Sony’s Upcoming PlayStation State of Play: What to Expect
Sony has just announced an exciting new PlayStation State of Play set to take place tonight, September 24, at 3 PM PDT, 6 PM EDT, and 11 PM BST. Fans eagerly await what the tech giant has in store, as the presentation promises insights into "more than 20" upcoming games for the PS5 and PS VR 2. While not all games showcased will be exclusives, it’s expected that many will be notable titles from various studios across the globe.
The gaming community, however, is buzzing with a mix of excitement and skepticism about the potential announcements. A common humor floating around is the expectation that the majority of these games will be remasters—perhaps even “remasters of remasters.” While there’s likely some truth to this, fans are hoping for a fresh lineup rather than a wave of recycled content. Rumors suggest that at least one major title could receive a remaster, but will it meet fan expectations?
What are supporters hoping to see at this State of Play? Here are some high-demand possibilities:
- Insomniac’s Venom (though unconfirmed)
- Insomniac’s Wolverine
- A sequel to Ghost of Tsushima
- New projects from Naughty Dog, potentially a sci-fi game or The Last of Us Part 3
- The next installment in the God of War series
- A multiplayer component for Horizon
- Updates on Bungie’s Marathon and their codename project Gummy Bears
- A preview of upcoming content for Destiny 2: Frontiers
- A significant expansion for Helldivers 2
- Rumors about a new Batman Arkham game, which might catch Sony’s interest
- A revival of classic franchises like Resistance, Killzone, or SOCOM
- The elusive Concord 2 (a humorous nod among fans)
However, it’s important to note that there’s a possibility that none of the highly sought-after titles will make an appearance, given how quickly this event was organized. Sony has multiple projects shrouded in secrecy, contrasting sharply with Microsoft, which has been more transparent about its lineup. The expectation remains that we might see remasters alongside several third-party titles that fall under marketing agreements.
Nevertheless, Sony is currently enjoying a successful phase with the recent release of Astro Bot, a game that has already emerged as a strong contender for Game of the Year (GOTY) while celebrating the legacy of the PlayStation brand. Even though it may not top sales charts, it underscores Sony’s commitment to delivering high-quality exclusive games that capture the hearts of players.
As the clock ticks down to the State of Play, gamers are hopeful that this presentation will quench their thirst for new content and exciting announcements. It remains to be seen what reveals will take place, but anticipation is in the air. Don’t miss out as Sony showcases what promises to be an eventful evening for PlayStation fans worldwide.
