This includes new reveals on some previously-released titles, and word on some new titles to look forward to, including remakes of some old Sony favourites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">In case you missed it, here\u2019s some of the highlights from the show.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-god-of-war-trilogy-remake-and-a-john-wick-game\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">A God of War trilogy remake and a John Wick game<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/G_tq12WisX8\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/G_tq12WisX8\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/G_tq12WisX8\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Perhaps the biggest news coming from the State of Play is the <b>God of War Greek trilogy remake<\/b> (that\u2019s the first three games of the series). Unfortunately, that it\u2019s being worked on is all we get to know, with no indications of a release date or window. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The trailer is certainly light on information. But hey, at least TC Carson, Kratos\u2019s original voice actor, gets to present the news to you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/eFhOo6NTt70\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/eFhOo6NTt70\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/eFhOo6NTt70\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It does, however, come alongside the release of <b>Sons of Sparta<\/b>, which forms a bit of a departure from the series \u2013 a 2D platformer that follows Kratos and Deimos in their youth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Despite the premise, Sons of Sparta\u2019s story is only single-player, with a co-op challenge mode being unlocked afterwards. Unlike the God of War remake, though, it\u2019s available for purchase now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/OhHvHrDBru8\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/OhHvHrDBru8\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/OhHvHrDBru8\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Another reveal with a TBA release date was that of a new <b>John Wick <\/b>game, developed by Saber Interactive. Unlike the God of War remake, however, there\u2019s quite a lot to be gleaned from both the announcement and trailer; it\u2019s billed as a AAA title, and despite the trailer not showing any on-engine gameplay, it shows off the direction that Saber is planning on taking with the title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As you can tell, the game will take a lot of inspiration from the movies. Just as well that Saber is working closely with Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves, the director and star of the franchise respectively, and film studio Lionsgate. No release date for this yet, however.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ghost-of-yotei-co-op-death-stranding-2-on-pc-and-other-highlights\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Ghost of Yotei co-op, Death Stranding 2 on PC, and other highlights<\/h2>\n<div class=\"_embedContainer_wioo3_16\">\n<div class=\"_container_1stzb_1\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/5VYyhow-EU8\/sddefault.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/5VYyhow-EU8\/hqdefault.jpg\" type=\"image\/jpeg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_facade_1stzb_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/5VYyhow-EU8\/hqdefault.jpg\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/picture><button class=\"_playButton_1stzb_12\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"_playButtonText_1stzb_39\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">If you liked last year\u2019s Ghost of Yotei (we sure did in our review), you might be pleased to know that free DLC <b>Ghost of Yotei: Legends<\/b> will be arriving on 10 March as part of the game\u2019s 1.5 version update. Legends introduces online co-op to the title, with features to look forward to including multiple game modes and four classes to play as.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">For a less traditional multiplayer experience, Hideo Kojima\u2019s <b>Death Stranding 2: On the Beach<\/b> will be making its way to PC on 19 March. Fans of Kojima\u2019s strand game vision might find the announcement of \u201cnew modes and features\u201d on both desktop and home consoles to be intriguing, especially as new information about them will only be revealed over the next month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Meanwhile, Bungie\u2019s new extraction shooter <b>Marathon<\/b>, will kick off its release with a server slam running from 26 February to 2 March. The event does take place a week before the game\u2019s actual release (6 March), but Bungie says that it\u2019s meant to stress-test the game. Players can look forward to rewards like a unique emblem and player banner to mark their participation, and of course, being able to experience part of the game before release.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Konami\u2019s new Master Collection Vol. 2 will make Metal Gear Solid 4 available outside of the PS3 for the first time.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/232598131c5becd92fd39f342abe8b14f42aae25a7700513b53ed60a13d5c940?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/232598131c5becd92fd39f342abe8b14f42aae25a7700513b53ed60a13d5c940?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/232598131c5becd92fd39f342abe8b14f42aae25a7700513b53ed60a13d5c940?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/232598131c5becd92fd39f342abe8b14f42aae25a7700513b53ed60a13d5c940 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/232598131c5becd92fd39f342abe8b14f42aae25a7700513b53ed60a13d5c940?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">Konami\u2019s new Master Collection Vol. 2 will make Metal Gear Solid 4 available outside of the PS3 for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Konami.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">To round it off, we have Konami\u2019s series of announcements; <b>Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2<\/b>, which contains MGS4, Peace Walker and Ghost of Babel, a new <b>Castlevania <\/b>entry titled <b>Belmont\u2019s Curse<\/b>, and <b>Rev.
