This then puts it in the same genre as Arc Raiders, and while that game has done exceptionally well, it hasn\u2019t kicked off from an esports perspective.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Then, there\u2019s Star Wars: Galactic Racers, which could potentially have some esports life in it as a racer, but it\u2019s a bit of an unknown quantity, given its nature as a Star Wars game. It does look very fun so far, however.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The real highlight comes from the fighting game community. The Marvel T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls announcement was expected, given that it\u2019s a PlayStation Studios game, and seeing the X-Men, as well as having confirmation for its debut roster size, bodes very well. With <a href=\"https:\/\/esportsinsider.com\/2xko-what-layoffs-mean\">2XKO\u2019s troubles<\/a>, Marvel T\u014dkon could end up being the dominant tag-fighter of 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>The surprise came from Dead or Alive making a comeback. DOA 6: Last Round would raise enough eyebrows on its own, but the announcement of a new title in the series means that Team Ninja is continuing to invest in Dead or Alive. With a Virtua Fighter being worked on too, and Tekken 8 still going, fighting games look to be thriving for 3D, not just 2D.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion\u00a0<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>PlayStation State of Play 2026 was a big one, having a lot to show off and is painting a healthy picture for the PS5 for the rest of the year. Fighting games got a particular highlight from an esports perspective, especially given how niche the community is, and Konami seemed to come to the event in force.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n<p>Still, there were some notable exceptions. Many hoped for news on Final Fantasy 7 Remake part 3, yet Square Enix had nothing to show. This could mean that news is being saved for the Summer season, although this State of Play for February has been meaty enough without Square Enix, especially with Capcom and Konami picking up the slack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"esi-heading \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions\">\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__item\">\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__question\">\n<h3>What games were announced at PlayStation State of Play?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"frequently-asked-questions__answer\">\n<p>Some of the new games announced at State of Play were: Kena Scars of Kosmora, Crimson Moon, Project Winless, Yakoh Shinobi Ops, Castlevania: Belmont\u2019s Curse, Silent Hill: Downfall, Rev.
