2017’s Code Vein left players on a massive cliffhanger that they (including myself) might have thought would go unresolved forever. Still, Bandai Namco has finally answered their prayers – Code Vein II is finally coming in 2026. The first game was a Soulslike that placed player-created characters in a post-apocalyptic world where monsters roamed the streets of the ruined city, and asked them to piece together for themselves how exactly the world came to be so destroyed.

Silent Hill f, effectively the final piece of major content that was announced with the Silent Hill revival a few years ago, has finally received not only a very shiny cinematic trailer, but a launch date. This entry sets itself apart from the rest of the series for multiple reasons – it’s set in Japan rather than America, and it’s been written and crafted by Ryukishi07, the creator of Higurashi and Umineko, two extremely popular and influential horror-mystery kinetic novel titles.

The June 2025 State of Play presentation delivered a surprisingly huge new trailer for Digimon Story: Time Stranger that capped off with the game’s release date, something that didn’t even get shown at the game’s own branded livestream a few months ago: October 3rd, 2025. The game was originally announced at the previous State of Play event, and was later detailed to be a story taking place evenly between the real and Digital World.

The team behind the extremely popular Tetris Effect: Connected opened today’s State of Play with a surprise revival of a franchise that hasn’t gotten a proper new entry in over a decade, Lumines Arise. Lumines is a music-puzzle genre hybrid series that began life on the PSP. The game features a unique gameplay system that sees a “time line” sweeping horizontally across the screen to clear blocks that have been arranged by the player into 2×2 color squares.

I think it’s fair to say that Lies of P captured a lot of attention and imaginations when it dropped in the fall of 2023. Any game trailer that looks even vaguely Bloodborne-esque tends to have gamers foaming at the mouth (myself included), but the idea of a public-domain-character Soulslike sounded equally silly and promising.
