You're absolutely right to be excited — Sony’s State of Play livestream on September 24 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET / 10pm UK is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events of the year, especially with Tokyo Game Show in full swing and several major PlayStation exclusives just around the corner.
Here’s what we’re likely to see based on the latest updates and fan speculation:
🔥 Confirmed & Expected Highlights:
✅ 5-Minute Preview of Saros – Housemarque’s Next Big Game
- The fast-paced, cosmic shooter from Returnal’s creators is getting its first real look.
- Expect to see high-octane action, stunning visuals, and the signature neon-lit chaos Housemarque is known for.
- This could be a strong signal that Housemarque is back in full force after Returnal’s success.
✅ More on Ghost of Yotei – Sucker Punch’s Next Exclusive
- With its October 2 launch just days away, expect a deeper dive into the game’s lore, setting (the remote, snowy region of Yotei), and its spiritual themes.
- Sucker Punch has been tight-lipped, but rumors suggest a more personal, introspective story than Infamous, with strong emphasis on atmosphere and emotional storytelling.
- Likely will include new gameplay footage, a story teaser, and maybe even a look at the game’s unique "Yotei" mechanic.
✅ Major Updates on First-Party Titles
-
Marvel’s Wolverine (Insomniac Games) – This is the big mystery. After years of silence, and with creative director Brian Horton’s departure last year, fans are desperate for any sign of progress.
- Expect a new gameplay reveal, possibly showing Wolverine in action (claw-swinging, combat combos, stealth sections).
- Rumors suggest it might be a more mature, noir-inspired take on the character, focusing on trauma and legacy — not just action.
- A possible confirmation on a 2025 release window, or at least a solid update on development status.
-
Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet (Naughty Dog) – With Neil Druckmann returning full-time after The Last of Us TV series, this is a major moment.
- Expect a new gameplay teaser, a look at the game’s sci-fi world, and maybe even a story synopsis.
- The title suggests a spiritual or philosophical narrative — potentially a departure from Naughty Dog’s usual emotional drama, but with the same depth.
- Could hint at a 2025 or 2026 release, but a confirmation on development status is expected.
✅ Third-Party Updates?
- Sony may confirm new content or DLC for major third-party titles, especially:
- Resident Evil Re:Verse (Capcom) – Though not confirmed, a deep-dive into the Requiem mode (if still in development) would make sense.
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth – Possible update on future DLC or multiplayer plans (though unlikely to go full multiplayer).
- Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores – A new expansion trailer is a strong possibility.
🎮 What’s Not Likely?
- No major new console announcement (PS6 is still years away).
- No full reveal of The Last of Us Part 3 (though a tease is possible).
- No surprise Sony acquisition announcement.
