One of the most significant reveals came right at the end, with Santa Monica Studio confirming the God of War Trilogy Remake. This project will bring the original trilogy of games to modern hardware, though it remains in early development. Perhaps even more surprising was the immediate release of God of War: Sons of Sparta, a new 2D side-scrolling adventure that explores Kratos’s early years as a Spartan warrior. This title, which had been the subject of intense online rumors, became available to play right after the show.
The presentation also served as a major platform for Konami, which took over a segment to announce several key projects. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 was officially revealed, finally bringing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Peace Walker to modern consoles when it launches on August 27. In addition, fans saw a new trailer for the atmospheric Silent Hill: Townfall and the announcement of Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, a new side-scrolling entry marking the series’ return after a long hiatus.
As expected, several upcoming PlayStation Studios titles received prominent updates. Bungie showcased a new launch trailer for Marathon, the sci-fi extraction shooter set to release on March 5, alongside details for a “Server Slam” preview weekend. Housemarque’s Saros, the spiritual successor to Returnal, received an extensive gameplay deep dive, highlighting its intense bullet-hell action. Furthermore, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was confirmed to be joining the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game catalog later this month.
The showcase was filled with other notable reveals and release dates. Fans of cinematic action got a new look at Remedy’s Control: Resonant, while Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls locked in an August 6 release date. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is getting a sequel titled Scars of Kosmora, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach received a PC release date of March 19. New projects like the intriguing Project Windless and the anime-style Rev.Noir also made their debut, ensuring there was something for every type of gamer in this extensive presentation.
