Sony’s September 2026 State of Play delivered one of the year’s densest broadcasts, packing in everything from long-awaited sequels to surprise expansions across a wide range of genres. The showcase confirmed release windows for several heavily anticipated titles while also sneaking in a handful of genuine surprises for PS5 owners.
The headline reveal was easily Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, which closes out the Remake trilogy with a confirmed release date of April 8, 2027, alongside a story-extending DLC pushing the saga’s narrative into 2028 with Sephiroth and Vincent taking centre stage.

The sheer breadth of the showcase, spanning JRPGs, survival horror, mecha action and shark-based chaos in a single broadcast, underlines how far Sony has moved from the single-tentpole showcase format of previous console generations toward a portfolio approach designed to keep every major genre audience engaged simultaneously.
With multiple 2027 release dates already locked in, PS5 owners now have a fairly clear roadmap of what to expect through the first half of next year, even as several of the showcase’s biggest reveals, including Until Dawn 2, remain without a confirmed date.
