Multiple titles ‘leak’ ahead of PlayStation State of Play

Following insider claims that Sony would be hosting a State of Play presentation sometime this month, the console manufacturer has now officially confirmed as much, with the hour-long show set to go live this Thursday. Ahead of the event, leakers have offered some insight into what fans can expect from the upcoming showcase.

Just yesterday, Sony officially announced that they would be hosting a State of Play showcase on Thursday the 12th of February. As expected, very little was given in the way of what to expect, with them simply stating: “February’s State of Play will spotlight eye-catching third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios.”

Since then however, multiple insiders have come out to offer titbits of information on what to expect, with Shinobi602 claiming that the long-awaited next project from Sony Santa Monica’s Cory Barlog could be present, stating it “wouldn't be super surprising given the target release window,” though clarified that “this isn't a confirmation it'll be there.”

What will be there however (according to insider Paul Tassi) is the upcoming Marathon; likely announcing the date for their pre-launch free beta period.

Far more exciting however is the somewhat dubious claim that none other than Capcom’s Devil May Cry 6 will be announced this year – possibly at the State of Play. Capcom does have a pretty strong relationship with Sony and so this could make sense (especially with DMC 5 having released back in 2019 and recently surpassing 11 million copies sold).

As always however, take all of these rumours with varying levels of salt. Regardless, an hour long State of Play will likely offer plenty to be excited about.
