That’s all fans know about the State of Play in an official capacity, but reliable leakers and insiders have suggested that the event will feature some other heavy hitters. Assuming the leaks are accurate, the PlayStation State of Play on January 31 could featureDeath Stranding 2,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth,Judas, aMetroVR game,Silent Hill 2, aSonic Generationsremaster, andanUntil Dawnremaster.
