PlayStation State of Play February 2026: All Games Announced and Details
PlayStation excited the gaming world with numerous announcements at its State of Play event held on February 12-13, 2026. This special broadcast, lasting over 60 minutes, featured news from major franchises including God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania, and Silent Hill.
God of War: Two Major Surprises
The most striking announcements of State of Play came from the God of War series. Santa Monica Studio revealed that a remake of the original God of War trilogy (God of War, God of War II, and God of War III) is in development. Since the project is still in early development stages, new information isn’t expected anytime soon.
Additionally, God of War: Sons of Sparta, a 2D action platformer developed in partnership with Mega Cat Studios, launched for PS5 alongside the event. The game covers Kratos’ period as a Spartan warrior before becoming a god.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2
Konami finally announced the long-awaited Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2. The collection will launch for PS5 on August 27, 2026. The package includes Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel as a bonus title. MGS4 being playable on platforms other than PS3 for the first time is a major development for series fans.
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse
Konami’s other big surprise was the return of the Castlevania series, which hasn’t seen a new game in over 10 years. Developed by Motion Twin and Evil Empire, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse combines classic 2D action-exploration gameplay with a modern art style. The game will launch this year for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits Sequel Coming
Ember Lab announced Kena: Scars of Kosmora, the sequel to 2021’s Kena: Bridge of Spirits. In the new game, a more experienced Kena explores the mysterious island of Kosmora. Thanks to the partnership with PlayStation Studios, a larger world is promised. The game will launch in 2026 for PS5 and PC.
