Sony lines up a big State of Play: Castlevania, John Wick and Wolverine
Sony announced a June 2 State of Play with over 60 minutes of news, including the Castlevania Belmont's Curse reveal and an AAA John Wick project.
- Sony lined up a State of Play stream for June 2, 2026 with more than 60 minutes of content.
- The show opens with Marvel Wolverine from Insomniac Games, locked for a September 15 release.
- Castlevania Belmont's Curse was announced, a 2D adventure co-developed by Konami, Evil Empire and Motion Twin.
- Saber Interactive is working on a major John Wick project, the first AAA title in the series.
Is Sony using the new State of Play to push back against Microsoft’s Xbox showcases? By the lineup they are announcing, the answer is yes, with a clear play for the gaming audience.
The company confirmed on May 20 that the new stream lands Tuesday, June 2, with over 60 minutes of premieres, gameplay demos and release dates for titles that have been on hold for years. The stream airs on YouTube and Twitch, kicking off at 11 p.m. Central European Time.
It is the second big stream this year after the April edition, where Sony shared the first gameplay reel for Death Stranding 2. The difference this time is that long-delayed titles are finally getting unlocked.
Marvel Wolverine opens the show
The biggest reveal is that the show opens with Marvel Wolverine, in development at Insomniac Games. It is the studio’s third Marvel game after two Spider-Man titles that combined sold over 35 million copies on PlayStation platforms.
Tim Turi, head of communications at Sony Interactive Entertainment, previewed the lineup:
Insomniac Games will share more on its upcoming third-person action-adventure game, showing off Logan’s brutal and ruthless combat techniques along with some new details that have not been revealed until now.
The game ships on September 15, 2026 exclusively on PlayStation 5. Pricing lands in the standard tier of around 69.99 euros (about 8,220 dinars) for the base edition. Players have waited three years for this one, after the initial 2023 reveal.
Castlevania Belmont’s Curse, a classic series returns
A new game in the Castlevania series, Belmont’s Curse, was announced as a 2D action title. The project comes out of a partnership across three studios:
- Konami as publisher and rights holder
- Evil Empire, the French studio behind Dead Cells
- Motion Twin, the original Dead Cells team
That combination is a natural fit because Castlevania inspired Dead Cells, which has sold over 10 million copies. Those studios are now bringing the same playbook back to the Castlevania franchise.
The game ships in 2026, with the exact date set to be announced at the show itself. In practice you can expect to play it by year’s end.
Saber Interactive on the John Wick AAA project
The third major reveal is that Saber Interactive, a studio with a rich action portfolio, is working on a large-format John Wick game. It is the first AAA title in the John Wick series, after a dozen smaller mobile releases.
Saber has grown into a heavyweight on action titles over recent years. Past releases include Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, which sold 2 million copies in its opening week. The John Wick project is a step up into the exclusive AAA tier.
No release date was announced. Based on Saber’s past pace, a realistic window is 2027 or 2028.
Silent Hill Townfall, the wait continues
Silent Hill Townfall was first announced in 2022 by Konami and the British studio No Code. The new appearance brings a fresh trailer and confirmation that the game is still in development, but with no release date.
Townfall is part of the wider Silent Hill revival Konami is currently pushing. Alongside this project, the Silent Hill 2 Remake from Poland’s Bloober Team ships in early 2027, and Silent Hill F out of a Japanese studio has been in beta since March.
The reason for fresh news now was likely audience pressure, with fans starting to ask whether the project had been quietly cancelled. Konami was not willing to lose the narrative momentum.
What this means for buyers in Serbia
The PlayStation 5 is currently the top-selling home console in Serbia, with pricing around 75,000 dinars for the base version and 89,000 dinars for the Digital Edition. The PS5 Pro is also available, at the higher tag of around 115,000 dinars.
All the announced titles will be available through the PlayStation Store for users in Serbia with no regional limits. Pricing will be in line with the European market, around 69.99 euros for AAA titles.
Pre-orders for Marvel Wolverine will probably open right after the June 2 stream. Users who want to lock in launch-week copies can pre-book through PSN or local retailers like Gigatron and Tehnomanija.
Are you more drawn to the Insomniac Wolverine or the new AAA John Wick project, and are you planning to watch the stream live?
