Sony PlayStation's State of Play Event Scheduled for Next Week

Sony is gearing up for its traditional February PlayStation State of Play event, set to captivate fans during Valentine’s Day week, from February 10 to 14. This exciting news comes from the reliable leaker NateTheHate, who previously nailed the date for Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal.

As we eagerly await the event, speculation is rife about what Sony might showcase. Let's dive into the possibilities based on Sony's lineup of announced first-party titles slated for 2025. Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei is one to watch, with a potential reveal of gameplay and a release date on the horizon.

Bungie’s PvP extraction shooter, Marathon, could be poised for a spotlight, especially if it's gearing up for open playtesting this year. Haven Studios’ debut game, Fairgames, and Naughty Dog's new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, are also in the mix. Insomniac's Marvel’s Wolverine might make an appearance, while a new trailer for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach seems likely, given its 2025 release window.

However, don't expect to see the live service games Sony recently canceled, such as the unannounced titles from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games. The latter was reportedly working on a live-service God of War game. Meanwhile, Guerrilla Games' Horizon multiplayer project reportedly survived the cuts and could be ready for a reveal.

Turning to third-party announcements, Hideo Kojima's Physint, a stealth-action PlayStation exclusive, might be a bit premature for a showcase. However, Phantom Blade Zero, the action-packed RPG from S-Game, seems more likely to appear.

With Microsoft now a major player on PlayStation, there's buzz about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle possibly getting a release date. Could Microsoft also use the State of Play to announce Halo coming to PlayStation?

Looking back at last year's State of Play can give us a glimpse into what to expect. The event featured 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.
