by

Summary

  • Sony rumors suggest a major PlayStation showcase event in June, possibly a State of Play.
  • Potential games to be featured include Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Destiny 2 DLC, and Marvel projects.
  • Final trailer for Death Stranding 2 expected before June 26 release, showcasing gameplay details.

With 2025 already shaping up to be an exhilarating year for the gaming industry, there’s buzz that a potential PlayStation State of Play might take place in June. According to a recent post on X by industry insider Jeff Grubb, a “PlayStation event” is rumored for June. However, he emphasized that he isn’t certain whether it will be a State of Play or a larger showcase. Given that the second event of the year typically happens around May or June, another State of Play in June seems plausible.

If, as suggested, there will be a State of Play event in June, it could turn out to be a significant presentation given the exciting games that are expected to launch soon. It appears that Sony still has plenty of game releases up its sleeve, and June seems to be an ideal month for some of this year’s highly anticipated titles to make their debut.

Sony Might Be Saving Some Heavy Hitters for June’s Rumored State of Play

Death Stranding 2’s Final Push Could Set the Stage

If there’s a State of Play event in June, it’s highly likely that they won’t miss the opportunity to unveil one of their major titles: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Given that Death Stranding 2 is scheduled for a release on June 26, if this State of Play happens just a few weeks before the launch, it could not only pave the way for the rest of the presentation but also generate excitement for the sequel’s debut. So far, we’ve seen a couple of quite extensive trailers for Death Stranding 2, which primarily focus on the game’s narrative.

It seems clear that PlayStation still has plenty of gaming content up its sleeve, and many of this year’s highly anticipated games may make their appearance during June.

Beyond the trailers already shown, only initial sneak peeks of Death Stranding 2 have revealed substantial information about its gameplay, leaving plenty of room for more to be unveiled. Luckily, Hideo Kojima has hinted that another trailer for Death Stranding 2 is indeed in the works, albeit shorter and focusing less on the story. As suggested by a recent post from @Genki_JPN on X, Death Stranding 2’s “final trailer” is expected to be released approximately a week or two before its launch, which may align with the anticipated State of Play event.

Ghost of Yotei, Destiny 2 DLC, and a Marvel Wildcard Are All on the Table

Absolutely, it’s worth noting that Death Stranding 2 isn’t the only potential highlight for the supposed June State of Play event from PlayStation. Here are a few more possibilities:

Firstly, there’s the highly anticipated Ghost of Yotei, set to release in the fall but could benefit from another trailer.

Then we have the recently unveiled expansion for Destiny 2, The Edge of Fate, which has sparked renewed curiosity in the MMO since its announcement.

Lastly, Insomniac Games are working on exciting new projects such as Marvel’s Wolverine and a rumored Venom game, although the latter hasn’t been officially confirmed by the studio yet.

There are many exciting video games scheduled for release in 2025 that are generating much buzz within the gaming community. The State of Play could serve as a powerful marketing tool for these games, either as a final push or an initial announcement. However, at this point, the State of Play is only a rumor and will likely remain so until close to the event date. If it isn’t the State of Play, then whatever the rumored “PlayStation event” that Jeff Grubb mentioned will probably reveal something long-awaited by gamers worldwide.
