Sony packed a lot into September’s State of Play. We got the first real look at Marvel’s Wolverine, a date for Housemarque’s Saros, a Battlefield 6 campaign reveal, and updates across PS5, PS Plus and accessories. For UAE readers, yes—the show aired in the small hours: 1:00am UAE on Thursday, 25 September.
Headliners: Wolverine, Saros and Battlefield 6
Short version: Wolverine is 2026, Saros lands in March 2026, Battlefield 6 showed its story mode.
- Marvel’s Wolverine: first gameplay; Fall 2026 window.
- Saros (Housemarque): extended gameplay; 20 March 2026 on PS5.
- Battlefield 6: single-player campaign reveal and squad-switching setup.
Insomniac’s Wolverine trailer set the tone for 2026 with fast, close-quarters combat and a globe-trotting story. Saros looks like Returnal’s mean cousin with permanent progression systems and a firm date. Battlefield 6’s reveal focused on its Marine Raiders unit and mission structure, hinting at a more tactical, squad-led campaign than the series’ recent outings.
