Overview

• Industry insider Jeff Grubb said he feels confident Sony will host a State of Play—or possibly a larger Showcase—before the end of September.
• Sony has not officially confirmed any event and normally makes announcements only days or weeks before the livestream.
• Grubb suggested that the live-service shooter Fairgames is unlikely to appear, following earlier cancellation claims that Michael Pachter later called a misspeak.
• Speculation remains over which titles could feature, with Marvel’s Wolverine considered too early and a rumored Metroidvania-style God of War among the candidates.
• Analysts note that a September broadcast would fit Sony’s recent pattern of multiple digital showcases and help bridge the gap between other industry events.
