A new Astro Bot toy was leaked on Friday and is expected to be part of the show. Other potential announcements include God of War Ragnarok on PC, Silent Hill 2, and the long-rumored PS5 Pro.
PlayStation has a lot of question marks over its release schedule as it continues through the latter half of 2024 and beyond. It recently appointed two new CEOs, Hermen Holst and Hideaki Nishino, who will seek to continue Sony’s momentum in the post-Jim Ryan era. State of Play should at least answer some questions about PlayStation’s strategy moving forward.
You can watch the state of play on PlayStation channels, including YouTube and Twitch. Next, stay tuned to Beyond for all our reactions as well as a recap of everything that’s been announced. And of course, we’re looking forward to IGN Live, which takes place from June 7 to June 9 in Los Angeles.
