State of Play: 'Marvel's 'Wolverine,' 'God of War Laufey' & More

It’s Summer Game Fest week, and Sony is kicking things off with a massive State of Play presentation.

We all knew that Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine was going to be a part of the presentation, and Sony wasted no time showcasing the brutal action we can expect when taking control of Logan.

At first glance, we see Logan in his iconic yellow suit, slicing and dicing members of the Reavers, and he even teams up with Jean Grey as he is on the hunt for mutants in a race against the clock.

Here is a description of the footage from Aaron Jason Espinoza, senior community manager at Insomniac Games, via the PlayStation Blog:

To set up our Extended Gameplay Trailer, Logan is tailing a group of mutants that have been hunted and captured by the Reavers, a guns-for-hire cybernetic militia. The Reavers have plans to deliver the mutants to their client, Bolivar Trask – a billionaire industrialist driven by a fanatical belief in human superiority. We also introduce another major player in Logan’s journey: Jean Grey, a powerful telekinetic and emergent leader of the captured mutants.

The situation is dire, and help is limited. Mutants live in the shadows fearful of those hunting them, while the rest of society lives unaware of their existence. The only ones potentially capable of protecting their own is Team X, a last-stand mutant task force facing its darkest hour, which Logan rejoins after leaving three years prior. For the mutants, the fight for survival is theirs alone.

In his search for the mutants, Logan crosses paths with unsuspecting Reavers. They’re armed to the teeth with advanced technology, equipped with lethal weapons and cybernetic implants. They’re ready for a fight… but so is Wolverine. He can stalk enemies, ambush from above, or shred through them with fast, fluid, and brutal claw attacks.

Marvel’s Wolverine arrives on the PS5 and PS5 Pro console on September 15. Pre-orders are now live.

But that wasn’t the only announcement; there are plenty more to dive into, including MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Ace Combat 8: Wings of the Veil, God of War Laufey, a new installment in the God of War franchise, and more.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls

A fourth team, the Knights of Doom, was announced for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the fast-paced 4v4 fighting game featuring your favorite Marvel heroes and villains.

Per the PlayStation Blog:

Led by Doctor Doom (voiced by SungWon Cho), Knights of Doom bring three powerful newcomers to the MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls roster: Magneto (voiced by James Arnold Taylor), Green Goblin (voiced by Steve Blum), and Carnage (voiced by Kellen Goff). This fearsome team of villains may have taken some fans by surprise.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches on PS5 and PC on August 6th, 2026!

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis

We get a new look at Lara Croft in the reimagining of the first game in the iconic franchise, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis.

A description of the game, per a press release, reads:

In Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, players will step into the boots of Lara Croft as she embarks on a treacherous globe-trotting quest to discover the lost secrets of Atlantis, with jaw-dropping visuals, modernized gameplay, and new surprises that honor the spirit of the original game. Immersive environments, familiar puzzles redefined with new mechanics, and unforgettable moments – like the legendary battle against the T-Rex – are transformed as epic gameplay encounters on a cinematic scale. This is the legendary adventure fans remember, reimagined in ways that weren’t possible before, and with new surprises.

In Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, players will:

• Reveal the Mysteries of the Past: The classic story has been expanded with deeper connections that bridge Lara Croft’s defining adventure to her future.
• Discover Extraordinary and Dangerous Worlds Lost to Time: Explore treacherous landscapes filled with ancient artifacts and hidden secrets, from the jungles of Peru to the crumbling ruins of Greece, the deserts of Egypt, and a mysterious island shrouded in myth.
• Skillfully Traverse Deadly Environments: Use Lara’s strength, agility, and grappling hook to climb, leap, and swing across perilous terrain.
• Solve Ingenious Ancient Contraptions: Manipulate hidden mechanisms and the environment to unseal secrets locked away for centuries. Every solution combines knowledge you’ve uncovered and clever thinking.
• Face Lethal Predators: Armed with Lara’s signature dual pistols and other unlockable weapons, use acrobatic abilities to unleash devastating attacks against savage wildlife, mercenaries, and mythological creatures.

God of War Laufey

We knew Cory Barlog was cooking something up at Santa Monica Studios, and now we know it’s another new entry in the God of War franchise, God of War Laufey.

In the game, players control Laufey (Faye), the warrior and wife of Kratos, whom we learned died in 2018’s God of War.

Instead of resting in peace, Laufey is fighting to help keep the ones she loves safe while in the afterlife for gods.

Per the PlayStation Blog:

Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey (Faye), warrior and wife to Kratos, a new adventure is just beginning. Awakening unexpectedly in a strange land after her funeral, Faye discovers the plans she put in place to protect Kratos and Atreus are now at risk.

To save the ones she loves, Faye must fight through the afterlife of the gods — the Everywhen — where ruthless gods from across mythology vie for power in a land overflowing with dangerous magic.

This game looks absolutely insane and is currently in development.

Until Dawn 2

Everyone can live or die in Until Dawn 2.

A description for the game on the PlayStation Blog reads:

Until Dawn 2 is a standalone experience, featuring a brand new cast, a whole new world to explore, and true to form, a modern horror experience packed with intrigue, emotion, twists, and the kind of choices that will keep you up at night. Your decisions still shape the story: who falls victim, and who survives Until Dawn…

Our cast this time is a crew of ghost hunters, the faces behind the wildly popular paranormal channel, Dead True.. Only, well… they’ve never actually seen anything supernatural. The scares they are known for are, let’s say, a little staged. But all that changes when for the very first time, they come face-to-face with real horrors and must start living up to their reputation to survive until dawn.

Until Dawn 2 comes to PlayStation 5 consoles in 2027.

ILL

ILL is Team Clout’s highly anticipated debut title, a realistic first-person action survival horror game focused on body horror, cinematic immersion, environmental storytelling, and cutting-edge physics-based gameplay. The game is also the first title developed through the Mundfish Powerhouse initiative. ILL surpassed 1 million wishlists earlier this year.

Something sinister has awakened inside a massive research fort. As horrific Aberrations spread throughout the complex, the protagonist must fight through grotesque monstrosities and unravel the truth behind the catastrophe in a desperate attempt to save what matters most.

Balancing survival and action mechanics, ILL remains a pure, unforgiving horror experience where every threat is deadly, and resources are critically scarce. To survive, players must master tactical combat assessment—while a diverse arsenal of firearms is available, ammunition is a luxury, forcing them to adapt to different types of Aberrations and rely heavily on improvised melee combat. Players can utilize objects around them to gain the upper hand, hurl bricks to stun enemies, and rip pipes that will degrade with use straight from the walls.

ILL launches in 2027.
