WithSonystaring down its latestPlayStation State of Playshowcase (Wednesday 5pm ET / 10pm GMT), we’re here to do what we do best: speculate on what we might see during the40-minute show that promises 15+ games.
Add this to a long list of console-exclusive games currently boasting a TBC release date, and there’s plenty wecouldsee at the latest State of Play broadcast. The question is, of course, whatwillwe see over the course of the 40-minute show. We already know to expect “extended looks at Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin”, so what else do we really hope pops its head above?
Sony State of Play predictions
It’s been a while since we’ve seen or heard anything from Bloober Team’s upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, making the State of Play the most obvious place for a development update. Bloober Team – the creators of Layers of Fear among other unsettling horror ventures – has long stressed its desire to reimagine James Sutherland’s twisted tour of video games' most cursed town, but not retell it. That’ll be music to the ears of long-standing fans, but I’m most intrigued to see how it looks in practice. From the Blue Creek Apartments to the Lake View hotel and everything (and everything) between, I want to be scared shitless all over again.
Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and more
Wouldn’t it be great to get something that’s properly shocking at the upcoming State of Play? Something on that maybe-not-even-real Cory Barlog sci-fi game would be lovely. As would all of the above games running on the new PS5 Pro in real-time on-stage. As would confirmation of a Dino Crisis remake. And a Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remaster. And a Sonic Generations remaster. And a new Metro game. And, of course, Bloodborne 2. I’d bite your hand off for any of those, truth be told – but I’d be equally keen to see more from games that we knowarehappening, such as Slitterhead, Marvel’s Wolverine, and some of the other Silent Hill games in the works to name but a few. As always, check back in with us after the showcase to laugh and/or cry at what we got right and categorically wrong.
