Sony is reportedly set to host its much-anticipated February PlayStation State of Play next week, during Valentine’s Day week, from February 10 to 14. This exciting news comes from reliable leaker NateTheHate, who previously accurately predicted the reveal date for Nintendo’s Switch 2.
As speculation mounts, let's dive into what Sony might showcase during this year's event. Sony has a lineup of first-party titles slated for release in 2025, and fans are eager for updates. Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei is one to watch, with a potential reveal of new gameplay and a specific release date. Bungie’s PvP extraction shooter, Marathon, might also make an appearance, especially if it's gearing up for playtesting this year. Haven Studios' debut game, Fairgames, could be highlighted, along with Naughty Dog's fresh IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Insomniac's Marvel’s Wolverine. A new trailer for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, set for a 2025 release, seems highly probable.
However, don't expect to see any of the recently canceled live service games from Sony. Last month, Sony axed two unannounced projects from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, including a rumored live-service God of War game. While Bend Studio's project remains undisclosed, Guerrilla Games' live service Horizon game reportedly dodged the cut. Could this be the moment for its grand reveal?
AnswerSee ResultsMoving to potential third-party announcements, Hideo Kojima's Physint, an upcoming stealth-action PlayStation exclusive, might be too early for a reveal. However, Phantom Blade Zero, the action-packed hack-and-slash RPG from Chinese studio S-Game, could be a more likely candidate.
Don't forget Microsoft, now a key player in publishing games for PlayStation. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to hit PS5 soon, and a release date announcement at the State of Play could be on the cards. Could Microsoft also use this platform to announce Halo coming to PlayStation?
In predicting future events, looking at past showcases can be insightful. Last year’s State of Play featured titles like Death Stranding 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, the Until Dawn remaster, Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2, Sonic x Shadow Generations, various Silent Hill projects, Ken Levine’s Judas, Foamstars, and Helldivers 2.
