God of War Trilogy Remake
Sony dropped a bombshell at the end of the event, confirming that the original God of War trilogy is being completely remade for the PlayStation 5.

This remake promises a powerful nostalgia trip for longtime fans and will introduce a new generation of players to Kratos’s origins.
God of War: Sons of Sparta
As if a remake wasn’t enough, Sony also announced God of War: Sons of Sparta, a 2D prequel game. This side-scrolling adventure focuses on a young Kratos and serves as a tribute to classic action-platformers. It offers a fresh experience for those looking to explore the series’ roots from a different perspective.
Silent Hill: Townfall
Horror fans, rejoice! Developed in collaboration with Annapurna Interactive, Silent Hill: Townfall was revealed as a first-person spin-off. The trailer confirms that the series’ signature psychological tension and unsettling atmosphere are fully intact. Prepare to return to the foggy streets.
John Wick The Game
In a stunning surprise, Lionsgate announced an official game for the legendary John Wick action series. The trailer suggests it will fully capture the franchise’s unique, intense, and stylized action. Gun-fu, close-quarters combat, and environmental takedowns appear to be central to the gameplay.
