Sony could hold a State of Play presentation in September, it’s been claimed.
According to Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who previously accurately reported onSony‘s last broadcast, the company will hold aState of Playpresentation soon.
“There is probably going to be aPlayStationState of Play, not a Showcase, by the end of September,” Grubbsaid on Game Mess Mornings.
“It’s probably going to be late next month, September.”
In the past, PlayStation’s State of Play presentations have been lower-stakes affairs during which third-party titles that Sony has marketing partnerships with, as well as indie titles, are shown off.
Larger titles do sometimes appear at these shows, but it’s not the PlayStation Showcase-style event in which the company lays out its next slate of exclusive blockbusters.
The last State of Play took place in May and showed such titles asAstro Bot,Concord, Dynasty Warriors Origins,Monster Hunter Wildsand thePCversion ofGod of War Ragnarok.
It’s expected that a ‘PlayStation 5Pro’ mid-generation console refresh will be announced soon, so it’s possible that it could be announced during this event.
Sony’s first-party titles for the rest of the year include Astro Bot andLego Horizon Adventures. While Astro Bot is currently a PlayStation 5 exclusive, Lego Horizon Adventures will be released on PS5, PC, andNintendo Switch.
Astro Bot will be released on September 6, alongside anew special edition DualSense controller.
While currently unconfirmed, a release date for Lego Horizon Adventures appeared online on Tuesday. It’s speculated the game’s release date could be revealed duringtoday’s Nintendo Direct.
