Update:Sony’s latest State of Play has now taken place with announcements from Square Enix, Capcom and more. There was a lot more new IP than anticipated. You can now watch the full live stream below orcatch up on everything that was announcedin our roundup, including Exoprimal, Final Fantasy, Returnal, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and more.
Original Story:Sony has confirmed that it will host its latest State of Play broadcast today with a focus on new games coming toPlayStation5 and PlayStation 4.
The livestream is set to take place officially on March 9th from 2PM PT / 5PM ET / 11:00PM CET across the official PlayStationTwitchandYouTubechannel. Sony has confirmed that the majority of titles shown off at the event will be from Japanese publishers and there will be no further updates onPSVR 2, be that software or hardware.
“The show is clocking in around 20 minutes, give or take, with a special focus on highlighting great games coming from some of our beloved Japanese publishers, though we’ll have a few updates from other developers located around the world, too,” wrote Sony Interactive Entertainment content communications specialist Kristen Zitani in an official PSblog post.
Sony last held a State of Play event focused on Gran Turismo 7 in February:
What we do expect to see is Ghostwire Tokyo from Tango Gameworks and Bethesda Softworks. The action-adventure is console exclusive to the PS5, so it makes all the sense in the world to give the game one final push ahead of its release on March 22nd.

Similarly, now that Square Enix has delayed Forspoken until October later this year, this would be the perfect time to pull back the curtain on Final Fantasy XVI. With the game being another PS5 exclusive and several rumours pointing to a release in 2022, could this be the big deep dive to end the livestream? For reference, Final Fantasy VI launched in November 2016.
Capcom is another that could show up. Street Fighter 6 is a possibility but with rumours of a Resident Evil 4 remake doing the rounds and Resident Evil: Village DLC previously confirmed, one of these seems more probable. As Capcom and Sony have a close relationship, this is more of a when than if. It’s also worth remembering that Resident Evil 3 remake was announced at a State of Play in December 2019.
Finally, while not Japanese, Sony did mention a few updates from other studios. The big two that could appear are Gotham Knights andHogwarts Legacyfrom Warner Bros. It feels as if only one of these will show up, and while rumours persist surrounding the Harry Potter spinoff rumours, I think Gotham Knights will more likely be put in the spotlight… that is if the game isn’t delayed. Already Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been pushed back to 2022 and no doubt WB will want Gotham Knights out to take advantage ofThe Batmanhype.
Ironically, WB Games has just confirmed ahead of the video stream that Gotham Knights will officially launch on October 25th, 2022. There’s still a chance we get a new trailer.

Finally, a new State of Play could be the perfect opportunity for Sony to reveal Project Spartacus, its rumoured rival to Xbox Game Pass. The biggest hint that the service is incoming took place in January when Sony beganremoving PS Now retail cards. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
PlayStation’s State of Play event will begin streaming at 2PM PT / 5PM ET / 11:00PM CET across Sony’s official channels. T3 will be rounding up all of the announcements, so make sure to come back for all of the latest news.
