Sony has officially announced that a State of Play broadcast is happening tomorrow, Wednesday, March 9th at 2PM PT. The broadcast has been widely rumored to be taking place this week and Sony has finally confirmed it in a blog post. They have promised “new reveals and eye-catching updates,” but won’t be sharing any more info on PSVR2 or other hardware:
A new State of Play is upon us! Join us this Wednesday March 9 at 2 PM Pacific / 5 PM Eastern / 11:00 PM CET for new reveals and eye-catching updates for PS5 and PS4 titles. Note: We won’t have any updates on PlayStation VR2 titles or hardware in this broadcast.
The show is clocking in around 20 minutes, give or take, with a special focus on highlighting great games coming from some of our beloved Japanese publishers, though we’ll have a few updates from other developers located around the world, too.
You can of course watch our broadcast live on Twitch and YouTube. See you Wednesday!
Sony has no shortage of things to talk about for this State of Play broadcast, though we may not see some games that we’re hoping for. According to popular leaker AccountNGT, the announcement for the broadcast was supposed to be made yesterday, but since some of the western developers asked for a delay, some of the western games may have been removed, which is why the announcement was made today. They also feel that while an update on Final Fantasy XVI is likely, there may only be a 50/50 chance that we hear anything about Hogwarts Legacy. AccountNGT also says that we can “forget about” hearing anything about God of War: Ragnarok or the rumored new Infamous game in development as nothing has been said about there being any announcements from Playstation Studios:
As previously reported, new a new Sly Cooper game is also rumored to be in development, but it is also unlikely that we will see this announced in the State of Play either. According to AccountNGT the Sly Cooper reveal is planned for the second half of 2022 and may coincide with Sly’s 20th anniversary.
As with all rumors, we do recommend taking all of this with a grain of salt, as it we cannot be sure of anything until the State of Play is broadcast tomorrow.
