Everything announced at State of Play February 12, 2026
PlayStation State of Play (February 2026) – My Full Breakdown of Every Reveal
Sony’s February 12, 2026, State of Play was a proper “one more thing” kind of night. It ran a little over an hour and bounced between new reveals, fresh gameplay looks, release date confirmations, and a few “wait, that’s out now?” moments.
This blog is my own recap and reaction, built from the official PlayStation Blog roundup, so it’s easy to scan, share, and bookmark.
The big mood of the show
There were two main flavors here:
1) Legacy energy
Old legends coming back, sometimes in surprising forms: God of War (Greek saga remake + a 2D spinoff), Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, Legacy of Kain remastered, and Rayman’s 30th Anniversary Edition.
2) “New game smell.”
A Bond origin story with IO’s fingerprints, a co-op shinobi project, horror creeping in with Capcom and Silent Hill, and a few “this looks weird, I’m in” curveballs.
My personal headline picks
If I had to circle the “stop scrolling” announcements:
-
God of War: Greek trilogy remake confirmed in early development, plus God of War: Sons of Sparta is a 2D action-platformer, and it’s out now on PS5. That is a wild combo.
-
John Wick: Saber Interactive is making a game set in an unseen chapter of Wick’s life. “Gun-fu” and driving are explicitly part of the promise, with the official title and date still unannounced.
-
Marathon: Launching March 5, with a Server Slam starting Feb 26 so players can try select content early and earn rewards that carry forward.
-
Saros: Housemarque showed more of the systems and the pressure-cooker escalation concept, and it’s launching April 30 on PS5.
-
Resident Evil Requiem: A launch trailer and the game are almost here, arriving February 27.
Everything announced (with the key details)
Action, adventure, and big-screen energy
007 First Light – A new story trailer focused on IO Interactive’s origin take on Bond, including a mission path that starts in Iceland and pulls him toward the revived 00 program, plus key characters like John Greenway and a rogue 009.
John Wick – A new entry built with the film creators, aiming to translate the franchise’s signature style (cinematic environments, gun-fu, and driving) into gameplay. No official title or release date yet, but it’s coming to PS5.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora – Ember Lab returns with a new adventure starring an older, more established Kena on the island of Kosmora. Spirit companions return and evolve with you, and combat expands with elemental strategy. Coming to PS5 and PC this year, per the roundup.

Multiplayer, co-op, and squad-friendly chaos

4: Loop – A closer breakdown of this four-player co-op shooter’s core loop and systems, with mentions of upcoming beta opportunities.

Yakoh Shinobi Ops – Four-player online, isometric shinobi action on PS5 next year, focused on infiltration runs, teamwork, and escaping an “unstoppable Pursuer” that can end the run.
Horror corner (because the universe loves us and hates us)
Resident Evil Requiem – Launching February 27, with a new launch trailer shown during the event.

Demos and near-term dates worth highlighting

PlayStation Plus notes
A quick but meaningful PS Plus segment:

-
February Game Catalog (Feb 17) includes Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, Neva, Season: A Letter to the Future, plus Disney Pixar Wall-E for Premium.
Final thoughts
This State of Play felt like Sony stacking the deck with variety. It had the comfort-food history (God of War, MGS, Rayman, Legacy of Kain) and the “future-hook” stuff (Marathon’s runway, Saros’ systems, Pragmata’s vibe, Silent Hill’s new angle).
Personally, I love it when a show doesn’t try to be one thing. Give me spectacle, give me weird experiments, give me a demo tomorrow, and then cap it with something that makes my group chat combust. This one understood the assignment.
