State of Play returns tomorrow, 12th February, for 40+ minutes of PS5 games

Sony has introduced that their PlayStation State of Play showcase will return tomorrow, twelfth Feburary, 10pm UK time – that’s 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 11pm CET, and on thirteenth February at 7am JST.

The announcement may be very, very gentle on what we’d count on to see, however we do know that the present shall be round 40 minutes lengthy, and it’ll characteristic “information and updates on nice video games coming to PS5. The present celebrates a inventive and distinctive collection of thrilling video games from studios world wide.”

And that’s all that they’re saying. Not even hinting at a number of the publishers and studios which are collaborating. Although we do already know one which shall be there: the Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater release date announcement, which leaked final week.

The MGS Delta launch date trailer – viewable here – was by accident uploaded to the PlayStation Retailer, and the web page itemizing briefly hosted the sport’s August launch date as effectively. The trailer teased the returning Ape Escape tie-in mode, Snake vs. Monkey, simply as was discovered within the authentic launch of Metallic Gear Stable 3!

Sony solely mentions the PS5 right here, and whereas that strictly talking would come with PSVR 2 video games. The VR headset clearly requires a PS5 or a PC in an effort to play video games, so there could possibly be some VR titles featured or video games that construct VR compatibility in, however Sony don’t point out it right here like they’ve up to now. So, I believe we will safely count on that this shall be fairly narrowly targeted on PS5 titles. Hopefully there’s some first occasion bangers in there, like Ghost of Yotei, Insomniac’s Wolverine – which was first introduced method, method again in 2021 – or one thing utterly new and shocking.

Perhaps Kendrik Lamar will flip up and perform around the PlayStation symbols, like he did on the weekend?
