- Insider mentions another PlayStation State of Play happening in May 2026.
- This is just 3 months after the recent February event.
- Expect a plethora of first-party game reveals and updates at the event.
SIE just held a PlayStation State of Play event a couple of days ago, spanning 60 minutes with various reveals and game updates. However, the standout reveal at the event was the announcement of the God of War trilogy remake and the new shadowdropped God of War metroidvania game.
Now, the gaming giant is reportedly planning another event soon. A reliable insider expects a second PlayStation State of Play in May 2026, where we may learn more about their upcoming first-party games.
Why it matters: PlayStation’s first-party slate has been relatively drier compared to past generations. Moreover, their upcoming announced titles have no follow-up details, so we expect to learn more about them at the event.
In a ResetEra thread, reliable insider Shinobi602 mentioned the possibility of Cory Barlog’s new project appearing at the upcoming gaming showcase, and also noted that Sony is planning a second State of Play event in May.
It’s a surprise to see Sony pairing 2 events so closely, with only around 3 months between. It makes sense, however, since there are many SIE projects we didn’t hear about during the February event.
As such, expect the May State of Play to lean towards first-party projects. As mentioned above, Cory Barlog is developing a new game in addition to the God of War remakes, which are expected to be revealed soon.
Marvel’s Wolverine also has yet to announce a final release date, and we can hope to learn more about Insomniac’s project then, since the release is now just months away, scheduled in Fall.
If we’re lucky, Naughty Dog can drop a development update for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, although that seems unlikely considering the release is still far off.
Lastly, Take-Two CEO did mention that GTA 6 marketing will kick off in the summer season and with the rumors suggesting that they have a partnership with PlayStation for the game’s marketing, expect Trailer 3 to drop at the event even if the May period is technically spring.
Other than that, naturally, there will be third-party reveals and updates at the event too.
