PlayStation State of Play to Showcase New Games Next Week

Sony's February PlayStation State of Play is anticipated next week, following the usual February schedule. Leaker NateTheHate, who accurately predicted the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date, hints at a State of Play airing during Valentine's Day week (February 10-14).

Speculation abounds regarding Sony's announcements. Several first-party titles slated for 2025 release are potential candidates. Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei could receive a gameplay showcase and release date reveal. Bungie's Marathon, a PvP extraction shooter, might also appear, particularly if playtesting plans remain on track for this year. Haven Studios' debut title, Fairgames, is another possibility. While less likely, new footage for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (also a 2025 release) is a strong contender.

Recent cancellations of unannounced live-service games from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games (reportedly a God of War live-service title) will not feature. However, Guerrilla Games' live-service Horizon project, which survived the cuts, could finally see its official unveiling.

Which PlayStation Game Are You Most Looking Forward to Seeing at Sony's Next State of Play?

Regarding third-party titles, while Kojima's Physint is in development, a reveal might be premature. Phantom Blade Zero, a hack-and-slash action RPG from S-Game, seems a more likely candidate.

Microsoft's presence on PlayStation shouldn't be overlooked. A release date for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny could be announced, and the possibility of a Halo port to PlayStation remains a topic of interest.

Looking back at last year's State of Play, which featured Death Stranding 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, the Until Dawn remaster, Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2, Sonic Frontiers, various Silent Hill projects, Judas, Foamstars, and Helldivers 2, provides a helpful context for predicting this year's announcements.
