The State of Play: A Game Developer’s Update
As the snow flurries settle over the video game industry, publishers are laying out their roadmaps for 2026 and beyond. This February PlayStation State of Play was packed with announcements that left fans both excited and intrigued.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora
Ember Lab, the developers behind Kena: Bridge of Spirits, announced a sequel to their critically acclaimed 3D action platformer. Kena: Scars of Kosmora will release in 2026 for PlayStation and PC. The game follows an older, more experienced Kena who now helps living people as a spirit guide, equipped with a new staff and her fox-like spirit companion, which seemingly evolves into a mount later in the adventure.
Ghost of Yōtei Legends
Alongside Patch 1.5, Ghost of Yōtei Legends is set to release on March 10 for PlayStation 5. This four-player online cooperative multiplayer mode features four playable classes and allows players to team up to defeat the demonic Yōtei Six.
Death Stranding 2
Kojima Productions is bringing Death Stranding 2 to PC less than a year after releasing the esteemed sequel on PlayStation 5. The port includes quality-of-life improvements such as unlocked framerates, ultra-wide support, DualSense controller support, upscaling, and frame generation.
Control: Resonant
In a new gameplay reveal trailer, developer Remedy Entertainment showcases Dylan Faden’s traversal powers as the protagonist runs across the sides of buildings in an alternate version of Manhattan. The folding cityscape is reminiscent of strange but gripping scenes from movies like Inception or Dr. Strange.
As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, these announcements set the stage for a year filled with new adventures, challenges, and innovations.
From Kena’s journey back in time to Dylan Faden’s urban explorations, there’s plenty to keep gaming enthusiasts engaged. Stay tuned for more updates from the PlayStation State of Play.
