines Arise. Like Tetris Effect, it looks like a music and emotion-infused take on a classic puzzle game. Lumines Arise is coming to PS5 and PSVR 2 in fall 2025.
