We've been eating good for game news over the last 24 hours! Both Sony and Microsoft kicked off the Tokyo Game Show with streams full of announcements and updates to their slate of upcoming games. We were treated to a whirlwind of reveals, trailers, and release dates for games from both platform holders and 3rd party publishers. From Marvel’s Wolverine reveal to Forza Horizon 6 hitting the streets of Japan, here’s a roundup of the biggest announcements from Tokyo Game Show 2025!
Sony State of Play Highlights (September 24, 2025)
Sony’s State of Play showcase packed over a dozen announcements, blending first-party heavyweights with indie surprises. Here are some of the biggest reveals from their stream, starting with a couple PS5 exclusives coming next year.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac Games unveiled a bloody, action-packed gameplay reveal for Marvel’s Wolverine, with a look at some awesome combat snippets as well as the dynamic chase and movement sequences we are accustomed to from the Spiderman games. This looks like classic Wolverine, expect gore, (seriously they are pulling no punches with this one) as well as X-Men cameos like Mystique and Omega Red, and that glorious vintage yellow suit. Our next good look at this one will likely come at the showcase Sony has planned for Spring 2026. (Fall 2026, PS5)
Saros
Housemarque’s Returnal follow-up, Saros, dazzled with nearly five straight minutes of bullet-hell third-person shooter gameplay. Players will have access plenty of options for keeping a run going, from dashing through bullets, using a solar shield to absorb attacks, and a “Second Chance” revive mechanic on first death. This looks like another great action game to add to your list. (March 20, 2026, PS5)
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
While it feels strange to even say this, Microsoft Flight Simulator will be released soon on Playstation 5. No longer an Xbox exclusive, this flight sim lands on PS5 with this Holiday with PSVR 2 support coming soon. Now, Playstation players will be able to live out their flying dreams too. (December 8, 2025, PS5)
Battlefield 6 - Campaign Trailer
Dice gave us a first look at the single-player campaign where you'll step into the boots of Dagger 13, an elite squad of Marine Raiders. This campaign looks like a great return to form for the Battlefield series, with epic set piece battles and tons of destruction. And it should be perfect addition to the epic multiplayer battles Battlefield is known for. (October 10, 2025, PS5, Xbox, and PC)
Crimson Desert
Pearl Abyss's open-world action game, Crimson Desert, dropped a trailer showing off its fantastic graphics and some epic swordplay. This definitely looks like one to watch, and we thankfully won't have to wait too much longer. (March 19, 2026)
Deus Ex Remastered
A surprise remaster of the cyberpunk classic as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. This remaster makes the game playable on modern consoles and brings enhanced visuals. (February 5, 2026, PS5)
Code Vein 2
Bandai Namco’s gothic action-RPG sequel showed off new gameplay, with a ton of crazy enemy and character designs. (January 30, 2026, PS5)
Gran Turismo 7 - SPEC III
The Gran Tursimo series reached an incredible milestone this summer as it surpassed 100 Million units sold over its lifetime. In celebration of this achievement a major update for Gran Turismo 7, titled SPEC III, is coming our way in December. The update includes new tracks, cars, events, and driving updates. I'm looking forward to this one. (December 2025)
Nioh 3
Do you like 3rd person action games? If so, Playstation definitely has you covered. Team Ninja’s samurai epic confirmed its release date with a new trailer, promising intense combat nearly six years after its predecessor released. (February 6, 2026, PS5)
Zero Parades - For Dead Spies
ZA/UM’s Disco Elysium follow-up revealed detective-style RPG gameplay, and it looks like a great evolution of Disco. Hopefully we'll get more info on this one soon. (2026, PS5, PC)

Xbox’s TGS broadcast, streamed in the overnight hours here in the US, focused on Japanese-developed titles and global surprises, with over 30 minutes of reveals and a massive 400+ game sale. You can check out the deals on the Xbox Store
Forza Horizon 6
Playground Games revealed Forza Horizon 6, which will be set in Japan, with a short teaser trailer. We don't have much to go on yet, but the Forza series has been a great one so hopefully this edition will be as well. (2026, Xbox Series X|S, PC)
Ninja Gaiden 4
Team Ninja and Platinum Games are working together to bring the Ninja Gaiden series to modern consoles. They treated us to a trailer showing off great gameplay footage as well as information on the difficulty modifiers you can apply to always keep the game right on your level. We'll be able to check this one out in more detail next month! (October 21 2025)
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
We got two looks at the next Call of Duty, one trailer showed off new Japanese-inspired multiplayer maps, and the other gave us a look at the fan-favorite Zombies mode featuring zombie bears, crazy weapons, and one heck of a pickup truck. We included the Zombies trailer, because.... Zombies are awesome. (October 24, 2025, Xbox, PS5, PC)
Monster Hunter Stories Series
Capcom is bringing the entire Monster Hunter Stories series to Xbox. Prior to the release of upcoming Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, both previous games in the series will be made available so players can get up to speed on the story. You can even receive a discount by preordering the first two games during TGS. (November 14, 2025)
