- Sony is reportedly hosting its next PlayStation State of Play presentation in February.
- This tidbit comes from a credible insider with a good track record with similar leaks in the past.
- The SoP may feature titles like Control Resonant and Intergalactic, alongside new project reveals.
Ghost of Yotei was PlayStation’s only major first-party title to launch last year. So, many fans have been asking for Sony’s next State of Play or a full-fledged Showcase event to see what’s coming in the future.
While the Showcase would be a great treat since it’s been gone for many years, a trusted insider confirms that Sony is preparing a State of Play for February instead. Still, we could be getting an in-depth look into highly awaited titles like Control Resonant.
Why it matters: Sony’s expected PlayStation State of Play presentation may win back some of the goodwill from the community, as many gamers criticized the publisher for its scarce first-party portfolio last year.
Popular leaker NateTheHate2 on Twitter confirms that a State of Play presentation is coming next month.
An in-depth look into Wolverine seems unlikely since Insomniac previously said it’d show more of the game during the spring, but we may still get a small glimpse. A deeper look into Naughty Dog’s controversial Intergalactic IP is also being anticipated.
The Santa Monica team could also unveil more information about that rumored 2.5D Metroidvania GoW spin-off at the event, or perhaps a separate secret AAA project being directed by Cory Barlog, which is said to be its ‘next big thing.’
Additionally, the State of Play may feature a reveal trailer for the Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 remake, with more information being expected for Summer Game Fest.
Similarly, new first-party reveals from Bluepoint and Bend Studio are also being expected. These teams have been silently working on projects over the years while suffering cancellations.
The same insider also leaked the event last year. Regardless, we still suggest taking the rumor mill with a pinch of salt until an official confirmation.
