State of Play Announced, Covering More Than 15 PS5, PSVR2 Games

Currently not interested in Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin but hoping for maybe some Wolverine news.

Maybe this is where they announce that support for Suicide Squad ends.

Better be a good PSVR2 game. I really like the device but it seems Sony pushes this thing even less then vita. Currently, it’s saved by a large amount of backlog (in my case, still need to buy synapse and light brigade) and GT7.

Socom 2 UHD UBERREMAKE or bust.

Considering the last few state of plays, my expectations are rock bottom, but I still can't help being excited about this.

Stellar Blade looks super intriguing, I really hope that game sticks the landing.

Hoping for a sony first party surprise as it's been VERY long since we've had that, but just seems so unlikely

Finally 🤩 glad psvr 2 games will be there aswell.

Really hope they've got some good PSVR2 titles lined up.

Gonna watch it on my xbox, like I always do 😂

Silent Hill 2 gameplay and release date please!!! 🙏

As long we get our next AAA VR game or two, I'll be happy.

I wonder how many remakes are going to be part of it smh

We’re eating good, finally.

@Czar_Khastik I literally made a Push Square account just to like your post lmao

No way 😅

Seriously though I'm really looking forward to this, especially for the PSVR2 games and if the rumours are true it'll be a good one

One detail I find interesting is that Herman Hulst is writing the blog post for this. I don't think he's ever done that for a State of Play before. Usually, my expectations for these are rock bottom, but I'm looking forward to this one if we're getting good looks at Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade. Plus, I've seen some of the games that are rumored to be there, and I'm VERY intrigued by these if they do make appearances.

All those current shows with only or mostly only games that release soon are so boring.
Yes, I will play Stellar Blade, Ronin etc. I don't need any more material for known games. I want to get hyped about upcoming unknown titles.
Anyway, still good to have a SoP.
So hope still there will be an actual huge showcase event later in the year.
Unfortunately all those shows more and more are only for the uninformed mainstream.

@Rebourne07 Thanks man, appreciate it 😎

I'm going to predict Ghost of Tsushima 2 at every event until it happens.

@Grimwood I rather know more about games that I will playing soon than games I be playing years for now.

Hoping for the best!

AAA Sony studios single player campaign for PS5 what you got? For 2024.
We shall soon know if it’s gonna be quiet from them this year as being honest I have predicted.
But more than happy to be totally wrong.

The Last of Us Part 1 Remaster Remaster

Finally! Stellar Blade! I am now already excited for it! That is seriously all I've wanted to hear something about so anything else is just icing on the cake.

Looking forward to Stellar Blade

edit: Just a shame that the SoP is once again at a bad time for europeans

Please be better than the last handful of shows, I'm not sure how they could be any worse.

Really hyped for Ronin and any surprises they show! A re-reveal of Pragmata would be awesome!

Some first-party news would be great, but personally, I’m just hoping that Stellar Blade ends up as good to play as it is to look at. The thought of a new-gen answer to Bayonetta is amazing, so its been at the top of my personal wishlist ever since it was first revealed.

Not expecting much but would nice to see the Spider-Man 2 DLC get an official announcement.

Oooooeeeeee excited!

@Splat Then I guarantee you your prediction for this one is wrong.

Keeping cautiously optimistic that we get some gems shown in this one.

Knack 3, lets goooo

Yay! I'm excited for Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin, but neither as much as Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. I expect another State of Play before that game launches.

Great... theres already more titles coming I want to play this year than I can fit in, but Im always happy to put more titles on the list!
Stella Blade looked great last time we got a glimpse, Im hoping that might be soon...

Oh stellar blade! Finally! I feel like I have never been more keen to see more lady derrière action 😂 My family is kinda weirded out by my hype for this game. I love Bayonetta though so there’s that

@TheCollector316 Final Fantasy XVI: Rebirth?

Now, if we got some info on The Rising Tide!

@TheCollector316 Do you mean Rebirth on the 29th? Because you're dreaming if you think we'll get another so soon lol. The next State of play would probably be September.

@BranJ0 your not happy with sony's treatment of psvr2 even though there's more games than you can play?

@Czar_Khastik suicide for suicide squad 😂

all I ever need is a new trailer for GTA 6, nothing else really, got everything I need on PS5.

Hopefully some Switch 2 information

Oooops...My bad wrong website

@OldGamer999 I don't think barely anyone cares. This is a State of play not a Showcase and the line up already looks good, now we'll get some more release dates and I'd imagine 1st party will be reserved for a Showcase or another State of play in September.

@MrMagic @CharlieChooChoo

I think it would be weird if Sony didn't have a State of Play for Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth specifically right before it launches. They did it for the previous game and tend to do it for all their biggest launches. It would also be weird to have another State of Play so soon, but after so much silence, they definitely need to up the cadence. Monthly sounds about right.

@MrMagic
Yeah, but it’s that Sony Studio AAA magic that really counts for me.
I’m been playing uncharted 4 again PS5 enhanced paid the £10 to get a pure magical Sony Studio AAA game play fix.

PSVR2 WipEout.

That is all.

@RBMango I think he might be getting positioned to replace Jim Ryan.

They are not going to tease Ghost of Twoshima until after RotR is out

I would really love to know what Bluepoint is up to (Bloodborne 2 hopefully)

About time we got one. My expectations aren't high after how lackluster last year's showings were but hopefully this will be better. At least Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade have been mentioned which is a good start, been wanting to see more of those, especially Stellar Blade which went quiet all of last year until 3 days before 2024 where they said it's not coming out (pretends to be shocked)

@MrMagic The cadence for Sony's States of Play are all over the place. We've gone months without one (the last was in September) and they've done 2 in less than a month before. It's possible there will be a dedicated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth state of play in February, but I doubt it.

Really excited for this wednesday!
I'll be super hyped if kingdom hearts 4 gets more info or a trailer with hopefully a release date! Been 2 years without any official news for it tbh!
Definitely be tuning in for this Wednesday!

@Czar_Khastik too soon dude.
much respect though.

@TheCollector316 @theSpectre Then I won't be watching. I'm already buying it no matter what so I don't need a deep dive state of play just focused on that and nothing else.

@Sanquine yup, at least the vita had it's "vita means life" E3 moment. Psvr2 had a blog post.

Stellar Blade!!!! Lets gooo!!!

PS5 is currently the least fave PlayStation console I've owned. Games have been so slow to come.

Resident evil remastered.
Metal gear solid remastered.
And, silent hill 2 psvr2 mode

Negativity is strong with this site.
Xbox had a showcase with 4 games (and surprising 5th) and everybody lost their mind how much content there was.
Sony does 15 games, everybody whines how there is nothing to play and console is an unbelievable disappointment.

Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin info is going to be amazing, excited/interested in both of those games. Hopefully maybe some Judas info and maybe Little Devil Inside? Final Fantasy Rebirth will probably be in their and Granblue Fantasy Relink will probably get it's trailer in their(as it should).

Should be a good State of Play with a game for everyone, not expecting a bunch of First Party stuff. I don't think anybody should be thinking about that.

Hell yes! I have been waiting for Stellar Blade for a while. This should be a great show regardless if they show any new info from first party studios.

How much you wanna bet its just 15 games that are already announced, and if there is something new don't expect to hear anything new from Sonys first parties.

People should keep their expectations about first-party announcements well in check. This is a State of Play, not a Showcase. Traditionally, these just offer a look at bigger titles that were already announced, plus maybe some smaller new games.

YES STELLAR BLADE FINALLY

Let's hope the VR2 stuff is exclusive content, not just crap churned over from Quest 2 etc... at least Stellar blade is getting coverage.

I heard rumours of an Astro Bot sequel.

Im hoping for a dungeon crawler/multiplayer/loot-em-up.

Ive had so much fun with dungeon of eternia (and battle talent) on the Quest that the PSVR need something similar

Stellar blade and VR games. Perfect!

@Sanquine the big buzz is it will be a Metro VR game title subtitled Awakenings. Deep Silver made a deal with Vertigo to bring 5 of their IPs to headsets, so it's not far fetched. Fingers crossed.

I predict a rescue mission remastered for psvr2 and half life alyx port.probaby see 3-4 VR games.

@Rudy_Manchego The Last of US Part 1 remaster remaster already came out, it's a PS5 remaster of a PS4 remaster of a PS3 game.

All I really needed out of this was a proper look at Rise of The Ronin, everything else is just a bonus.

There was a weird 'leak' that points towards maybe a new JUDAS trailer and other stuff... so fingers crossed

@Cikajovazmaj Apparently, Sony can't do anything right according to some people. They had a showcase that showed off 34 games last year and it was called a disaster. Whereas, every show Xbox does people are like "Woo, Xbox is back!" and then Xbox continues to disappoint for eternity.

@Ken_Kaniff How about we get some release dates and maybe some gameplay for what's already announced instead of announcing more games that are nowhere close to release. Seeing games that are still years away is pretty stupid.

Currently interested in Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin not hoping for any Wolverine news.

@MrMagic Release dates for what.....Concord???? Because that's the only first party game I see. Do not mention Stellar Blade/Rise of the Ronin or any other 3RD PARTY game Sony pays to mask as a timed first party game. I am talking 1st party ONLY.

@Czar_Khastik souch hate for a game not even out yet

@Luminous117 Metro vr

I'm calling it now, stellar blade will be woked up compared to last time we saw it, disappointing 99% of it's audience. The other 1% that cried about it probably never was gonna play it anyway.

@Ken_Kaniff Good for you. 👍 A lot of people want the release dates, for games like Stranding, Stellar and to see some gameplay of Concord, also that's how Sony usually acquire some of their 1st party studios. They partner, fund and publish and in some cases buy the studio in the end. If all you care about is the fact that Sony actually owns the studio then I guess you're not much of a gamer but that's okay, lmao.

Looking forward to Stella blade that's probably about it unless they show Judas

A remaster of the original 3 Uncharted games and for the first time on home console, Golden Abyss. Y'know what? I wouldn't be surprised.

@MrMagic Oh so you're one of them...I see. Well let me catch you up real quick. Not that you'll care because it seems you're happy with whatever you get, but we are going into year 4 of the PS5 gen and over half of Sonys studios haven't even released one game. I dont know about you, but I don't buy one console to just play games I could play anywhere else eventually. So yes me personally I'm not happy with Sonys output atm, but to each his own. 🤷‍♂️

An extended look at Stellar Blade makes me think it's releasing in April/May. Sony's extended looks at games during State of Play in the past have been for games releasing within a few months later (e.g. Rise of the Ronin, Suicide Squad before the State of Play reception delayed it, Deathloop).

@Sanquine In the same boat! Just picked up Light Brigade and Synapse on the list too to play. Got bored with what was out there and saving a few known solid titles for this lull in releases. Horizon VR hasn't been installed yet either...

THIS JUST IN!!!

Persona 5 Royale w/Cheese One More Time, Again Velvet Room Edition v2.01b!!! Only $69.99 with additional dungeon!!

Looking forward to more on Ronin and Stellar Blade. Hope for some nice details.

@Ken_Kaniff Yes I'm one of those people who doesn't really care what building games are made in as long as they are good.

There's also plenty of time left for them to show off what 1st party has been working on later in the year. If they show too much at once the games they've funded may get lost in the fray. Sony's 1st party has the potential to steal the spotlight away from some of the studio's they have partnered with and funded. It's wise to split them up and space them out.

Can't wait to see more of Stellar Ass. Hopefully, it's a big showing and yet tight and compact with details.

@Rudy_Manchego The Last Remaster 2 Part Us

As this falls on the anniversary of the OG FF7 release in Japan, I’d expect there to be more news on Rebirth. Most likely a demo drop…(he said optimistically…)

Legend of Dragoon remake remaster or any form would be my dream I would even take Dark Cloud or Heavenly Sword remake or part 2.

Optimistic as always, leading to disappointment. I think as it doesn't say "first party studios" anywhere then we won't see any major announcements there.

@Sanquine The rumour is one of the PSVR2 titles is a new Metro VR game called Metro Awakening, so fairly big news if so. Could be a hybrid title apparently, which makes sense commercially.
Would be nice to have a new Astro Bot announcement too though.

You had me at Stellar Blade 😉

Finally some Stellar Blade, huh? About time.

Also looking forward to seeing more from Rise of the Ronin.

@Cikajovazmaj

It's not just this site. There are many spoiled rage-baiting Playstation commenters on YouTube, Twitter, and the Playstation blog who are falling all over each other just to one-up with the hate. However, I liken it to sports fans who are always yelling at the TV when their favorite team does dumb stuff. Armchair CEOs just having a bit of extremely angry fun...lol...and trolls...there are always trolls.

I'm just here for DS2!!!!!!!!! please no more Marvel content.

Maybe FF 7 Rebirth demo announcement and hopefully some news about Suikoden HD Remaster release date.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got some Spider-Man 2 NG+ announcement/DLC. Especially after the leak.

N.i.c.e. its about time.glad to see stellar blase and rise of the ronin is going to be there.and other games also.cool.word up son

@Ken_Kaniff, does the game have SIE or PS Studios on the box? Then that game IS NOT 3rd party. Sony will publish at least 4 games this year, if not more.
Games like Until Dawn, Death Stranding, Nioh, Detroit Become Human can be considered Sony games, even if not made by a Subsidiary.
It's always been like this, even in the PS1 era. It's just that people are jumping on some hate train.
Fk Social Media, it may be good in some aspects, but it also promotes the spreading of missinformation and hate.

ABANDONED news 😂

Really hope we get to see more SH2 and Death Stranding 2

@Gooseman42 if you mean like metro 2033 ect ect I love those games and really really hope they arnt making a new full/mainline game that's VR
That would suuuuck

Show me some Death Stranding 2 and I'm a happy camper.

PLEASE SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE PLEASEEEEE

Ps5 is turning out to be the poorest Playstation console ever in terms of quality games. With xbox sales in free fall, it will be just a matter of time before players lose faith in the playstation brand as well.

Woohoo I’m so ready for a state of play!

My body is ready

@Stickleman Wouldn't suck for PSVR 2 owners!
Though l like I said, the rumours are it would be a hybrid game as they have done with the Resi Evil games and makes the most sense. Fans without VR still get to play it but the VR owners get the best experience, plus they get revenue from both.

@Cikajovazmaj welcome to PushSquare!

@theSpectre “Whereas, every show Xbox does people are like "Woo, Xbox is back!" and then Xbox continues to disappoint for eternity.”

Pretty much, I’m more excited for this state of play than I was the Xbox dev direct. What makes me chuckle is that everyone says MachineGuns decided to not play it safe by making Indiana Jones an FPS, and that really has me scratching my head. Since when is a dev company that makes exclusively FPS games making a game FPS considered to be taking a risk? It’s all they know!

@MoorePs5 oh, it’s Abandoned all right!

@Gooseman42 fair.
I haven't heard anything about it but all I know from owning a psvr and currently a meta 3 and played psvr2 if it dosnt really move I can play for mabey an hour before I die.
If it does move even if it's blink movement with all the anti sickness stuff on (played abit if half life alux at a friend's house but not chance I could even complete that game) or something like GT7 I can play mabey 20 mins before I have to lay down for awhile because I feel so Ill 🙄.

If I can play it normally though and its not full of gimmicks I'm all in for more metro

I like SoP format by Sony so looking forward to it...I heard rumoured games, but here's what I wish to see there:

• Shadow of the Erdtree
• Bloodborne remaster/remake/sequel
• new Resident Evil and Tomb Raider game
• PS5 PRO
• surprising day1 addition for extra/premium
• big 1st party announcement = new IP

Hope we'll have really good show!

Been gagging for more Stellar Blade. Looks like such a fun third person action game

Don't get excited, don't get excited, don't get excited..

@BranJ0 Likewise.. they know they have some excitement to recapture. Plus this is the first post-Jim show (I think?).. can't help be a bit excited.

I don't expect any brand new game reveals so I won't be disappointed, obviously people should know by now Sony will be saving them for their main showcases.

Just give me the Stellar Blade gameplay and release date, and show some detailed gameplay of Rise of the Ronin, Death Stranding 2 and Silent Hill 2 then il be happy.

Also, If (pretty big if) they announce Half Life Alyx for the PSVR2 then I will finally have a reason to buy one.

Give us AstroBot 1 and 2 please
I would love Astrobot Playroom too! I have no local multiplayer games on PSVR2 and it would be a fantastic way to play assymetric games!

Having a big reveal would definitely endear the new guy at the top. Maybe it’s all part of the plan. Big announcements incoming? 🤞

I'm already interested with an extended look of Stellar Blade being announced as part of it. It was annoyingly absent from everything last year, so it's nice to see that.

On the fence with Rise of the Ronin at the moment as I don't like Souls-like games, but knowing this is going to be made more accessible than other Team Ninja games has me interested in seeing how it turns out at least.

Hopefully the rest of the games aren't just second or third party titles though and we actually get something that we didn't know about already from PlayStation themselves. At the very least, I know it won't be a total bust for me like a lot of their shows over the last year or so.

My money is on a remaster/remake.

@CharlieChooChoo That's what I'm saying. I get that they don't want to make an Uncharted/Tomb Raider clone, Indiana Jones just feels wrong in first person. I'll still play it as I'm a huge Indy fan and a big fan of MachineGames, but I can't deny that my heart definitely sank in my chest when seeing that the game is first person.

HYPE TRAIN!!! CANNOT WAIT!!!
Stellar Blade is one of my most highly anticipated games! Aside from that I am just praying for something- ANYTHING good for PSVR2. C'mon Sony, give me that Astrobot Rescue Mission port! Or show me you know the VR2 exists at all!
My pie in the sky announcement is that FF9 remake but I'd say thats farfetched this close to FF7R.

Can we please get games that are actually new, and not just remasters/remakes and stuff we already know about or have seen plenty of.

Finally we get a He-Man game made just like God of War with different Characters we can play as. Yep. It’s coming.

@starbuck2212 And maybe that mythical FFVII Rebirth demo drop.

Calling it now: it’s going to be 16 games announced

i just want to see san monica , bluepoint , asobi , and firesprite's new games they've been working on anything else is just a bonus.

Hopefully they announce something truly new.

@Savage_Joe This made me laugh so much! I spat my coffee out.

@CharlieChooChoo 😂

Hopefully another look at Marvel's S. Wolverine

@KaiBrunnenG Ahem Skullgirls drama ahem.

I'm only here for Stellar Blade, and the rumored Sonic Generations remaster.

I really want to know what the 1st party studios have cooking! Especially Bluepoint (Demon’s Souls remake was amazing). Really hoping they’re reviving Bloodborne in some way!

Omg im so excited for Judas. Please be it

@Nei same here. My wife always asks why i create female characters and this is the answer (i dont give her 😂)

I've always wanted a new SOCOM game (but made so it plays like the Operation Flashpoint games) and then I read this recently...

"Prior to its closure, Zipper Interactive were working on two unannounced titles for the PlayStation 4 before both projects were cancelled once the closing was complete. One was another entry in the SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs series, and the other was a first-person shooter meant to be a new IP."

I like shooters but I don't think there's enough realistic shooters (no silly gun camps or outfits etc.)

Astrobot Rescue Mission 2 announcement please Sony. Like seriously. Now is the time. Also, feel free to shadow drop during the State of Play. Thanks

@Rudy_Manchego came here to say exactly the same thing!

You mean to say this one is not gonna be as lame as the last 5 of them (at least) ?
Yeah... not buying it. Until proven otherwise, I'll stick to reading the bullet points next day.

My PS5 is currently parked up and gathering dust. Give me a reason to boot up The Tub o' Lard, Sony!

PS4 Pro is getting much more use at the moment (ESO, for reasons explained elsewhere) so it seems a shame that £500 worth of console is sat there, looking grotesque by the side of the TV (Mcbazel black plates have helped somewhat)

At this rate we will get a Spiderman 2 remastered, it's been out a while now

I really want to see something for Wolverine. And also want to know what’s happening with the Kotor remake.
Release date for SH2 remake and Snake eater remake as there at stated to be release this year.
Rise of the ronin gameplay would be really nice to see as I love how it looks so far.
Skies of Arcadia remaster would be nice to have announced.
Would like to see something new for Stellar blade and lost soul aside

@TrickyDicky99 Ah I can see the confusion. You see The Last of Us Remastered was a PS4 revision of the PS3 title The Last of Us whilst the Last of Us Part 1 Remastered Remastered is a remaster of PART 1. The Part 1 makes all the difference here

@Octane Ah you mean the TLR2PU for short?

@Ninerguy1608 that sounds amazing. If you haven't played it yet there's a great openbor game you can play on pc or android 👍(even has lion-o as a playable character)

@Dragoon1994 was the kotor remake not cancelled?

@Deljo
At the moment we know nothing and they haven’t said anything about it.
As far as I know it hasn’t been cancelled

Any hope of Elden Ring DLC being announced?

@Kidfunkadelic83 Because you support strong female leads! Of course. 😄

Most excited for Metro Awakening if it's a PSVR2 title.

@Dragoon1994 ah OK, fingers crossed 👍

@Nei of course. Girl power n all that 💪💪🤣

I'm hoping Sys Celes will be there

Theres 3 yrs left on the ps5 life cycle and nothing worth buying it for unless u like god of war. Ps6 just entered the design phase and will be out either 2027 or 2030 which makes ps5 just a bump in the road. Sony needs more wins before ps5 dies
