Xbox has recently confirmed the debut of its inaugural Developer Direct for 2024, promising exciting news on major upcoming titles for the year. Meanwhile, Sony has been silent about any equivalent events, but that silence may not last much longer.
Industry insider Jeff Grubb suggests that a Sony State of Play event is in the pipeline. The timing is uncertain, but there's potential for its unveiling within the next few weeks. It's anticipated that the event might take place sometime between the end of January and the beginning of February, providing a strategic interval following the Xbox showcase. Alternatively, Sony could opt for an aggressive strategy and schedule its event around the same time. Confirmation will hinge on Sony's official announcement.
With the early 2024 timeline in mind for the State of Play, titles like Helldivers II and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth are likely to be spotlighted, assuming the event occurs before February's close. In addition to updates on known games, we're hopeful for some unexpected reveals to stir excitement for Sony's roster throughout the remainder of the year.
