Absolutely — the upcoming PlayStation State of Play livestream on September 24 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm BST is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated gaming events of the month, especially with Tokyo Game Show in full swing and several major PlayStation exclusives on the horizon.
Here’s what fans can expect based on the latest updates and industry speculation:
🔥 What We’re Likely to See:
-
New Gameplay Footage of Saros (Housemarque): The five-minute preview already teased promises a high-octane, cosmic shooter reminiscent of Superhot and Resident Evil 7, blending fast-paced action with surreal environments. Expect more on its core mechanics and release window.
-
Ghost of Yotei (Sucker Punch): With its October 2 launch fast approaching, expect a final deep dive into the lore, gameplay, and open-world design of this spiritual successor to Ghost of Tsushima. Given the game’s emphasis on stealth, traversal, and nature, we may see new traversal systems, animal companions, or combat refinements.
-
Marvel’s Wolverine (Insomniac Games): After years of silence and rumors — including the departure of creative director Brian Horton — this could finally be the moment we get official confirmation on the game’s status. Could we see a new trailer, gameplay reveal, or even a release date announcement? With the project returning to full steam under new leadership, a strong push ahead of the holidays seems possible.
-
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet (Naughty Dog): After Neil Druckmann’s return to the studio following The Last of Us TV series, this is a prime opportunity for a major update. Fans are hoping for a reveal of gameplay, narrative direction, or a projected release window — especially given the game’s ambitious sci-fi setting and rumored deep storytelling.
-
Third-Party Updates: Sony is expected to highlight new content and progress on major third-party titles, potentially including:
- Resident Evil Requiem (Capcom) — if it’s still in active development and has new footage.
- Red Hood (Rocksteady) — though unlikely, a surprise mention isn’t out of the question.
- Final Fantasy 16 DLC or Starfield cross-play (if Sony pushes for more Xbox integration).
-
First-Party Studio Progress: Possible updates on:
- Horizon Forbidden West: Cold Wilds DLC (though likely not new content unless teased).
- Returnal sequel hints (Housemarque has been tight-lipped, but they’re clearly building momentum).
- Project C.A.R.E. or other unannounced first-party projects.
