Sony held a major State of Play presentation, showcasing more than 20 games. Viewers were treated to long-awaited announcements, including new entries in the God of War and Until Dawn franchises, fresh gameplay footage from Wolverine, as well as numerous other projects, remakes, and release date updates.

Below is a complete roundup of the biggest news and game reveals from the presentation.

IMPORTANT: The showcase featured ILL and Stuntman: Hollywood. These games are developed by Russian developers operating under international branding. We therefore recommend avoiding these projects.
