IGN posted that Sony concluded its State of Play for September 2026. The presentation contained no footage or updates on Naughty Dog's Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet. Several additional first-party PlayStation games that fans anticipated also remained absent from the lineup. An IGN article repeated the observation and ran under a headline that framed the title as the lead example among multiple no-shows. The original post carried an attached image described as a close-up cinematic screenshot of a bald female character wearing a glossy red jacket and drinking from a translucent cup.
