Just ahead of the launch of Ghost of Yōtei on the PS5 next week, Sony is holding its latest State of Play showcase to detail what’s coming next for the platform.
One thing that we know will make an appearance for sure is Saros, the latest dark sci-fi game from Returnal studio Housemarque. Aside from that, though, it’s not really clear what to expect from the event. Sony says it will span around 35 minutes and include “new looks at anticipated third-party and indie titles, plus updates from some of our teams at PlayStation Studios.”
The most recent State of Play in June featured a number of welcome surprises — including 007 First Light and the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster — so something similar could happen here. Maybe we’ll finally see some of Insomniac’s Wolverine?
Whatever Sony does show when the stream kicks off on September 24th at 2PM PT / 5PM ET, you can keep up with all the most important developments right here.
Nioh 3 is near.
The action RPG finally has a launch date, and will be available early next year on February 6th. In the meantime, there’s a very dramatic new trailer.
Haunting PS5 shooter Saros launches in March
Saros, the next game from Returnal developer Housemarque, launches for PS5 on March 20th, 2026, Sony announced during its September State of Play presentation on Wednesday.
Based on a gameplay trailer shown during the event, it looks like Saros takes a lot of cues from Returnal, with futuristic weapons, lots of bullets and rings filling the screen, and mysterious environments that you’ll have to navigate. You’ll also get a new shield that lets you run into projectiles that you can absorb as energy and then throw back toward your enemies.
And now for something old.
Deux Ex turns 25 this year, which makes it a good time to announce a remaster. The updated version of the cyberpunk classic launches in early 2026.

One of the first reveals of the night was Zero Parade: For Dead Spies, “a narrative-first espionage RPG steeped in paranoia, surrealism, and a struggle for redemption.” It’s due out next year.
The next PlayStation show starts soon.
Sony’s State of Play broadcast kicks off at 5PM ET, and it will be more than 35 minutes long. About five minutes of the show will be dedicated to gameplay for Saros, the next game from Returnal developer Housemarque.
PlayStation’s State of Play returns tomorrow.

The State of Play kicks off at 2PM PT / 5PM ET / 10PM UK tomorrow, and will also include at least five minutes of Saros gameplay. You can tune in on YouTube or Twitch.
