June 2025 State of Play: All Announcements and Trailers

PlayStation’s State of Play just happened, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster. Game reveals everywhere, release dates thrown around like confetti. I watched, got distracted, watched again – you know the deal. Missed it? Let’s dive into this delightful chaos together.

Okay, if you really want to watch the whole show again – and trust me, you might after we’re done here – I put it right below. But, if you’re like me and prefer bite-sized morsels of info, relax. I’ve got each game featured, with a snippet of what’s up and their trailers. There’s even more detailed stuff from the creators themselves in the PS Blog articles. Yeah, they’ve got you covered like a warm blanket or… basically, whatever covers well.

First up, Astro Bot. New levels are dropping, and honestly, they sound like they’ll kick your butt. Five Vicious Void Galaxy levels? Sign me up for frustration and fun all rolled into one. Oh, and keep an eye out for a happy smiley Astro Bot DualSense controller. Just what I needed.

Ah, Baby Steps is coming this September. So, walking might sound boring, but this game takes it to a whole new level. Our boy Nate gets to, um, answer nature’s call? Comedy gold, folks.

Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement is back, and it’s cranking up the 2.5D goodness. Two new heroes, Leo and Alex, are diving into the Ethereal Castle. Button mashers rejoice, you’ll be switching heroes like it’s nobody’s business.

Cairn’s next in line, scaling the PS5 this November. Think survival climbing. It’s like real climbing, minus the actual danger of falling. A demo’s already up, so maybe give it a whirl.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Not exactly new, but boy, it’s vibrant and coming this October. Digimon growth and customization, like building blocks for grown-ups.

Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots. It’s golfing but wacky. Surprise! Pac-Man’s dropping by, all while you hit your birdies or double bogeys. Set your tees for September 5.

Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles lands at the end of September. Now, if you love strategy and nostalgia, this is your jam.

Sucker Punch is teasing more Ghost of Yōtei soon. Just drooling for that extended episode coming in July. Exploration, combat – basically everything fun about gaming.

Hirogami is folding its way to PS5 in September. It’s like playing with paper but cooler – you’re in an origami world, as a master artist no less. My arts & crafts teacher would’ve been proud. Maybe.

IO Interactive’s cooking up an origin story with 007 First Light. Young Bond, fresh and raw, straight into the secret agent biz.

Lumines Arise. Puzzles. Groovy music. Virtual reality? Could be a party or an introvert’s dream escape. Your call.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. One’s a fight fiesta in the Marvel universe, and the other’s a sneak peek at a classic remake. Heroes vs. Villains or Snake vs. Everyone. Tough choice.

Mortal Kombat Kollection’s diving deep into nostalgia, and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound blends the old school with new styles. Ragequit or not, action awaits.

Nioh 3 is bringing double trouble – Samurai and Ninja styles. Quick, strategic, and surely testing the limits of my hand-eye coordination. Demo’s out if you’ve got the guts.

PlayStation Plus is bursting with goodies. New games from old classics like Twisted Metal. Can’t get enough, really.

Pragmata. Two protagonists. One mission. More strategy than I care to admit keeping up with.

Project Defiant introduces PlayStation’s first wireless fight stick. Flex your controller arsenal, gamers.

Romeo is a Dead Man – caught somewhere between space and time. Grasshopper Manufacture gives us time traveling FBI madness. Confusing or intriguing? Your call.

Sea of Remnants promises pirate life and puppetfolk. Build your crew as you ride some very literal waves.

Silent Hill f. The fog is back, and Shimizu Hinako’s caught in it. September 25 marks a date to remember – or hide from, you pick.

Sword of the Sea is surfing onto PS5. Mythic waves and more digital oceans – it’s Giant Squid’s charming art style, and it’s a ride you’ll want to take.

Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. An iconic title now immersing you fully in another reality, literally. Shadowy stealth in PS VR2…I might trip over light switches now just practicing.

Tides of Tomorrow. The ocean’s big, the world’s post-apocalyptic. Choices you didn’t even make before affect you now – weirdly poetic in a way, huh?

And that’s the lowdown from this wild State of Play. So many stories, each crazier than the last. So, take a breath, watch, play, and cycle through as needed. Or, you know, just sit back and watch these gaming narratives unfold. Guess we’ll all find out together, one way or another.
