Originally just a rumor, Sony has officially confirmed and announced that the next State of ♑Play will be tomorrow, February🐷 12, at 5 pm EST. , its first State of Play for 2025 will run for over 40 minutes and showcase a creative and unique selection of exciting games from studios around the world.
Length-wise, this puts tomorrow’s State of Play about on par with Sony’s most recent State of Play from September which ran just shy of 40 minutes and ended with the reveal of Ghost of Yotei. Other notable announcements from the September State of Play included the Monster Hunter Wilds release date which is now just around the corner on February 28, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered which turned out quite good, the reveal of a Lunar Remastered Collection and a non-MMORPG ArcheAge game called ArcheAge Chronicles that looks pretty sick.
As for what we can expect tomorrow, well, that’s purely just speculation at this point. But I like to speculate. Sony never really talks about what’s going to be included in its State of Plays—good call, why ruin the fun!—but it is always fun to talk about possible “What ifs”.
For me, that would have to include something Bloodborne related. Look, I know, every year for the last decade we’ve tried to find ways to prove that the stars are aligned just right for some more eldritch goodness. But that’s the important part this time: a whole decade. Next month Bloodborne celebrates its 10-year anniversary. And to add more fuel to the proverbial Yarnham bonfire, Sony has recently been issuing DMCAs to Bloodborne fan games and even fan-made patches, incꦡluding one that simply enabled the popular soulꦬs-like to run at 60fps.
This certainly isn’t proof that some Bloodborne news is coming tomorrow, but it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to see these timely DMCAs ahead of any new announcements.
Look, Sony, at this point, I’ll take anything. Just a morsel of content? A remaster with said 60 fps? A SEQUEL? Gah, I know, back to bed, Grandpa.
But there’s a chance, right?
Sony’s State of Play will stream live on the PlayStation and channels tomorrow, February 12, starting at 5 pm ET. See you there!
