Tonight’s PlayStation State of Play was a little bit different to the ones we’ve had in the past as it was focused primarily on games hailing from Japan and across Asia. (Hence Sony naming it ‘State of Play Japan’.) This makes it perfect for any RPG fans out there and, having written that, I really hope there’s at least one RPG or else I’m going to look a little bit silly…
Whether you’ve skipped the show or are looking for an announcement rundown, take a walk down below to find all of the featured games alongside trailers.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined
Tonight’s State of Play began with a look at Dragon Quest VII Reimagined – the remake of the original PlayStation game. The trailer gave us an excellent look at the new graphics – both in cutscenes and outside of them! This includes a look at how battles will play out in this return to Estard.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined will be released on 5th Feburary 2026.
Inkonbini: One Store. Many Stories
Next up it was time for a cosy game! Inkonbini: One Store. Many Stories is set within a convenience store. Here you play as the clerk, taking care of the store itself and the customers who visit. You can even collect capsule toys from the machine outside!
Inkonbini: One Store. Many Stories will be released in April 2026.
Coffee Talk Tokyo
It was then time for the next installment in the Coffee Talk series! This time we’re leaving Seattle and heading to Tokyo. (If you couldn’t guess from the title.) Here you’ll serve a new selection of supernatural, including beings from Japanese folklore like the Kappa, and human customers alike. The Coffee Talk mechanics of brewing drinks and helping customers solve their problems returns.
Coffee Talk Tokyo will be released on 5th March 2026.
BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW
The first of two new BrokenLore titles, UNFOLLOW is a first-person horror game themed around social media. Playing as Anne, you’ll have to use your smartphone to escape the horrors you’ve been trapped within.
BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW will be released on 16th January 2026.
BrokenLore: Ascend
Our second BrokenLore title is BrokenLore: Ascend. Keeping to the first-person horror theme, Ascend brings a new climbing mechanic. Join Ren and Yui as a climb of the Tokyo Tower goes more than a little spooky… Though I guess if you want to go viral online, running into the terrifying Rokurokubi far above ground is a good way to do it.
BrokenLore: Ascend will be released in the summer of 2026.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake
Keeping with the horror theme, we got a look at the remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly next. It’s time to return to Minakami Village where a not-so-good ritual takes place. Though if you escape the village everything should be fine, but doing so will be a little more than difficult thanks to those creepy ghosts and other ghouls.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake will be released on 12th March 2026.
Dynasty Warriors: Origin Visions of Four Heroes DLC
Our next game was also from Koei Tecmo Games and it finally broke the horror game lineup the State of Play had been on. It did with this an electric guitar solo and footage of warriors smashing their way through hordes of enemies. That’s right – it was a look at the Dynasty Warriors: Origin Visions of Four Heroes DLC!
Dynasty Warriors: Origin Visions of Four Heroes DLC will be released on 22nd January 2026.
Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack DLC
It was then time to head to the race track to take a look at the Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack DLC. This update will bring a 24-hour race to offer what the developers hope will be a truly difficult racing experience.
The Gran Turismo 7 Power Pack DLC will be released on 4th December 2025.
MotionRec
MotionRec is an upcoming action puzzle game where you can use your recorded action to make your way past all types of obstacles. It’s got a cute retro look and some really cool looking mushrooms!
MotionRec will be released in Spring 2026.
Wandering Sword
Wandering Sword will be arriving on PlayStation 5 as a complete edition, so, if this game caught your eye in the past, know that this version comes will every piece of DLC. This pixel art game explores an open-world version of anicent China as you go on a quest to become a hero. Though there are 20 endings you could reach!
Wandering Sword will be released on 28th May 2026.
No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files
No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files follows the adventures of Kaname Date and the AI in his left eye. (Specsavers really pushing the boat out there…) He’s trying to track down the kidnapped internet idol, Iris, and that will involve solving a variety of different puzzles.
No Sleep For Kaname Date – From AI: The Somnium Files will be released on both PlayStation 5 and 4 on 26th February 2026.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
It was back to the race tracks again with Tokyo Xtreme Racer next! Though this time it’s more about racing though the streets of Tokyo rather than the track. You’ll also be able to use the Spirit Point system to break down your rival’s mindset and take first place!
Tokyo Xtreme Racer will be released on 26th February 2026.
Once Upon A Katamari DLC
Once Upon A Katamari is getting DLC! (Which means I had to listen to that really annoying sound again… Sorry. Not sorry.) The first is called Katamari Damacy Series Dance Dance Remixes, while the second is called Katamari Damacy Series Neo Remixes. Both will bring new music tracks and accessories to the game.
Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac: Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration Content
Sonic is going to be hanging out with Pac-Man in this DLC for Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac! You’ll be able to explore Sonic themed levels at Sonic speed while wearing a frankly terrifying Sonic costume as Pac-Man. Even Dr. Eggman has turned up for a boss battle.
Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac: Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration Content has been released today! That’s 11th November 2025.
More to come…..
