However, Sony noted in the blog post that the showcase will not include updates on the next God Of War, Horizon Forbidden West or the next generation of PlayStation VR, so fans will know what not to expect.

The previous State of Play showcase from May revealed the first gameplay footage for Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Forbidden West. The footage showed off protagonist Aloy swimming, gliding and taking down enormous machines while the cinematics touched on the narrative details for the sequel.

In a separate interview, Guerrilla developers confirmed that the player will be able to climb everything in the environment without being held down by restrictions.

Elsewhere, Bethesda recently revealed the next Arkane Studios game during E3 2021, Redfall. Here’s everything we know about the open-world co-op FPS so far.
