Two Shows, 34 Reveals, One Very Long Morning
PlayStation delivered on the two-shows promise from earlier this week - State of Play, immediately followed by State of Play Japan - and between them covered 34 games and one film trailer. Three of today’s reveals already earned their own dedicated coverage: the LEGO PlayStation (72306) set, Marvel’s Wolverine’s new launch trailer, and Turok: Origins’ first gameplay. Here’s everything else that actually landed, plus a full rundown of the rest so nothing from today gets missed.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation Closes the Show, As Promised
PlayStation kept its word from earlier this week: the main broadcast closed with an extended Final Fantasy VII Revelation segment, confirming April 8, 2027 and showing off expanded world exploration alongside a reworked combat system. It’s the clearest single reason to have set an alarm for this one. Worth noting for anyone who was hoping otherwise: Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet did not show up at either broadcast, despite the speculation - Naughty Dog is still sitting on it.
Ghost of Yotei Gets Its Biggest Update Yet
Sucker Punch used the show to detail a new Most Wanted combat mode and the Echoes of Sekigahara expansion, both landing October 1, 2026. If Ghost of Tsushima was one of the console generation’s genuine highlights for you, this is the follow-up getting real post-launch support rather than a quiet fade-out.
GTA 6 Gets Its Own Limited-Edition Controllers
Rockstar and Sony revealed Black and White Limited Edition DualSense controllers built around GTA 6’s branding, arriving alongside the game’s November 19, 2026 launch. It’s a controller reveal, not a gameplay update, but with GTA 6 already the most-anticipated release on the platform - see our full GTA hub and the running GTA 6 news coverage for everything else confirmed so far - even the peripherals are news at this point.
Metro 2039 Gets Its First Gameplay
4A Games showed the first gameplay for Metro 2039, the series’ first new mainline entry since 2019’s Exodus, running a PS5 Pro-optimized build through post-apocalyptic Moscow. It’s a single-player survival shooter at heart - exploration, scavenging and stealth over run-and-gun - due February 4, 2027.
AdPlayStation 5 Console (1TB, Disc Edition) (opens in a new tab)
Every single one of today's 34 reveals lands on this - a genuinely stacked week to have the console set up and ready.
Monster Hunter Wilds Isn’t Done Growing
Capcom detailed Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, a major 2027 expansion adding new hunt mechanics, a Boost Action system and a new dragon-elder threat. For households already deep into Wilds’ co-op hunts, this is the confirmation the game isn’t winding down anytime soon.
Everything Else From Today’s Show
What’s Next
Ghost of Yotei’s Echoes of Sekigahara expansion and GTA 6’s own launch are the two dates worth circling from today - both land within weeks of each other this autumn. Every single one of today’s 34 reveals lands on a PS5, so this is a good week to make sure the console itself is actually set up and ready. We’ll have full coverage of each as they arrive, plus our usual reviews once anything above is actually in hand.
The Dadnology Take
A genuinely stacked show, and the split-in-two format paid off - two hours combined and almost none of it felt like filler. Final Fantasy VII Revelation getting a real date is the headline, but Ghost of Yotei quietly getting a full expansion is the one that matters most for a household that already owns the first game. GTA 6 controllers are a fun footnote next to all of it, not a reason to get excited on their own.
