It did so at the end of a quick cinematic trailer for the game shown during today's State of Play showcase. During the cinematic trailer, we see protagonist Atsu overlooking a village, talking to someone. A few seconds later, she asks that person if they're ready, and we learn she was talking to a fearsome wolf. It seems this wolf will be Atsu's companion throughout her journey in Ghost of Yōtei. You can check out the teaser below: <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qRiTEkU3Utg" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>While waiting for July's Ghost of Yōtei State of Play showcase, read up on the <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/04/23/ghost-of-yotei-release-date-set-for-october-collectors-edition-revealed">Ghost of Yōtei preorder details.</a><a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/product/ghost-of-yotei"> Ghost of Yōtei</a> launches exclusively on PlayStation 5 on October 2. What do you hope to see in next month's State of Play?

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls Is A 4v4 Fighter From The Makers Of Dragon Ball FighterZ

Dubbed Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, players can throw down as their favorite Marvel heroes and villains next year.Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls raises the tag team stakes by pitting two teams of four characters against each other, who can be tagged in and out of combat on the fly. That makes for a whopping eight characters flying in and out of action each round. Fighting Souls features fast-paced action in titles such as Dragon Ball: FighterZ and BlazBlue, including flashy special attacks and cinematic finishing moves. Aesthetically, Marvel’s most popular characters are reimagined in Arc’s signature cel-shaded style and have distinctly Japanese flair, such as Iron Man’s more mecha-inspired suit.<iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6fbfrV5qqnU" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>The trailer confirmed the following characters: <ul><li>Spider-Man</li><li>Captain America</li><li>Thor</li><li>Storm</li><li>Dr. Doom</li><li>Star-Lord</li><li>Ms. Marvel</li><li>Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes)</li></ul>Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is coming to PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.

New Look At 007: First Light Takes Us Back To Beginnings

4 June 2025 - Matt Miller

<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/17723102/bond5.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> We now have a closer look at the new Bond Game, which appears to take us back to the earliest days of the world’s most famous spy. Today’s State of Play finally gave us a close-up look at 007: First Light, the upcoming James Bond game coming to us from iO Interactive. At the risk of veering into hyperbole, it looks pretty amazing. Many longtime Hitman players have highlighted how well-suited the developer might be for tackling the James Bond mythology, and today’s trailer certainly backed up that suspicion. The third-person action title seems to borrow liberally from what we’ve seen in the Hitman games, but definitely has an active and fast-moving pace that establishes a unique identity.  From a storytelling perspective, this new installment takes us back to Bond’s earliest days in the spy service, and the tagline “Earn the number” suggests he won’t even have that familiar 007 designation as the game begins. We see a handsome younger version of Bond offering up plenty of swagger and confidence with the ladies, but the trailer also shows off some high-octane action sequences. We also learned that 007: First Light is on track for a release in 2026. We don’t have full details yet on platforms, but its prior announcement appearance confirmed the game for Switch 2, and today’s appearance during State of Play confirms we’ll also see the game on PS5. We’d be surprised if the game didn’t also make an appearance on Xbox and PC, but that remains to be confirmed.<iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/J4qY9DYE184" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe> <section class='type:slideshow'><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/1fca295f/bond4.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/e107914f/bond2.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/96f6a903/bond1.jpg'></figure><figure><img src='https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/ca67afd7/bond3.jpg'></figure></section>

4 June 2025 - Charles Harte

<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/cfbad885/nioh1.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> Nioh, the intense action RPG from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, is getting a third entry. Unlike the last two games, this one includes a split combat style, allowing you to swap between samurai and ninja styles. You can get a look for yourself with the trailer below.<iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KXGm-JaxY54" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>The ninja style looks to be more fluid and acrobatic than the game's standard style, and in one shot, we can even see the player swap mid-battle. Stages have also expanded into open fields, which general producer Fumihiko Yasuda says will significantly increase player freedom and exploration in the game.The trailer shows off lots of what we've come to expect from the series, including flashy attacks, elaborate boss designs, and a whole lot of swords. If it looks interesting, you're in luck – there's a demo for the game's alpha out today on the PlayStation store, complete with a character creator, but it will only be available until June 18, <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2025/06/04/nioh-3-announced-for-ps5-limited-time-demo-available-today/">according to the PS Blog</a>.

Silent Hill f Gets Release Date Alongside Creepy New Gameplay

4 June 2025 - Matt Miller

<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/45382e03/silenthill1.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> We finally got a closer look at what to expect from the next installment of the horror series. Today’s PlayStation Sate of Play gave us a deeper look at Silent Hill f, the new mainline entry for the long-running horror franchise. Silent Hill f returns players to the same style of creepy vibes they’ve come to expect, but centers the action and terror in a significantly more Japanese-inspired setting and tone. The game follows protagonist Hinako Shimizu, a high schooler who is exploring the town of Ebisugaoka, Japan, which has been consumed by fog, and dealing with horrific monsters and puzzles in equal measure. We saw her having to navigate through an array of frightening monsters, including mannequins wielding blades. Alongside the new glimpse of gameplay, we also finally got a release date for the game. Silent Hill f is set to arrive on September 25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l38Q1XJ2HO8" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>

Castlevania Spiritual Successor Bloodstained Is Getting A Prequel

4 June 2025 - Marcus Stewart

<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/e021a3bf/bloodstained1.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement Trailer" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> 2019’s Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was a well-received spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night by that game's mastermind, Koji Igarashi. It’s been five years since that game launched, but we’re finally getting a true follow-up with the reveal of Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement.<iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-de45inSnWg" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>This prequel to Ritual of the Night retains the 2D Castlevania-inspired action of its predecessor. In terms of story, the game's synopsis states, "Leo and the fearless Black Wolves as they prepare to storm the cursed Ethereal Castle and confront the rising darkness. Under the command of Lord Theodore, the warriors face horrific beasts and the malevolent Demon Lord Elias in a brutal battle for humanity’s survival." The trailer also shows two characters working together to battle supernatural threats, but it’s unclear at the moment if the game features co-op.Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is coming to PlayStation 5 in 2026.

Pragmata, Capcom's New Sci-Fi Action Game, Launches Next Year

4 June 2025 - Charles Harte

<img loading="lazy" src="https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/body_default/public/2025/06/04/099b905e/pragmata2.jpg" width="800" height="450" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-body-default" /> After <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/capcom-showcase/2023/06/12/new-pragmata-teaser-reveals-its-been-delayed-again">an anti-trailer a few summers ago</a>, today's State of Play gave us our first real look at Pragmata, a new science fiction IP from Capcom. The trailer mainly showcases the relationship between the protagonist and a mysterious girl with technological powers who rides on his back, but it opens with a mysterious trailer for a fictional tech company called Delphi. You can watch it for yourself below.<iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PdDVyBtYrUI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>The game appears to be a third-person action game, and in the footage shown today, we see that you play as a man in a futuristic astronaut suit – think NASA body with an Iron Man mask. In a mostly-isolated space station on what appears to be Earth's moon, this protagonist has to battle a legion of robots using a pistol and handy gadgets built into his suit, like an attachment that lets him ride up walls, or jets on his waist that allow him to dodge and hover.The star of the trailer, however, is D-I-03367, better known as Diana, who calls herself a "state-of-the-art Pragmata," which seems to be another word for a human-like android, capable of hacking and harnessing technology by pointing at it. In the trailer, we see her stun enemies and override doors, which is likely just the tip of the iceberg for her capabilities in the main game.The trailer ends with what seems like an apology for the last time we saw the game – the note Diana wrote delaying its release is erased and replaced by a new launch window: 2026. Hopefully, that date sticks this time. For more State of Play, <a href="https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2025/06/04/lumines-arise-gives-the-popular-puzzler-the-tetris-effect-this-fall">check out the reveal for Lumines Arise</a>, the new title from Tetris Effect developer Enhance.

Lumines Arise Gives The Popular Puzzler The Tetris Effect This Fall

The upcoming puzzler enhances and reimagines the beloved series as a synesthesia-fueled experience. From the creators of Tetris Effect: Connected, Lumines tasks players with matching ever-changing tiles to create score-multiplying combos to an eclectic soundtrack. Sporting dream-like visuals and impressive particle effects, the game looks as pleasing to the senses as its Tetris counterpart. <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SwuqiVNs058" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>A free demo will be available this summer and features single and multiplayer play.

It's called Romeo is a Dead Man and is due out sometime in 2026.

Romeo, himself, is a mysterious protagonist, but Suda 51 says there will be more to share in the future. Check it out in the Romeo is a Dead Man reveal trailer below: <iframe width="560" height="315" frameBorder="0" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nW1cE6sj6h8" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay" allowfullscreen="true"> </iframe>Romeo is a Dead Man is set to launch in 2026, though the trailer teases that 2026 is a "maybe." Are you excited for Romeo is a Dead Man?
