At 5PM on June 4th, Sony will be having a State of Play. It was rumored for a while, but it was officially confirmed on June 3rd. Personally I wish they’d give more notice. Since it’s all digital now and not shown a theater like E3’s conferences were, they don’t really need to, since people will only watch whenever they want to from the comfort of their home.
There will be a special Death Stranding 2 event later this month, so I don’t expect anything to be shown from that game, but there are others that could be shown off. Insomniac’s hack from a few years ago had Venom pointing to a 2025 release, it’s possible that the game is officially announced during the event. It could be why the DLC for Spider-Man 2 was cancelled.
Something that I think we might see, maybe not at the Sony event, but within the next week, is Starfield and a Halo game being announced for PS5. Starfield being announced could happen at the State of Play, but a new Halo has not been announced yet. If they were going to make an announcement for a Halo game, it would probably be at the Xbox event next week. Xbox has become one of the biggest publishers on Sony’s platform, with Forza and soon Gears of War joining the games available.
There was a tech demo for the Witcher 4 shown at the Unreal event. They specifically stated that it was running on a Playstation 5, so it is possible that there will be a new trailer for the game shown.
I will be watching Sony’s State of Play and potentially even showcasing here what I am excited for. What are you hoping for in the event?
