Sony announces State of Play date and lineup focus
Sony has officially confirmed a State of Play presentation that will air on the night of May 31. The announcement comes via the company’s official blog, signaling a planned showcase aimed at detailing upcoming projects for PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation VR2 headset.
The brief, thirty minute event is scheduled to begin on May 31 at 1:00 in the morning Moscow time. In the message accompanying the schedule, Sony outlined that the stream will cover fourteen game titles or game-related updates. The focus will be on content developed by Sony’s internal studios and, notably, on titles expected to arrive within the current calendar year. The reveal is framed as a concentrated glimpse into what players can anticipate across both traditional console experiences and virtual reality for the PS5 platform and its VR headset ecosystem.
Speculation ahead of the broadcast has centered on several possible reveals. Rumors have circulated that a new trailer for the remake of the cult horror classic Silent Hill 2 could debut during State of Play, with discussions suggesting an accompanying release date. Another anticipated highlight involves Concord, an online shooter tied to the LEGO Horizon Firewalk Studios collaboration within the Horizon universe, which would mark a cross between familiar franchises and fresh online play. Additionally, there is chatter about a potential new installment in the Astro Bot Adventures lineage, a project stemming from a partnership between Sony and LEGO. There has also been talk about bringing God of War Ragnarok to PC, with insiders previously suggesting that a PC port of the original God of War could arrive imminently. For reference, the buzz around this topic has included comments from insiders and leakers about timing, though official confirmations remain pending.
Viewers can catch the State of Play live on major streaming platforms. The event is planned for May 31, with YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok all listed as possible destinations for the broadcast. In a related timing note, the same night is expected to feature a Konami presentation dedicated to the Silent Hill series, adding a double bill of horror-focused announcements for fans attending or watching remotely.
In other news from Sony’s ongoing store activity, a large-scale sale has recently commenced on the PlayStation Store. The promotion features substantial discounts on a broad range of games and subscriptions, with reductions advertised as high as ninety percent in some cases. This sales push aligns with the broader industry trend of driving engagement ahead of major release windows and accompanying live events, giving players highly competitive reasons to explore both new titles and older favorites during the window that surrounds the State of Play schedule.
