PlayStation 5 2026 lineup features new Wolverine game, God of War Laufey and top releases

Sony's June 2026 State of Play presented a solid slate of upcoming PlayStation 5 titles. Insomniac showcased a new Marvel‑licensed action game starring Wolverine, positioning it as a flagship exclusive for the fall. Santa Monica Studio surprised viewers with the next main‑line entry, God of War Laufey, shifting focus from Kratos to a new protagonist. The event also locked in September release dates for four third‑party games—Control Resonant (24 Sept), Dune: Awakening (22 Sept), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (25 Sept) and Silent Hill: Townfall (24 Sept)—while Phantom Blade Zero was slated for 29 Oct. Additional horror titles, including an Until Dawn sequel, received updated footage and a multiplayer tease.

A concurrent roundup of the best PS5 games from the first half of 2026 highlighted several stand‑outs. Nioh 3 built on its predecessors with deeper combat and refined design. Saros impressed with its blend of intense action and exploratory storytelling. Capcom’s Pragmata earned praise for its third‑person shooter mechanics and emotional tone. IO Interactive’s 007 First Light delivered a charismatic, if familiar, James Bond experience, and Resident Evil Requiem celebrated the franchise’s horror roots with a balanced mix of survival tension and combat spectacle.
