September’s PlayStation State of Play unveiled new trailers for The Last of Us Part II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Wattam, and much more.
This month’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast was a huge improvement on Sony’s previous efforts in March and May. It still lacked the off-beat charm found in a Nintendo Direct but the 20 minute-long show cut to the chase with a steady stream of new game trailers and reveals.
The highlight was new footage and release date confirmation for Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II but there were also strong appearances from games including Wattam, Arise, and Afterparty.
You can watch the PlayStation State of Play for September again right here, or scroll down the page for a quick rundown of all the announcements.
