Sony's February PlayStation State of Play is reportedly scheduled for next week. Leaker NateTheHate, known for accurately predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal date, hints at a State of Play airing during Valentine's Day week (February 10-14).
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 reasonable expectation.
Recent cancellations of unannounced live-service titles from Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games (the latter reportedly a God of War live-service game) will not feature. However, Guerrilla Games' live-service Horizon project, which survived the cuts, could finally be unveiled.
Regarding third-party titles, while Kojima's Physint is in development, an announcement might be premature. Phantom Blade Zero, a hack-and-slash action RPG from S-Game, is a more likely candidate.
Microsoft's presence on PlayStation shouldn't be overlooked. A release date for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is possible, and the long-awaited arrival of Halo on PlayStation could finally be announced.
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, Ken Levine's Judas, Foamstars, and Helldivers 2. This provides a useful benchmark for predicting this year's announcements.
