Everything Announced at PlayStation State of Play in June
On Wednesday, Sony's State of Play online event showcased plenty of trailers of upcoming games launching later in 2025 and into 2026. The preview, lasted less than an hour, showcased new and previously-announced PS5 titles as well as a new controller.
The last State of Play was in February and featured previews of games including Sonic Racing: Crossworlds, Lies of P: Overture and Saros, from the studio behind Returnal.
This time, Sony released a few teasers for many of its most-hyped games, including Ghost of Yōtei, Silent Hill F, Pragmata, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics and even more levels from last year's fan-favorite hit Astro Bot.
The trailer fest also included a reveal of a new official Sony fighting stick, which Sony has given the codename Project Defiant (a final name is forthcoming). While it doesn't have a release date or price, the company noted that it will have wired or "ultra-low latency" wireless connectivity, a durable design and a sling carry case included for easy transport.
How to watch Sony State of Play
State of Play streamed live on YouTube and Twitch starting at 2 p.m. PT (5 p.m. ET).
007 First Light
We got our first look at the new James Bond game from Amazon MGM Studios, 007 First Light. From the trailer, it's clear that the game will cover the origins of the super-spy set in what seems like the groovy 1960s. Bond is young, eager and getting his start at MI6, with missions that will take him around the world. 007 First Light is coming in 2026.
Ghost of Yotei
The spiritual sequel to Ghost of Tsushima had a trailer that showed more vibes than gameplay, pretty much just teeing up a gameplay reveal stream coming in July. Ah well.
Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls
Ignore that word salad title -- this is a heretofore unlooked-for Marvel fighting game from Arc System Works, famed for the Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series as well as Dragon Ball FighterZ. While a little more grounded than Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (where are my super jumps?), Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls will have 4v4 tag team battles, promising tight gameplay and fun new costumes for Marvel heroes. It's coming to PS5 and PC in 2026.
Lumines Arise
A new game in the Lumines universe is coming from the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected, and you can see the impact with synesthetic combination of music and visuals working together. Lumines Arise comes out Fall 2025 for PS5.
Pragmata
Our second big trailer for Pragmata, Capcom's next single-player adventure, shows even more of the relationship between the astrogear-wearing protagonist and the robot (looking like a small girl) with more capability than she seems. Pragmata comes out in 2026.
Romeo is a Dead Man
Romeo Is A Dead Man, a new game from Grasshopper Manufacture, was created by noted game developer Suda51 (Killer7). The trailer opened with a bloody protagonist origin transitioning into gameplay of him, newly reborn, slashing and shooting his way through hordes of dead demon-like things. This game -- and whatever panoply of styles and oddball features suitable for Suda51 -- is coming in 2026.
Silent Hill f
Another trailer for the next Silent Hill game set in 1960s Japan, this game interspersed cutscenes with some gameplay of main character Hinako, a schooolgirl, fighting horrific mannequin-like monsters in schools and shrines across a mist-covered town. The game comes out on September 25, 2025.
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement
The next game in the Bloodstained series of Castlevania-likes is another side-scrolling grim action game, which is coming out in 2026.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger
A new Digimon game from Bandai Namco, Digimon Story: Time Stranger is a story-rich RPG with a cel-shaded anime style set in a Japan invaded by monsters. The game comes out October 3, 2025.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
A remaster of the Final Fantasy Tactics classic, the game has two versions: the original game and the enhanced version with fully-voiced dialogue, improved graphics and more. Launching on PS5 and PS4 September 30, 2025.
Baby Steps
Described by one CNET colleague as "open world QWOP," Baby Steps looks to be a surrealist adventure of a character with one goal: make it to the bathroom. It looks like a zany idea brought to life in Garry's Mod (and I meant that as a compliment). Baby steps comes out September 8, 2025.
Hirogami
Hirogami is a beautiful-looking platformer starring protagonist Hiro, a master of origami folding themself into different forms to traverse the locations. It's got a unique animation look where your character moves "on the 2's", or with half the framerate to give it the stylized look of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse. Hirogami is out September 3, 2025.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
From the makers of the Blasphemous games comes the next side-scrolling action entry in the Ninja Gaiden series, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, featuring two heroes from rival clans who must team up to defeat evil. It's out July 31 on PS5 and PS4.
Cairn
The upcoming climbing game Cairn got another trailer ahead of its release later this year. In Cairn, you climb using natural handholds, but it's more than just the ascent -- main character Aava has her own personal journey to make in her ascents. Cairn comes out for PC and PS5 on November 5, 2025.
Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection
Over 20 different versions of the original Mortal Kombat games are coming to PS5 and PS4 later in 2025. Retro game restorers Digital Eclipse have bundled the first four Mortal Kombat games (as well as Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate) and more into the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, which will also let you challenge players online.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Another trailer for the remake of the third Metal Gear Solid game, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, showed off more bosses and, curiously, a crossover with Ape Escape (capture the ape and get a robo-ape mecha to deploy?). Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is out August 28, 2025.
Nioh 3
Nioh 3 is coming next year. The reveal trailer for the next entry in the samurai demon-killing game showed off its open world design and a new ninja playstyle to add to its armored samurai fighting. The game has a PS5 demo out today and will be released in early 2026.
Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow
A new game in the storied Thief franchise, Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, is a PSVR 2-only game that follows in its predecessors' medieval stealth adventure footsteps -- except this time, of course, players get a virtual reality hands-on perspective. Made by Vertigo Games, creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, Thief VR is coming later in 2025.
Tides of Tomorrow
An oceanborne post-apocalypse game that looks like Waterworld by way of the wildly vibrant Sunset Overdrive, Tides of Tomorrow has another feature that could distinguish it from the crowd: a multiplayer story. Though its exact processes are hard to tell from the trailer, players can follow their friend or favorite streamer to see how their choices shape the collective story of the game. Tides of Tomorrow comes out next year on February 24, 2026.
Sea of Remnants
Have you ever wanted to sail the seas as a puppet? Sea of Remnants seems like an even more colorful and zany single-player Sea of Thieves with some interesting color and ocombat mechanics. The trailer showed off dragons and massive floating crab bosses whose shells are coated in gold. Also what looks like mermaid bosses? Sea of Remnants is coming in 2026.
Sword of the Sea
Yes, Sony debuted a third sea-themed game at State of Play -- or rather, one mixing seas and deserts from game-makers versed in both. Sword of the Sea is a new indie adventure game from Giant Squid, creators of the iconic games Journey, Abzu and The Pathless. And yes, we're getting another soundtrack from Austin Wintory. Sword of the Sea comes to PS5 and PlayStation Plus on August 19, 2025.

Charlize Theron Uses 1 Harsh Word To Describe Jeff Bezos And His Wedding Guests
We didn't know the next installment in the 'Mad Max' franchise was Furiosa vs. the Broligarchy. Charlize Theron kicked off her fifth annual block party for her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project— which advances and invests in the health and safety of young people in Africa — Saturday night with an opening quip that made her opinion of Jeff Bezos and his ilk crystal clear. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,' Theron told event attendees at the Universal Studios backlot, according to the Hollywood Reporter. 'But that's OK because they suck and we're cool.' After the 'Monster' star used one concise word to describe the Amazon founder and the famous attendees of his opulent Venice, Italy, wedding over the weekend, she moved on to thank her attendees for 'taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it's burning because it is.' 'Here in Los Angeles, in the U.S. and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast,' Theron said. 'Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal.' THR notes that as the crowd began to appllaud, she added: 'Yeah, fuck them.' Bezos aligned himself with MAGA in January, when he snagged primo seats at President Donald Trump's inauguration alongside the other leaders of the nation's biggest technology companies, including Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Tim Cook and Tesla's Elon Musk. Bezos is seemingly so chummy with the Trump family that the president's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended the billionaire's wedding, which Forbes estimates may have cost around $25 million. Other attendees joining the star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and the Kardashian/Jenner family, who weren't exactly welcomed in the Italian city. Despite Bezos and his now-wife, Lauren Sánchez, promising to donate money to Venetian charities after they tied the knot, local activist groups, including Greenpeace, protested the wedding. Critics accused the couple of exploiting a city already suffering from overtourism, rising housing prices and the threat of flooding due to environmental factors. But, unlike Trump, it doesn't seem like Theron thinks that protestors suck. The 'Tully' star noted in her speech Saturday that she feels that the 'resistance' against the president's policies is a glimmer of 'hope.' 'There is power in all of us standing up, organizing, protesting, voting and caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal,' Theron said, per THR. 'That spirit of resistance, justice and care for each other, that's the spirit that drives the work at CTAOP.' 'And although our focus is on the youth in Southern Africa,' Theron added, 'what we're really talking about here tonight is that all lives should be valued.'

Michael Saylor's Strategy to Join Wall Street Elite With $14 Billion Windfall
(Bloomberg) — Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) is likely to register an unrealized gain of about $14 billion in the second quarter, putting the once floundering enterprise software maker turned leveraged Bitcoin proxy among the select ranks of corporate titans such as Inc (AMZN). and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Unlike the ten or so US multinationals whose operating profits are expected to exceed $10 billion last quarter by generating billions of dollars in sales, the former MicroStrategy Inc. can attribute the eye-popping results to a rebound in the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and a fairly recent accounting change when it comes to valuing its massive holdings of the cryptocurrency. Strategy is forecast to post only about $112.8 million in second-quarter revenue from the software business, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The likely record profit for the three months ended June 30 follows a barrage of criticism from naysayers such as Jim Chanos. The renowned short-seller has recommended an arbitrage trade to short the shares of Strategy and buy Bitcoin, betting the large premium the stock commands over the value of its token holdings will shrink. The call has sparked a war of words that has captivated Wall Street, with Chanos calling Saylor's model to value the crypto-treasury firm 'financial gibberish' while Saylor argued that Chanos just does not understand it. 'Saylor definitely has a right to feel vindicated,' said Mark Palmer, an analyst at Benchmark Capital, who has maintained a 'buy' rating on Strategy since February 2024. 'He's had people criticizing him for more than four years now and his company has outperformed all other stocks and even the S&P by a long mile.' Strategy's shares have soared over 3,300% since Saylor began buying Bitcoin in the middle of 2020 as a hedge against inflation. Bitcoin is up around 1,000% during the same period, while the S&P 500 has increased around 115%. The stock rose 40% in the second quarter as the S&P climbed 11%. In the first quarter, Strategy adopted an accounting change that requires valuing the firm's now roughly $64 billion in Bitcoin at market prices. Strategy and fellow corporate buyers of Bitcoin are now recognizing the unrealized changes that often produce big swings in earnings. Strategy posted a record $4.2 billion loss the first quarter, which saw Bitcoin slump 12%. Prior to the accounting change, Strategy had been classifying its Bitcoin holdings similar to intangible assets like patents or trademarks. That designation forced Strategy to permanently mark down the value of its holdings when the price of Bitcoin dropped below the previous carrying value. Gains could only be recognized when tokens were sold. The company held 528,185 Bitcoin at the beginning of the quarter, worth over $43.5 billion when the tokens traded for about $82,444.71 each on March 31. The 30% appreciation in Bitcoin increased the market value of those holdings by over $13 billion alone, and the dozen weekly purchases since have tacked on over $600 million more to the unrealized gains, according to Bloomberg News calculations. Strategy is expected to release second-quarter results in August. A company representative didn't reply to a request for comment. Even though the change in accounting was widely known, the first-quarter loss has triggered several class-action lawsuits alleging Strategy executives made untrue and misleading statements that resulted in harm to shareholders. Strategy said it intended to 'vigorously defend against these claims' in a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Over the last five years, Strategy co-founder and Chairman Saylor has become a phenomenon on both Wall Street and in the crypto industry by turning his slowly-weathering business intelligence software company into the first and largest leveraged Bitcoin proxy in the world. 'I think what you're just seeing is the understanding of the value of owning Bitcoin on your balance sheet against the macro backward drop of inflation globally and the need to find a suitable vehicle to store your wealth,' said Ravi Doshi, a trader at FalconX. Funding of the buying binge has evolved into an elaborate combination of common stock and debt sales that has progressed to convertible offerings, and most recently, preferred share sales. Hedge funds have been driving demand for the convertible debt, as they seek out the company for trades that incorporate buying the bonds and selling the shares short, essentially betting on the underlying stock's volatility. Saylor's Bitcoin accumulation tactic has inspired dozens of copycats looking to emulate his success. Other companies are also altering the playbook to use other crypto tokens — Sharplink Gaming Inc., for example, is accumulating Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, while Upexi Inc. recently raised $100 million to buy the Solana token. BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. announced a $250 million private placement to fund an Ether treasury on Monday. 'It remains to be seen whether these companies would be successful or not,' Palmer said.
