Sony State of Play event scheduled for September just got over and PlayStation users are in for some interesting new games this time around. The annual gaming event that happened last night showed off an array of new gaming titles that will be coming to PS4 and PS5 in the coming months.

Here is a list of all the big announcements made during Sony State of Play September:

The controller and the game will be available on November 9th.
Tekken 8
The fighting game Tekken is also getting a fresh update. Sony showed off the first trailer for Tekken 8 which is currently in development. The trailer was actually taken directly from a certain part in the current work-in-progress Tekken 8’s story mode, played on PlayStation 5, according to a PlayStation blog from Harada, Chief Producer of the Tekken Project. "It is not a pre-rendered movie made for the trailer but rather real-time rendered footage, running at 60 frames per second, similar to how you would experience the game in versus battle modes," he wrote. Tekken 8 is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC via Steam. Tekken 8 release date is yet to be announced.
Like a Dragon: Ishin!
From the creators of the famous Yakuza series, Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a samurai-themed game.
