PlayStation has announced that it will hold a new State of Play event on Tuesday, June 2, at 2 PM PDT, 5 PM EDT, and 10 PM GMT. The showcase will last 60+ minutes and open with an extended look at Marvel’s Wolverine before it releases on September 15.
The event will feature “updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world,” which will likely include both third and first-party titles. Additionally, in the United States, the showcase will be available to watch at Alamo Drafthouse locations nationwide. Speculation has already begun to run rampant as people are hoping for a new look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Project, the next entry in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, or a return of a classic IP. Only time will tell what the upcoming State of Play will show off to the world.
Recently, PlayStation Studio Business CEO Herman Hulst stated internally that it will no longer release PlayStation 5 single-player games on other platforms. The announcement comes a few months after Bloomberg initially reported early discussions of this new initiative for Sony. Online games such as Marvel Tokōn: Fighting Souls and Marathon will still release on multiple platforms, including PC.
However, it appears that Ghost of Yōtei and SAROS will no longer release for other platforms. Further, it is now evident that Marvel’s Wolverine, the previously released God of War: Sons of Sparta, and the upcoming God of War remakes will also not be available on PC, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. The reason for the decision is currently unknown. Lastly, as of today, PlayStation has increased the price of the PlayStation Plus subscription service for new member. Prices for 1-month subscriptions will start at $10.99 USD / €9.99 EUR / £7.99 GBP, while 3-month subscription prices will start at $27.99 USD / €27.99 EUR / £21.99 GBP.
