What to Expect From the February Sony State of Play

Currently, no specific games have been confirmed for the Sony State of Play. However, there was a recent leak claiming that Devil May Cry 6 (DMC6) would be announced at the next Sony showcase. Although this latest rumor had a pretty shaky source. With Saros releasing in April, it wouldn’t be too surprising if we also saw some additional gameplay details from Housemarque.
The only thing confirmed is that the February 12 Sony Sate of Play will last 60 minutes in length. Sony have also revealed that the showcase will feature a mix of major third-party, indie, and first-party Sony games. What stands out the most from this announcement though, is that the State of Play will feature first party PlayStation studio games.
Here is a list of games that could be in the Sony State of Play on February 12:
- Resident Evil Requiem Demo Announced (Not confirmed, just rumored)
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3
- Saros
- Devil May Cry 6 (Recently leaked, but not confirmed)
- God of War 2.5D Metroidvania spinoff (Leaked from various credible sources)
