Sony's surprise State of Play stream last week contained few major announcements regarding PlayStation franchises.
10 Biggest Announcements from Summer Game Fest 2024

Released in February, “Helldivers 2” became PlayStation’s fastest-selling game in the console brand’s history, delivering a much-needed win after as many as six planned live services were delayed or canceled entirely.
