10 biggest reveals from PlayStation’s State of Play in June

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches in 2026.

Not to be left out of the gaming festivities this week, PlayStation hosted its latest State of Play stream on Wednesday, giving PS5 owners a sneak peek at some of the games set to arrive in the coming months. It's been a bit of a dry spell for PlayStation exclusives, but in the aftermath of this event, it's clear that 2025 and 2026 will have plenty to offer.

If you missed it, it might be worth rewatching the nearly 50-minute live stream, but below, we've rounded up all of the most important announcements and trailers from the stream, including the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster and a new Marvel fighting game.

If the trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man immediately had you thinking of No More Heroes, there's a good reason for that. This is the latest title from Grasshopper Manufacture and Suda51, which haven't released a game since 2021's No More Heroes III. Coming next year, Romeo is a Dead Man stars the titular Romeo as FBI Space-Time special agent “Dead Man,” tasked with hunting fugitives through space and time with his array of guns and swords.

No, it's not the Final Fantasy 9 remake I'd been anticipated, but Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles might be the next best thing.

The Thief reboot on PS4 was one of the first games I reviewed for BGR, and it holds a soft spot in my heart to this day.
