The Cast

When we think about combat in Fable, we think about more than defeating enemies. We think about giving players the tools to approach encounters in their own way, experiment with different abilities and create a Hero that feels unique to them and their preferred playstyle.

Today, we’re stoked to share with you our Features Trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine! Narrated by Liam McIntyre, who plays James “Logan” Howlett, here’s a slice of what’s coming to the game on September 15… that’s just a few short weeks away!   

So, check out the trailer and read on for additional insights.

When we decided to reunite the full Sex Bob-omb lineup for Scott Pilgrim EX – Back in the Band, available now, we knew that simply adding three new playable characters wasn’t enough. Stephen Stills, Kim Pine, and Knives Chau each needed to feel like they had always belonged in the game, both mechanically and visually.

Hello, PlayStation players! I’m Zhicheng, producer at GD Studio.

Our team has always been fascinated by the quiet stories that live inside ordinary rooms: the cup left beside a bed, a plant turned toward the window, or a dusty letter tucked behind a stack of books. These small details can tell us who lived there, what they cared about, and what they may be trying to forget.

That idea became Whisper of the House, a cozy organizing game where tidying is more than a satisfying task. It is also a way of listening. Today, we are opening the doors of Whisper Town to PS5 players.

Sniper Elite: Resistance | PS5, PS4

Offering unparalleled sniping mechanics, stealth and

Over the past several months, Sega has pulled back the curtain on many high-profile projects from its global studios. At Gamescom 2026, six of our titles will make their playable debut for the public: Total War: Warhammer 40,000, Persona 4 Revival, Crazy Taxi: World Tour, Stranger Than Heaven, Alien Isolation 2, and Sonic Pico Park. 

Here are some first gameplay details of what the attendees in Germany will experience starting today:

Persona 4 Revival

Developer: P-Studio

Persona 4 Revival is set in the peaceful-yet-unsettling rural town of Inaba as it’s struck by a series of bizarre murders. Players take on the role of a teenage transfer student as he and his friends solve supernatural mysteries connected to the Midnight Channel—a mysterious TV phenomenon that reveals dark secrets on rainy nights.

The hands-on demo that we are showing is built around three sections – fittingly named Channels – each meant to show off different parts of the remade adventure.

On Channel 1, players experience the story from the beginning and are dropped into the eerie Shopping District section. Explore the district and confront the first Shadow, Spiteful Hablerie, and awaken your Persona, Izanagi.

Channel 2 offers free exploration of P4R’s modernized dungeons. Set in Yukiko’s Castle, the dungeon’s battles prepare players for the section’s conclusion: a challenging boss fight against Shadow Chie and her Persona, Tomoe.

Press and creators have the exclusive chance to select Channel 3, which offers an extended look at daily life in Inaba. After a couple of in-game days poking around the town, players can venture into Yukiko’s dungeon. Within, they will experience the new Prime Time meter and utilize it to unleash explosive, combo-laden destruction.

Players around the world can experience this modernized take on the RPG classic when it comes to PlayStation 5 on February 18, 2027.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000

Developer: Creative Assembly

Total War is heading to the grim darkness of the far future with Total War: Warhammer 40,000. This entry marks the series’ first march onto PlayStation. In the Gamescom demo you take command of the Space Marines across three distinct scenarios that escalate in scale and difficulty.

The first scenario throws players straight into the maelstrom of combat while guiding them through the fundamentals of war. It covers core controls and gameplay basics such as camera movement, unit selection, combat, and all-new features such as the reinforcement system which allows drop pods to thunder down upon the enemy.

The second scenario opens with the new customization system, letting players forge a Space Marine army that feels uniquely theirs. Choose your colors, select your heraldry, name your force, and prepare them for conquest. From there, players move their army across a limited sectio
