Sony’s June 2 State of Play ran for over 60 minutes and packed in more than a dozen game reveals — but one announcement silenced every PlayStation fan in the room. We now have a new God of War, and Kratos is not the one holding the axe.
God of War Laufey — A New Protagonist, a New Era
The show’s finale dropped the biggest surprise of the night: God of War Laufey, starring Faye — Kratos’ wife, Atreus’ mother, and a warrior who was supposed to be dead. The premise is tantalising: “Death was supposed to be the end, but for Laufey, a new adventure is just beginning.”
No release date was confirmed beyond TBA 2026, but the gameplay footage shown was clearly running on PS5 hardware, and the mythology-soaked world looks every bit as stunning as Ragnarök. For Singapore PS5 gamers who have been waiting for the next chapter after Ragnarök‘s cliffhanger, this is it — and we are watching Faye’s story unfold.
Marvel’s Wolverine Gets a Date: 15 September 2026
Insomniac Games’ long-awaited Marvel’s Wolverine finally has a launch date — 15 September 2026, PS5 exclusive. The extended gameplay reveal showed Logan fighting alongside Jean Grey and clashing with cybernetic Reavers serving the industrialist Bolivar Trask. Sabretooth appears to be lurking as a key antagonist.
Combat looks brutal in the best way: a Rage meter builds with successful hits, Tier 3 unlocking a stylised monochromatic slaughter mode. The Healing Factor activates as a Last Stand mechanic when health hits critical. This is a full single-player action game — no multiplayer, no live service — and that alone has us excited.
Confirmed pricing: Standard Edition at US$69.99 / ¥8,980; SGD pricing has not been officially announced at the time of writing, though local PlayStation partners typically price at a comparable SGD rate to Japan’s yen figure. Keep an eye on the PlayStation Singapore store.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword — 25 September, and It Looks Stunning
For fans of Capcom’s beloved samurai series, Onimusha: Way of the Sword now has a firm date: 25 September 2026 on PS5. Set in early Edo-period Kyoto, the game brings the demon-slaying, oni-gauntlet action of the classic PS2 series into full modern 3D for the first time. A playable demo was also announced as part of the State of Play reveal.
This one matters particularly for Singapore and Southeast Asian gamers — Onimusha has always had a devoted following in this region. The feudal Japan aesthetic, the brutal sword combat, the yokai enemies: it all holds up, and then some.
The Full Fall 2026 PS5 Lineup at a Glance
Beyond the headliners, the State of Play confirmed a stacked September–October 2026 window for PS5:
- Dune: Awakening — 22 September (open-world survival MMO)
- Marvel’s Wolverine — 15 September
- Control Resonant — 24 September
- Silent Hill: Townfall — 24 September
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword — 25 September
- Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve — 2 October
- Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition — 1 October
- Rayman Legends Retold — 1 October
- Phantom Blade Zero — 29 October
- No Rest for the Wicked — October (date TBC)
That is eight confirmed releases between mid-September and end of October. Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition alone will have Southeast Asian gaming cafes buzzing — the Warriors franchise is a staple here.
Longer-Term Reveals Worth Noting
Until Dawn 2 is coming in 2027 as a standalone horror sequel from Firesprite, this time dropping ghost hunters onto an abandoned tropical island — branching choices intact. Kemuri, a yokai-hunting co-op action game from Ikumi Nakamura’s studio UNSEEN, also debuted for 2027; the Tokyo setting and supernatural enemy design look genuinely original.
PlayStation Plus subscribers get some treats too: Runescape: Dragonwilds hits Game Catalog day one, and Premium members get Gitaroo Man this June and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in August — great timing to revisit the series before Way of the Sword drops.
Last Words
For Singapore PS5 owners, the State of Play just turned the second half of 2026 into one of the most expensive gaming seasons in recent memory. God of War Laufey has no date yet, but Wolverine, Onimusha, Dune Awakening, and Dynasty Warriors 3 all land within six weeks of each other. Budget wisely.
