The next State of Play is just around the corner and should be announced soon, with its air date becoming increasingly clear.
News has been pretty hot around Sony lately. Between Concord’s historic admission of failure, an Astro Bot acclaimed by rave reviews, a PS5 Pro that should be revealed soon, and the upcoming State of Play, the Japanese giant is on all fronts. In any case, new rumors about the next event have clarified the very likely release date. An imminent announcement?
A State of Play full of expected announcements?
The date for the next State of Play seems to be getting closer. A week ago, journalist Jeff Grubb added fuel to the fire. “By the end of September, there will probably be a State of Play – not a PlayStation Showcase.”. Rumor has it that it could take place before the Tokyo Game Show 2024, which will take place from September 26 to 29, 2024. If you believe insider Lunatic Ignus, who revealed that DLC is already planned for the very good Black Mythos Wukong, the next SOP would take place on September 19 and 20, 2024, depending on the schedule.
« State of Play will take place on September 19-20, 2024. It will be a pretty big SOP that will feature first-party games, including a world preview, which I’m waiting for. Although I’m not 100% sure of that ». What would this big premiere be and which PlayStation Studios exclusives could be presented? In the most plausible scenario, we can possibly expect a trailer for Death Stranding 2, which will be released on PS5 in 2025. After that, it’s much more vague.
Fairgame$, the next gaming service from Sony Interactive Entertainment, may appear at State of Play. After the monumental flop of Concord, journalist Christopher Dring, director of GamesIndustry.biz, said he heard “Good things about Jade Raymond’s game”. And after that? Actually, we can imagine anything.
Could the next Naughty Dog game be unveiled at a future State of Play? Why not. Obviously, the development of The Last of Us 3 would take a little more shape and the studio would have a new license in the works. The same goes for Santa Monica Studio, which would work with at least two licenses after Ragnarok. It would be a new God of War game and a completely new franchise. In theory, Sucker Punch has been working on Ghost of Tsushima 2 for some time, so we could also learn more. Before this event, Lunatic Ignus believes Sony could also unveil the PS5 Pro.
