Until Dawn 2

Following years of rumors, Sony has officially announced a sequel to the horror title Until Dawn, currently in development at Firesprite. While not a direct narrative follow-up, the game shifts the setting from a snow-covered ski resort to a tropical island, featuring a new cast of characters embroiled in a ghost-hunting expedition. True to the Until Dawn legacy, the game features intense encounters and impactful, choice-driven gameplay, with confirmation that player decisions will dictate whether every character survives or meets a gruesome end. The release is scheduled for 2027, exclusively for PlayStation 5.

God of War Laufey

The final title showcased during State of Play was a new God of War entry; as predicted by numerous insiders, it is a spin-off focused on the character Faye. Santa Monica Studio presented over 20 minutes of gameplay for God of War: Laufey, confirming that the story takes place immediately following the opening scene of God of War (2018), albeit with a twist. Following her cremation, Faye awakens in a mysterious realm inhabited by higher deities, and she is determined to escape in order to return to Kratos and Atreus. Incidentally, the franchise's iconic protagonist also makes an appearance in the trailer.

The developers promise that in God of War Laufey, Faye will encounter various divine beings that will significantly expand the franchise's lore. An improved combat system was also showcased. Faye has a two-handed sword at her disposal, as well as the ability to literally "knock" the souls out of her enemies. The game does not yet have a release date.
