Summary
A reliable insider has alleged thatPlayStation’s first State of Play for 2025 will be held next month. Several big games are scheduled to land onPlayStationplatforms in 2025, and a State of Play presentation that sets the tone for the year may not be that far off.
PlayStation usually holds three State of Play events throughout the year to announce games from its first-party studios, as well as third-party partners and indie developers. 2024’s State of Play presentations also saw a larger PlayStation first-party presence, with the May 2024 State of Play revealing Team Asobi’sAstro Botand an extended gameplay trailer of the now-defunct live-service shooterConcord. The lastPlayStation State of Play aired in September 2024, announcingHorizon Zero Dawn Remasteredand the highly-anticipatedGhost of Yotei.
The State of Play schedule has always included a presentation in the first quarter of the year (most often February) to shed light on upcoming game releases. In keeping with this timeline, credible industry insider NateTheHate2 recently hinted on Twitter that2025’s first PlayStation State of Play is slated to broadcast in February. NateTheHate2 carries a fair bit of reliability, as theyaccurately leaked the Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal dateearlier this week and have been proven right on several prior occasions as well.
Major Upcoming PS5 Games That May Show Up in Rumored February 2025 State of Play
As for what PlayStation fans can expect from the purported February 2025 State of Play, new trailers and release date confirmations forDeath Stranding 2: On the BeachandGhost of Yoteiseem quite likely. Director Hideo Kojima stated in September 2024 that arelease date forDeath Stranding 2: On the Beachhad been locked down, but would only be revealed in 2025.Ghost of Yotei, meanwhile, was confirmed for a 2025 launch in the September 2024 State of Play, so the chances of it showing up in the rumored February 2025 State of Play are favorable. Bungie also confirmed last year that it will share new details about itsMarathonrevival in 2025, and the February 2025 State of Play may be a likely venue for the same.
Insomniac Might Be Ready to Reveal Venom Spin-Off Game at February 2025 State of Play
Sony could also have a couple of unexpectedly huge aces up its sleeve for the alleged State of Play next month. Gameplay for Haven Studios' live-service heist shooter,Fairgames, might finally debut at the February 2025 State of Play. On a bigger note, December 2023’s calamitous Insomniac leak revealed that the studio is working on aVenom spin-off game dubbedVenom: Lethal Protectorwhich is scheduled for launch in 2025. Perhaps this could be the show-closer for February 2025’s rumored State of Play.
However, the most optimistic and distantly possible announcement for the February 2025 State of Play isGTA 6’s highly-anticipated Trailer 2. Sony was rumored to havesecured marketing rights forGTA 6last year, and if this is true, the game may finally receive a new trailer at a PlayStation event.GTA 6is undoubtedly the biggest game coming this year, and if the destination for its second trailer is indeed the rumored February 2025 State of Play, then it’ll easily shatter PlayStation’s viewership records.
