Sony is reportedly set to deliver its now-standard February PlayStation State of Play broadcast next week.Leaker NateTheHate, who accurately revealed the date of Nintendos Switch 2 reveal ahead of time, took to social media to tease a State of Play for Valentines Day week (February 10 to 14).Its speculation time! What could Sony have up its sleeve for this years State of Play? Its worth going through the first-party games it has announced and coming out in 2025. Sucker Punchs Ghost of Yotei currently has a 2025 release window. Perhaps well get a fresh look at gameplay and a release date.Meanwhile, Bungies PvP extraction shooter Marathon may be set for a showing if it still plans to open playtesting up this year. Theres also Fairgames, the debut game from Haven Studios. Naughty Dog recently announced its brand new IP, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and Insomniac is working on Marvels Wolverine. More likely, perhaps, is a fresh trailer for Hideo Kojimas Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which is set for a 2025 release.What we wont see are the various live service games Sony recently canned. Last month, Sony canceled two unannounced live-service games that were in development at Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games. The Bluepoint game was reportedly a live-service God of War game. Bend Studios live-service game remains unknown. Guerrilla Games' live service Horizon game reportedly survived the cull. Is it finally time for a reveal?Moving on to potential third-party announcements, Kojima has Physint, the upcoming stealth-action PlayStation exclusive in the works, but it feels a little early for that. Phantom Blade Zero, the flashy hack-and-slash action RPG from Chinese studio S-Game, is a safer bet.And lets not forget Microsoft, now a significant publisher of games on PlayStation. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to launch on PS5 soon, so maybe we will see a release date announced. And could Microsoft use State of Play to finally announce the arrival of Halo on PlayStation?In predicting the future, its helpful to look to the past. Last years equivalent State of Play showcased the likes of Death Stranding 2, Physint, Rise of the Ronin, the Until Dawn remaster, Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2, Sonic x Shadow Generations, various Silent Hill projects, Ken Levines Judas, Foamstars, and Helldivers 2.Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
