Sony's latest State of Play event took place today, September 24, featuring 30+ minutes of news and announcements for more than 20 games. In this gallery, we're rounding up all the major announcements.
Sony treated viewers to an assortment of PS5 and PSVR 2 games from first- and third-party studios. The existence of the State of Play leaked ahead of time, as did one of the show's expected reveals, the Soul Reaver 1+2 remaster collection, which was subsequently confirmed during the briefing.
Perhaps the biggest news was saved for the end, when Sony announced a Ghost of Tsushima follow-up called Ghost of Yotei.
