State Of Play Returns Next Week, Will Include PlayStation VR2 Games

Sony announced that a new State of Play will air on Thursday, June 2, at 3:00 p.m. Pacifice/6:00 p.m. Eastern. 

The PlayStation Blog states the event will run for 30 minutes and showcases “exciting reveals from our third-party partners.” The post doesn’t mention first-party at all, so it sounds like we shouldn’t expect updates on games like God of War: Ragnarok, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, or the rumored remake of The Last of Us.

Sony also teases that viewers will get a “sneak peek” into PlayStation VR2 games. Just yesterday it was confirmed the headset will launch with over 20 games. Horizon: Call of the Wild is the only title that has been announced. However, it may not be included if the event is featuring third-party vendors. At that point, it’s anyone’s guess as to what PS VR2 software we’ll see.

In March, the last State of Play was held. This saw the unveiling of new games such as Gundam Evolution, Exoprimal and Valkyrie Elysium. Given that this could be Sony’s only real presence during June’s onslaught of game showcases, it hopefully has some heavy-hitters, even if they won’t be coming from its first-party studios.
