Saros Dated, Kratos DualSense Revealed

Sony’s Sept. 24 State of Play was a roughly 35-minute livestream that marked God of War’s 20th anniversary and focused on gameplay and release updates across first‑party, third‑party and indie titles. The show unveiled a limited‑edition Kratos-themed DualSense PS5 controller priced at $84.99, with pre-orders starting Oct. 3 and regional release timing to follow. Housemarque’s Saros — starring Rahul Kohli and described as a spiritual evolution of Returnal — received a nearly five‑minute PS5 gameplay segment and was given a confirmed PS5 release date of March 20, 2026. The broadcast also delivered release windows and trailers for a range of third‑party and cross‑platform games, including Zero Parades, Battlefield 6 and ports such as Microsoft Flight Simulator. Fans were disappointed the show didn’t reveal a new Santa Monica Studios mainline God of War, and rumors continue about the franchise’s next direction, but Sony’s showcase largely offered curated updates, indies and multiplatform news rather than blockbuster exclusives.
