Poland’s CD Projekt Red on May 27 announced Songs of the Past, a new story expansion for 2015’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt slated for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. The studio said the expansion, which returns players to Geralt of Rivia, is co-developed with Polish studio Fool’s Theory and that fuller details will be revealed in late summer 2026. The announcement followed an accidental reveal via the company’s RED Launcher and trademark filings. Alongside the title and platforms, CD Projekt published updated system requirements effective from the next game update: the studio will no longer test on Windows 10, will require Windows 11 and SSD storage going forward, and has moved to DirectX 12; minimum recommended PC specs have been raised. Market reaction was muted: CD Projekt shares initially rose but then fell about 4% after investors noted the expansion was expected earlier and could affect timing for Witcher 4. The company continues work on Witcher 4, a Cyberpunk sequel and other projects while leveraging the long-term commercial success of The Witcher franchise.

Sony’s June 2–3 State of Play livestream rolled out more than an hour of reveals and release-date pushes, led by extended gameplay for Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine (due Sept. 15, 2026) and a major debut for Santa Monica Studio’s next mainline God of War, subtitled Laufey (no release date). The showcase included new first-party and third‑party single‑player titles and remakes: Rayman Legends Retold (Oct. 1), Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (delayed to Feb. 12, 2027), Control: Resonant (Sept. 24), Silent Hill: Townfall (Sept. 24), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (Sept. 25), Ace Combat 8 (Oct. 2) and Dune: Awakening’s PS5 port (Sept. 22). New IPs and reveals included Stuntman: Hollywood, Kemuri (2027), Bancho the Chef (Dave the Diver prequel), The Lost Wild (2027) and Until Dawn 2 (2027). Several September–October release windows were clustered well ahead of GTA 6’s Nov. 16 launch. The presentation reinforced a tilt toward premium, narrative single‑player games amid Sony’s earlier live‑service setbacks, while delivering a packed fall slate for the PlayStation 5.

Sony and developer Insomniac Games opened their June 2 State of Play showcase with more than seven minutes of gameplay for Marvel’s Wolverine, confirming the PS5-exclusive will launch on Sept. 15, 2026. The trailer follows Logan as he hunts a cybernetic mercenary faction called the Reavers and rescues kidnapped mutants, introducing allies and antagonists including Jean Grey, Mystique, Sabretooth and Trask Industries’ Sentinel forces. Combat is visceral and bloody, featuring dismemberment, a rage meter and real-time regional healing; Insomniac says the mature tone is integral to the design but includes an accessibility option to censor gore. Preorders are live: the standard edition is $69.99 with early-access cosmetic bonuses, while an $80 Digital Deluxe edition adds extra suits, claws and technique points. Insomniac described the game as a tightly paced, story-driven action experience rather than an open-world city title. The footage and developer interviews stressed both mechanical depth in claw combat and a darker narrative focus on Logan and Team X.

Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog’s reimagining of the 1996 classic, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, has been pushed into 2027 and is now scheduled to launch on February 12, 2027. The delay was confirmed during Sony’s State of Play broadcast on June 2, 2026. The Unreal Engine 5-powered remake will release simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam) and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders are live: the Standard Edition is priced at $59.99 and the Deluxe Edition at $69.99 (which includes 48-hour early access, a Parisian Fugitive outfit and a post-launch story DLC pack); a Collector’s Edition with physical collectibles and extras is also offered. The game rebuilds iconic locations such as Peru’s Lost Valley into larger, interconnected environments, modernises puzzles and combat, and preserves set pieces including dinosaur encounters. Legacy of Atlantis will also lead into a new original Tomb Raider title, Catalyst, currently slated for release in 2027.

On June 2, 2026 Sony held an extended PlayStation State of Play livestream featuring more than 60 minutes of updates from its studios. The event opened with an extended, gore-heavy gameplay showcase for Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine, confirming a September 15, 2026 PS5-exclusive launch, preorder availability the same day and pricing: $69.99 standard and a $80 digital deluxe edition with additional suits, claws and technique points. Wolverine’s trailer introduced Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Mystique and other X-Men characters and emphasised mature, brutal combat. The show closed with a 20‑minute reveal for God of War: Laufey, a Santa Monica Studio prequel starring Faye (voiced by Deborah Ann Woll) that shifts combat toward greater mobility and magic; no release window was given. Sony also announced other slate moves and dates — Control: Resonant (Sept. 24), Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (Feb. 12, 2027), Ace Combat 8 (Oct. 2), Dune: Awakening PS5 port (Sept. 22) — plus remasters, new IPs and Marathon season 2 content available June 2–9.

Sony and Santa Monica Studio closed PlayStation’s State of Play on June 2, 2026 with a 20‑minute gameplay reveal for God of War: Laufey, a mainline PS5 exclusive that shifts the series’ focus from Kratos to his late wife Faye (Laufey). The trailer shows Faye awakening in the Everywhen — an otherworldly afterlife where gods from multiple pantheons clash — and battling figures identified as Sekhmet and Begtse. Gameplay emphasizes faster, aerial and magic‑driven combat distinct from Kratos’ heavy style and introduces companions Phranque, a talking gelatinous cube voiced and mocap‑performed by Jack Quaid, and Rue, a sentient ribbon voiced by Perlina Lau. Deborah Ann Woll reprises the role of Faye. Creative leads, including Cory Barlog and director Ariel Lawrence, said the game continues the existing timeline rather than serving as a prequel. Sony has not announced a release date; PlayStation storefront listings are marked “to be determined.” Reports also suggest Sony currently plans to keep major single‑player exclusives console‑only, making a PC release unlikely.
