Sony's anticipated February PlayStation State of Play broadcast is reportedly slated for next week. NateTheHate, a leaker with a proven track record (including accurately predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date), hinted at a State of Play during Valentine's Day week (February 10th-14th).
So, what might Sony unveil? Let's consider their 2025 first-party releases. Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island (assuming "Yotei" is a typo) is a strong contender for a gameplay showcase and release date announcement. Bungie's Marathon, the PvP extraction shooter, could also make an appearance, particularly if playtesting plans remain on track for this year. Haven Studios' debut title, Fairgame, is another possibility. While less likely, new footage for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (also slated for 2025) is certainly within the realm of possibility. Naughty Dog's newly announced IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Insomniac's Marvel's Wolverine are less likely to feature prominently.
However, recently cancelled live-service titles are definitely off the table. Sony axed two unannounced live-service games from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games last month (the latter reportedly a God of War title). Bend Studio's project remains undisclosed, while Guerrilla Games' Horizon live-service game reportedly survived the cuts—could this be its time to shine?
AnswerSee ResultsRegarding third-party titles, Kojima Productions' Physint (a stealth-action PlayStation exclusive) might be too early for a major reveal. Phantom Blade Zero, the action RPG from S-Game, seems a more likely candidate.
And let's not forget Microsoft's presence on PlayStation. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is coming to PS5; a release date announcement is possible. Could State of Play also mark the long-awaited arrival of Halo on PlayStation?
Looking back at last year's State of Play offers clues. It showcased titles like 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.
