Sony tipped to host major State of Play showcase this May

Sony's next State of Play might be closer than expected, as a new leak has pointed to a specific date that is just around the corner.

According to a post from Detective Seeds, a known gaming industry insider, Sony is rumored to be hosting its next State of Play event on May 15, potentially setting up a major PlayStation showcase in just a few weeks. While Sony has yet to officially confirm the presentation, the timing lines up with previous reports and ongoing industry chatter pointing to a mid-May broadcast. If accurate, this would mark Sony's next big opportunity to outline what's coming next for PS5.

The rumored timing also connects with several recent developments across Sony's lineup. Insomniac has already teased that more Wolverine news is coming soon, and a State of Play would be the perfect venue for a gameplay reveal ahead of launch. There's also growing momentum around a God of War spinoff centered on Faye, following recent leaks detailing a new narrative direction.

For now, the May 15 State of Play remains unconfirmed, but if Detective Seeds is on the money, Sony could be gearing up for a significant showcase that fans won't want to miss.

As for the rumored God of War game, reports indicate that Santa Monica Studios is working on a spinoff title with Kratos' wife Faye as the lead character. Additionally, the title is expected to explore multiple mythologies, including East-Asian mythologies. The title is rumored to be set within the God of War universe, but not a mainline title.
