Sony is returning with not just one, but two State of Play streams on September 3rd at 6am PT / 9am ET / 3:00pm CEST / 10:00pm JST, so get ready for a whole host of new PS5 game announcements, fresh looks at gameplay, and maybe even some other surprises. So far, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the only game we know will be shown, with an extended look at its vast world teased, but other "updates and announcements from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners" are promised. So, what could we see?
Well, we’ve got double the chance to see things this year, with a second showcase to follow directly after, focusing on studios from Japan and Asia. For context, last year’s equivalent stream gave us a gameplay trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine that included a release window reveal, a release date for Housemarque’s Saros, and a first look at Battlefield 6’s campaign. But what can we expect to see this year? Well, let’s get stuck in and look at exactly that.
Marvel’s Wolverine could make one final State of Play appearance ahead of its imminent September 15 release. Excitement levels are already high for this one, but I guess one more trailer or sneak peek can’t hurt.
Revealed at PlayStation’s June State of Play, God of War Laufey, is scheduled to arrive in February of 2027, which is creeping up on us quickly. So far, we’ve only seen that extended gameplay slice that came alongside its unveiling, so another look at it would be more than welcome. There are many directions that a potential trailer could take us, whether it be a deeper dive into the story, world, and characters we’ll meet on Faye’s journey, or a showcase of how differently she’ll perform in combat compared to her husband, Kratos. Either way, we can’t wait to see more.
Is it finally time for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet to reemerge? It’s been over 18 months since the reveal of Naughty Dog’s latest, with that one trailer still our only glimpse of it. Some gameplay would be lovely, and if we’re dreaming, some sort of release date window would be very much appreciated, too. This week, we got the news that the shooting of its performance capture has been completed, alongside a social post from the studio that read “Cannot wait to show you their incredible work when the time is right!” Could that time be Thursday?
Housemarque only recently gave us Saros in April, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t be seeing it here. After all, the studio’s previous game, Returnal, gave us a fair amount of post-launch additions, including co-op play and the endless Tower of Sisyphus mode. Could we see something similar come to Saros? The Finnish studio has already been in the news this week, following the departure of co-founder Ilari Kuittinen, who had been with the company for 31 years. One PlayStation Studios game we can probably expect to see DLC for is Ghost of Yotei, whose Echoes of Sekigahara story expansion drops alongside a new roguelike mode on October 1.
It feels a little too early to see what the third part of Guerrilla Games’ Horizon trilogy is, with reports suggesting it’s still many years away. And it seems as if we’ll be waiting a while to see anything from that universe, as Horizon: Hunter’s Gathering has reportedly been rebooted internally due to negative feedback from playtests. Could we ever see this live-service multiplayer spin-off again? With Halloween looming on the horizon, though, perhaps it’s time to get another look at what Until Dawn 2 may have in store for us.
As for other PlayStation studios, we still don’t know what a lot of them are working on. It’s fair to assume Polyphony is developing another Gran Turismo, and with it being over four years since the last, could we see Gran Turismo 8 pop up on the 3rd? 2027 marks 30 years for the series, so it seems like a nice time for another dose of sim-racing action if you ask me. It’s also been a long time since we’ve heard from LittleBigPlanet and Dreams creators Media Molecule, Days Gone developers Bend, and whatever is happening with Haven’s Fairgames — could it be rebranding to Break In? We’ll take hearing from any of these studios as a win.
