According to known insider Jeff Grubb, a PlayStation State of Play is planned for September, specifically near the end of the month. This news comes from Game Mess Mornings, where Grubb says he is comfortable sharing a possible State of Play or PlayStation Showcase reveal.
“They’re planning a State of Play, or maybe, a Showcase, but probably a State of Play for the end of September or before the end of September,” Grubb said.
Grubb also discusses Fairgame$ and whether or not it will be seen at this State of Play or at all. Sony’s live-service heist game has been the target of controversy and uncertainty for quite some time now. However, some other obvious candidates could appear.
With Ghost of Yotei approaching its October 2nd release date, it will more than likely be shown during a September State of Play. Sony and Sucker Punch have released several videos to promote it, and this event seems like the final chance to drive up hype for the game.
Other possibilities could be a look at Santa Monica Studio’s new game. Insomniac’s Wolverine could make an appearance, or maybe even Saros by House Marque. Naturally, soulslike fans are clamoring for an appearance of Bloodborne 2, taking their usual place alongside Hollow Knight: Silksong fans. Even Marathon is being tossed around as being shown during this rumored State of Play.
Sony has a bright future ahead of it, though some fans are cautious based on its new business model. Helldivers 2 is the first Sony title to make its journey from PlayStation 5 to Xbox Series X/S. However, it is important to treat these rumors and leaks with a grain of salt. Even insiders like Grubb have been known to be off the mark, and this could be another example.
