Sony’s latest State of Play showcase on Thursday included a bevy of new trailers, reveals, and more. It was a long one, clocking in at an hour in length, and was chock-full of updates on upcoming PlayStation 5 games like Beast of Reincarnation and Silent Hill: Townfall. We also got some surprise reveals, like God of War: Sons of Sparta and an untitled John Wick game. That’s right. He’s thinkin’ he’s back.
If you didn’t want to set aside an hour to watch the stream (understandable) or need a refresher on what was revealed amidst the flurry of announcements, we have you covered.
Two God of War projects announced
The God of War returns to Greece. The State of Play closed by announcing the original trilogy of God of War games are being remade. Better yet, that announcement was followed by the reveal of a 2D prequel, Sons of Sparta, that’s out today.
Beast of Reincarnation gets summer release date
Pokémon developer Game Freak’s next project just got a release date. Beast in Reincarnation will be released Aug. 4 for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X.

First look at Silent Hill: Townfall

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach coming to PC next month
2025 Game of the Year-nominee Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is coming to Windows PC, and sooner than expected, given how long PlayStation exclusives typically take to make the leap from consoles to PC. It’ll arrive on March 19.

Mina the Hollower demo tomorrow
Mina the Hollower is coming this spring, but you can try it out tomorrow via a demo. All your progress will transfer over to the full game when it launches. It’s from the team behind Shovel Knight, so it’s an indie to keep an eye on.

2024 indie hit Neva — a true heartbreaker if there ever was one — is getting a DLC prequel next week when Neva: Prologue launches.
Yakoh Shinobi Ops revealed
Yahoh Shonibi Ops is an isometric stealth action game with some big ol’ monsters coming in 2027.

Be seeing you, John Wick
Lionsgate revealed a violent and action-packed John Wick game. In it, the former hitman goes to town on enemies using guns and improvised weapons, like a frying pan. Though it’s not the first John Wick game, it’s the first one that appears — at least at this first glance — to be faithful to the films.
