Everything announced at the PlayStation State of Play May 2024

So let's start with the games we could see. AKA the PS5 titles already confirmed for a late 2024 launch window... and it's pretty slim pickings.

Concord is currently one of the only confirmed 2024 PS5 exclusives left to launch later this year. It's coming out of Firewalk Studios, a new developer comprised of Destiny veterans, which bodes well for this competitive FPS. 

We've really not seen much of the game yet, with the game announced and last seen at last year's May State of Play. If it is still set to launch this year, we're going to need some more info and a look at some gameplay.

Here's the reveal so you can catch up:

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 seems a likely participant in today's State of Play. The retooled vampire RPG from developer The Chinese Room and publisher Paradox Interactive currently only has a nebulous "Fall 2024" release window. Adding fuel to the possible fire is the fact that the game has been regularly releasing new little tidbits about the various clans in the game as of late. This seems like the perfect opportunity to announce a release date for the multiplatform game.

Another likely suspect for today is the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team. Not only is it coming to PS5 this year, and not only does it not currently have a definite release date, but the Konami franchise also happens to have its own showcase of sorts set for later today after the PlayStation State of Play. Sure, the timing could theoretically be a coincidence, but that'd be an extremely coincidental one.

When we start getting into "what else could possibly show up" territory, things get a bit wilder. For example, we've not really heard much about Fairgames, the Payday-like shooter from Jade Raymond and Haven Games, since it was first revealed during a PlayStation Showcase around this time last year. Seems we're due for an update, right?

Speaking of titles we've not heard much about, Marvel's Wolverine from Insomniac Games is also still somewhere on the horizon. A bunch of leaked information came out about the game late last year, but genuine news straight from the source has been minimal since being first announced in 2021. Given the impending release of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie in July, it feels like now's the perfect time to pull back the curtain a bit more.

As usual, there's some fairly confident scuttlebutt making the rounds ahead of the PlayStation State of Play too. As we noted when the State of Play was announced, some kind of new Astro Bot game and a Lego title set in the Horizon universe have been the subject of constant rumors the past several weeks. What either of those exactly looks like remains to be seen. But perhaps both make an appearance today?

There is at least one extreme gimme here: it would be wild if Destiny 2's The Final Shape didn't make some kind of appearance. Yes, Bungie also has Marathon cooking somewhere in the background, but the upcoming expansion is set to release next week on June 4. That is... very, very soon.

The timing of the awkward leak of The Final Shape today is also mighty suspicious. But even if that has nothing to do with anything else, it does seem like a good opportunity to show even more of what looks to be a rollicking good time. That is, at least according to our lengthy hands-on preview.

...not that I would mind if Bungie did in fact say something about Marathon, the upcoming return of the developer's classic franchise. The upcoming sci-fi PvP extraction shooter was revealed at the PlayStation Showcase around this time last year, and not much has really been said of it since then. It'd be nice to see more, but The Final Shape feels like a more likely suspect.

While we're on the topic of games we wouldn't mind hearing from, BioWare it would be ever so kind of you to say something, anything at all, of significance about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the upcoming sequel that's seemingly set for a full reveal this summer.

It doesn't even have to be during the PlayStation State of Play today! It can be whenever you like! But it would be mighty fine of you to say it during the State of Play. (And if we're keen on wishful thinking, whatever the next Mass Effect game is would be lovely to see too.)

If Sony is focused on some PlayStation Studios games, then there's a potential that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - although I still can't believe that's the real title. However, if Sony is only showcasing games coming before the end of the year, that does rule out Sam Porter Bridges' return as it's scheduled to launch in 2025. 

The game that always lurks in the back of my mind is Pragmata from Capcom. Originally revealed way back in the mires of 2020, we've barely seen anything of it since, apart from Capcom delaying the game indefinitely at its own showcase last year. It's essentially Capcom's take on the dad game, but with more telekentic powers and mechanical enemies that you'll find in God of War or The Last of Us. 

The live stream is up and on the countdown if you want to get it ready

What about Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater? We don't have a release date for that yet, and feels like a game that's going to appear on the Summer Game Fest schedule somewhere, surely?

I'm not going to embed it here for fear of spoilers, but there's a rumor going around that the entire State of Play line-up has leaked. You can see it on Twitter here. It's an interesting line-up, and we all here at 12DOVE are mighty hyped for a new Astrobot. 

Just 10 minutes to go now, grab your popcorn.

You can also watch on Twitch

Okay folks, here we go. Is the leak going to be accurate do we think?
