Leaker NateTheHate has reinforced earlier reports of an imminent PS5 livestream, now suggesting that the digital showcase could take place next week.
Sony typically announces its events only a few days in advance, so confirmation may arrive as soon as Tuesday, 23 September. If accurate, the showcase would coincide with the Tokyo Game Show, which is also scheduled for next week.
Background
Sony has hosted either a major State of Play or a PlayStation Showcase every September for the past six years, and indications are that this pattern will continue in 2025. Recent reports have hinted that the company has plans for a presentation before the end of the month. NateTheHate, a leaker regarded as reliable, recently confirmed this, responding to a social media query with: "Sony has a presentation soon."
Industry sources, including Giant Bomb member Jeff Grubb, have suggested that the event is likely to be a State of Play livestream, rather than using the PlayStation Showcase branding.
Potential announcements
Rumours indicate that the long-awaited Marvel's Wolverine game could be the highlight of the showcase. The title is reportedly set for release in 2026, with a proper unveiling expected soon.
Other potential first-party reveals include Saros from Housemarque, a PS5 exclusive confirmed to appear before the end of the year, and a rumoured 2.5D God of War title, reportedly a smaller-scale project.
As usual, any first-party announcements would likely be accompanied by updates from third-party developers.
