Playstation State of Play 2025 Recap

Summer is heating up (baby), and PlayStation’s State of Play 2025 has just delivered a massive wave of reveals, updates, and surprises! Whether you’re a die-hard PlayStation fan or just love gaming in general, this year’s showcase is packed with big hits, sleeper gems, and unexpected delights.

Sit back, grab your favorite gaming snack, and enjoy the State of Play 2025 presentation:


 The Biggest Reveals & Titles Worth a Second Look! 

Sony pulled out all the stops this year, bringing over 40 minutes of jaw-dropping announcements. Here are some of the highlights (for me at least):


 My Two Top Picks & Must-Play Titles 

🕵️ 007 First Light – IO Interactive’s James Bond origin story finally gets its first trailer, showcasing stealth, action, and espionage. This makes the top of my list as a fan of IOI, who managed to keep their studio alive as an indie developer instead of closing their doors. Now, we’re here with 007 First Light, which looks like a kickass action-adventure that takes us back to Bond’s early days. Who better to make a game like this than the creators of... Hitman? And IOI goes hard on replay value, so I can’t wait!

🔥 Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls – This one had me the most hyped. Fighting game fans who only have an Xbox or Nintendo might shed a tear over this PlayStation and PC exclusive. And boy, does it look badass.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls

Yes... Street Fighter 6 is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 (NS2), but I wish Capcom had considered releasing Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 or a remake on the NS2. It would’ve made sense, especially since the original game is such a gem on the Wii.

PlayStation was wise to reach out to Marvel to make this beautiful-looking fighter happen. I don’t know how the game will feel in my hands, but it’s in fantastic hands with Arc System Works. That anime flair takes this to a new level while still holding onto the comic book style that screams Marvel at its core.

4v4 battles? This should be some seriously over-the-top action, and I might have to get my thumbs ready for all this awesomeness.

🎮 Nioh 3 – Team Ninja returns with another brutal action RPG, set to release in early 2026, with a demo available now.

🔥 Silent Hill f – The next entry in the legendary horror franchise arrives September 25, 2025, bringing a terrifying new story set in Japan.

🦇 Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow – The legendary stealth-action franchise returns in VR, offering an immersive experience for PSVR2 players.

🌊 Cairn – A survival-climbing adventure that challenges players to scale treacherous mountains, releasing November 5, 2025.

👾 Digimon Story: Time Stranger – A new Digimon RPG that blends turn-based combat and monster raising, launching October 3, 2025.

🔥 Pragmata – Capcom’s long-awaited sci-fi action game finally returns with a new trailer and a 2026 release window.

🌊 Tides of Tomorrow – A narrative-driven adventure where player choices shape the world, featuring stunning aquatic environments.

⚔️ Ghost of Yotei – The follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima, bringing new samurai action and a gripping story, launching October 2, 2025.

🌊 Sea of Remnants – A mystery-driven free-to-play exploration game set in a post-apocalyptic ocean world, blending survival and storytelling.

 Titles That Deserve a Second Look 

Beyond the blockbusters, PlayStation’s State of Play 2025 also introduced titles that deserve a second look. These are the games that might end up in the shadow of bigger releases, but spotlights decrease the chance of that happening:

🔥 FBC: Firebreak – A fast-paced tactical shooter with destructible environments and intense firefights.

💀 Romeo is a Dead Man – From the crazy cool psycho developer SUDA51, this ultra-violent sci-fi action game is set to release in 2026.

😂 Baby Steps – This game is weird but in a cool, comical way. It almost feels like an Adult Swim original, with hilariously awkward movement mechanics.

⚔️ Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound – This totally gave me the feeling of seeing Ninja Gaiden in the arcade back in the day, but the visuals and action look even better. It looks like it would be extremely challenging, but for those who want fast-paced action that pushes their ability to progress, this could be the one.

🎮 Project Defiant: Wireless Fight Stick – The codename for PlayStation’s first official fight stick, and it’s a beauty. Not sure about the price, but PlayStation fans who constantly take on the competition in fighting games might feel conflicted when choosing between this and other fight sticks—unless they prefer to modify

The Siege and the Sandfox – A Metroidvania Masterpiece... That's a Must-Play!

The Siege and the Sandfox

If you’ve been craving a new-age Metroidvania dripping in retro charm with a sprinkle of stealth, then The Siege and the Sandfox is about to rock your world. This pixel-perfect side-scroller is the real deal—from its fluid parkour mechanics to a story that pulls you in deeper than quicksand, it delivers on all fronts.

Visuals That Hit Different

Let’s talk artwork—because wow, does The Siege and the Sandfox serve up a feast for the eyes. The lush environments, intricate character animations, and rich lighting effects make every frame feel handcrafted with love. If you grew up admiring the classic pixel art of Prince of Persia, this one’s going to hit your nostalgia bone hard—but with all the modern refinements you’d want in 2025.

Gameplay That Feels Like Silk

You ever play a game where movement feels so smooth, it’s almost unfair to everything else? That’s The Siege and the Sandfox. Every leap, wall-run, and stealthy escape is finely tuned, so instead of fighting the mechanics, you’re flowing through levels like a desert wind. Enemies lurk, traps wait, but you’ve got the skills (and some serious swagger) to slip past dangers like a true Sandfox legend.

A Story That Sinks Its Hooks In

Don’t let the pretty pixel art fool you—this story’s got depth. Betrayal, survival, and a sandswept kingdom filled with secrets? Yeah, there’s plenty to chew on here. The narrative unfolds organically, pulling you through twists and turns without ever bogging you down in endless text. You feel the tension, you embrace the journey, and you’re definitely gonna have some “oh wow” moments as the plot thickens.

Audio That’s Straight-Up Magic

Great visuals? Check. Killer gameplay? Check. But The Siege and the Sandfox goes all-in on its sound design, too. Every footstep in the sand, every tense musical cue, every heart-racing escape sequence—it’s crafted to perfection. The soundtrack? Absolute gold—pulling you deeper into the world like an enchanting Arabian symphony.

Replayability? Through the Freaking Roof!

This ain’t one of those “play once, forget forever” games. Oh no, this bad boy begs for multiple playthroughs. The map is enormous, objectives are plentiful, and there’s a ridiculous amount to explore. Every hidden path and alternate strategy keeps things fresh, ensuring that your first 10-hour run is just the beginning. And let’s not forget—it’s only $14.99. For the quality, scale, and sheer fun factor, that price is a steal.

Final Verdict – Add It to Your Collection!

SDGT Entertainment stands by this one—if you love Metroidvanias, new-age pixel adventures, and stealthy Prince of Persia vibes, this game is mandatory playing. It’s a masterpiece, through and through.

💾 Don’t sleep on it. The Siege and the Sandfox is a must-have in 2025
