With a cavalcade of games showcases on the horizon early next month, Sony is getting in early with a State of Play showcase announced to go live sooner than you’d expect.
Recent posts on the PlayStation blog and X/Twitter confirm that the State of Play showcase is set to go live on May 30 at 6pm ET (May 31st at 8am AEST), and will run for just over 30 minutes. With an alleged 14 games on the horizon across both PS5 and PSVR, it seems like it’ll be a reasonably tight show.
While Sony has already confirmed that we won’t see any major sequels to big franchises like The Last of Us or Ghosts of Tsushima in 2024 (per a report to investors), fans are eagerly awaiting any shred of information on some of the new IP – especially whatever is cooking over at Santa Monica Studios.
Rumours have also been swirling about a new Astro Bot game, after recent leaks alleged we would see an announcement any day now. Given the success and popularity of Astro’s Playroom in 2020, players have kept a close eye on developers TeamAsobi, so perhaps their patience may finally be paying off.
Other State of Play rumours involve talk of the PS5 Pro, as well as whispers of a PC release for God of War Ragnarok, though here at GamesHub we’re more excited to see something more unexpected.
