God of War Remake, Project Windless, and Metal Gear Solid 4 Headline February State of Play
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Sony's February 2026 State of Play delivered major announcements, including a God of War original trilogy remake, the MGS4 port on PS5, Saber's John Wick game, and Project Windless.
Sony kicked off 2026 with a massive State of Play broadcast, delivering over 30 trailers, gameplay reveals, and release dates that quickly dominated social feeds and creator discussions. The showcase opened with a surprise shadow drop of God of War: Sons of Sparta, a retro 2D side-scroller designed to tide fans over while we wait for the officially announced remake of the original Greek mythology trilogy. Kratos is clearly having a busy year, and the prospect of experiencing where the saga started with modern fidelity is a major win for both veteran players and newer generations jumping into the lore.
Beyond Kratos, the presentation was packed with major surprises like Kena 2: Scars of Kosmora, an action-packed John Wick adaptation from Saber Interactive, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. Konami continues its impressive redemption arc by finally freeing Metal Gear Solid 4 from its PlayStation 3 prison as part of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 for PS5. Horror fans also got a fresh look at the deeply unsettling Silent Hill Townfall, proving that publishers are leaning hard into dark, atmospheric storytelling across current hardware.
We also got an extended look at Project Windless, an ambitious open-world action RPG based on a popular Korean fantasy series that brings a genuinely fresh aesthetic to the genre. As reported by IGN South Africa in their recent Beyond episode hosted by Max Scoville, Nick Limon, Brian Altano, and Nick Maillet, the sheer volume of high-profile announcements signals a strong start to the gaming calendar. Between unexpected franchise returns and massive new IPs, players across console and PC have plenty of heavy hitters to add to their watchlists and battle pass budgets over the coming months.
