The February 2026 State of Play left many anticipating reveals waiting in the wings. Although the event delivered on some fronts, with announcements for games like Saros, Pragmata, and Resident Evil Requiem, several highly anticipated titles were notably absent.
Missing in Action: Wolverine and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
Expectations were high for a deeper dive into Marvel’s Wolverine. The game is slated for release in Fall 2026, making this a seemingly ideal time for Insomniac to showcase its progress. However, the mutant hero only appeared as a playable character in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. When will we spot more?
The logical next opportunity appears to be the Summer Game Fest on June 5th. For now, we’re left with what we already know: the game will present a Wolverine seeking answers about his past, with a combat system emphasizing a wild and brutal approach, all within an original story.
The absence of any news regarding Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet as well surprised many. Naughty Dog’s next major project was unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, but updates have been scarce. A lack of a release date suggests it may be too early for a substantial reveal.
No New Details on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3
Given Square Enix’s recent activity with the trilogy, including new versions of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Rebirth for Switch and Xbox, many anticipated news about the third installment. The game reportedly has a definitive title, though it remains unannounced. Rumors also suggest a potential multiplatform launch from the start.

However, we were left wanting more. Square Enix may be holding back for the Summer Game Fest. According to their statements, the game is likely in the final stages of development, so the wait shouldn’t be much longer. The company made no announcements during the event.
Also missing was any update on The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, which did receive news during the Nintendo Direct.
Still No Bloodborne News
Other absences were less surprising, but still disappointing. The community has long requested a remastered version of Bloodborne, but Sony has remained silent. FromSoftware has also offered no updates. Despite being a beloved game, it appears destined to remain on PlayStation 4.

The absence of GTA VI was also unsurprising. Rockstar continues to function on the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto saga, and has shared news and trailers selectively. The game’s immense popularity allows the company to control the flow of information.
Rockstar, and potentially the most anticipated game of all time, can do what it wants. There are no guarantees we’ll see anything at Summer Game Fest because, simply put, they don’t need to. They could release a trailer on their own terms, through their social media channels, whenever they choose and still dominate the internet.
