Sony is gearing up for its customary February PlayStation State of Play, set to air next week during Valentine's Day week, from February 10 to 14. The news comes from the reliable leaker NateTheHate, who previously pinpointed the reveal date for Nintendo’s Switch 2.
So, what tantalizing reveals might Sony have in store for this year's event? Let's dive into the announced first-party titles slated for 2025. Sucker Punch's eagerly awaited Ghost of Yotei is on the horizon with a 2025 release window. Fans might be treated to fresh gameplay footage and a solid release date announcement.
Bungie's PvP extraction shooter, Marathon, could also take the stage, especially if open playtesting is on the agenda for this year. Haven Studios' debut, Fairgames, is another potential highlight. Naughty Dog has just unveiled their new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, while Insomniac continues to craft Marvel's Wolverine. Perhaps most anticipated, a new trailer for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, due in 2025, could steal the show.
However, don't expect to see the recently canceled live service games from Sony. Last month, two unannounced projects from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games were axed. Bluepoint was reportedly working on a live-service God of War game, but Bend Studio's project remains under wraps. On the other hand, Guerrilla Games' live service Horizon project survived the cuts. Could this be the moment for its grand reveal?
AnswerSee ResultsTurning to 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 stylish hack-and-slash action RPG from Chinese studio S-Game, seems like a more likely candidate.
Don't forget about Microsoft, a major player now bringing games to PlayStation. With Indiana Jones and the Great Circle set to launch on PS5 soon, a release date announcement could be imminent. Could this also be the platform for Microsoft to announce Halo's debut on PlayStation?
To predict the future, it's often useful to look at the past. 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.
