Exciting Games and Surprises Await at the PlayStation Event

Sony’s upcoming State of Play will run for more than an hour on Thursday, February 12. It promises to showcase a mix of new visuals and gameplay from both independent creators and the company’s own studios. The schedule seems to lean heavily on upcoming releases for the PS5, with a handful of titles expected to get fresh reveals or updates. One headline expectation is that the studio behind Marvel’s Wolverine will not show new footage until spring, as announced on their social media. Last time Sony highlighted the game was in September 2025, so a late spring reveal could keep fans on their toes. Alongside Wolverine, the stream might feature other X‑Men characters like Daredevil or a tentative release date for the next Wolverine adventure. Sony’s own Bungie title, Marathon, is set to launch on March 5. Despite a rocky start and earlier controversies, the company hopes this presentation will convince players to dive into its new world. A few weeks ahead of launch, Housemarque’s sequel to Returnal, Saros, may also be highlighted, with a release date of April 30.The event will likely bring its own exclusives. Arc System Works’ new superhero fighter, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, could receive official confirmation after a recent leak that exposed key details. Meanwhile, S‑Game’s Phantom Blade Zero—an action RPG rooted in wuxia lore—might get another gameplay glimpse before its September 9 debut. Guerrilla Games could show early footage of Horizon Hunters Gathering, a cooperative spin‑off that will start playtesting soon. From the indie scene, several titles have been announced for the PS5. Hades 2 will get a console version, and other projects such as Mixtape, Mouse P. I. For Hire, and the Japanese convenience store sim INKONBINI: One Store could be discussed. The event may also cover games from other studios, like the upcoming hitman‑style 007 First Light and Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, both slated for May. Beyond these, Sony’s studios may surprise with updates on projects that have been quiet, such as Naughty Dog’s Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet or potential new entries from Media Molecule and Team Asobi. Even though a GTA 6 reveal is unlikely, other titles like Resident Evil Requiem or Silent Hill projects could receive brief mentions. Overall, the State of Play promises a wide variety of content—from high‑profile exclusives to indie gems—giving fans plenty to discuss and anticipate for the coming months.
