The biggest surprise during the hour-long showcase was that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role as mega assassin John Wick in a new video game. The untitled game has been developed by Sabre Interactive who have worked “closely” with John Wick director Chad Stahelski.
The game is expected to be a prequel but all Sony have told fans is that “it is an original gameplay narrative that addresses a significant time in John Wick’s life, featuring well-known and iconic characters, as well as compelling new characters specifically created for this production.”
The release date is still to be confirmed but you can check out the gun-fu violence in action via a first-look trailer.
After being first revealed back in 2022, Silent Hill fans got their first proper look at upcoming game Townfall during the State Of Play.
“While the story and setting may differ from Silent Hill 2 or Silent Hill f, this game will still retain the feeling of Silent Hill that players are familiar with,” explained series producer Motoi Okamoto. “A rich narrative, challenging puzzles and moments of quick-thinking during stealth come together to craft a truly artisan experience. This game shines as one of the most aesthetic and sophisticated entries in the series.”
Elsewhere during the first State Of Play 2026, the PC launch of Death Stranding 2: On The Death was confirmed for March 19, new story trailers for Resident Evil Requiem (here) and 007: First Light (here) were shared while Star Wars: Galactic Racer got a new gameplay trailer (here).
