Sony's June 2 State of Play: What's Confirmed and What's Rumored

Marvel's Wolverine: The Confirmed Headliner

Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine is the only game Sony has officially confirmed for the June 2 lineup . Insomniac will show off what the PlayStation Blog describes as Logan’s “brutal and relentless” combat , giving fans their first substantial gameplay deep dive since the initial reveal.

Release Date Officially Locked In

Marvel's Wolverine will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 on September 15, 2026. Insomniac confirmed this date in a succinct social media post on February 24, 2026, saying, “Let’s cut to the chase: Marvel’s Wolverine launches September 15, 2026” . The official Marvel Games website also lists this date . Despite earlier hopes for a PC release, the game is currently listed only for PS5 .

Pre-Orders and Pricing: What We Know

Pre-orders are not yet live. Insomniac explicitly stated on March 21 that pre-orders would not open until they “show more of the game” . The June 2 State of Play is clearly that moment. Retailers appear to be preparing for a pre-order window to open either immediately after the broadcast or within the following week. A leak from Notebookcheck on May 30 reported that a GameStop in-store banner shows a standard edition price of $69.99 . While Sony and Insomniac have not verified this price, it aligns perfectly with the standard AAA PS5 game pricing model. Treat the $69.99 figure as a credible retail leak rather than an official announcement for now.

The Faye and Tyr God of War Spinoff: A Loud Rumor, Not a Lock

The most persistent rumor heading into this showcase is a new God of War game that doesn't star Kratos. Multiple credible outlets and tipsters have coalesced around a particular story: a spinoff starring Faye (Kratos’ late wife, the giant Laufey) and the Norse god of war Tyr as dual protagonists .

Insider NateTheHate2, who has a solid track record with PlayStation announcements, reported in March that the project is “set within the God of War universe” and will star Faye, with a greater focus on action gameplay that departs from the recent Norse saga’s slower pacing . Another leaker with a proven track record, @elesnicho, teased the project name “Faye of War,” which many interpret as a strong hint at a State of Play reveal .

What the rumors say:

• Protagonists: Faye is the lead, with Tyr as a major supporting character and likely a second playable protagonist .
• Setting: The game is rumored to be a prequel spanning multiple mythologies, possibly including Japanese, Chinese, and Mayan pantheons, moving beyond the Norse focus of the last two entries .
• Director: Reports point to Cory Barlog, director of 2018's God of War, returning to lead the project .
• Release window: The target is reportedly revealed in 2026 for a launch in the first half of 2027 .

Despite the intensity of these leaks, Sony has not confirmed any God of War project. The company's official blog post for the State of Play named only Marvel's Wolverine . No other title is safe to bet on until the show airs.

Other Rumored Titles

Beyond Wolverine and the God of War spinoff, several other games are whispered to appear:

• Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet – rumored to get a new trailer .
• Horizon online projects – several multiplayer or co-op Horizon titles are reportedly in development .
• New Resident Evil – Capcom may reveal the next mainline Resident Evil .
• Infamous revival – a potential return of the Sucker Punch franchise .

None of these are confirmed. The official PlayStation blog mentions only “updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world” without naming any specific games beyond Wolverine .

Quick Reference: Confirmed vs. Rumor

The June 2 State of Play is shaping up to be a significant event for PS5 owners, with a guaranteed deep dive on Marvel's Wolverine just months before launch. Outside of that, Sony's 60-plus minute runtime leaves room for surprises, but remember that everything beyond the adamantium claws is speculation until Sony shows it on stage.
