Sony has been broadcasting their State of Play for quite some time now, where guests and devs discuss the latest games hitting the PlayStation platform as well as updates on games’ development.
On January 31, 2024, at 5PM EST, Sony’s first State of Play will go live, boasting over 40 minutes of guest appearances and updates about what’s in the pipeline for PlayStation this year.
According to the PlayStation blog, over 15 games will be covered during this State of Play broadcast, including Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin. Stellar Blade in particular was set to launch in 2023 exclusively to the PlayStation 5, but that sadly never came to fruition. The PS5 exclusive was initially known as Project Eve, when it made its debut in 2019 within a teaser trailer released by Sony.
Currently, these are the only two games that have been confirmed to be discussed during the livestream, but again it is said there will be 13 more titles involved within the broadcast. As with everything in the gaming industry, rumors have begun to circulate as to what other games might be showcased, as Insider Gaming covered a few tweets that seem to have leaked the entire State of Play lineup.
On the 31st (roughly), Ronins will Rise, we’ll die stranded, have a rebirth and Kojima will fulfil his dream. Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation while the hills will remain silent until the dawn when you’ll need to catch the metro. Just don’t be a Judas about it.

@Shpeshal_Nick on Twitter made a post that reads,
“On the 31st (roughly), Ronins will Rise, we’ll die stranded, have a rebirth, and Kojima will fulfill his dream. Sonic will live in the shadow of his generation while the hills will remain silent until the dawn when you’ll need to catch the metro. Just don’t be a Judas about it.”
This seems to elude to games like Death Stranding 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Judas, Silent Hill 2, and Sonic Generations Remastered being featured during the livestream. Though none of this is confirmed at this time, it is interesting to see this Tweet was made prior to Sony releasing the date and time for their State of Play broadcast. We will just have to wait it out and see if these games will, in fact, be mentioned on the 31st.
