Marvel's Wolverine in the spotlight in new State of Play: over an hour of PS5 news on June 2

Sony has announced that the next State of Play broadcast will take place on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. The stream will run over 60 minutes and will feature updates, announcements, and gameplay footage from top studios worldwide. Right at the start, viewers will get an extensive look at Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games.

Insomniac will showcase Logan's brutal and relentless combat, along with new details about the game. The game releases on September 15, 2026, for PS5. The release date is surprisingly early in the fall - a sign that development is in an advanced stage.

Marvel's Wolverine in the spotlight

It is no surprise that Sony is using Wolverine as the main attraction. This State of Play promises the first serious deep dive into the action, similar to how Insomniac previously showed off Spider-Man 2. I wonder if they will also show something of the open world or the storyline - but let's stick to the confirmed facts for now.

The broadcast starts on June 2 at 11:00 PM CEST (Central European Summer Time) and can be watched live on YouTube and Twitch. The stream is in English, with Japanese subtitles available. Sony warns that the broadcast may contain copyrighted music; creators who want to keep the stream as a VOD are advised to cut out those segments.

Watch parties and practical information

A surprising addition is the collaboration with Alamo Drafthouse. Free watch parties will be held in six US cities - Raleigh, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, and New York. Tickets become available on May 20 at 6:00 AM PT, but it's first come, first served. Whether this will also come to European cinemas has not been confirmed yet - I hope Sony rolls out this concept further.

This State of Play follows the successful February 2026 edition, which brought many announcements. Sony seems to be keeping up the pace with regular broadcasts. The focus on Wolverine makes sense, but I expect there will also be room for surprises from third-party developers - though none have been announced yet.
