Sony is set to thrill gamers with its next PlayStation State of Play event, scheduled for today, February 12, 2025. The event will kick off at 2 PM PT (5 PM ET), lasting over 40 minutes and promising updates and announcements for upcoming PS5 games. PlayStation has made it clear: the show will highlight a "creative and unique selection of exciting games from studios around the world," according to official statements.
Fans are particularly eager for insights on anticipated titles like the much-awaited Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima. Since its reveal at last year’s State of Play, excitement has been building for more details, especially the release date. The game is expected to showcase Sucker Punch Productions’ signature open-world style, enthralling players once more with Japan’s samurai era.
Another title on everyone’s radar is Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Given the buzz surrounding this weird and wonderful sequel, many expect to see new gameplay footage and possible release window announcements, especially with Kojima hinting at more information during his SXSW panel on March 9.
On the horizon, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater has also garnered attention after leaks suggested its release could be around August 2025. This romantic remaster has fans hoping to relive the tactical espionage action of the iconic series, and its appearance at today’s event seems like a safe bet.
Then there's Wolverine, another highly anticipated title from Insomniac. While details about the game have been scarce, speculation suggests we might catch glimpses of Logan’s adventures, keeping Marvel fans on their toes. Insomniac has been tight-lipped, but with the Marvel franchise’s massive popularity, it makes perfect sense to tease new content.
For Bungie fans, updates on Marathon are expected, as the studio aims to replicate the success of Destiny with this new project. Although release information may be premature, gamers are eager for any scraps of news on the live-service game currently under development.
Based on rumors, today’s State of Play could also feature updates about Fairgame$, Haven Studios’ upcoming multiplayer experience. The show might provide clarity on its current status following the cancellation of other live-service games, like Concord.
And with Assassin's Creed Shadows, which is set to release shortly, it seems likely to receive some airtime today too. Ubisoft's foray back to feudal Japan is tantalizing many fans, making this presentation promising for both franchise enthusiasts and newcomers.
While there's been chatter about the possibility of hearing something new about GTA VI, it’s unlikely. The studio behind GTA typically favors significant solo announcements, preferring to dominate timelines and headlines. Regardless, the anticipation remains as fans wait for Rockstar's confirmation.
There’s also speculation about the potential reveal of Bloodborne's remastered version. With the game’s tenth anniversary fast approaching, many are hopeful for more definitive news as the event promised energetic surprises and substantial reveals.
The show can be viewed live via PlayStation’s official YouTube and Twitch channels at the specified times. Anticipation runs high as gamers worldwide prepare for what Sony might showcase to help shape the future of the PS5.
With the gaming year just beginning, players are optimistic about the impact these releases will have on the console’s lifecycle as we move toward 2025. This State of Play event stands out as one of the best opportunities for Sony to cement its position and shed light on future offerings.
After months of speculation and gaps between announcements, today's State of Play could be the decisive moment many PlayStation supporters have been waiting for. Whether or not every title meets eager expectations remains to be seen, but this showcase will likely set the tone for the year to come.
