Everything announced in Sony’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast in September 2022

Sony’s State of Play September 2022 broadcast is over! In case you missed it, here’s everything Sony announced on its 20-minute broadcast, from Tekken 8 to God of War Ragnarok – including all the trailers.

State of Play kicked off with a trailer for Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8, captured on PlayStation 5. Tekken veterans Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima bumped into the rain. Yes, it’s a new Tekken!

Next, a game for PSVR2: Star Wars Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge Enhanced Edition. This one comes out next year.

And here’s another new PSVR2 game: the tabletop RPG-style dungeon crawler, Demeo.

Sega has shown off a PS5 version of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin, available outside of Japan for the first time in February 2023.


Warner Bros has shown a new trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter game, Hogwarts Legacy. There is a PlayStation-exclusive Haunted Hogsmeade shop quest.

Let’s move on ! This is Ironwood’s first game, Pacific Drive, which will be released in 2023 on PS5 and PC. It is a first-person driving survival game set in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Sony then mentioned PlayStation Stars, its new loyalty program. It includes “digital collectibles” of well-known PlayStation items, some of which you can see in the video. It will be released later this month.

Next up is a new mechanical third-person sci-fi shooter called Synduality. It’s from Bandai Namco and it’s due out next year.

Here’s a “PS5 console exclusive,” as Sony put it (which suggests it’s also coming to PC at some point): Stellar Blade is an action game that reminds me of Bayonetta. It was made by Korean studio Shift Up and was codenamed Project Eve, if you remember that announcement from 2019. It will be released in 2023.


Here’s another PS5 console exclusive: Rise of the Ronin is a side-scrolling action RPG from Team Ninja. It is due out in 2024.


State of Play ended with the reveal of a God of War Ragnarok DualSense controller…

…and a new trailer for the game itself.


That’s it! Short and sweet, and focused on Japan, as Sony said. What did you think of the situation? Something catches your eye?
