19 or 20
world premier but maybe not and it will be at The Game Awards
classic fraud behavior

I'd say it will be instead the week before TGS, will be pretty TGS/Asian focused with several B tier Japanese or Chinese games most people in the west won't care about (Gundam, JRPGs and gatchas with lolis etc), won't be a particularly special or long State of Play and won't have many big announcements.

I also suggest you to don't listen these fake 'insiders' who normally are only making guesses. If you overhype with their shit you'll get dissapointed and will blame Sony instead of the fake insiders.

Only one or if lucky two key announcements, plus a few gameplay reveals of already announced games like Death Stranding 2.

My expectations of Sony shows are so low I'd take a title card of a Naughty Dog/SSM next game

So you don't think any of the main western first party will be there?

You don't think Sucker Punch or anyone like that will appear?

Either way he's right. Subscribe to my Patreon

Zero interest in pro and I'm keeping my expectations in check. These SoPs usually turn out to be nothing.

I bet that may appear one or two main western studios announcing something:

• SSM's Cory new IP as the big announcement of the show (but I see it more likely for the Doritos Awards)
• Helldivers 2 announcement of the Illuminate enemy faction being included to the game in October

But I think it's more likely to see only a few new western trailers from an already announced game to be released soon like Lego Horizon or Until Dawn remake. I think they had one ready to announce the first Concord post-launch character but well, there's now a empty spot there.

The timing also fits for an Horizon Online announcement, but I think would want to complete the Lego Horizon marketing first and also wait to implement changes there coming from the Concord postmortem lessons.

I think it's too early for GoT2 and won't be there, but they could always drop a logo teaser announcement without showing the game and without even saying a release date year (which I think would be minimum 2026 or 2027). Maybe next year.

I think the focus will be Asia:

• Death Stranding 2 gameplay reveal
• Astro Bot accolades trailer
• My First Gran Turismo gameplay reveal (even if it's just a GT7 trial)
• Lost Soul Aside release date reveal trailer
• Convallaria release date reveal trailer
• Something from MiHoyo: new ZZZ trailer revealing new characters
• Something from SE: Dragon Quest XII? Kingdom Hearts 4?
• Something from Capcom: Pragmata release date trailer? MH Wilds? Marvel vs Capcom compilation getting a release date?
• Something from Bandai Namco: some anime stuff
• Something from Sega (includes Atlus): maybe some gameplay reveal of some of their rebooted classic series
• Something from Konami: new trailer and release dates for Silent Hill 2 and / or MGS Delta
• Something from Koei Tecmo: Musou whatever, who knows if Knack Musou
• A few minor B or C tier Asian games from smaller publishers/developers with mechas, lolis or gatcha
• A few indies

I think that as usual will be a solid around half an hour long State of Play with many great or at least interesting games and news, but with only a few game announcements, maybe being only one of them big.

And as usual many people will complain, mostly those overhyped by the fake insiders.

 

[Kokoloko]

Hmmm. Astrobot being amazing doesnt mean Sony is gonna be any different to the last 5-4 years of lackluster shows and keeping there cards close

 

[John Elden Ring]

Lunatic Ignus is a very curious individual, he got no insider info on Wukong right and outright admited he stalks Insiders on Era.

 

[quest4441]

After the greatness of Astro we will now get time wasting slots in SoP with lego borizon and until flop. I hope the lego borizon flops hard like concord so we dont get more games ported to switch

Rumor has it PS5 Pro reveal is in 4 days.

What was the bet?

 

[mibu no ookami]

What was the bet?

thicc didn't think Sony would have an event by the end of the year highlighting the ps5 pro and 1st party games.

 

[Zzero]

Well, they'll have the Pro at it. Maybe a game too.

 

[ghostwriter74]

Can't wait for them to announce Concord 2.

No surprise here. Second or third week of September was always my guess. Only difference is that I was expecting it to be a PlayStation Showcase but if the State of Play is pretty big and meaty, then im fine with that. Give me Tsushima 2!!!
