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.According to Sony, 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 recentState of Play from Septemberwhich ran just shy of 40 minutes and ended with the reveal ofGhost of Yotei. Other notable announcements from the September State of Play included theMonster Hunter Wildsrelease date which is now just around the corner on February 28,Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remasteredwhichturned out quite good, the reveal of aLunar Remastered Collectionand a non-MMORPGArcheAgegame calledArcheAge Chroniclesthat 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 somethingBloodbornerelated. 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 monthBloodbornecelebrates its 10-year anniversary. And to add more fuel to the proverbial Yarnham bonfire, Sony has recently been issuing DMCAs toBloodbornefan games and even fan-made patches, including one that simply enabled the popular souls-like to run at 60fps.
This certainly isn’t proof that someBloodbornenews 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 PlayStationYouTubeandTwitchchannels tomorrow, February 12, starting at 5 pm ET. See you there!
