Sony is reportedly gearing up to unveil its eagerly awaited February PlayStation State of Play broadcast next week. According to the reliable leaker NateTheHate, who previously nailed the date for Nintendo’s Switch 2 reveal, the State of Play is set to take place during Valentine’s Day week, spanning from February 10 to 14.
As speculation mounts, fans are eagerly anticipating what Sony might showcase. A look at the first-party titles slated for 2025 provides some intriguing possibilities. Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Yotei is on the horizon with a 2025 release window, and fans might be treated to new gameplay footage and a concrete release date.
Bungie’s PvP extraction shooter Marathon could also make an appearance, especially if it's gearing up for playtesting this year. Haven Studios’ debut game Fairgames, Naughty Dog’s new IP Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine are all in the pipeline. Additionally, a fresh trailer for Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, slated for 2025, 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: a live-service God of War game from Bluepoint and another undisclosed title from Bend Studio. Meanwhile, Guerrilla Games' live service Horizon project reportedly survived the cut. Could this be the moment for its big reveal?
AnswerSee ResultsTurning to potential third-party announcements, Hideo Kojima's Physint, an upcoming stealth-action PlayStation exclusive, might be a bit premature for a reveal. However, Phantom Blade Zero, the action-packed hack-and-slash RPG from Chinese studio S-Game, seems more likely.
Don't overlook Microsoft, now a major player in publishing games for PlayStation. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is expected to hit PS5 soon, so a release date announcement could be on the cards. Could Microsoft also use the State of Play to announce Halo coming to PlayStation?
To predict what's next, it's useful to reflect on past events. 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.
