PlayStation Previews Next Week's State of Play

Sony's February PlayStation State of Play is reportedly scheduled for next week. Leaker NateTheHate, who accurately predicted the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date, hints at a State of Play airing during Valentine's Day week (February 10th-14th).

Speculation abounds regarding Sony's announcements. Several first-party titles slated for 2025 release are strong contenders. Sucker Punch's Ghost of Yotei could receive a gameplay showcase and release date reveal. Bungie's Marathon, a PvP extraction shooter, might appear if playtesting plans remain on track for this year. Haven Studios' debut title, Fairgames, is also a possibility. While less likely, new footage for Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (also a 2025 release) is a plausible announcement.

Recently canceled live-service titles from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games (reportedly a God of War live-service game) will not feature. However, Guerrilla Games' live-service Horizon project, which reportedly survived the cancellations, might finally see a public unveiling.

Phantom Blade Zero, a hack-and-slash action RPG from S-Game, is a more likely candidate.

Microsoft's presence is also noteworthy. A release date for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny could be announced, and the possibility of a Halo announcement for PlayStation remains a topic of speculation.

Last year's State of Play featured 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. This provides a useful benchmark for predicting this year's announcements.
